High Seas Studios gets the right result with PMC
A pair of PMC monitors have become the main monitoring solution at High Seas Studio, a private recording facility located in Johannesburg. Realising they needed to upgrade their monitoring setup, studio owners Jacques Du Plessis and Gavin Flack already had the British manufacturer in mind as a preferred choice. Local distributor Benjamin Pro Audio gave the studio a pair of PMC 225s to test, before the owners eventually settled on a pair of PMC result6 compact nearfield monitors.
‘We were looking to up our speaker game and had our eye on PMCs for a while,’ explained Du Plessis. 'Jacob Van der Westhuizen, from Benjamin Pro Audio, give us a pair of 225s to test and we were blown away but the price of these was out of our budget range. Then PMC launched the result6 compact nearfield monitors, which came highly recommended by Jacob, so we decided to buy a pair.'
The new result6s sit at the centre of a recording setup that also includes an Antelope Audio Orion Studio AD card and an Audient ASP880 8-channel mic preamp. There are also various pieces of outboard equipment including Warm Audio products, API 550 EQ plug-ins, a Universal Audio LA610 mic pre and 500 Series compressors.
‘We couldn’t be happier,’ Du Plessis added. ‘We’ve always loved the sound of any PMCs and these were within our price range. They have a wide sweet spot, which was appealing and they have drastically sped up my mixing process.’
