Toru Kitajima's Studio Equipment

The DAW is Steinberg Cubase Pro, and the audio interface was replaced last year with Apogee Symphony I / O Mk II. I originally loved Apogee's A / D converter, and until then I used the AD-16 connected to the RME's audio interface, but after the Symphony I / O Mk II came out, its dense low frequencies And the resolution was very good with my mix, so I replaced them. For the monitor controller, I used Grace Design m920 with S / PDIF connection before, but when I tried the Symphony I / O Mk II D / A converter when the fuse of m920 was blown, it was low. The sound of the center of gravity was surprisingly pleasant, so I'm just putting it out right now. The speaker was replaced by Focal's Solo6 Be last year.
