Parrot Zik Tuned by Lou Reed
Parrot Zik Tuned by Lou Reed
Parrot developed new headphones using ground- breaking technology to create a truly immersive sound. The Zik are designed around a powerful processor that spatializes sound and recreates the acoustics of a concert hall. Three months ago, Lou Reed was asked for his opinion. He said that the headphones were well tuned for classical music but not for rock. And he said he could help.
So on September 30th, 2013, the Parrot engineers travelled to his studio in New York; it would be the last time they would see him. Working alongside his experienced sound engineer as well as Parrot Zik’s acoustic designers, Lou Reed used his personal mastering studio to program the Zik as if he were adjusting the balance for one of his own performances. You can now experience the extraordinary results by using a special control on the Parrot Audio Suite app for iPhone® or Android™. Thank you Lou.
