Listening Notes (A/B with ATC 150s)
ATCs have a larger than life soundscape, so much so that they can make everything sound interesting/flattering. Most laud their mid-range accuracy but the fidelity in which it’s reproduced can sometimes fool one into confusing midrange issues with excitement. Oddly this detail occasionally means a perceived mid scoop that translates to excessive midrange energy when listening on different playback systems.
On varied mixed and raw material I knew intimately, the Telegraphers produced a more solid and translatable midrange. I’m focusing on midrange because in my opinion, accurate and translatable representation of mids is the hallmark of a truly professional studio monitor and the frequency range that is the most difficult to tame. The midrange transients and tone were so well represented that I found mixes had a new midrange punch and clarity that was immediately accessible in comparison to the ATCs.
There was admittedly a learning curve switching monitors after using the ATC 150’s exclusively for 2 years. That said, by the end of the second day with the Telegrapher Gorillas I was consistently producing better and more translatable work. Simply put, the Telegraphers made me a better mix engineer and bestowed a confidence in how the material translated regardless of playback speakers.
The Gorilla's 8" driver accurately produces frequencies down into the low mids/high lows and paired with a quality subwoofer would make a no compromise tracking / mix / critical listening playback system.
