Monitoring |
Studio loudspeakers are called monitors. This chapter opens Part II for good reason – an accurate monitoring environment is an absolute mixing requisite, and should be high up in budget planning for every studio, whether home or professional. The main conclusion of this chapter is worth revealing already – the monitors alone do not dictate the overall quality of the monitoring environment; it is the monitors, their position, the listener's position and the acoustic properties of the room that dictate the overall performance of the monitoring environment. Having great monitors badly positioned in a problematic room is like having a Ferrari that only goes up to second gear.
