Zaor Maestro Solo 12+6 Silver/Black Studio furniture

Studio Desk Built Around 18U of Hardware Rack Space

The Zaor Maestro Solo 12+6 Silver Black is a compact studio desk for engineers running hardware-based mixing and mastering setups, working as a sidecar beside a larger Maestro console or as a standalone workstation in smaller rooms. The 12U top rack and 6U bottom rack deliver 18 rack units of 19-inch storage for compressors, EQs, preamps, converters, and patchbays in one ergonomic footprint, with a rear shelf for a computer monitor or speakers and an acoustic-felt work surface with rear absorption panel to keep early reflections from colouring the mix position.

Acoustic Treatment and Cable Management Built In

What separates the Maestro Solo 12+6 from a generic rack stand is the acoustic engineering inside the furniture. The desktop is lined with acoustic felt to suppress comb-filter effects from reflections, rear-mounted absorption panels continue that treatment behind the rack bays, and dual cable paths route audio and power wiring through separate channels to keep mains-induced hum away from sensitive analogue gear.

Dimensions, Capacity, and Build

The compact footprint brings serious rack capacity into rooms where a full-size mastering console would dominate the space.

• Dimensions (D × H): 1049 × 837 mm — deep but compact footprint that pushes back against the wall
• Top Rack: 12U (19-inch) — angled for ergonomic access to frequently used processors
• Bottom Rack: 6U (19-inch) — for power supplies, converters, and patchbays
• Total Rack Capacity: 18U — enough for a full hybrid analogue/digital processing chain
• Acoustic Treatment: acoustic-felt desktop with rear absorption panels and dual cable paths — reduces reflections and keeps mains-induced hum away from analogue gear

Engineers Building a Hardware-Centric Hybrid Studio

The Maestro Solo 12+6 is the right choice for mixing and mastering engineers who need 18U of ergonomic rack storage in a room where a full console would be overkill. It suits hybrid setups that combine analogue outboard with a DAW, giving immediate hands-on access to the most-used processors while keeping power supplies and converters tucked into the lower bay, and smaller project studios benefit from the compact footprint while larger rooms can deploy it as a sidecar next to a bigger Maestro desk.
