Ocean Way Audio has introduced the Pro2A, a compact two-way near/midfield audio monitor that delivers sound quality expected from a much larger speaker system.
For most people who are not experts in studio acoustics, treating a new space for audio production in an office or home is difficult and complex. In many situations, novices confuse sound isolation and acoustic treatment. Putting a few acoustic panels on the wall will not create a good sounding studio.
Michael Carnes is a legend in the pro audio industry. As a long-time software developer and musician, he is responsible for the Lexicon 960L, the PCM96 and Lexicon plug-ins. In recent years, Carnes founded Exponential Audio, a leading company in digital reverb, best known for its R4, PhoenixVerb Surround and Symphony. When he built his reference audio system, Carnes chose Genelec audio monitors.
KRK Systems is now shipping the ROKIT G4, a new series of audio monitors which includes 5-, 7-, 8- and 10-inch models that have been completely re-designed for DSP processing.
Part one of this four-part series introduces immersive audio, the terminology used, the standards adopted, and the key principles that make it work.
At NAB, Genelec is demonstrating a selection of its Active Monitors in an immersive 7.1.4 Atmos configuration.
