The Mastermax Studio located in Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa, also known as MMX Studios, was recently used for the recording of the opening ceremony music for the 2010 World Cup.
ADAM Audio monitors were the reference monitors of choice of Co-Executive Producer and composer Mr. Lebo M, arranger Themba Mkhize and Orchestrator Peter McLea.
Asked about ADAM Audio monitors, Johan van der Colff from MMX Studios said, “Since buying our first pair of ADAMs in 2006, we have never looked back.”
“The tonal balance and imaging on the ADAM monitors is outstanding and I just fell in love with the natural sound of the ribbon tweeters and the fact that ADAM does not use digital processing in the monitors to make up for imperfections in the design.”
“I have also enjoyed the smooth true representation the monitors give at both low and high SPL levels,” said van deer Colff.
“One of the best ways to test a mix and the accuracy of the monitors is to use them in different locations and on different systems.”
“We have found, since we started using the ADAM monitors, that our mixes have been much more accurate, and even without mastering the mixes sounded extremely good on normal consumer audio systems.
“Currently we have a full surround ADAM Audio setup consisting of P33a’s, A7’s and a Sub 8, and we have used it on a few of the multi platinum selling DVDs that has been mixed here.”
“Recently, we added the new S3X-H. We are also in the planning stages for a large format final mixing studio for film post and are considering the new S7A Mk 2’s as our main surround monitor set for this studio.”
