Genelec

I wish to do some surround mixing in my home studio. I already have stereo monitors... Can I just add three more of the same speaker?

Our dedicated team produces Sound On Sound magazine and website each month for you, our fabulous Readers, so help shape the future of what we do by completing this survey.

We cut through the hype to show you what really matters in speaker specifications.

Monitors are better than they've ever been — but they're still the weakest link in most studios. We trace the technology from its roots in the 1930s, and find out whether there's a DSP revolution on the way.

Genelec's latest monitor is a flexible beast, designed for the large multi-speaker setups that are needed in VR and immersive audio. But does this versatility come at the expense of its usefulness for conventional music mixing?

Why do so many monitor manufacturers persevere with reflex-loaded active monitors? 

An incorrectly set up or unsuitable design of subwoofer can seriously compromise the accuracy of your monitoring environment. We outline the performance characteristics of the different types and show you how to incorporate a sub for optimum effect within your system.
