FREE VRM BOX WITH SELECTED FOCUSRITE INTERFACES
Posted on February 11, 2014 by Joe Stachowiak
The VRM Box is an ingenious piece of studio kit. Using a pair of headphones, the VRM Box allows you to virtually mix your tracks in a variety of environments, using your choice of speakers. For example, you can reference your tracks in a virtual professional studio, through a pair of professional monitors. Or, you can listen to how your track would sound when played back through TV speakers in your living room!
In pursuit of the perfect mix, it is heavily advised to listen to your track on as many different playback systems as possible, in order to make sure that it sounds good on all of them. However, this presents an obvious space and budget problem, as it's impractical and far too expensive for most of us to own such varied set-ups. However, Focusrite have solved this problem, as all you now need is a computer, a pair of headphones and the ultra-compact VRM Box.
Until the end of February 2014, you can grab a FREE VRM Box with Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 and Liquid Saffire 56 interfaces.
