Edgar Kramer, SoundStage!, Australia Editor-in-Chief – Listening Impressions

The AS8 soundfield is quite astonishing, there’s a massive spread in all directions without sacrificing image specificity or the indications of what’s been captured in the recording …

Almost literally, it’s a mirage the way the AS8 system can produce not just an amazingly wide, deep and tall soundscape, but also in the way it retains surprisingly tight image placement as you move around the room….the AS8 system preserves a large portion of the soundstage you get at the optimum ‘sweet spot.

Zachary Alford, Professional Drummer with David Bowie & many more

It’s so crisp, and you really feel the space…the space between the instruments. Voices just sound great in them. The harmonics….everything’s so clean. The clarity is just so remarkable.- Zachary Alford, Professional Drummer with credits including David Bowie, The B-52s, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Susanna Hoffs, Manic Street Preachers, David Torn and Patti Scialfa.

Ralph Miccio, Head of Post Production at Good Company, NYC

The AS8 speaker system has been a great addition to our multi-use post production suite at Good Company!

The system currently resides in a room that is 50% brick and windows, and they sound absolutely great in the environment.

It’s allowed us to forgo hanging any acoustical treatments. In addition to the great sound, the ease of use switching between work stations (via bluetooth) to monitor playback has been a bonus to our workflow.

Paul Christie, Bass player for Mondo Rock, The Party Boys

The technology in this AS8 audio system is cutting edge. The spatial qualities, the clarity, the separation, for extended listening & monitoring they are superb.

I’m extremely happy to utilize them in my work environment & for simple listening pleasure.

The AS8 speakers sound incredibly good. Almost surreal for their size, I use them on a daily basis, never get listening fatigue.

I love this speaker technology and have great admiration for the people that conceived these speaker systems.

Ted Orr, Head Engineer, Sertso Studio, Woodstock NY

We were amazed at once by the AS8, from the enormity of the stereo sweet spot and the depth of image coming from these funny looking things. It was like the image could be heard in stereo from anywhere in the room, something none of the other box speakers could do at all.

This feature was of particular interest to me at Sertso, because the control room is small and bass frequencies tend to sound bigger than they are in reality because of the room shape and size. I began using them for mixing and mastering and was again immediately impressed with the results, which translated very well to all other playback systems.

In the few months I’ve had the speakers I have mastered five records (and went back and remastered a few of my own), as well as about 50 mixes, and now consider them to be one of the most valuable and useful tools in my audio chain.- Ted Orr, Head Engineer, Sertso Studio, Woodstock NY

Daniel Lazerus, Producer with Diana Ross & many more

We love the AS8 speakers and were really quite blown away by the accuracy of them. How NOTHING felt digitally manipulated, or falsely hyped in the audio process, they were, truly, quite clean.

The sense of geographic depth and location was a shock … Listened to every imaginable music … a genuinely mature sounding adult product … the speakers thrilled us.- Daniel Lazerus, Producer, multi-instrumentalist, restoration/mastering engineer with credits including Steely Dan, Donald Fagen, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Violent Femmes, Mike Oldfield, Joe Cocker, John Denver, Tom Jones

Bill Hauritz,  musicologist & founder Woodford Folk Festival

Words can’t describe the new experience I was hearing.

The clarity was way beyond anything I’ve heard before.  It was sort of like listening to music in a  sound-proof  room with  top  quality earphones, but  honestly, no words can do  it justice.- Bill Hauritz – musicologist and founder of the Woodford Folk Festival

Danny Blume, Hidden Quarry Studios, Woodstock NY

They defy what I know, or thought I knew about the physics of sound. They don’t seem to be affected by the sound of the room, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.- Danny Blume, owner and operator of Hidden Quarry Studios, Woodstock NY

Heather Marshall, Location Sound Recording, HBO & many more

Amazing sound! - Heather Marshall, Location Sound Recording, HBO, NBC, Fox, BBC, PBS, ESPN, CBS, MTV, National Geographic

Ed Kuepper, The Saints and Laughing Clowns & many more

The acoustical-spatial cues of the audio are presented in unadulterated form so your perceived sound stage behaves like a hologram, placing the audio in the listening space as though the band where performing in front of you. AS8 Das AuReality creates the intimacy of the original performance in your listening space. - Ed Kuepper, founder, frontman, guitarist and songwriter for The Saints and Laughing Clowns, The Yard Goes on Forever, Ascension Academy, The Kowalski Collective, Kid Galahad and The Eternals, toured with Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

With the AS8s you get perfect clarity; it’s like putting on glasses when you’re nearsighted. - David Laks, owner and operator of David Laks Productions, Saugerties NY

John Storyk, acoustic architectural designer

Indeed very interesting concept with the potential of creating a new and exciting standard for speaker enclosures. The interaction of the speaker to the few environments that we placed the speaker in created a particularly diffuse and pleasant audio response. - John Storyk - acoustic architectural designer, wsdg.com

Remarks from AS8 owners …

Santo Cavallaro

The biggest thing I noticed when first listening to these speakers was the clarity and cleanliness of the sound. I heard sounds on familiar songs that I never knew were there. It was like sitting in the recording studio listening to the recording being made. Best value for quality out there by far.

Shannon

 

Set mine up yesterday in a “hostile” environment – lots of sound reflecting surfaces and white noise — and they sound better than any previous effort in this room and I’ve made plenty! They look fantastic (I have the red ones) and *everyone* comments on them. Very, very happy with my purchase.

Mike

There is a beauty and immediacy to the sound that these speakers generate, that is different to any other speakers that I’ve heard. I have these setup for my office, and find they are perfect for conferencing as well as listening to my digital music collection when I have some down time. The clearest and most beautiful audio that I’ve ever heard.

Geoff Chester

Had the AS8 system for a while and now have one in our media (TV) room and one on our CD player in the lounge. I say amazing because going back through my (60s) 70s and 80s music when they played instruments and not just electronics the clarity and nuances of all the sounds come out in living colour. You hear every instrument as if you were in the mosh pit. How it stops the reflections and echoes in the rooms is something for the boffins to understand, I just know it leaves a crisp sound in your ears and that’s it!

Nomadeine

The 3D sound imaging is amazing. I live in a split level house. The speakers are upstairs and I’m usually on the lower level … My friend asked me where my speakers were because she felt like the sound was right next to her … Like an invisible presence. I loved that analogy. It wasn’t just a fabrication of my mind but that she experienced that too. I also noticed that I am no longer irritated by my husband’s choice of music when he plays them through these speakers, because I’m not suffering any distortion in the acoustics, Just clean sound. Thanks guys.
