Sound studio
Munich Academy of Music
FÖRSTER AUDIOTECHNIK was awarded the order by the Free State of Bavaria to develop the
loudspeakers for the new large sound studio of the Munich Academy of Music.
At the end of 2002 FÖRSTER AUDIOTECHNIK completed the time-coherent studio monitor having
chassis with in-phase polarity. Here in principle the same technology is employed as in
other models made by FÖRSTER AUDIOTECHNIK.
Christian Böhm, sound engineer, director of the sound studio of the Munich Academy of Music:
"When we wanted to completely redesign the sound studio of the Munich Academy of Music and
Performing Arts on a fully digitalized basis in 2001, we also wanted the studio monitors to
meet our high demands. Since we could not find a suitable model among the standard studio
monitors known by us which was able to yield satisfactory results in a admittedly acoustically
difficult control room, we searched for a loudspeaker manufacturer who could bring our idea of
an indefinite baffle into a concrete shape by using one of our favourite chassis. Moreover,
the monitors had to be really time-coherent systems in which exclusively chassis with in-phase
polarity should be used.
The loudspeaker system developed by Thomas Förster fully met our ambitious expectations.
Not only by planning and working very scrupulously, but also by conducting extensive listening
tests, Mr. Förster brought his concept to perfection, thus creating a monitoring environment
which enables superior control of the tonal picture produced at the mixer. The loudspeakers
offer utmost clarity and transparency, their basses almost reach the end of the audible range
of the human ear without ever sounding "thick", and are present, but not importunate in the
higher sounds."

Electronics
If something special is to be created, every individual part is of importance. We use exclusively the best of them.
Sound
Good sound is time-coherent. It is spatial, clear and natural - and it elicits strong emotions.
