An accurate device reproduces what is on the recording, which may or may not be an accurate representation of the original sound. From Stereophile's glossary:Īccuracy The degree to which the output signal from a component or system is perceived as replicating the sonic qualities of its input signal. It would really help if we all "spoke" the same language. I am convinced that the BBC engineers were not looking for "musicality". More "resolving" (subjective) can only be achieved through higher accuracy. For some people, enhanced "realism" effects can be achieved through the use of "euphonic" colourations that affect the perception of soundstage, of reverberance and of other "musical" qualities. So please don't assume that.įor me "realism" (subjective) depends first and foremost in the recording and an accurate (objective) system will reproduce that recorded "realism" with higher fidelity. Genelec sounds too digital but it's definitely more accurate. But if you have owned BBC speakers you must know that it's mid range is highly resolving, the best I've heard. If so, yeah, ls3/5a is never as accurate as the studio monitors you've mentioned. It seems like "realism" to you is accurate. Monitoring Loudspeaker" piece for the Wireless World: As the manufacturing cost is only about half that of a studio loudspeaker, a considerable saving would result. This loudspeaker would be equally suitable for use in radio outside broadcasts and in the many studio control rooms where the quality but not the available power of a full-sized monitoring speaker is required. They invested a lot in research, I agree, but as I've mentioned in my previous message I've read (almost) all that was written by the BBC RD and its engineers and I am convinced that "low manufacturing cost" was in the design brief.įor example (from the LS3/4 white paper): I cannot think of another broadcasting organisation which has spent more money on speaker design than the BBC. Better to add interchangeable as they were manufactured to tight specifications which meant you didn't need matched pairs. So one would hope we can get more accurate monitors today, but do they sound any better?Īll loudspeakers are governed by a set of restrictions and for BBC monitors cheap wasn't one of them. Like all things, as time goes by our knowledge increases.
