Studio Monitoring Design

📖 The Scoop

The professional recording industry is expanding much faster than professional staff can be trained. At the same time the increased complexity of much of the equipment involved has led to greater specialisation of in-depth knowledge, but a more shallow understanding of the whole picture. A studio monitor system can be defined as a whole signal path from the output of the mixing console to the ear. It is a system which sits at the crossroads between the artistic, scientific, technical and human aspects of the recording process. Whether your path to the recording studio has come from a musical, technical or scientific route, Studio Monitoring Design explains, in a language that is accessible to everyone, the principles required to achieve a more practical and creative recording environment. The book, written by an international studio designer, takes you right through the general aims and objectives of studio monitoring designs and their technical and human limitations; to the individual components of the monitor chain and how those parts influence overall performance. The final chapter looks at the need for a variety of designs to cope with difficult physical circumstances and the inconsistencies of human perception.
