Welcome! What's On Your Mind?

LUXURY LISTENING

Imagine the dad in your life coming home after a long day at work. Whether he's been downtown at the office, in a back corner of the shop, or even just down the hall in his at-home studio, chances are high he's spent the majority of his day listening to sounds that, while necessary for his work, were nonetheless underwhelming. Horns honking during the commute; co-workers droning on in meetings; phone calls projecting through tinny earpieces.

None of these sounds struck joy in his heart. 

Once dad's home and settled in for the evening, however, he can enjoy some luxury listening on his high-end Revel speakers.

• Home screenings of classic movies
• Favorite studio albums
• Video chatting
• Podcast binging
• Top-notch gaming

After we gift our fathers some high-end audio equipment, all their listening experiences from that point forward will be amplified through top-quality speakers. 

SOME MANLY OPTIONS

Whether dad hangs out in the living room with everyone else or likes to retreat to his own space to enjoy his downtime, the high-end audio options available from your Houston Revel dealer, Echo Workshop, are sure to fit right in.

LISTENING ROOMS

The right setting can make a profound difference in the quality of music you listen to. Consider the difference in sound between a symphony played in a skillfully designed opera house and one played in a high school gymnasium, for instance. Even if the music and performers were the same, the contrast in quality would be obvious. Or maybe consider how much better your singing voice becomes in the acoustically friendly environment of your shower compared to how it normally sounds.

Many factors go into engineering a high-caliber listening room: room geometry, acoustic treatments, and soundproofing, to name a few. An end result is a place that will provide you with the best possible interaction between the sound waves of your music and your ears. An opera house in your home. Transforming a room into a listening room is an investment that is worth every penny when you can close your eyes and listen to something beautiful and forget where you are.

Proper room design, however vital, is just one aspect of the journey. The medium you play your music on is integral to orchestrating a sublime auditory experience.

VINYL

Vinyl records bring a level of audio fidelity every bit equal to that of digital media. Some connoisseurs even prefer the warm sound and characteristic crackles which precede the music. Yet, the real power of vinyl comes from its effects on the mind.

Vinyl records hearken back to a time when the music somebody owned was a part of who they were. Instead of having immediate access to essentially every song ever made via streaming, people had only a precious few albums available to them. They would listen over and over, carefully placing the needle each time, becoming intimately familiar with every skip and jump in the track. Maybe this was something you yourself did in times past.

MAXIMIZE YOUR LISTENING EXPERIENCE

As a form of communication, music can play a big role in social bonding. Rhythm inclines us to move to the beat, which drives groups to sing, dance, or clap together. Plus, listening to music together can help a group grow closer; it gives them more to talk about and creates shared emotional experiences they can reminisce on together. 

On National Drummer Day, you aren't going to get the best listening experience by sticking in your headphones and listening on your own. Sure, you might be able to hear the underlying beat of your favorite tunes, but you'll miss out on all the benefits of listening to music as a group! Have some friends over, turn on the speakers, and enjoy a great night of bonding over the rhythm. Sharing your listening experience will enhance your celebration, along with improving your relationships. 

GREAT SPEAKERS, GREAT SOUND

It goes without saying that having high-quality speakers will make your music sound better. But what makes a great set of speakers?

Great speakers will emphasize the beat without letting it overpower the rest of the instruments. When your speakers are high-quality, you'll be able to feel every sound wave passing through your body—meaning a speaker upgrade will make your National Drummer Day unforgettable.
