— Genelec 1034B’s and 7073A
sub will be the standard stereo reference for Studio 1,
while Genelec 1031A’s with 7070A sub will provide
5.1 surround monitoring —
NAMM WINTER SESSION, ANAHEIM, CA, January 15, 2004
— Acclaimed engineer/producer Gustavo Celis has purchased
two complete Genelec monitoring systems for the expansion
of his Miami recording facility, Supersonic Studios. The
new expansion, which was designed by the Toronto-based firm
of Pilchner Schoustal International Inc., will double Supersonic’s
size to four studios. Studio 1 will employ Genelecs as its
main monitoring systems for both conventional stereo, using
a pair of 1034B’s and a 7073A sub, as well as 5.1
surround playbacks, which will utilize five Genelec 1031A’s
with a Genelec 7070A sub. This combination of Genelecs will
provide seamless, consistent monitoring in both domains.
“Nothing else sounds like a Genelec,”
enthuses Celis, who has won three GRAMMY® awards, and
received critical acclaim for his recording work on the
musical numbers for the film Chicago. “I wanted to
choose the best monitoring possible for this new studio,
and based on my experience with Genelec, there was no other
choice.”
Studio 1, one of two new rooms at Supersonic,
will come on line in February 2004, after two years of planning
and construction. Like the second studio, slated to open
later in the year, it will be a hybrid design, offering
a large assortment of vintage and classic contemporary signal
processing equipment, such as the Universal Audio LA2A compressor,
Neve 1073 mic pre, and Lexicon 960L digital reverb, complemented
by a large Digidesign Pro Tools|HD® hard disk recording
system. This elite technology will be housed in an aesthetically
striking, modern interior design with a perforated metal
motif. Celis has experienced the renowned performance of
Genelec monitors before: his original studio still relies
on Genelec 1032A monitors and a 1092A sub. When the newest
studio comes on line later in the year, he anticipates that
it will also be fitted with a Genelec monitoring system.
“I’m not surprised that Gustavo
chose the Genelec monitors for his new studio,” comments
Jim McCormick, President of Magic Audio, the Orlando, FL
dealer that made the sale. “We sell a lot of Genelecs
throughout the region and especially in South Florida. They’ve
become the common denominator for monitoring in the area,
and they’re the speaker by which all others are judged.”
“That’s another advantage that
Genelec monitors give me,” says Celis, whose work
can be heard on both the Spanish and English versions of
singer Ricky Martin’s latest album. “They’re
the reference speaker used by many artists, producers, and
engineers. So they create a consistent monitoring environment
that is community-wide. Very few products in pro audio have
ever achieved that.”
