Tony Visconti's Studio Monitors
Visconti notes that the idea of 5.1 is to create a spatial playground. “There’s an effect in an early mix of Heroes where the lyric is ‘the guns shot above our heads,’” he explains. “In stereo, the gun shots are panned from left to right, whereas in 5.1, the sound moves from front to back, so you really get the idea of bullets passing by you. Only placing the band in the front and reverbs in the back is not using your six speakers creatively, so I’m not afraid to put primary information into the rear MSP10 speakers. What’s great about this setup and 5.1 is that you have the luxury of putting a rhythm guitar in the back right speaker, or having a full string section in the back. Classical and jazz recordings have more strict rules, but in the rock world, anything goes. After all, rock 'n' roll recording is basically creating an aural illusion.”
