NORTHRIDGE, CALIFORNIA, April 11, 2007 — Showcasing the utilization of JBL LSR6300 Series studio monitors by some of the most accomplished audio professionals in the world, Beyonce‘s “B‘Day” recently earned the GRAMMYA® Award for “Best Contemporary R&B Album,” mixed by audio engineer Jason Goldstein. Goldstein, whose artist credits also include current top projects with The Roots, LL Cool J, Will Smith and Method Man, relied on the JBL LSR6300 Series studio monitors for these projects.
“Winning a GRAMMY is what every musician, producer and engineer dreams of,” Goldstein said. “It was a thrill to be part of the team of talent involved in the production of ‘B‘Day,‘ and the album‘s GRAMMY win and recognition from the Recording Academy exceeds all expectations.”
Working in Sony Music Studios in Manhattan, Goldstein mixed “B‘Day,” which was released in September 2006. Since then, “B‘Day” has sold over 2 million copies and peaked at #1 on the album sales charts. The album‘s top single, “Irreplaceable,” spent 10 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
Goldstein employed his set of JBL LSR6300 studio monitors for mix down of “B‘Day,” which he takes to all his sessions. “The 6300‘s enable me to work with absolute confidence that the record will sound precisely the same on the air as what I heard in the control room when I mixed it,” Goldstein said. “The sound has to translate between environments and playback systems, and when I use the 6300‘s I know that‘s a foregone conclusion.”
“The use of JBL LSR studio monitors by professionals of Jason Goldstein‘s caliber speaks to the intuitive functionality and sonic accuracy of the product,” said Peter Chaikin, Director of Marketing, Recording & Broadcast, JBL Professional. “We are thrilled the JBL LSR6300 Studio Monitors played a part in the production of Beyonce‘s GRAMMY-winning album and look forward to Jason‘s continued success with JBL monitors for years to come.”
