The Digidesign RM2 is a professional, bi-amplified, near-field monitor speaker that offers incredible sound accuracy. The RM2 features a 6.7-inch low frequency driver, a smaller footprint than the competition that doesn’t compromise power or sound quality, and is ideal for recording studios, mixing suites, post-production facilities, broadcast installations, and other rooms that require a higher sound pressure level and even lower bass extension.

Co-developed with PMC (the Professional Monitor Company), the Digidesign Reference Monitor Series unites Digidesign’s deep expertise in digital audio with PMC’s legacy of fine, handcrafted, cutting-edge design and meticulous manufacturing. Together, Digidesign and PMC have created specially engineered monitors that employ PMC’s groundbreaking Advanced Transmission Line (ATLTM) technology and deliver unrivaled tonal accuracy, low distortion, accurate bass response, stunning clarity, and incredible dynamic range.

Because of ATL technology, the RM2 reference monitors can deliver higher volumes and lower bass extension than other speakers of similar sizes-even if identical or larger drivers are used. The frequency response also remains consistent regardless of how high or low listeners adjust the volume, meaning they won’t need to crank the monitors to achieve maximum bass response. The Digidesign RM2 is also designed for a wide sound dispersion, so listeners will get accurate frequency response even when they’re listening in an off-axis position.

Studio Considerations

The magic of the recording studio has often mystified even the most seasoned professionals. With all the knobs, switches and buttons on various gear and large format consoles, no wonder confusion sets in to most non-techies. Many people, especially artists, composers, producers, and engineers, will end up putting together their own studio for writing and pre-production, with some eventually deciding to take the plunge and create a full-fledged recording complex that is capable of recording major albums. This article will try to shed some light on the considerations to take into account when making a studio, be it a small home studio or a professional recording studio.

Is size important? Some may say it is so but this is not always the case. The dimensions of the studio are very important. A room too large may become over-reverberant or full of unwanted echoes. A room too small may sound tight and unnatural. It is important that the room size and room sound is relevant to the type of music you are recording. You don’t want to go into a very small tight room to record BIG rock drums. Although, big room sounds can be achieved by adding external reverb effects to simulate rooms at a later time when necessary.

It is best to find the room that suits the sound you are trying to achieve from the beginning of the recording process. The smaller the room, the Continue Reading...
