SoundStage! LIVE A/V Tour 2001

High End 2001 -- Frankfurt, Germany
Standout Room - Tacet Audio

Recording company Tacet Audio provided the best multichannel demonstration we heard with their original DVD-A recordings. The German company has four releases to date with an impressive release schedule of one disc per month beginning in September. The tracks we heard were recorded in several different arrangements; instruments were placed in front of the listener for a traditional soundstage with added ambience, and all around the room to simulate a relaxed atmosphere with musicians in various locations. This was no contrived surround demonstration as we have heard many times at shows. The music was natural and appropriate, as it was purpose-recorded for five-channel audio. Each disc contains both DVD-A as well as standard Dolby Digital 5.1 for those who do not have DVD-A players. Above, Roland Kistner (left) and Andreas Spreer proudly hold two of their releases.
