Upon request of a team of top class sound engineers, Grimm Audio developed a special version of their acclaimed reference monitor system LS1 for the studio of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
By reducing the height of the integrated stands, a surround set of five LS1's could be placed in the relatively small but very well designed control room. Due to its special form factor, the LS1 can easily be placed close to a wall without the sound coloration associated with such placement when using traditional speakers, the company says.
According to the press release, the result exceeds the highest expectations for sound quality in small rooms. The photo shows Polyhymnia engineers at work in the Concertgebouw studio, monitoring their work with Grimm Audio LS1s. Polyhymnia's Grammy winning producer Everett Porter commented: ”We auditioned many different speakers for our Concertgebouw studio, and never found any we were really happy with. The Grimm Audio LS1's came in for a test, and we wouldn't let them leave! Detailed, transparent, dynamic, clean… Everything we were looking for. They're used for all of our Concertgebouw SA-CD and Blu-ray productions, as well as hundreds of live radio and TV broadcasts per year.”
For those who do not know about Grimm Audio, it is a manufacturer of high and audio equipment for the consumer and professional audio markets. These include the LS1, a highly integrated playback system for home and studio use, the CC1 Master clock/Re-clocking device, AD1 DSD Converter, TPR and TPM High End cable products and an array of Loudness Software products, among many others.
A detailed review on the LS1 can be found here, unfortunately only in Greek language.
