Mixing with headphones? NEVER without this! SPL Phonitor 2 Review

Zardonic - Videos & Lyrics

Zardonic

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to show you why I'm using the SPL Phonitor 2 as a mixing tool whenever I work with headphones!


0:00 Introduction
0:32 Phonitor 2 Front Panel + Crossfeed Circuit
3:38 120 V DC Rail Technology + Phonitor Comparison + Headphone Test
4:57 More Controls: Mono / Stereo monitoring, Laterality, VU Cal, Matrix
6:31 Sources and Outputs + Optional Rack Extension + Routing + Phase
7:55 Final Thoughts


Besides the obvious benefits of the SPL proprietary Crossfeed Circuit, which we will explain in detail in the video, the detail improvement makes it EXTREMELY unforgiving. Which is EXACTLY what you would want in any mixing tool!

Any applied compression, distortion, or anything that affects the dynamic range, will become extremely emphasized, which is already helping me make better decisions in my productions. If you're looking for headphone amplifiers that improve the tone of your current headphones, or something that adds warmth when listening to music, this is not the tool for you. If you need, however, something that shows you EXACTLY what is coming out of your DAW, I haven't heard anything better for mixing and mastering purposes.

I will try to contact SPL to see if there's a possibility for me to come to their main headquarters so we can learn a bit about the people behind the company, which has already become an industry standard in many mixing and mastering studios around the world! If we can make this happen, I will work on a video follow-up for all of you to see!

Cheers!

Federico
