Chosen By Ear - Free Guide to Monitor Evaluation

View this email online   Free Guide to Monitor Evaluation   We are proud to announce the release of 'Choosing by Ear - Practical Loudspeaker and Monitor Systems Evaluation'. We commissioned talented media professional, writer and editor, Paul Mac, to provide this practical guide to monitor selection by ear.   Inspired by the fact that monitor selection by blindfold listening tests is increasingly common among audio professionals, and that our Air and BM series are selected this way again and again by leading film, broadcast and recording studios, we asked Paul Mac to provide both an overview of current professional practice and a practical guide to choosing by ear for aspiring professionals.    Fred Speckeen, Global Business Manager at Dynaudio Professional     "Monitors must be the most overhyped and least understood part of the audio chain," says our Global Business Manager, Fred Speckeen. "Paul Mac brings together his own extensive experience and the seminal AES20 standard to this paper, providing a practical approach to selecting monitors via critical listening. Inspired by the fact that monitor selection by systematic blindfold tests is increasingly common at the highest levels of the pro audio industry, we would like to encourage everybody to choose monitors by ear, not just major recording studios and post production houses.”  Paul Mac About The Author After studying acoustics and audio electronics, Paul Mac worked as a theatre-sound operator and engineer, music and post production technical support engineer, sound editor, programmer, and lecturer before accepting the post of Technical Editor on The Mix magazine.He went on to be Editor of Audio Media magazine for nearly 15 years and has served on the BAFTA games juries for game audio and game music, and the Conch post production awards committee and jury.   Paul is now the Editor of the Audio Production Network, an online magazine covering the “practice, technology, and business of creative audio production.   View this email online
