APPENDIX – CALIBRATED LISTENING

EN
Some engineers apply “squeeze-box tactics” because
of the popular wisdom that this will produce the loudest
result. The red line in the right-hand illustration shows
how material with a low dynamic range ends up loud
when level control is based on peak level measuring
(as it used to be). Now with loudness detection
principles moving into consumer electronics (iTunes,
Dolby etc.) and broadcast, the loudness advantage of
“squeezed” is disappearing – leaving only distortion
and a wimpy sound.
Calibrated monitoring with BMC-2, on the other hand,
ensures consistent listening conditions enabling you to
always deliver reliable results in the studio - no matter
what the target format and audience.
