Bricasti reporting continuing sales success
for remarkable Model 7 Stereo Reverb
Processor at NAMM2009 Winter Convention
Recent deliveries to Grammy® Award-winning engineer/producer Al Schmitt,
Rafa Sardina, Chris Spilfogel and Cenzo Townshend.
Anaheim Convention Center: During the NAMM2009 Winter Convention, which opens here today and runs until January 18, Bricasti Design will be providing details of recent system deliveries to a wide cross section of recording, TV broadcast and mastering facilities. The company remains committed to the international pro-audio industry; Bricasti Model 7 Stereo Reverb Processors are in service with most of the world’s premiere music and film-sound recording studios, broadcast companies, post production and audio mastering facilities.
Recent system deliveries include:
· Grammy® Award-winning Al Schmitt, who recently used an M7 during sessions at the landmark Capitol Recording Studios with singer Natalie Cole. “The M7’s clarity and ease of use are outstanding,” the engineer/producer states. “On muted brass, trumpets and vocals, in particular, the Model 7 is unmatchable. For me, it’s a major breakthrough!” Schmitt’s first experience with the Model 7 came during tracking sessions with Natalie Cole. “I had borrowed a unit from Summit Audio [Bricasti Design’s exclusive US distributor] to try out on the dates. I liked the reverb processor so much that I ended up purchasing one for myself. An external reverb like the Bricasti Model 7 is perfect for the way I work. I can quickly store and recall settings via the user-friendly front-panel layout.”

· Musician, arranger and producer Rafa Sardina, who used his pair of Model 7 processors on the Three Graces’ debut offering. “I used one M7 on vocals and the other on strings. It’s an extremely versatile unit!”
This prolific engineer/producer cites three primary reasons for buying not one but two Model 7 Stereo Reverb Processors. “Firstly, the Model 7 sounds so neutral, but cuts through a track – that’s a rare combination. Secondly, by changing the Modulation parameter I can quickly adjust the character of the reverb's tonality. Last, and by no means least, the Model 7 produces real-sounding reverbs that blend so well with a variety of tracks.”

· Independent engineer/producer Chris Spilfogel, who needed a reverb “that can act as the ‘glue’ for my mixes. As soon as I heard the M7, I was hooked; I knew that I needed one for all my projects. I couldn’t be happier.”

“What I like best about the Model 7 reverb is that it adds a three-dimensional quality to a track. During my evaluations I listened to a guitar track through the M7 – it provided the instant ‘glue’ I’d been looking for to place the instrument into the mix. Early reflections, in particular, can cause problems for most reverb units, but the Model 7 is outstanding in that respect – it adds a ‘fullness’ and reality that I haven’t heard with other stereo processors in this price range.”

· Leading UK-based producer Cenzo Townshend, who is using his new Bricasti Design Model 7 Stereo Reverb Processors within his project facility, The Bunker at London’s legendary Olympic Studios. “Although I haven't had the Model 7 very long,” Townshend confesses, “it has been used on everything I’ve mixed, including Snow Patrol’s new album, A Hundred Million Suns, singles and album tracks on Kaiser Chiefs’ new album, Off With Their Heads, and a forthcoming Howling Bells album.” Current projects include albums for Tinashe, Kinkane and Si Connolly.
“I first heard of the Bricasti Model 7 a little while before it was launched. It took a little convincing because I’m not keen on new, shiny reverbs. I was surprised at how true the Model 7 sounded compared to the real plate I’m used to - just as solid sounding but much less noise! My initial reaction was that I would have to buy one!”
