This is my desk

Workstation setup

  • Apple Macbook Pro M2 Max 16" (2023)
    An absolute insane workhorse!
  • Apple Magic Mouse
    2nd generation with battery, and I don't have a problem with the charging port placement.
  • Apple Magic Keyboard
    The small one with fingerprint.
  • CalDigit TS-4 Thunderbolt dock
    For easy connection of all my peripherals (disks, soundcard and monitors), and easy switching between my private and my work-Macbook.
  • DELL 34" Ultravide (U3417W) as primary display
    Older model but still great!
  • ASUS 24" (VN247) as secondary display in portrait mode
    Super crappy monitor with bad colors and questionable viewangles, but good enough for running terminals and other stuff I don't need to look at all the time.
  • Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 mk2
    8 channels of decent preamps in 1U.
  • ART MX225
    5 channel Matrix mixer in 1U for splitting my master signal to monitors, recorder, camera - whatever I need in the moment.
  • Yamaha HS5 active monitors
    Both monitors are on stands to match ear height. Decent monitors for highs and mids but cut out on low-end.
  • KRK Rokit 5 active monitors
    Second pair of monitors for low-end. Not great but they do the job.
  • Wester Digital 1TB USB2 Time Machine
    Apple Time Machine backup. Not really necessary since I use a lot of iCloud and Dropbox, but it's more like a comfort feature If I should need to reinstall or migrate.
  • Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 ohm
    Over ear headphones for recording and basic audio production.
