Meyer Sound Amie Speaker - Steve Shurtz and Miles Rogers
In this exclusive interview we talk with Cinema Group Director Steve Shurtz and Application Director Miles Rogers to explore their new studio monitor Amie which is designed for postproduction professionals whose work needs to translate from smaller rooms to larger facilities, such as dialog editors, sound designers, effects editors, foley mixers, and music editors.
Tasked by Skywalker Sound to create a new studio monitor with precision translation, exceptional power, and a great price point, Meyer Sound has created a product that brings tremendous accuracy for everything from the intricate details of dialogue to dynamic music tracks to explosive action sequences.
Amie traces its lineage to Meyer Sound’s Acheron® screen channel loudspeakers, sharing core technology that makes it ideal for film, broadcast, and game postproduction.
