studio monitor

Hello everything is fine? I'm looking for suggestions for ADC components for use in 3-way studio monitors. I look for ADCs that excel in specific frequency ranges, aiming to ensure the best sound quality in each range. 1. For BASS, I need a carefully selected component that is capable of...

Hey, so I have following problem: my KEF LSX broke down after only 2 years and 11 months. I sent them to KEF already but I have a feeling that it will cost me some money I am not willing to spend on these speakers anymore. That’s why I was looking around for a replacement and I am thinking about...

Hello all, I have aquired a pair of second hand EVE audio SC208 which are behaving erratically. One of them have Flickering LEDs on startup but eventually works (until i restart it). The other one is dead. I'm pretty sure is due to the power supply. The only fix i had is from this guy that...

Hi all, making my first post here after being on "reading" mode for some time! I'm looking to buy a budget pair of monitors. Their primary use would be to listen to my own instrument while recording it, and critically listening to music. I also intend to make my own music as a hobby. I don't...

Hi everyone, i have the swissonic x8, 3-way studio monitors from thomann musicstore, they were 530 euro for a pair. I’m also considering adding a subwoofer later. I’m wondering if i could get something better for this price level, but there isn’t alot of info or tests on these. Could anyone...

Brief overview: Klein + Hummel O110, around 15 years old, making noises as seen in the video below. Quite temperamental tweeter electricity noise, started around 3 months ago, 60% of the time it works perfectly fine, it is unusable when this happens. The noise still happens when XLR cable is...

So I sold off some gear, and instead of being a financially wise man, I decided that I needed a proper pair of studio monitor. I'm choosing between two pairs: - Klein + Hummel O110 in very good condition, for SGD650 (USD470, EUR455) - Kali LP6 (not V2) brand new in box, for SGD500 (USD375...

My lovelies, I have got the following offers: - Neumann KH 420: 5800/pair - Genelec 8361: 8500/pair - Genelec 8341: 4100/pair - Quested 208: 1600/pair (need to buy an amp for this, so please suggest one as well if you guys decide to go with this option) I mostly produce and mix techno...

Hey, I currently having issues with my setup Audient EVO 4 + Fiio K5 Pro. It picks up noise from the USB and outputs it over the Cinch to my Swissonic A306 Monitors. Thomann told me this is caused because I use unbalanced outputs. While trying to fix this I found that using the Toslink of my PC...

Hello guys, I work in film and tv audio post production (Dialogue editing,sound design,foley...) and currently looking to buy a new set of studio monitors suitable for my work. I was using the Adam audio T7V but now i moved to a smaller room and looking for an upgrade. i'm looking for 4" or 5"...

Hello all, This will be a summary of (many :)) measurements I did with the Neumann KH 120A that I recently purchased. The pair were manufactured in 2013 and sport the older, IMO slightly industrial looking finish: A few notes on measurement methodology: The loudspeaker has been measured at...

Hi, I wonder what speakers would be worth to pair with the D90SE Would the Genelec 8030C Studio Monitors be good? I'd prefer to have my setup with no sub as I live in a flat on a 2nd floor and below me there is a dental clinic room and I don't want to bother anyone (Lulz), I never turn my...

Google search for "studio monitor base plate" and "studio monitor isolation base" turned up nothing. They do not look like the usual angled foam, and instead look like metal? Image is from Adam Audio Twitter page. I know the Studio monitors are sitting on some Isoacoustics product, but I am...

I intend to switch from an Audiophonics Hypex Ncore NC252MP amp paired with some old speakers to an active system. So after some consideration my preference would be to try out the Genelec 8030c (balanced XLR in). My current gear and which I would like to integrate: Topping E30+L30 (RCA out) as...

Moved studio monitors from corners to ~30% the length of the side walls closer. They are near the sidewalls, per Genelec recommending keeping them closer, or if there is space making sure they are more than 1.1 meters from the wall. this follows the first rule for the side walls, and the second...

Hey all! First time posting here. So glad to find this forum as I'm a believer in measurements to help dispel all the marketing we are saturated with! I run a mixing and mastering studio and I'm looking to upgrade my monitors that served me well the last 10 years (Dynaudio BM5A). I'm in a...

https://www.pioneerdj.com/en/product/monitor-speakers/vm-80/black/overview/ I saw an article on these when they were released a few weeks ago. Mainly what caught my eye was the looks (especially the VM-80 8-inch model), yes I admit looks occasionally play a part in my decision making. Tried to...

Hello there, I have a question. I'm going to calibrate my Kali-Audio LP6 in an acoustically treated room. I will use -20 dB rms pink noise. How I imagine this process - I will place SPL-meter on a "sweet-spot", and then calibrate every monitor individually to -83 dB. My audio-interface is...

I saw a similar concept on a headphone forum I follow, I thought it would be great/fun to get a list running of ranked Studio monitors/powered speakers with the great community here. I am a new member but have been following the threads on here for a while List/rank the studio monitors/powered...

I am about to pull the trigger on the Topping A90 (unless there are other alternatives that are as good for less?) I notice there is a pre-amp out in the back with XLR. I currently own and mainly use the Adam T7V Powered studio monitors, what came into mind during this is I read somewhere...
