TESTIMONIAL

Studio Clock

"Big Ben has been an industry standard for years with only one or two competitors in this quality range. When I used my BB for the first time, I immediately heard the kick and bass guitar separated and tight, each vocal and instrument spread out in the stereo field and the highs cleared up and opened up. What’s so cool is now I use less EQ, less efx’s and even less panning to achieve the same and better results. So, . . . faster post production and mixing is the bottom line. In music it’s what you hear that counts. A top quality clock can make a huge difference in what you hear."
