Edman Studio is my own small homestudio, located inside my house, just outside Stockholm.
It was updated and improved in autumn 2005 with new equipment, and I'm really satisfied with the sound quality I can achieve with my new gear.
I am producing and recording almost all my vocal performances here.
The albums with Richard Andersson, Claes Corin, Street Talk, XsavioR and all the upcoming stuff was/will be recorded by me in my homestudio, very relaxing work schedules, without time pressure.

Here follows a short explanation of what kind of equipment I am currently using:

Microphone

My microphone is not a standard Neumann U47. The internal circuitry is from an M49, matched with the original diaphragm from the U47.
For a funny coincidence, Marie Fredriksson from Roxette used a copy of the same mic to record the "Joyride" album.

The main rig

Very simple, yet effective choice of components.
- a preamplifier: it amplifies the signal received from the microphone.
- a compressor: it keeps the volume from going too quiet or too loud.
- a converter: it "converts" the audio signal into digital form and feeds it to the computer for recording.
You can also notice a tiny mixer on top and an effect processor at the bottom.
For the experts, here comes a detailed description of each unit.

The vocal pre-amp

This is an exclusive piece of gear! An MDI-400 preamplifier, modified from an old MCI mixerboard by Dragan Tanaskovic (owner of Bohus Sound Studios and founder member of Kharma). MCI used to make high-end studio equipment before being acquired by Sony in 1992. There are only 20 units like this in the whole world!
For Kharma, Karmakanic and a few other albums, I have used a Fairman stereo tube preamp/compressor combo.

The compressor and AD/DA converter

The LA-3A is a solid-state audio compressor, a reissue of the original unit built by UREI, very well-known and widely used in recording studios all over the world since the late 60's. It's the perfect choice for compressing vocal tracks.
To capture my vocals, I use a MOTU HD192 interface, one of the best sounding analog-to-digital converters on the market, connected via PCI to the computer.

The studio monitors

The speakers I use in my studio are a pair of Event 20/20bas direct field monitors. They offer a very accurate reproduction of the frequencies, another standard choice for recording studios.

The computer

Macintosh G5, of course. As recording software, I use Logic with a few different effects plug-ins.
