iZotope, Inc., maker of award-winning software for audio production, has chosen PMC loudspeakers for its new studios in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
 
  Featuring a multi-use mastering room as well as a flexible live room and control room, iZotope Studios was designed to support product design and development, in-studio and webcast educational events, preset design, and research into digital signal processing.
 
  iZotope engaged noted mastering engineer Jonathan Wyner, now Chief Engineer and also Education Director at iZotope, to steer the studio’s conception and planning, and he was assisted by renowned acoustician Francis Manzella.
 
  “iZotope has a reputation for world-class audio quality,” explains Brian McQuoid, iZotope’s Chief Operations Officer, “iZotope Studios supports our continued work to that standard, and is a physical expression of that commitment to quality.”
 
  Performance and aesthetics were the key factors why iZotope chose PMC for its new rooms. Of their two studios, the first features a pair of MB2S, 3 way, passive monitors powered by two PMC active 7B mono amplifiers and the second a pair of IB1S 3 way, passive monitors teamed with a PMC active 4B amplifier.
 
  "The PMC monitors are well balanced and musical," Wyner says. "They also suit a wide range of musical material. I worked closely with PMC's US President of Sales and Marketing, Maurice Patist, and he recommended these models based on the studios' intended use and the room dimensions. As a mastering engineer, I believe a no-holds-barred listening experience is essential to achieve great results in production, product development and teaching. These speakers satisfy that requirement."
