If you're looking for that 'X-Factor' for your mix buss you really need to check out the HE2. The HE2 is a 2-channel, 3-band EQ with Harmonic Saturation and remote control via a dedicated VST/AU/AAX Plug-in!

The HE2 brings dull mixes to life with energy and gives them a professional sheen without the feeling of it being 'over EQ'd', it's quite incredible!

A quick heads-up for anyone planning their next studio upgrade.

Since bringing Wavebone Studio Furniture to New Zealand, we’ve worked hard to keep pricing as accessible as possible, and we’ve been able to hold our original pricing since 2022!

Unfortunately, that’s about to change. From 1 October, we’ll be forced to increase our Wavebone pricing due to freight increasing at an exponential rate.

The good news? Everything we currently have in stock will remain available at the current pricing until 30 September.

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your workspace with a Headquarter, Fin Rack, Grand Speaker Stands or another Wavebone piece, now is a great time to make the move.

Check out these kiwi studios using Wavebone Furniture!

Current stock. Current pricing. Until 30 September.

Time to make your studio feel like a studio, it deserves an upgrade. Just like the lucky NZ Customer!

Wavebone Studio Furniture has it covered.

Starting with a Headquarter Workstation Desk, this gives you a proper command centre for your setup, plenty of workspace, integrated rack space and a dedicated keyboard stand, all built around the way you actually make music.

Then add a FIN 13U Rack and start getting that outboard, synth and hardware collection under control.

And don't forget the monitors. The Grand Speaker Stands give you a rock-solid platform with seven height adjustments, so you can get your monitors exactly where you want them.

But here's the thing we really like about Wavebone: It all matches and looks like a customer selected system.

The Headquarter, FIN and Grand stands share the same design, so instead of adding another piece of furniture to the room, you're building an actual studio environment one piece at atime!

Functional. Organised. Comfortable. And, let's be honest...It looks good!

Whether you're building your first proper room or giving an established studio the upgrade it deserves, Wavebone gives you a way to make the whole setup feel considered — without making it feel sterile.

Small Monitor, big sweet spot!

The Focal Alpha 50 Evo might be compact, but don’t let the size fool you. This is a professional monitor suitable for small to mid rooms that want performance and accuracy that Focal is renown for, but for the budget conscious.

At $1499 NZ for a pair (with free shipping and cables) the Evo 50 punches way above its price tag and it makes you wonder how they do it. Using a slate fiber woofer and an aluminium inverted-dome tweeter, giving it a fast, punchy low end, accurate mids and the kind of detailed top end that makes it easy to hear what’s really happening in your mix.

And because it’s a Focal, you get that seriously impressive detail, translation and musicality, enough accuracy for critical mixing, and enjoyment.

If space is limited but your expectations aren't, this one deserves a listen.

Focal Alpha 50 Evo. Small footprint. Serious monitoring.

In stock and available now.

There's plugins, and there’s analog hardware....and there's a Fairchild.

Usually only available to a very deep pocket! But thanks to Heritage Audio we now have the Herchild NextGen which is at a much more realistic price point of $5999NZD.

The Herchild NextGen brings all the seriously old-school character of a vintage Fairchild to the modern studio, but with some modern upgrades like faster attack times and a bypass.

Think fat drums. Glorious vocals. Bass that sits just right. And that unmistakable feeling that no matter what you do with it, it works.

Vintage vibe with modern reliability.

The best part is that the next generation of musicians will enjoy it right here in Wellington for many years to come.

Custom ordered and configured with 16 stereo faders giving 16 stereo channels at mix, or 16 mono channels all with lovely Shelford Preamp and EQ's for tracking. All of which makes this console a modern workflow dream or a vintage tracking monster!

Thank you to our customer for placing their trust in us. We can't wait to see what gets created on this incredible desk. We'll update with where and when at a later date.
