Nicolas Perego « No regrets! »
Published on 09/21/11 at 05:29When I opened my studio pro five years ago I chose to invest in new speakers to have more loyalty than my good old HR824. I listened in the store a dozen pairs, and I was quickly seduced Twin6 Be. They are connected with me the output of a Presonus Central Station, converters SSL Alphalink SX in a room acoustically treated.
Power is more than enough, I did not even feel the need to add a sub (it's a studio, not a nightclub eh p)
SOUNDS
rendering is very very good, so detailed that it can be surprising at first, especially in the treble. There is a small run-time, but nothing too serious. It is easy to isolate any are in his head because no part of the spectrum do not "drool", especially in severe and low-mids, very strong and clear, often where other monitors can fish. The dynamics is fully transcribed, the settings of treatment type compressor / gate / limiter / etc are much easier.
Story to show their almost perfect transcript: an artist was resting on the couch with closed eyes in the control room while friend was in the cabin are voice (U87 + UA610). He spoke through the talkback that I kept on, and the other answered, so by Twin6 Be. Only after 5 minutes of discussion, opening his eyes, he realized that his friend was not in the same room as him ... General laughter followed by a quick purchase Solo6 for them!
OVERALL OPINION
After five years of daily use in conditions pro, I would do the same choice. It's simple, Twin6 Be are part of some hardware component that has changed my work completely. It was after several months of work on it as I could for the first time being on the proceedings of a mixing or mastering without being tempted to listen to elsewhere (car, house, etc.), and it is always the today.
Unlike other reviews, I have not had any problem locating or setting (but my room is treated and studied geometry).
I see no weakness in these monitors, even the price (certainly not cheap, but we're talking about serious hardware there) seems correct.
I would also like to point out (because it is extremely important if you are a professional) the excellent customer service to Focal, who have repaired and returned three days a speaker who had a small problem (after 5 years, resistance to change ), let me pay for the labor or the cost of return, all that out of warranty. AAA rating seems like a trader!
