Since the company was founded, a versatile and innovative network of experts has been built around the CORDIAL professional center, which is steadily growing. This means a huge repertoire of know-how around topics such as cables, technology and music. It is important to us to let our customers and interested parties participate in this rich treasure of knowledge - and to facilitate a mutual exchange of experience. Be it through videos, webinars, interviews or even interactive discussions: opinions are important to us, we want to participate. Just as it should be in a good family - and especially the CORDIAL Family. Let's talk - just CORDIAL FAMILY TALK.

Patchbay - old but gold
Jeremy Lentner from the Austrian hard rock band MIDRIFF wants to be particularly flexible in his studio: from the vocal booth to the preamp or the other way round, taking another turn just before the interface. No problem: He has rewired his entire studio and now everything runs via a patchbay.
Setting up and dismantling drums, especially on stage, is incredibly time-consuming - especially if there is no riser or space is limited. Max from OX! has come up with a super-fast solution for this: miking, cabling and the whole setup on one rack, saving time and space.
Ronja Maltzahn about the Lockdown (DE)
Lockdown - actually the worst case for musicians. Cordial friend Ronja Maltzahn doesn't let times of crisis get in the way of her positive attitude; after all, she is a musical and organizational all-rounder. Her planned "living room or garden concerts" are a special point, which she pursues with enthusiasm. She also talks about the possibilities of state aid for artists in crisis or about crazy situations in the context of her current CD production. And one always senses when she tells: "just don't bury your head in the sand, it'll work out".
