More important even then the gear in the racks is the room in which we are listening. The most important tool, beyond ears, is the room surrounding and delivering the sound to us from the speakers. It is essential to have a tuned room in order to deliver a clear, true picture of the frequencies present. This is necessary for us to make good deciscions and make any necessary changes to a precise standard. Our listening environment was built to such a standard, and tuned by renowned acoustician Bob Hodas.
