About RSE audio

From the Founder

RSE Audio began with a practical idea: to design studio equipment for the music we were actually recording.

Inspired by my wife Anastasiia, a jazz vocalist, I started developing a channel strip intended to complement her voice while also exploring my long-standing interest in analog audio electronics. Some of the early development can still be found in this Gearspace discussion .

What began as a personal project gradually developed into RSE Audio.

Today, we design and manufacture analog studio equipment in Sumy, Ukraine. Our work includes tube, transformer and discrete circuits for recording, mixing and mastering, with products ranging from microphone preamps and channel strips to compressors and saturation processors.

We develop our own circuit solutions rather than treating classic designs as fixed templates. Historical studio equipment is an important source of engineering knowledge and inspiration, but our products are designed around our own requirements, measurements and practical experience.

RSE Audio remains a small-batch manufacturer. Every unit is assembled, calibrated and tested before shipment, and product development continues throughout the production life where improvements in performance, reliability or serviceability are possible.

Over the past decade, RSE Audio equipment has found its way into studios and production environments across Europe, the United States and other parts of the world.
