Sinners & Saints Listening Party at Quad Studios
sponsored
David “Roz” Rosner of Quad and Dave Malekpour of Professional Audio Design hosted the “Sinners & Saints” party at Quad.
Visitors were treated to a listening session of Quad’s new active Augspurger monitors with on-board DSP. They are earth-shaking and articulate at any level.
Later on in the evening, guests were treated to live performances in Quad’s Studio 1. We snuck in before the show to check out the setup, which sounded great using only British-designed Sontronics microphones.
