UPSTATE NEW YORK’S REVAMPED
CLUBHOUSE JOINS THE GENELEC CLUB

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

— Genelec 1031A speakers and 1094A sub create a 5.1 surround monitoring array, which is rapidly becoming the reference standard throughout the music recording industry —

111th AES CONVENTION, NEW YORK, NY, November 30, 2001 — As part of its expansive new two-studio facility in Rhinebeck, NY, Clubhouse has purchased and installed an all-Genelec 5.1 surround monitoring array, consisting of five Genelec 1031A Active Monitors, and a Genelec 1094A subwoofer. This array provides Clubhouse with monitoring accuracy, as they join the growing community of studios that now consider Genelec the standard reference monitor of the business.

Clubhouse, founded by studio President Paul Antonell 15 years ago, was moved from its original Germantown, NY location to a brand new, ground-up facility in historic Rhinebeck, where construction was completed last August. The facility offers a 31' X 29' tracking space with three large isolation booths, and a 23' X 21' control room. The facility design was created by Antonell and engineer/producer John Holbrook. Clubhouse is noted for its dedication to vintage analog gear, including its Neve-Studer console/tape deck combination, as well as a large collection of classic guitar microphones and amplifiers.

“When you have equipment that’s this good, you want to be able to monitor it as accurately as possible,” explains Antonell. “Beyond that, the Genelec speakers have become the reference standard for much of the industry in this region. Having the Genelecs gives us compatibility with most of the major facilities throughout New York and the rest of the country. Genelec is what producers and engineers seem to want, and considering the way they sound, I’m happy to provide them.”

Genelec, the pioneer in Active Monitoring technology, was founded in 1978 and has concentrated its efforts and resources into the design and manufacturing of active monitoring loudspeakers with unparalleled sonic accuracy. Genelec has been credited with promoting the concept of active monitors, a trend in technology that some manufacturers are just now incorporating into their products. Genelec has a complete line of active main, mid-field, and near-field monitors for application in the post-production, project studio, broadcast, TV and CD mastering markets.
