Paramount Recording Studios announced this week that it has "chosen the AKG K371 as its standard headphone across all rooms, citing the model’s exceptional accuracy, comfort, and reliability in high-demand studio environments."
"Located in the heart of Hollywood, Paramount Recording Studios has served as a creative hub for the world’s top recording artists since 1969," they said in a statement. "Serving major labels, independent artists, and film/TV productions, the studio is known for its cutting-edge creative work and relentless pursuit of sonic excellence."
“There hasn’t really been a standard headphone across studios in our tenure in the industry,” said Eli Smith, General Manager of Paramount Recording Studios. “The K371s are a breath of fresh air.”
"With a closed-back design and neutral frequency response, the AKG K371 headphones provide engineers and artists with a consistent and accurate monitoring tool, regardless of room acoustics," they added. "Paramount uses the headphones throughout its facility—during tracking sessions, mix-checks, vocal booth recording, and late-night edits where monitor use is limited."
“They strike the right balance between studio-grade clarity and practical comfort and help solve the sonic challenges of spaces that are not acoustically designed or treated,” Smith added. “You know exactly what you're hearing, which helps us move quickly without second-guessing balances or tonal decisions, which is essential in a fast-paced, high output environment like ours.”
“We have them in all of our rooms now,” Smith said. “They’ve become an essential part of the way we work.”
By standardizing on the AKG K371, Paramount Recording Studios reaffirms its commitment to technical excellence and creative consistency," they said. "In an industry where precision and speed are everything, the K371s offer a trusted monitoring solution that meets the demands of both artists and engineers. As Paramount continues to shape the sound of today’s music and media, the AKG K371 headphones are now a permanent fixture in the workflow—delivering the clarity, confidence, and cohesion that world-class production demands."
