    New 800D speakers at Abbey Road

    A very short story from auodiophilia with a nice picture of the studio with 3 800DI speakers in front of the mixing panel...

    "state of the art analogue console"

    Thats very interesting at a time when folks say there are now so few analogue studios out there. It makes perfect sense. Any ordinary Joe can buy an inexpensive DA / AD converter and record with a Mac in his toilet or in his back paddock (ie pretty much anywhere). How is a studio going to keep the punters coming back for more if they don't offer a sufficiently different service. Solution = analogue.

    I went to have a squiz at Abbey Rd while I was in London last year, but of course they don't let you inside unless you are a paying customer with a record to cut.

    I loved watching a local tradie goin' off at a group of young tourists standing at The Crossing He was legally obliged to stop but they refused to cross until it was clear of traffic so they could take their Beatles photo. (I took great pleasure in J walking just to be different)

      Interesting picture, the 3 speakers seem to be placed so close to the walls as to be almost touching them. I thought the rule of thumb to getting the most of the speakers was to position them away from any walls, i.e back and side??

        Guess that depends on the material on the walls. That appears to be the dead end of the room with absorbing materials and large bass traps in the corners, although there is a door there also.
