Direct Sound Records London-Rome
Direct Sound Records / Audio Tools
A family of focused audio tools for measuring, understanding and improving vinyl playback, turntable performance, listening rooms and the sound around you.
Vinyl playback analysis
Set up your cartridge.
Reveal what your turntable is really doing.
Professional analysis for cartridge and turntable setup. Measure speed, channel behaviour, crosstalk, tracking, distortion and recurring playback patterns with tools designed specifically for vinyl.
Room acoustics & listening optimisation
Know your room.
Improve your listening.
Understand how your room shapes what you hear. Measure frequency response, identify acoustic issues and explore practical improvements to speaker placement, listening position and room treatment.
Turntable setup & mechanics
Your turntable under control.
Explore tonearm and cartridge compatibility, investigate resonance, RPM and vibration, and keep track of stylus use in one focused turntable workspace.
Sound level measurement & analysis
Measure sound.
Understand your environment.
Measure sound pressure, analyse level and frequency behaviour, document acoustic environments and build meaningful measurements with the context needed to understand what the numbers really mean.
The Direct Sound Records approach
Our tools are designed to turn measurements into useful information. Not numbers for their own sake, but a clearer understanding of the relationships between the record, the turntable, the room and the sound you finally hear.
