I recently developed a microphone selector tool and am seeking feedback from individuals who work with microphones or audio systems. The tool is designed to help you: Filter mics by application (vocals, instruments, podcasts, streaming, Discord, Gaming, etc.) Compare key specs (polar...

[Introduction] Hello ASR community. I’ve been working on a project to push the measurement limits of a home environment, focusing on how far consumer gear can go when the electrical environment is fully optimized. I wanted to share a milestone achieved using my Yamaha Montage M as the source...

Hi all, First off, I've gained a lot of knowledge from this forum. So thanks for that. I'd like to discuss the system I'm building: a custom "hifi" system that is built with second hand components to attain the best quality of sound with the least amount of money. Now, with that last point...

Hello all, Here's some measurements of the Focusrite OctoPre MkII 8-channel microphone preamp and ADAT ADC. My unit is from 2011, so I guess you could say it's a vintage piece of gear :p. This unit can operate as a standalone analogue preamp (instrument/mic/line input direct to line output -...

If Scarlett were to design an interface/DAC specifically for an all in one 2.1 device this is what I would hope or near imagine it to look like. Big knob for main speakers and subwoofer control Small knob for headphone control Headphone 1/4" jack USB in for audio from PC Balanced Left Right...

Hi guys, I recently got two Beyma 10G-200 10" drivers on my table. I don't know where they were used before and how they were treated. Driver number 2 (Beyma 10G-200 NR2) has a small problem with the cone. It is separating on a ca. 5 cm section from the surround. I intend to repair the driver...

Hello. Here with very beginner question I believe. Recently I got second hand cd player, panasonic sl something. It’s from 90’s. Sound quality very pleasing but I also have a Scarlet focusrite laying around and thought to connect two of them, because why not? Anyway I used my cd player’s line...

Hello, I'm trying to EQ my AKG headphones which I connect to my Focusrite Scarlett. Im using the interface to play guitar and I'm using ToneX as my amp sim. I wan't to EQ so I have a good base reference for dialing in a tone in ToneX and using IR's. But my headphones have like a 10db increase...

Hello everyone, I have a pair of Genelec 8240A's and I was "driving" them via Focusrite 2i2 (2nd gen) + custom XLR Klotz cables. This was ages ago, now I want to play PC sound and stream from my Android phone (YT Music). From what I read here, I should stay digital only, something like WiiM Pro...

Hi, I have got a hiss noise issue coming from the speakers with my current setup that I use for music production (recording guitar and voice), music listening and calls. I think it is due to a USB power leakage but I would like confirmation from experts :) Attached file is a recording of the...

Hi, I like to use the audio input of my Motu M4 with the guitar and push the distortion (from the interface) to a good level. Yes of course there is constant clipping (red peak) , but the distortion is nice. My question is > will this clipping break my audio interface? Thanks Daniel

I have a Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th gen. It's clean and has a fair amount of power but I want smoother mids to highs, wider soundstage and more full bass. I was thinking of connecting an amp to output 3-4 on my Scarlett. Any DX3 Pro+ users with a similar setup? Do I simply get 1/4 to coax...

Hi all, i'd like to get an used Focusrite Scarlett. I'm no expert of the brand, but it was suggested to me by many people i know who are into home recording. Since i'm a newbie and mainly a hobbyst, i'm leaning towards getting an used one (i think the 4i4 should meet my needs), just to cut my...

I have M1 Max and Focusrite 2i2 2nd gen. After waking up from sleep, the interface will not turn on most of the time and needs to be reconnected. I've been using a USB hub (not powered btw) to work this around. It's a notorious problem, but I hoped that it's just because the 2i2 is pretty old...

The interface has two 1/4 inch output lines, one for each speaker and the KRKs have one XLR female and 1/4 inch combined input each one. Would this be good? It's a XLR Male to 1/4 inch TRS balanced cable...

I'll be using them with my PC to listen to music, watch movies, play games always at nearfield position and I'd like a very good sound quality, I won't be doing any music production, mixing, recording... I have no specific budget. I'm giving 2 examples. Speakers: ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2...

I want to upgrade to studio monitors for my gaming setup, I play games, watch movies, listen to music and I'd like the best audio quality possible for my budget (500€), although I don't have a limited/specific budget, it's an objective for me and I could save money if it'd be worth it to get...

Hello all, I had a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd Gen that I have been very happy with, using it for playing/recording instruments and also simply listening to music on my computer. I recently sold it to buy a Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen because I needed two extra inputs, and I was surprised by the...
