BBC Radio & Music chooses Dynaudio
After a comprehensive selection procedure, the BBC Radio & Music has chosen Dynaudio as its new internal Monitor reference loudspeaker: Models from Dynaudio Acoustics' sensational AIR and BM ranges are the future "recommended standard monitors" in the BBC studios.
Martin O'Donnell, Broadcast Sales Manager at BBC Radio & Music HHB Communication Ltd. says: "As BBC Radio & Music moved to replace their existing monitors, we took a close look at the acoustic requirements and technical specifications of the BBC. After thorough inspection of that data it was clear to us that Dynaudio Acoustics was tailor-made to meet the tough requirements". In particular the future-proof digital, multi-channel architecture and perfect homogenous response in many different environments were high on the BBC's priority list.
The selection procedure was extremely comprehensive and was carried out under the EU procurement guidelines, where interested companies were invited to put 3 different monitor sizes on tender. Every single monitor and company was evaluated separately, and 10 different brands were selected for the final evaluation, where several different usability tests were conducted.
The speakers had to pass through technical evaluations and pass extensive listening tests under "blind" conditions, using an acoustically transparent curtain, in order to guarantee objective and neutral judging. Besides these tests, factory inspections were conducted to examine manufacturing conditions and production consistency. By the end of these far-reaching marathon tests Dynaudio was selected.
”We’re thrilled to have found a partner in the BCC which shares our passion for music and our high targets for true and authentic sound reproduction” says Wilfried Ehrenholz, CEO, and speaking on behalf, of Dynaudio.
