Sonic Wax Cutting

Neumann VMS66 cutting lathe at Sonic Wax

Lacquer Mastering & Cutting

We cut lacquers in-house on a Neumann VMS66, one of the classic cutting lathes. Because we do the cutting ourselves, your record stays with us from the master tape through to the finished pressing. That means fewer handovers and tighter control over how it sounds.

What we offer

  • Lacquer cutting for 7", 12" and LP
  • Cutting for our Sonic Wax Pressing jobs, and for other plants and labels
  • Test cuts and sign-off before we go to plating
