Electronic dance music DJ/creator/producer Hardwell is dancing to the Genelec tune with an upgrade of his studio in Breda, Netherlands.
The original speaker complement consisted of Genelec 1034s. “When we first built a studio together, Jan [Morel] introduced me to Genelec speakers. I was using different brands before, but hearing the 1034s for the first time blew me away. Since then, I’ve been hooked.”
Studio design collaborator Jan Morel is closely involved with the new studio as well.
Working together they installed “two white 1234A main monitors as part of an impressive stereo monitoring system that also includes pairs of 8341A and 8020D nearfield models, complemented by a 7073A subwoofer.”
Hardwell adds, “The speakers calibrate to the room, and now the whole space feels like a sweet spot. I don’t experience phase cancellation when moving around, and everything just sounds smooth. Normally, you’d hear more low-end in the back of a room, but these speakers balance everything out.”
Morel offers this analysis, “With Hardwell, design is an ongoing conversation. We’d work on the front wall, and then he’d say, ‘Let’s look at the ceiling,’ then the side walls, and so on. It keeps the process exciting and results in a studio perfectly tailored to him.”
