Zaor Maestro 24+12 Oak Black Studio furniture

Mastering Desk for Hardware-Based Workflows

The Zaor Maestro 24+12 Oak Black is a low-profile, acoustically optimized studio desk for mastering engineers and producers working with outboard gear. Two angled 12U columns on the desktop hold 24U of compressors, equalizers and character processors, while a 12U lower bay accommodates power supplies and converters. The compact footprint keeps every key tool within arm's reach.

Acoustic and Ergonomic Engineering

What sets this desk apart is its acoustic-first design. Vicoustic VMT absorber panels line the rear, and an acoustic felt desktop suppresses comb-filter reflections that would color the monitoring signal. Open side panels deliver continuous airflow across stacked rack gear, while a padded armrest and a lowered screen shelf support long critical-listening sessions.

Technical Specifications

• Width: 1072 mm — fits standard control room widths while leaving room for nearfield monitors on the rear shelf
• Depth: 1050 mm — supports deep 1U processors and angled top racks without intruding on knee space
• Height: 837 mm — keeps top rack rows at a comfortable seated eye-and-hand level
• Rack Capacity: 24U top (2 × 12U angled) + 12U bottom — hosts bus compressors, EQs, PSUs and converters
• Cable Management: Dual routing paths for audio and power — minimizes ground-loop and interference risk

Who Is It For

This desk is the right choice for mastering engineers, mixing professionals and project-studio owners running substantial outboard chains who need every processor visible and reachable. It suits rooms where acoustic transparency of the furniture itself matters — the desk stays out of the sound wave path and absorbs stray reflections rather than bouncing them back into the monitors. Home-studio producers upgrading from a generic table will appreciate the compact form factor, while commercial mastering suites will value the build quality and pre-installed Vicoustic treatment.
