Recording Magazine Writes: "I was hearing<br />

spatial information <strong>and</strong> <strong>mid</strong>range details that had<br />

previously escaped notice. Ambiences came across with<br />

stunning realism <strong>and</strong> a 3-dimensional vision that<br />

conveyed actual or synthesized soundstages with<br />

unmistakable clarity. Imaging, especially front-to-back<br />

placement, was more stable <strong>and</strong> vivid than any monitor<br />

remotely <strong>near</strong> this price I have ever heard. In short, these<br />

<strong>Truth</strong> <strong>Audio</strong> TA-1P monitors sound fantastic." REVIEW<br />

"Although I have produced many great<br />

records the <strong>Truth</strong> TA-1Ps reminded me<br />

of many flaws in my mixes that could<br />

have been perfected only if I had a pair of<br />

these when I worked on these projects.<br />

This could be a project saving tool for all<br />

studios to own."<br />

<strong>Audio</strong> Media Writes: Bass: Warm <strong>and</strong> well<br />

balanced: even in the extreme lows the bottom was well<br />

balanced Kick Drum: Meaty <strong>and</strong> well defined: there was a<br />

nice punch to the transient peak <strong>and</strong> the ‘point’ was well<br />

defined. Snare: Snappy <strong>and</strong> in your face: the TA-1Ps<br />

shine on transients. Crunch Guitar: Great! The <strong>mid</strong>-range<br />

details I spoke of above are in evidence here. Even with a<br />

lot of guitar-cabinet speaker compression, the individual<br />

detail sounded great on clean guitars. Acoustic Guitars:<br />

Nice highs <strong>and</strong> good detail. Vocal: Airy with good balance<br />

<strong>and</strong> detail. Drums: Very good; the lower toms could be<br />

tubby but not on every example. Synth Pads: Lush with good air. Percussion:<br />

Good transients <strong>and</strong> definition. Cymbals: Nice airy details <strong>and</strong> transients.<br />

Michael Deni Responds About his <strong>Truth</strong> Monitors<br />

"Hi Shannon, Happy Holidays. I have had the TA-1Ps for a couple days now.<br />

I've logged about 5 hours on them so far. I have been reluctant to review them<br />

to the other Studio Owner/Engineers I am affiliated with simply because I want<br />

to add credibility to when I tell them how these things <strong>Truth</strong>-fully kick ass. Up<br />

until now I have been lied to or brutalized by every <strong>near</strong><strong>field</strong> monitor I have<br />

worked with. A wise man once said, "The <strong>Truth</strong> will set you free." :) As I keep<br />

logging time on these it is as if I am waiting to reveal a flaw or a compensation<br />

point. I still can't rule out finding something like that simply because I haven't<br />

used them in enough situations, but so far the have exceeded my<br />

expectations. One thing really nice to me is now having the ability to detect low<br />

frequency rumble or to run accurate High-pass filters. I presently do not mix<br />

with a sub-woofer. My mixes always made trips back to the board after hearing<br />

them on 5.1/7.1 systems. After my preliminary translation tests, I am predicting<br />

hours of time saved simply because how well the TA-1Ps translate. I will add<br />

that just because a NF monitor is accurate doesn't mean they won't make you<br />

jump out of a window if you listen to them too long. Usually the trade off for a<br />

warm sound is a hyped speaker. Not with the <strong>Truth</strong>. I look forward to your<br />

success." Michael Deni /Deni Digital<br />

Dan Penn Studios<br />

(Nashville, TN)<br />

"I have never heard this much low end generated by<br />

a <strong>near</strong><strong>field</strong>. I visited your booth four times during the<br />

NAAM Show <strong>and</strong> brought someone back with to hear<br />

these things every time. The lows are balanced<br />

perfectly with the <strong>mid</strong>s <strong>and</strong> highs <strong>and</strong> the cabinets<br />

are very non-fatiguing. I don’t know how you did it but<br />

these things sound incredible."<br />

to hear if the mix that you just did in your million<br />

dollar recording studio is truly GREAT. The TA-1P's<br />

make accuracy in mixing a reality. (nice slogan, huh)<br />

I'm also using a Hafler Transnova 9505 power amp. I'll be switching over to a<br />

Krell 300 soon. If you have another suggestion, I'd like to know. Thanks. By<br />

the way, check out Destiny's Child newest album, Survivor. I have one song,<br />

Independent Woman, <strong>and</strong> a few recording credits. All tracked on my TA-1P's!"<br />

"Out performs any initial expectations.<br />

The TA-1P Close Field blows me away.<br />

Blind folded I would swear these were<br />

dual 8-inch drivers. <strong>Truth</strong> has something<br />

going on with these speakers. Every time<br />

I listen to them I get something from them<br />

that I don’t seem to get from anything<br />

else. Everything I left with from my<br />

sessions translated perfectly!"<br />

Review By Rob Shrock<br />

“Considering that that I can work long hours as well as<br />

create good mixes on the <strong>Truth</strong> <strong>Audio</strong> TA-1Ps, I consider<br />

these monitors to be both an asset <strong>and</strong> a bargain.<br />

Although I believe in multiple monitoring setups for critical<br />

mixing, I would have no problem working with the TA-1Ps<br />

alone. The designers have hit their mark: the TA-1Ps<br />

reveal the truth in your mixes without tiring your ears in<br />

the process.” [Complete Review]<br />

PC RECORDING.COM<br />

"When I first listened to the TA-1Ps, I was instantly hit with<br />

details I had not heard before, particularly in the vocal <strong>and</strong><br />

acoustic guitar ranges. Mind you, some of the details<br />

showed some errors I had made on my guitar but I was pleased to hear them<br />

before final mixdown. The<br />

TA-1Ps are strongest in the <strong>mid</strong>-range with very clear <strong>and</strong> precise imaging <strong>and</strong><br />

defined discrete separation of different instruments in the recording."<br />
