SoundQuality

An uncompromising attitude to producing a recording is worth it, because even though music is being listened to in increasingly diverse circumstances, one can always recognise quality. This, at least, is the firm belief of professional producers and recording engineers. Investing in sound quality has become an essential part of the lifestyle of many, even if they never acquire actual hi-fi gear.

Finnish high-end audio firms aim for blunt, simple honesty.

In recent years, concert hall research has been raised to a new level with a method developed at Aalto University in Finland. This enables the authentic auditing of concert hall acoustics in a laboratory.

"Studying the acoustic responses measured has also allowed conclusions to be made about what kind of sound field leads to a specific kind of observation by listeners. This translates into a better understanding of what kind of architecture supports music best and, above all, conveys the orchestra’s performance of the music to the audience in the best possible way."
