Studio oprema vs High End

[Edvard]

[ambasador]

Studijska oprema ne pomeni enoznačne kakovosti. Ali, drugače povedano: ni vse kar je za studio iste kakovosti.
Tudi tu obstaja high end studijska oprema in shit studijska oprema - kot ekstrem. Pa še vse druge nianse vmes.

Torej, najboljša (pa naj se kliče high end) studijska oprema je v najboljših (high end) studijih, kjer denar ni problem.
V večini drugih studijev so bolj cenene studijske naprave. Slednje so navaden shit proti pravim hifi napravam, takim, ki jih avdiofili cenijo. Shit, ki je prilagojen za studijske povezave in ima določene funkcije potrebne za studijsko delo, in ki jih hifi ne potrebuje.
Tudi tu so izjeme, ki , če dobro delajo, stanejo manj kot ustrezen nivo hifi-ja.

Zgodba je ista kot v Hi-Fi -ju. Ker je studijska oprema draga, so jo naskočili 'brihtneži' ki so cenene čipe in preklopnike zapakirali pod oznako studio. Hiter zaslužek. Isto je v high endu polno 'brihtnežev' - dobro spoliraš 50 kil aluminija - in to je high end. Namenjeno oslom, ki poslušajo z denarnico in ne z ušesi. Prav je tako. Tako v high endu dobiš naprave ki res igrajo dobro - in beauty and the beast contest za tiste ki jim je slon prdnil v uho.

Tako ko so Knopflerja zasrali, ni za govoriti. Vsi bi na vso silo hoteli sebe preglasiti s pretirano glasnostjo, ki jo nobeden sploh ne rabi, še posebej za študijski repertoar. Pa kam to pelje, a nimajo ušes, madona. Kdo tem tepcem pravi profi.

Lab gruppen so samo ojačevalci in to je samo del vsega ozvočenja, drugo pa je dober zvok in Kino Šiška......malo morgen

Oprostite da negovorim slovenski jezik, samo malo hrvatski.

1. Maggies can be and are used in professional studios. For a mastering studio, where we want ideal reproduction, they work very well. We've tried many alternatives, PMC, ATC, Quested, B&W and prefer these. At some point it becomes a personal preference, as long as they let you do your work. These do, and are both honest, detailed and revealing. There are a few places in the UK and US that also use them, most notably Barry Diament: www.barrydiamentaudio.com. Last I spoke with him, he had upgraded to the new 3.7s. We may do the same at some point, but these are paid for and work quite well.

And as you can see, they are ruler flat

2. The studio has been constructed in an existing building from the late 1800's. So we have to work within the confines of the existing structure. It's not an office, but the top floor of the building. The acoustics are excellent, and were done by Thomas Jouanjean of Northward Acoustics: www.northwardacoustics.com. Thomas is a good friend and does excellent work. We were lucky enough to hire him before he became famous, lol. Check out Amsterdam Mastering for a ground-up complete build. He uses the exact same principles and techniques, but wasn't hampered by having to preserve the existing structure.

3. Don't be deceived by the picture. The construction uses a wide range of different techniques to ensure a flat and even response throughout the room, and the speakers are supposed to be close to the wall. The wall is designed to deal with the speaker's rear lobe (they are dipoles - meaning they produce the same sound wave from the rear, but in opposite polarity to the front) as well as provide support at certain frequencies. The wall is transparent at lower frequencies, the bass goes through and out the walls and stays out.

4. The speakers are flat down to 34Hz, we have a JL Audio Fathom sub taking care of the bottom end and .1 for 5.1. We've measured it's response down to 18Hz, which is more than respectable. All are time aligned at the listening position. It sounds *amazing*, regardless of what you might try and guess by looking at a picture.

5. I'm not sure what you wrote about the ceiling cloud, but it is indeed filled with a special type of insulation. Not rockwool . We have about 800kg of insulation in the room itself, not counting other special techniques and materials used by the acoustician that also help make the room sound as good as it does.

6. I've been doing this for over 10 years professionally. I'm very pleased with the room and how it sounds, and our work has never been better. Whatever anyone may think of our choice of speakers, it's simply our choice. You have to choose the tools that work best for you, not what other people think is "best". Having been in some of the top mastering rooms in Europe and the US, I'm pretty confident that we have a room at the upper end of the market. There are better rooms, f.x. at Sterling in NY, Metropolis in the UK, etc, but there are a whole lot of worse sounding ones. A friend of mine in NY works in a glass office cubicle (or did, he recently moved) that for anyone else would be insane, but the long row of gold and platinum records along the wall would indicate that it works fine for him!

7. Good coffee is hard to find here, it all tastes pretty horrible. So we pride ourselves on offering our customers something drinkable

8. Anyone in the area is more than welcome to come by and visit and have a listen. We're pretty proud of the way things sound and like to share our love of all things audio with anyone with the time to spare

Thanks for mentioning us, have a great day!
