Our Story

Built by Hand.
Driven by Sound.

Solid Surrounds was born from a simple belief: the space where you create music should feel as intentional as the music itself.

Every surround is handcrafted from premium hardwoods — shaped, sanded, and finished to transform your SSL or AVID controller into a centerpiece of your studio. No templates. No assembly lines. Just one craftsman, one client, one custom build at a time.

Based in Maryland, we serve producers, engineers, and studios worldwide who refuse to settle for plastic and particleboard.

— The Solid Surrounds Team
The Difference

Craftsmanship in Every Detail

◆

Custom Fit

Every surround is measured and built specifically for your workspace — your desk, your controller, your layout. 4-bay, 3-bay, 2-bay, or single configurations.

◆

Premium Hardwoods

Oak, Walnut, Maple, Cherry, and Mahogany — sourced from the finest suppliers. Additional exotic woods available on request.

◆

Leather Wrist Rests

100% genuine high-quality leather wrist rests come standard with every build, designed for hours of comfortable mixing sessions.
