What Top Pros Are Saying

1

“UM225 and UM226 are fantastic for interpreting stereo spreads into surround. They were my go-to’s when remixing Rush’s albums from stereo to surround – the UM225 to upmix stereo pads and synths in order to get some spread throughout the entire field, the UM226 to get some extra sub action. “
