Ariel Lavigna, famous Argentine sound engineer, has installed a pair of Focal Twin6 Be monitors in his Nomade Mix Studios in Buenos Aires.
I was looking for a pair of monitors for my mixing room for about 5 years, until I heard Focal.
The most important thing about my monitors is that even in the first mix I did on them five years ago, the mix was incredible outstanding, far better than my previous mixes. They let me hear the music nuances and emotions other than the music´s "sound"...
I feel really confident about what I listen to in my room with the Twins, and that helps me a lot to make the right decisions.
I used to listen to two or three different monitors when mixing. Now I only rely on my Twins, even at the very low listening levels I use. They don't fatigue my ears at loud levels either, so I really enjoy setting up my mixes and listening music on them. The only possible way of changing my Focals, would be for another pair! I absolutely love them!
