  • The Evolution and Popularity of Nearfield Monitors in Studios - The journey of studio monitoring has been transformative, reflecting advancements in audio technology and changing needs in the recording industry. In the early days of recording, studios relied on large, full-range speakers known as "mains." These speakers were typically mounted on walls or placed in custom-built enclosures. They were designed to produce powerful sound, suitable for large control rooms and to give a sense of how recordings would sound in theaters or on large sound systems. However, these monitors often introduced their own colorations and biases to the sound, which could mislead engineers and producers about the true nature of their recordings.
