Grammy Award Winning Audio Engineer Neil Citron chooses SLS Audio.

“Imagine watching one of the most seasoned professional audio engineers in the country light up with excitement while listening to one your products. Even with the ridiculous ambient noise floor of the 2010 NAMM Show, Grammy Award winner Neil Citron could easily recognize that he was listening to something very different”, said Jeff Lowry Director of Sales and Marketing for SLS Audio.

“I’ve got to have some of these” Citron said. “I’ve always loved the sound of a ribbon, but these are something special, different than the other ribbons I’ve heard. What do we have to do to get these in my studio?”

Roughly two-weeks after the show Citron ordered and received his pair of SLS Audio’s S8R’s, the unpowered version of the PS8R’s. Within a week he had this to say about his new monitors. “I wanted to let you know just how much I love the SLS S8R speakers! I'm mixing a band I'm also producing from Atlanta and usually I live with the mixes for a week to make sure all is good. That's when the SR8's showed up, so I thought I'd put them up and see what the mixes sounded like as is. The guitars and vocals needed EQ and Volume changes as well as the bass sounding low and almost invisible. I could hear the subtleties that weren't apparent in my previous setup. I made the changes and listened to both versions in my car. The SLS mixes sounded the same as I heard in my studio but the others that I thought I would be happy with sounded flat, dull and small. These are the speakers I have been looking for forever!!”

Citron, who received a Grammy Award for his mix of No Substitutions by Steve Lukather/Larry Carlton has worked in the film and recording industry on a wealth of high-profile projects assisting the talents of such artists as; Steve Vai, Greg Bissonette, Virgil Donati, Mike Mangini, The Yardbirds, Joe Satriani, Temple of Heads and Quiet Riot. In addition, Citron’s accomplishments include either engineering, editing or writing for such works as Tom Hank’s That Thing You Do, HBO’s Sex in the City, Sony/Playtone Record’s My Big Fat Greek Wedding as well as Sony’s Soundtrack The Truth About Charlie and Oprah Winfrey’s Their Eyes Were Watching God.

“Having Neil so excited about our products is a wonderful statement,” said John Gott, President of SLS Audio. “It seems that many of the recording and audio industry veterans agree that the SLS Audio’s planar ribbon technology reveals many subtleties that make their efforts more productive and deliver a finished product with more accuracy and detail.”
