Hey sorry if this part was covered already. What about monitors in the studio set up? I have powered monitors but probably should upgrade to better ones... and...
Jeannie, The Mackie article really tells the whole story. Beside the wiring nightmare (especially when you go beyond 2 speakers), powered monitors make a lot...
We're using Rokit's for control room monitoring at the Laserium Cybertheater. I prefer them to the JBL's we're using for the mains. At home it's Hafler's,...
Jeannie, I have passives (JBL 4208) and I love them, but next time around I'll probably get actives. When my 7 y.o. was 2, he stuck his fingers in the...
Jeannie, I don't have the technical knowledge to comment about the active vs. passive thing (except that usually you get what you pay for) but whatever...
... If you have one set of monitors then active is very cost-effective. It can get a bit pricey if you have a lot of monitors and already have invested in a...
... I have a Fostex PM0.4 and PM0.5 Sub 2.1 system that I found very early on as a package deal (still available for about $280). The monitors are small and...
Jonathan, this sounds like a universal concept that can illustrate people's personal taste for speaker systems and audio quality in general. In the end, it's...
... *Even thought the Genelecs and the Mackies use (used?) the same HF driver, the Mackies always sounded better on the high end to me (not as harsh but just a...
... The first Genelecs like the 1019A (I've still got a pair, although not in regular use) were produced in -79. Dunno if they were the first, though. Otso...
... I love my Focal monitors, the detail they reveal is amazing. MM reviewed Focal's new CMS 50 and 65 powered monitors in the most recent issue of Recording....
... And once again we get into "good sounding" versus accurate. I find that I want brutally accurate monitors for tracking and sound creation, and relatively...
... And then we get to the question: "What are people actually meaning when they describe audio monitors using terminology more commonly used in the context of...
Wow, 1967 - what I should have said is that I started using powered monitors (1986) when they entered the mainstream. I also used (non- powered) "dual...
... I don't think that's the case. You learn how "perfect" things need to be, much as a graphic artist knows when an image needs to be pixel accurate and when...
... As a graphic designer I agree 100%. Today's large LCD displays are much better than the old CRT's; seeing every pixel clearly helps me get work done faster...
... Wow! Dual concentric... I always liked the idea but have never had the opportunity to hear any in action. :-( ... Amen! And great advice. Listen to a...
... Mixing and mastering are indeed very different tasks. Which is why you'll see very different monitors in mastering studios than production studios. Ivan...
