A pair of EVE Audio SC3012 studio monitors spontaneously found their way from Berlin to the studio in 2023. Since then, they are used as the main monitors and complemented by two near-field monitors and classic sound cubes.

"The EVE Audio SC3012s translate the sound the way I expect. After just two or three days, I felt like I had known the speakers forever. Their sound felt familiar to me very quickly. What I hear on the SC3012s is like this. Whether recording, mixing or mastering, they always tell you what the sound is really like."

"As main monitors, they complete the monitoring system in my studio. Since they go down to 25 Hz, a subwoofer is absolutely unnecessary."

"The low end is defined and punchy. The mids come across clear and tidy, while the highs are transparent and pleasantly soft. Reverberation rooms are three-dimensional."

"In audio production, I consider honest feedback from the monitors to be essential. For me, monitors and AD/DA converters are two points in the signal chain that must reproduce the audio material neutrally. The SC3012s do just that."
