Duophonic GmbH (Label)

Disc mastering and cutting studio and vinyl pressing plant in Augsburg (Germany), owned by Moritz Illner. Formerly known as Duophonic GbR, it turned into a GmbH on May 29th, 2015.

Originally only a studio, in 2022 a pressing plant was opened at the Industriepark Augsburg. In addition to cutting and pressing, the studio also masters digital audio formats and acts as a broker for manufacturing CDs (and vinyl records before 2022).

If "DUOPHONIC.DE" or "www.duophonic.de" appears in the CD mirror band or vinyl runouts this indicates the company acted as a broker.

If "duoYYXXXX" appears in the vinyl runouts, please credit with Lacquer Cut By - Duophonic GmbH + the Duophonic number (e.g. duo183452).
