Audio Video News

Everyone should have these. A collection of movies and music that you use as references for video and audio systems.

As a professional audio engineer, I have a collection of music that I use so I can tell how a speaker system is coloring the sound. Most experts agree that to audition any system, you need to have a collection of material that you know very well. You know exactly what it should sound like or look like, so you can tell instantly how a new piece of equipment is handling that material.

But, aren't you dying to know what the pros use to audition and review systems?

The smart people at CE Pro asked a panel of industry experts to share their "go-to" list of CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs that they use. They also dish tips on why the proper choice of material is essential to the sales process.

It's information we all can use to fine-tune our systems or go shopping for something new. -Leslie Shapiro
