A link to Tim Ventura? I really enjoy Tim's interviews.

[@thomasstanfel7589]

That rig is way over the top...yet balanced. Definitely engaging

[@cueboyd8666]

The low end on Augspurgers is truly something you have to hear in person. So smooth and Deep sounding.

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

You're not kidding, Brother... it's like a plasma wave from the depths of Hades..

[@dornauge1995]

the clarity and smoothness at these levels are unreal! thank you for the showcase!! :)

[@dornauge1995]

how about hearing next time songs that actually got mixed on these? is this possible? x)

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

No problem!

[@dornauge1995]

@@OCDHIFiGuy thanks! im curious because i have a pc "hifi" setup with studio monitors (well its quite low budget compared to you guys, i would say 3000€ overall) it was a struggle at first but with the right "housecurve" you can make studio monitors sound really good... and in some ways i prefer it to "hifi speakers" because it lets you really hear what went into the mix (tho unaltered flat studio monitors sound overly bright and light on the bass, probably for most tastes) i actually tried to replicate the bassboost (+ 4-6db highshelf at 40hz) and this is definitely bringing out the "smoothness" i was hearing in the showcase (and it actually makes the speakers real showcase speakers i would say) normally i use just a housecurve starting at 20hz and at around -4db at 20khz Do you guys actually use the bass boost for mixing? or is this a EQ that you use to actually double check for other systems?

[@topside3]

Crazy! The sound is so composed even at that high spl.

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Totally nuts..

Dude, I am so jealous!! The sound from the web is amazing and I can't even imagine what it's like in person!! Nice share 🙂

[@davemalekpour3625]

We had a great time listening and was exciting to show Mikey the inside of the studio and my tuning process for studios. My tuning for high end room is a bit different but comes from this understanding of the listening experience.

[@LADMAN1018]

This is the REAL DEAL next to live performances ! Thx Mickey took me back to CK Rufus days. Blessings

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Rock on Larry !

[@inductionrecords]

Now that's my kind of music! Don Cannon and DJ Drama made a legendary series of mixtapes in the 2000's called "Gangsta Grillz". Atlanta has basically ran the rap scene since the early 2000's.

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

For sure. Afterwards we went to Tricky Stewart's place. L.A. Reed was there, I met Tricky and in another room Usher was laying tracks...

[@hiresaudiocosta873]

Mikey. Pink noise is not all frequencies at the same amplitude. Every frequency lowers 3 DB per Octave as one goes higher up in frequency.

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

OK, great. Whatever... lol. I'm about the sound. He used pink noise.. I don't need to understand it. Good looking out though, man !

[@hiresaudiocosta873]

@@OCDHIFiGuy I have been building a unique sound studio for two channel music reproduction over the last 11 years. Entire listening room was hand built, individual drivers selected, crossover slopes and types, 100 percent active nothing passive in the system. It excels in instrument separation and 3 - Dimensional Holographic Imaging. One listener said it was a “transcendental experience”. I knew nothing about sound and without going to sound school for engineering or mixing and mastering, I spent the last few years learning about sound. So that I could tune the system to my liking. I learned all the technical things like crossover types and slopes, phase shift, all pass filters, time domain, crosstalk, room treatment etc. I had lots of people that have helped me along in my audiophile journey and still do. The system is almost near completion after 11 years. Because the system was purpose built, the room and the drivers work together in harmony creating a toroidal bubble of sound. Put one’s ear on the edge of that bubble and along the plane of inertia and the speakers and room totally disappear and the listener is transported through space and time to the recording venue. What they do when they get there is an emotionally engaging experience with the artists ( for music lovers ) or it triggers a memory from the past that they have a emotional connection with. Regardless where the TIME Machine takes you, it’s going to be unforgettable experience!

[@bigjay1970]

The smallish room designed to such a degree seems to matter the most. As you yourself said. $50,000 max in equipment minus software, can give a person a million dollar experience.🤑 Go into an ultra high end mixing room regarding multi channel mixing for Movie sound tracks and such. It can litterely scare the heck out of a person.😳 Hearing a person run up from behind with a chain saw!🤔😛🤯🤓

[@gmoney1961]

[@tomlu1816]

Killer vid mike, sounds like a great time

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Was fun.

