Pro Sonix Cymbals Shape Sound With 'Extended
Bandwidth Response'
 January 28, 1999SABIAN
Ltd. has added a new range of models to its popular PRO series of professional
quality uni-rolled bronze cymbals. PRO Sonix cymbals are uniquely different
in that they are designed to penetrate any music with their bright, glassy sounds
while offering the sonic-shaping flexibility of Extended Bandwidth Response.
Under microphones in live and studio situations this innovative feature lets
players boost or reduce specific tonal bandwidths to open up the shape of their
sound for expanded fullness or tighten it up for increased penetration.
Noted SABIAN cymbal specialist Mark Love: "Sonix is a major advancement
in our PRO series,
For recording and in amplified settings the Extended Bandwidth Response lets
players shape and personalize their sound specifically for the music or the
volume they are playing. This innovative is unique to PRO Sonix.
Created with input from drummer/producer Jonathan Mover, PRO Sonix are precision-formed
from pure B8 bronze (92% copper/8% tin) and are visually distinguishable by
the large hammer marks emanating from the bell to the edge in linear patterns.
This hammering coupled with the high profile, hand lathing and tonally focused
nature of the uni-rolled bronze combines to deliver definitely bright, glassy
and cutting sounds. The crashes explode with focused, directional projection
while the hats and the ride are tonally tight, with sticking highly defined
at all times. The Chinese barks with a bright, biting response. PRO Sonix are
finished in SABIAN's highly polished Brilliant Finish and sealed in a coating
of clear protective lacquer.
The PRO Sonix lineup includes 10" Splash, 14" Hi Hats, 16" and
18" Crashes, 18" Chinese, 20" Ride. The PRO Sonix Performance
Set contains 14" Hats, 16" Crash, 20" Ride. For more information, visit Sabian at http://www.sabian.com/ |
