Mixing & Mastering Studio

High fidelity music post production in Stereo and Dolby Atmos.

Schaltgeraete Studios is a mixing and mastering studio with roots in both electronic and acoustic music. We spent years touring as musicians ourselves. Our home is a former switchgear factory in Werder (Havel), just outside Berlin, which we share with our film post-production team. Our mastering room is acoustically transparent, revealing what home setups tend to hide. The studio is genre-agnostic by nature, with a special love for niche aesthetics. Alongside stereo mastering and mixing we offer Dolby Atmos mixing, and we are approved by Apple as an Apple Digital Masters provider. More about us

Stereo Mastering

Stereo mastering is the art of making music sound more polished and alive, while skillfully navigating the necessity of limiting the dynamic range. Listen to the loudness-normalized before-and-after examples below to hear what our mastering can do for your music. Learn more about mastering.

Can’t figure out why your vocal or kick drum is not working in your track? With stem mastering we can work on a vocal or kick drum before it reaches the mastering chain and make sure the mix is on the next level while being on a budget. Learn more about mastering.

Working with Schaltgeraete Studios was such a bliss. I appreciated working with them a Lot: they were always reachable and open to my ideas and needs. The process of mixing and mastering can sometimes be draining and long, however I always felt being taken care of and them putting in the extra effort through out the whole process. Very much recommended!!!

Working with Bernhard is always a huge learning process for me and I get crisp and very musical masters for all my productions of different genres!

Bernhard has mastered our latest EP, both digital and for vinyl production, and the result is really outstanding. Mastering is a critical part of the release and I can honestly say that the outcome is top-notch. I can only recommend.

What I particularly appreciate about Bernhard’s mastering is the blend of technical precision and musical intuition. He doesn't just listen analytically; as a musician himself, he immediately grasps the intention behind a production. His work gives my music depth and clarity without sacrificing character or dynamics. Especially in an era of 'maximum loudness,' he ensures that the substance always remains intact.

Bernhard made the whole thing sound like one record by bringing all the tracks to the same level without taking away character or individuality of the tracks.

Great job!

It was Ralph Heidel, the producer and mixer of my tracks, who recommended Bernhard for the mastering. He was right to do so, because each track is perfectly homogenous and the whole record sounds very cohesive now. This made Ralph's mixes even clearer and more accessible on every possible playback system. I m very happy about this collaboration so, thank you Schaltgeraete Studios!
