Zaor Maestro 24+12 All Black Studio furniture

Mastering-Style Studio Desk for Hardware-Based Workflows

The Zaor Maestro 24+12 All Black is a low-profile mastering-style workstation desk engineered for studios that rely on rack-mounted outboard gear. With 36U of rack capacity split between a 24U desktop bay and a 12U lower bay, this workstation brings compressors, equalisers, converters and power supplies directly into the listening position. Built for producers and mastering engineers who want tactile control of their signal chain, the design prioritises acoustic transparency over flashy aesthetics.

Acoustic-First Design and Hardware-Centric Layout

What separates this workstation from a generic studio desk is its acoustic-first construction. The desktop is lined with acoustic felt to suppress comb-filter reflections, while rear absorption panels soak up stray sound from the back wall. A dual cable path routes power and audio through separate channels, keeping mains cables away from delicate signal lines. Open side panels with perforated venting deliver constant airflow, so 24U of stacked processors stay cool during long sessions.

Dimensions and Rack Capacity — Built to Fit a Working Studio

The footprint and rack layout are tuned for project studios where every centimetre counts. The desk sits at a comfortable working height with a lowered screen and speaker plane that places nearfield monitors at the correct angle without additional stands.

• Width: 107.2 cm — fits a typical control room without dominating the space
• Height: 83.7 cm — low-profile working height for long sessions
• Depth: 105.0 cm — leaves room for a nearfield monitor spread and rear cable access
• Rack Capacity: 36U total (24U desktop + 12U bottom) — accommodates full mastering chains plus PSUs and converters
• Rack Format: 19-inch rackmount — industry-standard for professional outboard gear
• Build Material: MDF and solid wood — rigid, low-resonance construction for stable rack rails

For Producers, Engineers and Mastering Studios Running Hardware Chains

The Zaor Maestro 24+12 All Black is the right choice for project studios and professional mastering rooms that need a permanent, ergonomic home for rack-mounted outboard gear. Producers who prefer reaching for a knob over clicking a mouse will appreciate the desktop-mounted 24U bay, while the 12U lower bay suits power supplies, converters and less frequently used processors. Acoustic treatment built into the desk makes it well suited to smaller rooms where reflections are hard to control, and the dual cable path helps anyone running a complex hybrid analogue/digital setup. The all-black finish keeps the visual profile understated in darker, screen-lit studio environments.
