Frequently Asked Questions
The combination provides a more complex, layered sound; the Greenbacks add warmth while the Vintage 30s provide clarity and articulation, offering a broader tonal palette than a single speaker type.
While it’s more focused than an open-back, it's still quite usable for recording; it'll provide a tighter low-end and more defined mid-range, which can be tamed with mic placement and EQ.
Friedman's construction and speaker voicing offer a distinctive character, often described as having a more aggressive and articulate response compared to some competitors, especially in the mid-range.
