Renowned composing and sound design duo Brains and Hunch (Tom Haines and Chris Branch) have invested in two sets of Genelec 8351 SAM monitors, provided by HHB Communications.
A set of 8351 SAM monitors – also known as The Ones – was delivered by Scrub (HHB Communication’s post division) and initially installed in a spare studio space at the company’s facility in the heart of London's Hoxton district with little to no acoustic treatment. Previously, the untreated room experienced booming low frequencies whenever monitors were introduced. However, once the 8351s were installed, the built-in SAM technology and GLM software automatically measured and calibrated the monitors to deliver a perfect sonic performance.
The Ones are now housed in a purpose-built room by Chris Walls of Level Acoustic Design, where they were quickly recalibrated to perform optimally in the new space. The initial pair of 8351s made sufficient impact that Haines and Branch have now purchased a second pair for an additional studio space.
