Four-time Grammy winner Ryan Lewis is equipping two upcoming commercial studio facilities with Harrison audio gear through a partnership with retailer and integrator Vintage King Audio. According to ProSoundWeb, Lewis has installed a Harrison 32Classic analog inline mixing console and seven D510R 500 Series racks in his Washington state private studio, which is scheduled to open commercially in spring 2027. A second 32Classic console has been delivered for a separate facility under construction in Los Angeles, targeting a first-half 2027 launch.
ProSoundWeb reports that Lewis selected the equipment for its integrated Dante interface and analog routing capabilities, which eliminate traditional patching requirements. The Washington studio design utilizes the console’s direct outputs to create a permanent effects matrix connected to the D510R racks. Four of these seven racks are specifically dedicated to channel inserts, housing twelve Harrison VCA compressors and twenty SSL dynamics modules to provide compression on every console channel. The remaining three racks serve distinct purposes: one holds outboard effects, another contains preamps and equalizers for room microphones, and the final mobile rack facilitates standalone cassette recording without computer intervention.
The installation highlights how specific console architecture can drive broader system design and outboard gear utilization in professional environments. By leveraging onboard conversion and flexible routing, the setup allows simultaneous access to raw digital captures and processed analog signals. This configuration aims to reduce workflow friction for producers seeking rapid experimentation with vintage and modern processing chains within a fixed infrastructure, ensuring that creative ideas can be tested instantly without technical barriers slowing down the production process significantly.
