London, UK — Forty years ago, on a Saturday in London,
Roger Quested was commissioned to refurbish and optimise the studio environment of composer Hans Zimmer at Lillie Yard Studio.For over 40 years, Quested has stood for precision and trust in professional monitoring.
The project focused on improving monitoring accuracy and acousticreliability within the space — ensuring that critical listening and production decisions could be made with confidence. At the time, Zimmer was in the early stages of what would become one of the most influential careers in film scoring.
Quested's approach combined technical precision with a deep understanding of real-world studio demands. The resulting environment provided a reliable reference point for composition, recording and mixing — a foundation that would support decades of creative output.
Over the years, Hans Zimmer has gone on to score some of the most recognised films in modern cinema, with his work shaping the sound of contemporary storytelling.
This early collaboration reflects a long-standing principle at Quested:to create monitoring systems and environments that professionals can depend on — where accuracy, translation and trust are paramount.
Today, that same commitment continues across Quested's global presence in professional studios, production facilities and private listening spaces.
