Bob Katz is nothing short of a living pro audio legend, having mastered 3 Grammy-winning albums and authored the book 'Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science', which is widely accepted as one of the milestones on the subject. Sound on Sound Magazine even referred to it as ‘the definitive work on mastering’.
Yes, Bob Katz knows about audio – and he also knows that when he hears something out of the ordinary, he just has to get it.
That was what happened at AES 2016 in Los Angeles when Bob stepped into our demo and listening room, showcasing the new mastering speakers Evidence M5P. And before the show was over, he had made sure that the speakers’ next destination would not be Denmark, but his studio in Florida.
Bob has quite a following on Facebook and decided to live-stream the entire process of installing his new speakers in Studio A. He also posted comments on his findings along the way, and answered a lot of incoming questions from audio fans all over the world.
And within this mix of live video streams, posts, comments, questions and answers there are so many great observations and so much shared knowledge that we simply had to gather and summarize every step from delivery to final installation.

The Evidence M5P speakers are amazing in many ways, but portability is not one of its main features.
The stereo pair is delivered in three separate cradles – one for each speaker as well as one for the two speaker bases – and a lifter is absolutely mandatory to deliver the boxes.
