We know there are a lot of people that have been searching and
wondering about the mysterious and mythology speakers that the studio elite
in The speakers are SNAKE SPEAKERS and
they are now available! It all started back in1986 when Denniz Pop order a pair of OEM built
main monitor to his studio. The requirements was a pair of main monitor that
had the clarity, high definition, low distortion and bandwidth that usually
comes with studio monitor, but this one should also be able to produced the
SPL sound pressure experience at a club! There was no studio monitors on the market that could produce high SPL
with a tight and high definition bas response. They all went blurry and
diffuse or could not simply produce the SPL. So this was the challenge! The result was the Ref1; the working name
at that time was "The Tower". Anyone that has been in Dennis Pops
control room at Cheiron Studios knows that the result is just truly
astounding and a experience you newer forget. Today the studio is run by Kristian Lundin, the Location. Kristian is
one the producer that started as Denniz Pop’s adepts. The sadly and to
early deceases of Denniz Pop has had a deep impact on all of us but it is
truly time to move on and continue with his spirit in mind. Among some of the privileges ones to own a pair Ref1 Snake Speakers
are, Max Martin, Kristian Lundin & Douglas Carr. The Ref1 has only been
build on customer order request in a very limited edition. After the success with the Ref1, Denniz ordered yet a new pair of
studio monitor. This time the requirements was a pair of near field for the
mastering and cutting room, and the prerequisites was somewhat the same,
there was no near field monitor available the market that was small enough
but still capable of deliver the sound pressure and dynamics needed. The result was the S802 and it became fast the standard monitor in all
major studios in Although S802 was designed as near filed monitor
its dynamic capabilities has made it to a standard as main monitor in smaller
control rooms. Next chapter in the Snake Speakers evolution is two new models, one
smaller truly near field model S502 and one mid size main monitor S1203. Next
step for the famous S802 is to be active with build in power amp and
processing. As always with Snake Speakers there will be no compromise, in
example the active S802 is going to have a full 600W RMS power amp, to be
compared to competitors equally sized monitors this is double to 10 times the
power commonly used (300 - 60W) Designers of the Snake Speakers are Anders Hannegard and Johan Malmberg.
Johan & Anders joined up in the challenge to design the studio monitors
requested by Denniz. Both Johan & Anders has been designing professional
speaker system fort more than two decades and the fruitfully co-design work
of the Snake Speakers is to be continued and finally it is to be available
for a broader audience. |
