monitor

I posted this before as a question/answer in another thread, and @staticV3 mentioned that I should start a new thread about my question. (I know, another one who needs advice about monitors...) Anyway, I'll elaborate a bit on my situation. I'm setting up a room in my new house as a home studio...

Hey audio peeps. I'm in need of some education since I can't make sense of what's happening in my setup. I'm using a couple of DACs at the moment which are an SMSL DS100 and a UA Volt 2 interface, both USB powered, both connected to a pair of Kali LP6. I was trying to use the DS100 as my...

Has anyone seen measurements of Swissonic V8 or A308? I know there is one for A306 done by Erin, but can't find any data for those larger models. At least frequency response should be available somewhere. The official spec sheet is pretty basic (I guess there is nothing else other than the...

Hi everyone, I’m planning to make some changes to my gaming room, which is about 11 square meters (4.2m in length and 2.5m in width). Along the entire top wall, I’ve decided to set up three desks. One desk will be dedicated to electronics (PC, 3D printer, etc.), another will be for manual work...

Is Genelec really worth the money over Kali? Looking for nearfield coaxial monitors to upgrade from Adam T5V, listening distance 1.0-1.2 meter, desktop use directly flanking a 32" monitor, typical SPL <80dB. I specifically want coaxial to optimize response as I move slightly around in my very...

yo, I make Boom Bap beats and I want to buy monitors for my home studio, my room is untreated, the size is: 3.7m x 2.7m. I have 600$ to spend on. Help me choosing between the four or any suggestions or recommendation

The monitor we already saw a glimp from, is now out. It would cost 70K says the first rumours (which is ridiculous), but that set aside, i wonder how this works and measures. https://www.genelec.com/8381a?fbclid=IwAR31s1UZu92JE52F1Zde_lhzoZmm12je-iordMuSDUULoQnHYc7N1L8KmoA

I have a homepod (the big one) in the living room for listening to music and like the amount of bass it delivers without the need of a sub. I'm looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers for my PC, for listening music and play games. Is there a pair of hifi speakers or active monitors with...

Hi, I am looking to replace my cheap PC speakers with something much better. I set a budget to 200-300$ per speaker. I've a 160x70cm desk and 48'' inch TV on it so there is 26cm on the sides left. Also, they can't be too deep, I think max 30cm, but they will be really close to the wall. Desk is...

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've seen a lot of threads about near-field listening, but I struggle to find a concrete info about what exactly makes a speaker good for near-field listening in terms of measurements. Is it mostly linear on-axis response combined with early reflections and good directivity, or is there...

Hello! I have Focal Shape Twins with Burson Composer Dac\Preamp for my desktop setup for music, gaming and movies. So wanted to ask, what would be the logical upgrade for active near field speakers\monitors for the same application. Focal Trio6 BE? Focal Trio11 BE? Or they are better for studio...
