Seeing that Yao Hongbo gave Tong Mu a set of high-end audio, Hu Yiting was a little reluctant to go, chatted with him for a while, and said that Tong Mu planned to set up a separate record company to fly solo, Yao Hongbo was full of admiration, said that he would definitely support him in the future, and asked Tong Mu if he had his own recording studio now.

"Is it important?"

"Hong Kong people like Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam have their own royal recording studios, and the advantage is that you can record as much as you want, and you can grind in it for as long as you want, and you can live in it. ”

"It's a bit like when we engage in closed R&D, and we don't dissolve the project if we don't finish it. ”

Yao Hongbo smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Hu is worthy of being a smart person, that's it, the top recording studio costs tens of millions, and it costs tens of thousands of yuan to rent a day, singers and producers work hard after they go in, it's good to say that if you have money, rent it for a few days and grind slowly, if you don't have money, you have to record an album in a day or two, it's very tiring and difficult to ensure the quality!"

Hu Yiting heard this and looked at Tong Mu: "I can't let you be wronged, since we are alone, let's build the best recording studio." ”

Tong Mu's heart was warm, and he blurted out: "I just spent money to build one myself, and it is not expensive to listen to Director Kong, you can buy all the equipment for one or two million, and there are many such recording studios in China, and the quality is also very good." ”

Hu Yiting smiled: "Can that be compared with the top one? Don't say it, I'll give you one." ”

Tong Mu felt that there was a brilliant emotion in his heart that could not be described in words, so he only nodded meekly and stared at Hu Yiting with a little woman-like expression.

Yao Hongbo laughed and coaxed: "There are sales at this exhibition, Mr. Hu, you and Xiaotong can go and have a look." Not long after the fruit, Yao Hongbo did not dare to hold up Hu Yiting and called him Mr. Hu, but he was more casual with Tong Mu and called him a child.

"Okay, Mr. Yao, you can help us with our staff officers. Hu Yiting took Tong Mu by the hand and followed Yao Hongbo.

Yao Hongbo said as he walked, and when he talked about acoustics, he couldn't stop the car, talked about the various equipment needed in the recording studio, and also introduced the installation know-how and interior decoration knowledge.

"I am an expert in this regard, we Huiwei have our own sound laboratory, although the equipment can not be said to be the top, but it is also ranked in the top 20 in China, I have been in contact with a lot of recording studios, such as the Oasis recording studio in Guangzhou is my friend's engagement, I was a staff officer, he has two top equipment there We Huiwei himself is not willing to buy. ”

Hu Yiting bowed: "That's great, there are experts in charge today, Tong Mu, we are too lucky." ”

Tong Mu smiled: "That is to say, I am so happy to meet Brother Yao today." ”

Yao Hongbo took the two to the exhibition room of the solid-state-logic company, and excitedly pointed to the huge equipment in the center of the front hall like a dining table for eight people and said: "To build a recording studio, first of all, you have to choose a mixer, although there are also computer digital mixers, but it depends on software, few functions, and the tuning effect is not in the stream, I don't know if it will be better in the future, but that is a matter of the future, in short, if you want a good sound, you can't save money, you must have an analog mixer." ”

Hu Yiting nodded: "I agree with this point of view." ”

Yao Hongbo continued: "Although the mixer was invented by Yamaha, the best equipment in the world at present has to be the SSL9000 series of the British SSL company, which is called the Rolls-Royce of the tuning industry. ”

Tong Mu looked at the hundreds of knobs and slide rods on the surface of the huge mixer, and couldn't help but gently shake Hu Yiting with his fingers, and whispered: "It must be too expensive, go see Yamaha." ”

Hu Yiting glared at her sideways, then turned his head and continued to listen to Yao Hongbo.

"SSL was founded in 1969 by Collinsanders, who started his family as a manufacturer of transistor controllers for church organ manufacturers, and because he liked pop music, Collinsanders built his own recording studio, and then he thought, can he put a transistor controller into a studio console? ”

Hu Yiting approvingly: "Mr. Yao is well-informed, admires and admires, this Colin Sanders is also a genius, and it is not easy to make a product the first in the industry from scratch." ”

Yao Hongbo was quite proud when he heard this, but sighed: "But this person is unlucky, he joined the British UEI Group with SSL, but within two years, UEI was acquired by Carlton TV Group, and then kicked him out of the company. ”

Hu Yiting also felt desolate when he heard it, and sighed lightly, "Yes."

