Fir Audio E12 Scorings
Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
C-- Expect a patchy tonal profile that makes instrumentation feel mismatched. EQ is almost mandatory to tame the response.
Average Technical Grade
E+- A foggy, one-dimensional presentation wipes out layering and obscures the finer points of a mix. Spatial cues barely register at all.
