What our clients say

Real reviews from Angers clients.

S

Songwriter

★★★★★

"They talked me out of a large-diaphragm condenser for an untreated room and sold me a dynamic instead. It was the right call."

R

Rehearsal collective

★★★★★

"The setup session sorted out placement and gain staging in an afternoon. We had been fighting the room for a year."

P

Podcast producer

★★★★★

"Second-hand interface with a warranty and a proper check. It has run four hours a day for two years."

About Us

Group Design Family — Your trusted partner in Angers

Group Design Family opened in 2015 to serve people building small rooms rather than large facilities. Most of our customers are recording at home, in a converted garage or in a rehearsal space shared with three other bands. The budgets are real and the constraints are worse than in a proper studio. That shapes the advice: we spend more time talking about placement, isolation and the second-hand market than about the newest release, and we would rather sell someone less this year and see them again the next.

A first purchase that disappoints usually ends a hobby. That is a worse outcome for us than a smaller invoice.

Frequently asked

Starting a room from nothing

Into the room and the microphone that suits it, in that order. An expensive microphone in an untreated room records the room. A modest one placed well records the source, and that is what people hear.

Yes, all of it bench-checked and carrying a six-month warranty. For a first setup it is often the sensible route, and it leaves budget for treatment and stands.

We can. A session covers placement, levels and a first recording, and it usually saves more money than it costs by preventing the next three purchases.
