DACS TO DISTRIBUTE PYRAMID MONITORS

Triple P Designs consumer systems reference monitors now available in the UK

 

DACS are pleased to announce that they are now distributing Pyramid Monitors, made by Triple P Designs in the US.  The creation of Paul Perret, an experienced post-production audio engineer, the Pyramids are designed to provide a reference of how a mix will sound on low fidelity playback systems such as televisions or radios.

 

Deciding he needed a single consistent reference for how his mixes would sound outside of the studio, and that his second set of speakers, Auratones, no longer provided such an accurate portrayal, Paul researched and listened to many different systems, regularly hearing his music and spots “on air”.   Over two years, trying out different speakers and enclosures, Paul came up with the Pyramid monitor. 

 

The distinctive acrylic enclosure is similar to the plastic casing found on most consumer televisions, which resonates quite differently to the solid wood enclosure of most studio monitors.  The Pyramids also feature an oval speaker, again found in most commercially available playback systems.  The limited frequency response of 80Hz to 18kHz, helps the engineer to identify problems in the mid-range, where small speakers are most efficient and the human voice tends to be centred, as well as revealing potential problems in the higher range, often masked by lower frequencies.  All these qualities combined give any engineer preparing audio that may be heard on low fidelity systems, the opportunity to compensate for potentially large changes which can occur in the leap between studio monitors and small speakers with limited bandwidth.
