Designed in collaboration with George Augspurger, the 2X8V monitors boast optimized efficiency to deliver large-format SPL from a smaller form factor.
More than just its recording and mixing engineer, Miami Beach Recording Studios (MBRS) co-owner Pablo Reynoso is also a skilled music producer, sound designer and tech geek, now paints every MBRS record with his own signature array of polychromatic tonal hues, using a technicolor sonic palette. Having worked with artists as diverse as Lil' Wayne and Paul Messina, to the Boston Choral Ensemble, Styx and Three Dog Night to Orishas, Yuri, Concha Buika, Yotuel and Ivy Queen, Reynoso has lent his vibrant technicolor flair to the recordings out of his Studio A control room since he came on board as a business partner 2015.

Pandey, founder of Symphonic Acoustics, who installed a custom-built set of 2X8V monitors with matching 12 Subs, then tuned the sound for Reynoso's MBRS Studio A control room.
Some of the monitors that we've used in the studio previously have been very impressive, said Reynoso, and listening to certain recordings on them always elicits a response where the music gives me goosebumps, or I start crying and can't even help it. But compared to all the other speakers we've had before, once the Symphonic Acoustics Dual 8V speakers were installed, it was like a veil had been lifted, and I saw the sonic image with greater clarity and transparency. These speakers go beyond everything else.

Capable of delivering large-format SPL from a 13 -wide cabinet each 2X8V speaker has been refined to improve sonic response and increase the cabinet stability, imparting to the listener a sound signature marked by extended bass response, punchy mids and smooth highs.
I can tell people all about it, and I can even set up mics to try to help demonstrate to people online-but you have to be here in the room. It's not just listening to the music through the speakers. Your hair needs to move; and, you need to get that physical reaction in your body that makes you wonder, What am I experiencing?'
Dreaming in technicolor
With a musical background that began around the same time he learned to count, Reynoso's education at Berklee College of Music provided the launchpad he needed to get Technicolor Lounge Studios off the ground. Born in Mexico City and surrounded by musicians from both sides of his extended family growing up, Reynoso got his first guitar at age four, and started learning to play right away. From then on his dream was to grow up and become a professional musician. After years of telling his friends he planned to someday go to Berklee College of Music, he moved to Boston to study music synthesis and music production and engineering. At Berklee, Reynoso obtained not only a world-class education-but also the basic tools of his trade, as a member of the first generation of Berklee students offered the benefit of the school's laptop purchase program, which gave Reynoso all the software tools he would carry with him to start his own recording business, Technicolor Lounge Studios, after graduation.
Although I grew up in Mexico City, my dream has always been an American dream, and I'm living it, Reynoso said. I went to Berklee as a musician, but when I was thrown to the other side of the glass and into the control room, it became my lab-and it was in there that I decided that making music from the control room is what I want to do.
With a Berklee degree, recording studio experience and a solid software foundation with which to start making mus
