Zaor Maestro 36+18 Black Oak Studio furniture

Mastering-Style Studio Desk for Hardware Workflows

The Zaor Maestro 36+18 Black Oak is a professional studio desk built for engineers and producers who run outboard compressors, EQs, and analogue processors. With 36 desktop rack units plus 18 underneath, it consolidates an entire hardware chain into a single, organized workstation. A 1581 mm wide surface keeps every processor within immediate reach, while the lower bay houses power supplies, converters, and patchbays.

Acoustic Transparency and Cable Discipline Built In

Few studio desks treat acoustic behaviour and wiring hygiene as core design priorities, but this model does. The desktop is covered in acoustic felt that suppresses comb-filter reflections from gear on the work surface, while dedicated absorption panels at the rear tame stray reflections from nearby monitors. Dual cable paths physically separate audio signal wiring from power cables, reducing interference and keeping complex multi-unit rigs tidy.

Dimensions and Rack Capacity for a Mastering Studio

Designed to host a full mastering-grade signal chain without crowding the engineer, the frame leaves room for angled desktop racks and rear absorption panels. A lowered rear shelf accommodates nearfield speakers and screens at the correct listening height.

• Width: 158.1 cm — fits three 12U angled rack bays side by side
• Height: 83.7 cm — back-panel height that supports the lowered speaker/screen shelf
• Depth: 105.0 cm — leaves room for angled desktop racks and rear absorption panels
• Desktop Rack Space: 36U (3 × 12U angled) — keeps compressors, EQs, and limiters visible and within reach
• Lower Rack Space: 18U (3 × 6U vertical) — dedicated space for PSUs, converters, and patchbays

Engineers Who Run Hardware-Heavy Studios

Mixing and mastering engineers, hybrid producers, and project-studio owners who want their entire outboard chain mounted and wired in a single workstation will find this desk a strong fit. With 54U of total rack capacity, the layout suits studios running multi-stage analogue processing chains — bus compressors, character EQs, mastering limiters, and high-end converters — alongside a DAW controller. Acoustic felt on the desktop and rear absorption panels also make it well suited to critical listening rooms where the desk must stay out of the way of the monitoring signal.
