The Circle of Confusion also considers the resulting recording and the playback equipment/speakers and how those feedback into influencing recording engineer decisions, but I'm focusing on the studio monitors (again, pointing out that many recording/mastering studios use B&W speakers as monitors). Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) high-quality audio products are loved by millions worldwide, and are found in some of the worlds leading recording studios. Since loudspeakers can be mediocre in an infinite number of ways, this practice only guarantees that quality of the recording will be compromised when heard through good loudspeakers." Some misguided recording engineers monitor and tweak their recordings through low-fidelity loudspeakers thinking that this represents what the average consumer will hear. The most likely culprits are the loudspeakers and rooms through which the recording were made. The magnitude of these differences suggests that something other than variations in artistic judgment and good taste is at the root cause of this problem. Apart from audible differences in dynamic range, spatial imagery, and noise and distortion, the spectral balance of recordings can vary dramatically in terms of their brightness and particularly, the quality and quantity of bass. "A random sampling of ones own music library will quickly confirm the variation in sound quality that exists among different music recordings.
As much as I hate quoting blogs, this is what Sean Olive wrote specifically related to loudspeakers in recording studios: As well as maintaining the cabinet’s weather-tight seal, the ABR gives the AM-1 truly remarkable bass response for a speaker of its kind.Richard, I don't think that's the common interpretation of the Circle of Confusion, if that's what you're referring to. Instead of the Flowport™ found in our traditional speakers, AM-1’s cabinet integrates a rear-mounted auxiliary bass radiator (ABR). With AM-1, Bowers & Wilkins has come up with an ingenious solution to the problem of producing powerful bass from a weatherproof speaker. Combine this with minimal wall projection and a design that allows the speaker to be angled through 220 degrees, and you have a discreet, versatile monitor that can provide you with pristine sound almost anywhere. The speaker combines tried and trusted technologies with new innovations – like an inverted driver array for optimum sound dispersion when the speaker is mounted high on a wall, and an advanced bass radiator design that maximizes low-frequency performance while keeping the speaker sealed from the elements.ĪM-1 has been carefully designed to be easy to install, and its elegant cast aluminum wall bracket incorporates an ingenious one-plug mounting system. AM-1 takes everything we know about high-performance audio and adapts it to meet the demands of a versatile, all-weather monitor.
