Luckily, we found several exhibitors who had chosen LYD monitors to demonstrate their magnificent gear. Below, you can read why they chose to use Dynaudio for the booths here at NAMM 2018.
The first booth we visited was Two Notes Engineering, a French effects pedal company. One of their top-selling products is a cabinet simulating pedal that makes it possible to get a great guitar or bass sound without playing through a cabinet.
While this solution is great for playing live if you use an in-ear system, it is obviously also very useful in the studio for tracking without having to put up microphones in front af a cabinet. Not to mention that you can actually track at home without disturbing your neighbours.
In fact, it correlates extremely well with the whole philosophy behind our LYD range, as they are designed to reproduce a super accurate mix even at low volumes. Combining the two, you could record your soaring guitar tracks in your home studio at a low volume and still get a killer result when you play back your song at loud volumes on other playback systems.
No wonder Two Notes Engineering chose to demonstrate their gear on LYD 48. Let's find out how this setup works for them at the NAMM show!
At the Two Notes booth we met with their CEO Guillaume Pille.
What LYD speakers do you use at the booth?
We use the LYD 48 3-way speakers.
How do they work out for you so far?
We need monitors that work great not only as a mixing tool, but also at a listening tool, and the LYD 48 covers both areas.
Was it easy to set up the monitors and get a great sound right from the start?
First off, we already know how these monitors sound and work, as we have them - together with a BM9S II sub - in our Two Notes studio back home. And I also use a pair of LYD 7 monitors in my personal studio, so setting up was easy. Just a matter of connecting the cables and we were good to go.
How did you set the Position, Sound Balance and Bass Extension switches on the rear panel?
The speakers are far enough from the wall to have the 'Free' setting, and other than that it is all set to default with normal Sound Balance and neutral Bass Extension settings.
What is your main news for the show?
Our most popular range, the Torpedo products, now comes with a new, updated firmware that allows our users to have two microphones on one cab, which is something there has been a lot of demand for among our user base. And actually, the firmware update is free for all existing users so everyone will be able to benefit from the new firmware version.
