NATICK,
MA, November 10, 2009 — The SE™
(Small Environments) DSP Monitoring System from Genelec,
the world leader in Active Monitoring technology, is designed to solve
many of the acoustic problems associated with small recording and
mixing environments. And that’s just what it’s done for
Mixology, the personal
studio of Jeff Largent, a Boston-area audio post professional and
an instructor at the famous Berklee College of Music. Largent needed
a compact but highly accurate monitoring system for his studio, and
Genelec’s SE DSP Monitoring System was the perfect solution.
The system offers Genelec’s outstanding performance in a high-quality,
affordable and easy-to-use package that is ideal for near field monitoring,
mobile/location recording, digital audio workstations, broadcast and
TV control rooms, surround sound systems, home studios and multimedia
applications.
“The
AutoCal™ feature makes all the difference in the world,”
says Largent, who was a member of the first graduating class of Berklee’s
Music Production and Engineering department in 1984. Since then, Largent
has worked as a sound designer, sound supervisor and re-mix engineer
for feature films and television series, including Beakman’s
World, Braveheart and The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., as well
as various music projects and specialty 5.1 and 7.1 mixing projects,
including a 4-D theater installation at Washington D.C.’s Newseum.
“I had bought my first set of Genelec 1030s fifteen years ago,
so I’ve been a long-time Genelec fan. But to make sure the monitoring
would be extremely precise at Mixology” – which is in
a converted living space – “I needed what Genelec’s
AutoCal could give me.”
The SE DSP
Monitoring System features Genelec’s proprietary AutoCal GLM.SE™
(Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) software, which provides the familiar
graphic interface to help speed users through system setup and complete
acoustic calibration. As Largent notes, using the software he was
able not only to create an incredibly accurate multichannel monitoring
environment, but also to save as much as $20,000 in acoustical treatment
costs for his mixing space. “Without the SE DSP system, the
studio would have required bass traps running along the length of
the basement and other treatments for various dips and spikes in the
room,” he explains. “AutoCal took care of all of that,
and it came with a great-sounding set of speakers. When I send a mix
to the dub stage, I never get that dreaded call about translation
problems. All the mixes translate accurately. The SE DSP Monitoring
System is the perfect solution for small mixing spaces like this.”
Genelec’s
SE DSP Monitoring System combines the SE7261A 10-inch DSP subwoofer
with 8130A digital input active monitors (5-inch bass drivers and
3/4-inch tweeters), for easy configuration as a sub-assisted stereo
or multi-channel reference system. Software control is reassuringly
simple with the SE7261A DSP subwoofer providing all necessary network
connections to the host computer and supplying extensive DSP resources
through its high-pass AES digital outputs to the 8130A’s. Like
all Genelec DSP systems, the new SE System is designed to adapt to
the user’s listening environment accurately and quickly.
