A musical exhibition of our acclaimed True Stereo technique. True Stereo is one of the most faithful techniques around and gives an honest, uncoloured interpretation of the music, making it perfect for instrumental or acoustic live studio performances. Frequently, natural ambiences like Churches or Concert Halls provide a richer, as-live, environment to set the instrumentation.

Naim's True Stereo recording technique is derivative of simple stereo pair micking and is one of the most innovative in the book. Despite this though, it is one of the most challenges to get right and a great deal of attention to detail is required. Not only the relationship between bass and treble, but the balance of left and right, the instrumental mix itself and the prominence natural ambience are al factors that once to tape, cannot be tampered with or remixed, so the microphones and musicians must be placed with mathematical precision.

Part of the artistic edge of our True Stereo recordings in the realm of jazz, is that our acclaimed Chicago based engineer, Ken Christianson, sits back and captures the session, giving the artists the freedom to self-produce. In this approach there is liberty to record whatever material the artist feels comfortable with. No interference from the engineer, the label and not even a producer as such: Complete creative freedom.
