Equipment: Monitoring
JBL & ADAM main monitors, fed by a DAC-1 D/A Converter. They're loud & accurate. We also have additional Hi-Fi & Lo-fi speaker sets permanently setup for testing mixes.
Additionally every band member can listen to their own, independent monitor mix as they record live or overdub, through either their own wedge monitor or industry standard Beyer-Dynamic Headphones.
