Melbourne’s Studio 52 has been making great sounding records for years and has a long history of developing Australia’s best young talent.

The four studio complex is based around Logic Audio complimented with plenty of outboard from TLA, Focusrite and TC Electronic. But once Managing Director of Studio 52 and Empire Records Paul Higgins heard the ADAM Audio S3X-H it didn’t take long to see the benefits of more defined monitoring which have now been installed in Studio C, the home of producer, Trevor Carter (his comments on the S3X-H can be found here).

As Higgins points out, "When you’ve spent 25 years in the music business and heard just about every speaker and professional studio monitor on the market you don’t expect to be surprised by something new, that’s why the ADAM S3X are so special, it took just 30 seconds to know that these were amazing and the gut feeling just keeps being confirmed every time I hear them."

Asked about the impact of the S3X-H monitors on the engineer's work, Paul says: "The resulting mixes and mastering from studio C have shown an immediate improvement. Its just like an open window into the recording, every detail, every nuance, you feel you are in the music not just listening to a pair of speakers. As a midfield monitor or large nearfield I haven’t heard anything better. If you are relying on one listening source for critical mixing and mastering they are the ones to have."
