Well, in addition to the new PMC 8-2 speaker upgrade, I’ve also added a Trinnov ST2 Pro, and changed from the classic Crane Song Avocet IIA monitor controller, to the Grace Designs m908 making for a pretty significant upgrade to the monitoring path here. The Grace Designs m908 was built with surround/immersive multi-channel audio in […]
