Zaor Matrix Angled Studio Desk — Ergonomic Workstation for Mid-Sized Consoles

The Zaor Matrix Angled is a large-format studio desk built for professional control rooms, mastering suites, and post-production environments. Its angled, semicircular rack layout places every fader, knob, and outboard unit within close ergonomic reach, reducing fatigue during long mix sessions. Designed as a customised solution for SSL Matrix and MKII consoles, this workstation combines an integrated mixer surface, meter bridge, and angled rack bays in one cohesive piece of studio furniture. The black finish integrates cleanly into dark, acoustically treated rooms, while the elevated monitor shelf keeps screens and speakers at proper listening height.

What Sets the Matrix Angled Apart

Unlike flat studio desks, the angled geometry of this model wraps the engineer in their gear, with rack bays tilted toward the seated position for direct line-of-sight to every module. The combination of solid wood and MDF in the chassis delivers both mass for vibration damping and a refined surface finish. Extensive integrated cable management keeps signal and power paths hidden, preserving the clean look of a professional control room.

Dimensions and Build — Anchoring a Control Room

The footprint of this workstation is sized to host mid-sized consoles while leaving clearance for peripherals, computers, and patchbays. Solid wood and MDF panels form the structural core, balancing rigidity with the warm aesthetic expected in a finished studio.

• Width: 253 cm — accommodates mid-sized consoles and outboard racks side by side
• Height: 90 cm — overall height at the elevated shelf, armrest at 71.5 cm
• Depth: 125 cm — leaves clearance for a meter bridge, screens, and patchbays
• Materials: MDF and solid wood — mass for stability, finish for studio aesthetics
• Rack Capacity: two rows of 11 RU on each side, optional 6 RU at the bottom — houses outboard preamps, compressors, and converters

Who Should Choose the Matrix Angled

The Zaor Matrix Angled is the right choice for professional studios, mastering rooms, and post-production facilities that anchor their workflow around a mid-sized console such as the SSL Matrix or MKII. Engineers running hybrid analog and digital setups will appreciate the dedicated rack space for outboard gear alongside a central pocket sized for hardware controllers and computer screens. Producers outfitting a dedicated control room benefit from the integrated meter bridge and elevated monitor shelf, which together create a calibrated listening position without the need for separate furniture. Smaller project studios with ambitions toward professional-grade ergonomics will also find the angled geometry a meaningful upgrade over flat desks.
