Nashville-based producer, Fred Mollin, used LYD 48 for year, but then decided to upgrade to Core 59. So, he has first-hand experience with both of these ranges of studio monitors. And here is his take on the similarities - and differences:
“I love the LYD 48s, but found that the Core 59s were filling my home studio control room with more dimension and more powerful coverage.
Basically, LYD 48 has everything that Core 59 has, but Core 59 has more warmth, more clarity and detail, more depth of field, and obviously they’re bigger and work better when louder monitoring is needed. I also find that there’s even less fatigue if we work at a moderate level all day with the Core 59s. The truth is, they’re both brilliant monitors – but clearly, the overall sound in the studio is better with the Cores.
Finally, once we use our sub, everything becomes completely multi-dimensional. There’s a sort of cinematic sound to the Core 59s coupled with a sub.”
