Finally, the new listens have arrived

Genelec needs no introduction. They represent a guarantee in terms of quality and reliability. It is a brand used in all the best studios in the world.

Previously in my project studio, I used to use the Behringer Truth 3030A series. Behringer doesn't make beautiful things, but they really succeeded with these monitors (in reality, they are based on a KRK design). Let's just say that out of the entire Behringer series, I like the Truth monitors and the x32 digital mixer.

The Truths are a little "nasal" to tell the truth, but it's not an insurmountable defect if you can calibrate them properly.

The Genelecs are another story, needless to say... Much more detailed. They reveal differences even when changing the equalization of a track very slightly. Differences are noticed immediately. The weight is more or less the same. The tweeters are not ribbon tweeters, but they are also very delicate.

I had the pleasure of hearing them (not this model) at a friend's house, a joy for the ears.

P.s Is what we see in the photo your new finished recording studio?

Yes, it's the Mix room. 'Finished' is a big word. I still have to finish the room normalization. I'm doing it bit by bit because it takes time. The room isn't very large; at least I saved a little by avoiding placing monitors. If the room is small, you need to absorb [sound], but not too much so as not to distort the listening experience. I've run up a couple of small bills and I still have to spend a few hundred more euros before saying it's finished.
