Apogee Users: Forward Studios, Rome

When Quality Requires Quality

Marco Capaccioni & Massimo Scarparo

Forward Studios, Owner Massimo Scarparo's “Sound Factory,” is a dream realized. As the ideal synergy of classical Roman style and modern technology, it is a fully featured recording facility in the heart of Rome, Italy. Massimo wanted to fulfill his need of having a sound studio in his native country that paralleled top professional studios around the world. With quality as his top priority, Apogee’s AD&DA-16X converters were the obvious choice for his “Regia Aurelius” dream studio. He credits them as being the perfect partners for the only installed SSL 9000J in Italy.

Forward Studios exhibits all the elements of a professional recording and mixing studio while exuding the beautiful and historical qualities of Italian architecture. The studios were reconstructed and designed within antique Roman villas. Musicians and recording engineers can therefore work in the most serene environment surrounded by World-class audio products.

Marco Capaccioni, Apogee user and accomplished Italian recording engineer, mixer and producer, manages International projects for the studio and uses the studio for his own projects.Massimo has created one of the World’s most tranquil and creative studio environments matched, if not surpassed, by the professional quality of its products. With a “Sound Factory” like this, it is no wonder that Owner Massimo Scarparo requested Apogee’s AD & DA-16X.
