NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS POST Thanks in part to the authenticity of a pair of Neumann Solution-D digital microphones, and a Neumann Anniversary Edition M 149 tube condenser, mixer John Kurlander helmed a minimalist recording of Marco Beltrami’s wiry Oscar-nominated score for 3:10 to Yuma. ADAM AUDIO A5, Sub7 Powered Monitors There’s no science for the perfect mix, but there is an ART – the renowned Accelerated Ribbon Technology folded tweeter in these compact monitors. Based on the A7, the A5 project studio monitors can be used in stereo or to fill a 5.1 surround system, and they exhibit the renowned ADAM accuracy down to 55Hz from just a 5-inch carbon fiber and Rohacell sandwich woofer powered by onboard 2x25W amplification. Connectors include balanced XLR, unbalanced RCA and Stereolink, which connects speakers’ input/output jacks to allow overall volume control from one speaker’s gain. Accompanying the set is the Sub7, which extends the response down to 30Hz, includes similar inputs but comes with a wireless remote for volume/crossover adjustment. PRICE: $699 - $769 a pair (A5), $479 - $529 (Sub7). CONTACT: ADAM Audio | ➲ www.adam-audio.com. The owner/operator of an Italian post-production facility that specializes in early music, Stefano Albarello uses a Lucid 88192 AD/DA converter, a Lucid GENx192 ultra-low jitter studio master clock, and a Lucid DA9624 DA converter – among other gear from AKG, Alesis, RME and more – for faithful, unhyped captures or early instrumentation. Were Pete Townshend writing this blurb, he might ask, “Who are Eu, Eu, Eu, Eu, Euphonix users.” And the answer would include awardwinning film composers such as Chris Beck, James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer, who have all installed Euphonix System 5 digital mixing studios, featuring DSP Supercore. Senior sound editor for Gemstar TV Guide network, Justin Rice juggles audio post-production, copious voiceover work and in-house composing/Foley. And helping bridge many different timbres is the very musical sounding, multi-hued ADesigns Pacifica dual-channel, solid-state mic preamp. Using a hybrid Pro Tools/Tonelux analog system, engineer Ted White mixed an entire HD performance from Colorado-based five-piece OneRepublic to take advantage of modular dynamics processing and warmth. The Zaxcom Deva 24-bit multidisc multiformat location recorder, recently upgraded, was used on three out of five films (3:10 to Yuma, No Country for Old Men, Transformers) nominated for sound mixing at the Academy Awards.
