REFERENCE
Opening in May, 2000 to the public.
Do you know the word “reference of sound”?
It is a essential factor to playback any soundsources.
When I compose a tune in recording studio,
I always use tons of materials,
which are designed for professional purpose.
AKAI S-3000XL/YAMAHA O2R/Solid State Logic/
LEXICON PCM-90/GENELEC large monitor/
AVALON/EMT/etc.
Cause, They are good for hard work definitely.
But I know, Almost all of the audience can't possess
such a expensive device.
The sound which you are hearing in your livingroom
must be different from that I expected to produce.
It is problem.
So.....
If you want to hear the same sound with me,
You should use a headphone named SONY MDR-Z900.
It is highly recommended.
In recording studio, wherever I go, I use it
for final sound check certainly.
It is seriously “reference of sound” for me.
I am sorry to say that, I don't like YAMAHA NS-10M,
even though which is standard in recording scene.
So, If you can't buy the GENELEC nearfield monitor,
Please take SONY MDR-Z900.
