The Van Damme range has been designed, engineered and refined for over three decades as a result of technological advances and customer driven requirements.
Prime Studio, one of Europe’s most scenic and technically sophisticated recording destinations, has once again partnered with Van Damme to bring high-spec custom cabling to its latest room: Studio C.
Located in the Austrian Alps, Prime Studio is known for its world-class acoustics, rare vintage gear, and breathtaking surroundings. The studio’s founders, Bjorn Heitzer and Gerhard Buchbauer, previously worked with Van Damme on Studio A, and returned in late 2023 to equip Studio C; a mastering and post-production control room built around legendary Abbey Road EMI TG12345 MK IV and TG12410 consoles.

The new installation was completed using a range of bespoke Van Damme assemblies, including:
- EDAC looms made with 12-pair Blue Series cable
- D-sub looms using both 8-pair and 16-pair Blue Series
- AES digital connections using Green Series cable
- Quad microphone cabling for high-fidelity analogue signal integrity
“Studio C was a precise and high-performance install, and we supplied all assemblies to custom spec and labelling, delivered on time and without issues,” said Adam Jafrabad,
Export Director at VDC Trading.
“Van Damme is the industry standard for a reason – our broad range and technical expertise means we’re able to meet the strictest requirements of facilities like Prime Studio.”
Studio C is designed as a fully isolated mastering suite, constructed separately from the main studio building for enhanced acoustic control. It features a custom 5.1 monitoring system from SurrounTec, DSD/DXD mastering capabilities via a Merging Technologies Pyramix system, and offers simultaneous 48-track recording and mastering at the highest fidelity.
With Studios A, B and C all now equipped with Van Damme cabling, Prime Studio continues to deliver exceptional quality across recording, mixing and mastering workflows – from vintage warmth to digital precision.
