Grammy Award Winner Jeff Ellis Turns to BAE 1073 DMP for Big Studio Sound at His Project Studio

Los Angeles, Calif., September 7, 2016In-demand engineer and mixer Jeff Ellis perfected his craft working on vintage consoles like the one at Eastwest Studios in Hollywood, where he started as an intern before working his way up to a house engineer. “The first console I learned on was a classic British console with 1073 mic pres,” Ellis says. “That’s all I heard through the first few years of my career, so the that sound will always feel like home to me.” Ellis quickly realized that there was something about the design of these vintage circuits that made it a critical tool for making records at the highest level. Since going independent to work on Frank Ocean’s channel ORANGE and collecting a Grammy Award in the process, Ellis continues to value that classic sound in his signal chain.

“Almost any good studio will have at least a rack of 8 vintage-style pres regardless of what console is being utilized in the room, it’s that important,” he says. “I’ve encountered BAE Audio pres in many of these studios, and have always used them interchangeably with vintage channels.” When it came time to outfit his own project studio, located within the Bedrock.LA studio complex, Ellis turned to the compact and versatile BAE Audio 1073 DMP to deliver the vintage tone he loves.

BASSBOSS New LA88 Line Array: High Performance in a Compact Form Factor

LA88 Line Array Features Stunning Clarity and Impressive Power in a Compact Chassis, Suitable for a Wide Range of Applications

Austin, TX – June 22, 2016: Austin-based powered loudspeaker manufacturer BASSBOSS introduces its LA88 small-format line array, perfectly suited for clubs, festivals and a range of other indoor and outdoor applications. The LA88 is designed to deliver unsurpassed fidelity with a flat frequency response, along with high output, a broad coverage pattern, and a long throw. Equally impressive is the form factor of the LA88, which is lightweight, durable and attractive. A built-in 3000W class D amplifier allows the LA88 to outperform any other speaker in its class — all while retaining BASSBOSS’s trademark plug-and-play setup and reliable operation.

A Massive Sonic Output in a Miniscule Footprint
“We designed the LA88 line array to offer extensive output from a minimal frontal area,” explains BASSBOSS President and Founder David Lee. “By employing a narrow aperture wave-guide and then rapidly transitioning the output to a flat fascia, the LA88 is able to deliver up to 140 degrees of coverage, reaching oft-neglected audience areas to the far left and right of speaker hangs.” Ready to fly at a lean 55 lbs each, the LA88’s dimensions (25.25” wide x 19.5” deep and 9.75” high) can hang with an overall width of 28.5” with rigging pins inserted in the flyware, leaving clean sight lines and the ability to pass through 30” doors while pinned together on their optional transport and ground-support cart.

The LA88 also delivers remarkable bass output for its size, delivering +-3 db from 50Hz to 18,000Hz in full-range mode. Subwoofer integration also enables the LA88 to deliver even higher levels of output by activating satellite mode, which engages a high-pass filter that maximizes midrange output. BASSBOSS offers flyware-compatible 15”, 18” and 21” subwoofers that can fly above or serve as support platforms below the LA88s.

BASSBOSS Loudspeakers and Subwoofers Chosen for SXSW Official Stages The Main I and II

Punchy New VS21 Subwoofers Deliver the Impact of Kick Drums and Intensity of Deep-Bass Synths, while LA88 Line Arrays Fill the Space with Pristine Sound

 Austin, TX – May 10, 2016: Austin-based powered loudspeaker manufacturer BASSBOSS is well represented year round in its hometown, with speakers installed in popular venues such as Kingdom, Barcelona, Empire Control Room & Garage, and Ironwood Hall. When the South by Southwest Music and Media Conference sweeps through town every March, a broader audience is exposed to the power and clarity of BASSBOSS speakers as these venues play host to many official showcases and events. For SXSW 2016, in addition to their permanent installations around town, the company was asked to design and provide complete loudspeaker systems at two official stages, The Main I and The Main II .

Jes Elliott, SXSW Music Programmer, commented: “Time and again, BASSBOSS consistently delivers precision and quality that makes their products a standout feature. Everyone talks about how good it sounds when walking away from the show.”

Heightened State
“The fact that so many incredible artists descend upon Austin each year is always exciting,” says Lian Amber, CEO of BASSBOSS. “Having that kind of talent and intensity in one place creates electricity in the air, and BASSBOSS was proud to feed into that with our speaker installation at The Main I and II.”  BASSBOSS was tasked with providing systems that could convert a now bare space, located at the former home of Emo’s, a popular local live music club that has since relocated, into two separate clubs capable of handling the sound needs of top flight talent including Bun B and Steve Aoki. BASSBOSS president David Lee designed systems that were up to the task by utilizing some of BASSBOSS’s newest products, including the LA88 Line Array and RPX21 subwoofers.