Yao Hongbo re-energized: "But things are good things, this is not said! The industry recognizes! His SuperAnalogue super simulation is an exclusive technology, which can achieve simulation without distortion, no coloring, clean and transparent, extremely fast response, and faithful restoration, which Yamaha can't catch up with." ”

Hu Yiting listened attentively: "How did you do it?"

Yao Hongbo stepped forward and touched the silver aluminum alloy panel of the table, such as a few treasures and said: "Many of his technologies are original, such as transformerless design is his family's work, you know that the transformer of audio input and output will bring distortion to the audio, especially at low frequency, the fluctuation can be directly measured from the frequency meter, and if the multi-stage vacuum tube system is used to design the transformer system, there will be no distortion." ”

Hu Yiting nodded: "Good way." ”

"Yes, it's a pity that people have registered patents, hahaha. Yao Hongbo laughed, "And his channel volume fader system is also very advanced, and it can adjust the volume of multiple channels without introducing noise.

In addition, his equipment is a capacitor-free design, Mr. Hu knows that the capacitor is interfering with the audio, and the design has to limit the frequency response to avoid interference, resulting in sound distortion. ”

Saying that, Yao Hongbo took out an introduction manual from the shelf next to the platform and flipped it to Hu Yiting, "Mr. Hu, you look at the frequency response curve of others, it's amazing, there is no fluctuation at all!

Hu Yiting praised: "Good thing!"

"Not really. Yao Hongbo said: "There is another advantage of non-capacitance design, that is, there is no delay, there is a process of capacitor charging and discharging, although it is very short, but it is enough to form a delay effect for the signal, once there is a delay in the recording and tuning process, there will be phase distortion in each channel, resulting in deterioration and distortion of sound quality, people use DC coupling circuits instead of capacitors, so that the transient response is achieved, no delay, no phase difference, it is really too thoughtful!"

Hu Yiting nodded: "And the capacitor is easy to age, after a long time, the charging and discharging time of each capacitor is different, and there is leakage and deterioration, and it is impossible for users to regularly disassemble and check the capacitor one by one for maintenance and replacement, and the sound quality will definitely be worse at that time." ”

Yao Hongbo slapped his face: "Mr. Hu, you are worthy of technology, draw inferences from one another! As you said, capacitors are really not suitable for high-end products, and our top boxes from Huiwei, like the one I just gave you, are without capacitors. ”

"Thank you Yao Dong. ”

"Hehehe, in short, the slogan of his product is 'input is output', do not make any changes to the signal, avoid distortion to the greatest extent, if you are willing to spend money, I advise you to choose SSL mixer, his SSL9000 is the flagship product, the world's top recording studios all use this thing, the BBC is so bullish does not also use his station, radio and television are most afraid of delay and distortion, and the same is true for recording. ”

Hu Yiting said with a smile: "Yao Dong made a free advertisement for SSL today, okay, just choose this one." ”

Tong Mu's heart was pounding, and he asked half excitedly and half worriedly: "Brother Yao, how much does this SSL9000 cost?"

Yao Hongbo said: "I don't think it's expensive for the entire cost of the recording studio, this top-level professional all-field mixer plus the converter in the cabinet next to it is only 150,000 US dollars, but there is not only this equipment in the recording studio, but also the sound-absorbing wall embedded monitoring, incoming monitoring, preamplifier, various types of professional microphones, mastering workstations, Dolby sound systems, etc., all cost money, this thing is the most important, so I will be the first to help you choose it, and then let's take our time." ”

Hu Yiting said with a smile: "Yao Dong, don't help me save money, we can work hard today, I must build a world-class recording studio for Tong Mu, and then invite a top symphony orchestra to record the symphony and see how it works." ”

Yao Hongbo said with a smile: "Mr. Hu is atmospheric! Indeed, whether the recording studio is good or not, whether it is big enough, whether it can put the symphony orchestra, and secondly, whether the recording engineer is good enough, as for the equipment, the top recording studio can't think about saving money at all, and must pile up the equipment." Since Mr. Hu said so, I am also deeply honored to have the opportunity to participate in the purchase of equipment for the top sheds in China, which is really not much, hahaha. ”
