Studio Air Odéon, Brussels - Belgium Veteran sound engineer Michael W. Huon is one of the early adopters of the Optimizer, which he discovered at the AES Barcelona back in 2005. He offers the right place for high quality acoustic music, well served by the state-of-the art acoustic design of its 150m3 control room which features an Euphonix 5MC control surface over a Nuendo system, the Weiss mastering suite and Benchmark DA converters, as well as a Crookwood analog volume control. A pair of PMC AML1 plus two 18" subwoofers are used as midfields, while the custom main monitors are based on Dynaudio drivers. "The great confidence that I now have in my monitors allows me to work in a more straightforward way, and the whole process is much faster as I don't need to double check in other rooms. Artists and producers are directly satisfied with the results." notes Mr Huon. Installation and fine-tuning by our distributor for Belgium: PureTec - Frédéric Vard.
