Welcome Welcome to Monitors 2009, an overview of the professional studio monitor market for the production professional. Now updated and refreshed, this guide is a collection of promotional articles looking at nine of the world’s leading monitor manufacturers and their product ranges. Inside you’ll find the stories behind the drivers – the ethos’ and design ethics that go into producing the one component in your studio that actually brings sound out from the boxes and widgets, and into the air – and details of the products themselves. Monitoring provokes much debate, much passion, and possibly more subjective wrangling than any other node in the signal chain. Whether it’s the box, the magnetics, the materials, the electronics, or the room that makes the difference, the term ‘reference’ is never used lightly amongst those who rely on hi-fidelity, accurate and natural voicing, spot-on transients, and a little ‘something’ extra. That something makes the difference between just another monitor, and a reference that many pros remain loyal to and rely upon for entire careers. Hopefully this guide will provide a good foundation for your monitor buying homework during 2009, and push back the boundaries of your considerations. To complement the profiles, we’ve included three articles from respected names which should prove interesting, useful, and even thoughtprovoking. And to finish off, there’s a big directory studio monitor manufacturers to further augment your options.
