Originally known as The Hit Factory Germano studios in New York City have churned out hit after hit from the 1970s to this day. Serving rock hip hop and R&B’s elite—from David Bowie and Stevie Wonder to Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna—the Hit Factory’s big modern sound has earned it a place of honor in the history of recording. Now thanks to the accuracy of Waves Nx® immersive audio technology you can mix in the Hit Factory’s famous control room—and achieve better more reliable mixes on headphones. All this plus EQ correction curves for over 270 popular headphone models make Nx the ultimate headphone reference plugin.

Better Mixes—Anytime Anywhere

Sometimes headphones are your most convenient monitoring option. But mixing on headphones can be unreliable: you might easily add too much ambient reverb or too much low end etc. Nx Germano corrects the inherent limitations of the headphone experience so you can create mixes that will translate perfectly to any system.

Mix in a Legendary Control Room

Giants from Stevie Wonder the Rolling Stones and Notorious B.I.G. to Kendrick Lamar have had their music recorded and mixed in New York City’s Hit Factory later renamed Germano Studios. Now you have access to a three-dimensional replication of this stellar mixing space.

Accurate Acoustics and Low End Response

The Germano/Hit Factory rooms have been known for their power punch and club-worthy low end response. The Nx Germano plugin brings these acoustic qualities to headphones thanks to precision acoustic measurements of the Germano control room coupled with Waves Nx® immersive audio technology.

EQ Correction for 270 Headphone Models

Nx Germano uses the state-of-the-art Harman Headphone Target Curve method to correct EQ response for over 270 studio headphones including models by Sony Beyerdynamic Sennheiser AKG Audio Technica Audeze Focal and dozens more brands.

Choose from 3 Sets of Trusted Studio Monitors

Reference your tracks on three sets of classic stereo monitors: The must-have NS-10M nearfields Germano Acoustics AEON 2 and the powerful Exigy custom-designed speakers from SGD and Troy Germano—their low end response is amazing.

Mix and Monitor Surround Sound—on Any Stereo Headphones

Germano Studios New York is known for its exemplary surround monitoring. This plugin includes surround monitoring as a separate component. Now even a stereo headphone mix can reflect surround mix placements.

Track Head Motion for Extra Realism

When you move your head in a studio it affects how you hear the sound. Your computer’s video camera or the dedicated Nx Head Tracker can track head motion to give a VR-like hyper-realistic experience.
