Sony Electronics Launches MDR-MV1 Open Back Monitor Headphones for Spatial Sound Creation

Sony Electronics announced the MDR-MV1 Reference Monitor Headphones, designed for sound engineers and music creators looking for accurate spatial sound field reproduction. The new Sony headphones combine sound quality with long-lasting wear, comfort, and reliability. The open-back design enables a wide sound field, making the MDR-MV1 a suitable option for mixing and mastering immersive spatial sound, such as 360 Reality Audio, as well as high-resolution audio stereo material.

Reflecting its ongoing mission to educate and offer technical guidelines, the Recording Academy Producers & Engineers Wing has officially published a new paper titled "Recommendations for Hi-Resolution Music Production"; and an updated version of its historically influential "Recommendations for Delivery of Recorded Music Projects." Always record at 24-bit and 96kHz or better, says the Recording Academy.

Roland launched the Super UA, a high-performance USB 2.0 audio interface with 1-bit DSD and 32-bit PCM playback, with up to four simultaneous channels of 24-bit PCM recording and a high-performance headphone amplifier with two outputs. The Super UA features an impressive die-cast metal design with detachable breakout module.
