Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen & Sennheiser HD 560S

scan pro audio exclusive bundle Our experts at Scan Pro Audio have created a fantastic bedroom producers bundle comprised of the hugely popular Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen Audio Interface, and Sennheiser's HD 560S Open-Back Headphones. Below is a message from our very own studio and headphones expert Tom Francis with regards to this superb all-in-one package.

"People often ask what studio headphones they should get without spending hundreds of pounds and one of my absolute favourites is the Sennheiser HD560S, so we've paired them up with some of our favourite inexpensive interfaces , with powerful, quiet mic preamps that will give any bedroom producer a real head start.

HD560S have got a well balanced tone, with deeper bass extension than the more expensive studio staples, HD600 & HD650, so a lot more suitable for electronic producers. The bass is not over-emphasised, unlike most closed back models at the same price, following more closely the 'mastering suite' flat type response than something designed for music listening. They have a tiny 2dB rolloff at 35Hz (C#1), which is really as low as you should go for 99% commercial music if you want it to play back properly on most big systems. You'll definitely get a lot better translation mixing bass on these headphones than in any small room, however much acoustic treatment you have!

As with all monitoring, find a playlist of your favourite well mixed songs and learn the small individualises of the headphones and the balance of tone you should aim for "
