If they're AML-1s, we make the cabs for those too. Just did a batch of 50 yesterday. I'd heard they get good reviews. Quite a nifty little design. Happy trails.0 -
Ah, see I'm a massive diehard fan of Genelecs. I love that crisp top end, same goes for B&Ws at home.thekickingmule wrote:yeehaa I'm not a fan of Genelec, we have some mahoosive ones in one of our studios and we use the (in comparison) tiny PMC's that are meant to be the alternative monitors We also have some 8030's and 8040's set up for surround, still not a fan though.
PMC's are also nice, but man I love those genelecs.
Our newest post studio has two 8050s, with a 7070A sub. Tasty stuff!
The BIG ATCs in the main studio are also nice though

No I work as a consultant in the dark art of digital forensics which is the acquisition, investigation and extraction of evidence from digital equipment. (Servers/PCs/MP3 players/Cell Phones/Portable Media/CCTV systems/PVRs/IDS and so forth)
I have consulted to and worked with in excess of 30 of the 43 constabularies within the UK.
It's a living I don't have to kill myself to make...
that does sound like an awsome job :-)
But I wouldn't like to see some of the stuff you've probably come across.
fair point, i didn't think of it like that :shock:0 -
Self-employed dog walker which leaves me a little spare time to 1) do some running 2) do some road biking and 3) do some mountain biking - but not all at the same time!! 0

- one of those jobs that sounds infinitely more glamorous than it is..
had a glorious ten year plan to be mortgage free and go gallavanting across the manky bits of the globe from rig > pipeline > refinery. just turning up on monday to find the company hasn't gone bust is a victory now though
i remember over-time: those were the days0 -
The mahoosive ones are the 1037's, They have nice top and low end, but we find that the mid section is just lost or muffled. I love how peoples ears hear different things, it's fascinating.yeehaamcgee wrote:

The subs we have are 7060's, I have to say, they do there job brilliantly 8)
IcarusGreen It's nice that I can finally have a geeky conversation with someone about my area of work. It's probably like when you read about army stuff, some of it makes no sense to me It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

Hmm, I've never listened to the really really big Genelecs, but the mid on our 8050s, and 1039s is clear as a bell. I find the high-mid to extreme high end on the ATCs a bit soft, but easy to work with.thekickingmule wrote:The mahoosive ones are the 1037's, They have nice top and low end, but we find that the mid section is just lost or muffled.

Not a fan of ATC SCM20s at all in our second studio though. I'd almost prefer NS10s :shock: Flabby, no definition, not crispness.
If monitors are a sound engineer's microscope, then these buggers need their lenses replacing.0 -

what the hell is with I.T people?
It for a "broadcaster", I.T. for a "Major retailer"?
Who exactly is the Major Retailer, or Broadcaster?
That's quite apart from the fact that I.T. can mean virtually anything, from swappipng out broken mice, to managing buildings full of servers, to web design, to proprietary programming.

Not tried the ATC's at all, so can't really comment, though I have heard good things about them. NS10's though... really!? SCM20's are that bad!?yeehaamcgee wrote:If monitors are a sound engineer's microscope, then these buggers need their lenses replacing.

yep, SCM 20s are horrible. It's certainly not the amp driving them, it is simply stunning when paired with the right monitors.
I hate NS10s with a passion, but they really are better to work with than SCM20s. Actually, I lie there, I love NS10s, when used as a kick mic
One of the funny things about monitors is how live sound, broadcast, and music studio monitors all sound differently. I just cannot get on with monitors intended for broadcast at all. We demoed a pair of Dynaudio BM6As, and they were bloody horrendous. Really woolly, no definition, and sloppy - but they're actually very highly regarded in broadcast circles, oddly :shock:0 -

Not everyone wants to put their employer on a public forum... Although I agree that I.T. is a lame description of your job, probably means they do 1st line supportyeehaamcgee wrote:what the hell is with I.T people?
