Randy Copus from Galactic Playground Music beliEVEs in SC407
Randy Copus
has composed, performed, produced and engineered in nearly all genres of popular music over the past
few decades. Best known for his work in progressive new age group 2002, which is currently producing
their 20th album, he has also worked in rock and pop music since as a singer, producer and engineer.
Copus now runs Galactic Playground Music, an award-winning recording studio located just north of
Dallas, Texas, USA that records and mixes everything from Billboard-charting albums and soundtracks
to voiceovers for e-learning, interactive training and multimedia.
A wide variety of work keeps Copus on his toes when it comes to gear. "We always strive to make the
studio better," he says. This means continually searching for gear that not only sounds great, but
also sounds great across a wide range of sound sources and genres. His most recent quest for the
ultimate in gear prompted him to make the switch to EVE Audio from another Air Motion Transformer
monitor maker.

International DJ duo W & W beliEVEs in SC3010 and TS110
After completing successful projects for well-known artists such as LNY TNZ, Deetox and Bass Modulators,
Q82 Acoustics
have completed a sleek design studio for international DJ duo
W & W.
Q82 Acoustics used the available space to fit custom furniture, ergonomic chairs, high-gloss white
laminate floor and a DJ desk - all of which utilizes LED lighting to great effect. The main monitoring
is provided by EVE
SC3010
monitor speakers together with a
TS110
subwoofer - all custom wrapped in white to match the surroundings, thus ensuring that the studio is
one of a kind!
W & W: "We've known Quintin Beekman from Q82 Acoustics for quite a while already and we were impressed by
the studios he had already done. We gave him all the freedom to create a studio that would look sick and
sound great, and we're super happy with the result!"

SC205 and TS108 are nominated for DJ Mag Tech Awards 2017
We are pleased to announce that our
SC205 /
TS108
bundle have been shortlisted for the
DJ mag
Tech Awards 2017 public vote,
which is live now.
Voting will close 30th September and we appreciate your support and
vote!
Prior to this UK based DJ mag reviewed the SC205/TS108 bundle in its August 2017 issue. Please
read some passages of that review below:
"EVE Audio delivers a monitoring system that is bigger than the sum of its parts."
"We started our test phase with just the 205s and were impressed at the sound they delivered despite
their size."
"It is all about the detail, and that is what stood out about this system; another good thing is that
listening and producing through the SC205 and TS108 wasn't fatiguing, and we were happy to extend
sessions without losing sonic clarity."
"Loud is fun and yes, the SC205 and TS108 combination can kick out with the best of them, but accuracy
and detail is better, of which we can happily say the EVE monitors deliver."
The review in full length is available in DJ mag's August 2017 issue or
here.

In the spotlight
How does an Air Motion Transformer work?
At EVE Audio we use exclusively Air Motion Transformers (AMT) for the reproduction of high frequencies.
At the core of the Air Motion Transformers is a very lightweight, folded high frequency membrane. These
membranes are printed with aluminum conductors, which together with some very powerful magnets make up
the diaphragm driver.
With traditional dome tweeter designs only the coil is driven and the membrane has to more or less follow
the movements of the coil, whereas with Air Motion Transformers, the conductors, and hence the driver, are
spread evenly across the diaphragm itself. Magnets are spread on the diaphragm similarly to the conductors,
however, the acoustically effective surface is significantly larger, which leads to more directivity issues.
With an Air Motion Transformer the membrane is folded, which allows the tweeter to be much more smaller.
The acoustic directivity is similar to that of a normal dome tweeter, coupled with the advantages of an
Air Motion Transformer.
The sidewalls of the membrane move towards each other and a speed transformation ratio of up to 4:1 is
achieved between the membrane's speed and that of the air between the folds. Due to the drive being
distributed across the entire diaphragm, Air Motion Transformers are much more stable over a wider frequency
range, generate less total harmonic distortion and have an almost linear impedance curve, since there is no
coil inductance.
Yet another advantage is the material used for the diaphragm. This explains why Air Motion Transformers
exhibit none of the typical sound coloration produced by membrane resonance of dome tweeters.