[@nicholasreeves5025]

I have to say a well setup/good quality horn system will always win for me. They “push” the soundstage into the room whereas other speakers place it behind the speakers. For some that behind the speakers is their preference but not for me.

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

I hear ya..

[@hiresaudiocosta873]

My System plays subsonic well past at 111 DB even at 10 HZ and lower, up to 120 - 125 DB or so. But 111 Hz is my absolute limit as well, as it seems as if I were to try and take it past that point, it might cause hearing damage.

[@falconquest2068]

Upload a video man, show that baby off!

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Most likely would!!

[@davemalekpour3625]

Hearing damage comes from SPL but even more so from square waves and distortion. Even below 85 db distortion affects the cilia in your ear and can break it off, and that’s why engineers can listen to higher levels in a good studio for prolonged time and still hear very well. But it’s not a good thing to listen very long above 85-95db. But when tracking a bass guitar, you play differently if you feel it then just hearing it thru small speakers or on headphones. Bass can be very inspiring feeling wise… in that we have almost no limits with our systems

[@mikegaustad477]

Mikey , You answered your question why everyone always talks about bass. Most hifi rigs cannot get you to get the giggles when it comes to bass reproduction. When we finally do hear it, it is like finding the holy grail !

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

True !!

[@davemalekpour3625]

Bass makes us weak in the knees

[@andredevries4987]

Hi mike. This system is killer man. Gr André de vries.

Just brute force. Cone area, high power, beryllium, TAD, flush-mounted powerhouse.

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

That's it..

[@davemalekpour3625]

Not just brute force. They’re top speaker for mixing and production because they are a combination of accuracy and inspiration. That’s what I focus my tuning on. And many mix engineers can go to any one of our rooms and trust what they hear.

[@FOH3663]

@@davemalekpour3625 I agree. All that in a highly 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥 platform. It can translate, yet it has zero dynamic constraint. The flush mounting is a big component as well. Very nice

[@dtracy03ss]

How much Are all the Ports giving to the Rich Clean sound, are they permanent or are they adjustable?

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Ports extend bass. Not adjustable, there is only one tuned resonance for a speaker and the port size and length determine the frequency.

[@tonyortizc21]

What model of studio monitors are on the desk in this mixing room?

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

AUGSPURGER

[@joegallenberger6032]

Good video Mickey! I think that white noise is all frequencies at even amplitude, pink noise is all frequencies adjusted for the sensitivities of the human ear which is more sensitive to certain frequencies, so to get a room to be even one would use white noise. Or am I incorrect?

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

He was using Pink noise.. that much I know... the rest not so sure.

[@davemalekpour3625]

Pink noise, 1⁄f noise or fractal noise is a signal or process with a frequency spectrum such that the power spectral density is inversely proportional to the frequency of the signal. In pink noise, each octave interval carries an equal amount of noise energy. Pink noise sounds like a waterfall.

[@MrBonger88]

Which speakers were playing, the in walls or desktops? Also, how big is that room? Looks like it’s on the smaller side but video can be deceiving

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

In walls. Roughly 14 ×22 feet with 10 foot ceilings is my guess..

Mikey - you want some great speakers I got them for you - LANSCHE AUDIO - PLASMA TWEETER speakers - heard them at the big show in Costa Mesa yesterday - they crushed the Magico and TAD speakers

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Tad is in no way comparable with Magico.. and I've heard Lansche. Yep they are good. Go buy them. OZ will make you a deal on the 65K floorstanders youre comparing to $30K TAD. TAD is coming with a 60K floorstander that will kick Lansche in the balls. ... you understand those tweeters burn out, right ? Then it's thousands of dollars to replace them. I've had several clients complain about actually owning Lansche.. they sold them...

the tweeters last for 5000 hours ... at 2 hours a day that is years of use ,,,, we live in a world of fifty thousand dollar power cables and thirty thousand dollar equipment racks so its all relative

I am 100% bias, so can’t comment on this exactly but I think it would be worth A-B in same size space with same value system… you might feel differently.
