Exclusive: Fuzion impresses with Genelec immersive seminars
Following a two-day Asia Pacific/Middle East distribution meeting, Genelec hosted an immersive seminar in Bangkok for its Thai customers and dealers. Working closely with local distributor Fuzion, the impressive event was held at Studio 28 on the capital’s outskirts.
‘It’s taken weeks of preparations,' confirmed Fuzion’s Joshua Oates, 'but it’s all come together this evening as we have welcomed numerous DJ’s, producers, film producers and engineers to the event. So, it was worth the collective efforts of the team.’
Five representatives from the Finnish speaker manufacturer supported Fuzion for the event including Thomas Lund (senior technologist), Howard Jones (marketing director) and Aki Makivirta (R&D director).
Following a welcome speech, Mr Lund provided a seminar overview on GLM calibrated frequency response and loudness compliance before Aki Makivirta explained more about the 8331, 8341 and 8351 monitoring speakers – collectively referred to as The Ones together with the 7382 subwoofer. Meanwhile, the S360 SAM two-way monitor was unveiled for the first time in South East Asia.
Fuzion’s Sutat Kohtiat assisted the nominated Genelec team with technical translations throughout the entire evening. Following a short break, further seminars on Dolby Atmos room specification and DARDT (Dolby Atmos Room Design Tool), together with Auro music production and immersive recording techniques, followed. The finale, and the pièce de résistance, came in the form of a 17-minute Atmos listening experience.
Aurally stimulated and educated, the more than 150 guests were then provided entertainment courtesy of a DJ in the outdoor area and nourished with food and drink.
‘I’ve been using Genelec main and nearfield monitors in studio setups for many years, as well as the 8010s and 8020s for my own portable use,’ confirmed Bangkok-based DJ Spider Monkey. ‘Occasions such as today confirm why I love the brand.’
