FlyLo Gets Some Help from Ocean Way Audio
Last month, Flying Lotus outfitted his L.A. studio with Ocean Way Audio’s HR3.5 monitor system, including dual S18A powered 18” sub woofer cabinets. “For me, the test of a good monitor system is how it sounds on other speakers,” said FlyLo. “The first place I go is out to the car and take a little ride. These monitors sound great in my studio and when I finished a song, I listened in my car and it was perfect.”
