studio monitors

Hi! I recently got Presonus Eris Studio 5 and Eris Sub 8Bt (as an upgrade for Edifier R1600TIII) and I'm a little surprised with the amount of hiss present in Eris 5 monitors. I did all the troubleshooting and I'm sure what I'm hearing is self noise of Eris 5. I still have some time to return...

Hello everyone! I’m new to this community and would love to get your thoughts and expertise on choosing a decent pair of desktop speakers. I used to have the Kali IN-5, which I used for producing electronic music, but I sold them when I moved. Now I’m planning to get a new pair that will better...

Dear Forum contributors: hi everyone. I need your advice. I'd like to set up a system with a pair of Yamaha HS8 studio monitors and—here's the peculiarity—not one but a pair of Yamaha HS8-S subwoofers. So it wouldn't be a 2.1 system but a "2.2" (or, better said, a pseudo-3-way). The goal is for...

https://mypicsonline.net/archive/archives.telex.com/archives/EV/Speakers/EDS/Sentry%20100A%20EDS.pdf See above, the documentation for Electro-Voice Sentry 100A studio monitors. Looks like a competently designed speaker and one I might have a line on for a reasonable price (in need of new...

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with the age old problem of ground loops, or more accurately, ground loops and EMI interference. My signal chain is as follows: PC (HDMI) --> TV (HDMI ARC) --> Wiim Ultra (RCA to XLR) --> JBL 308P MKII Without my PC turned on, I can hear some buzz and interference...

Since my trusted LSR305 have been sitting in the closet for 5 years, I decided to have fun. The LSR305 and LSR308 share the same PCB and are using a DSP for the per-driver EQs. Sure enough, there are strap resistors that tell the control MCU which speaker it is driving. So, I switched the LSR305...

I think the Genelec 8380A’s 15″ woofer is built on PHL’s 5510MNdS platform—most likely an OEM-tuned variant. Visually, the bolt positions and count match, the cone has 11 concentric corrugations, and there’s a front-side coated, glossy black finish that looks very similar to the 5510MNdS (PHL...

Hi guys I have owned a pair of LP-8’s for around 2 years, quite pleased with them, my friend now wants to buy them off of me for a good price, and I have the money to buy a pair of IN-8’s Is there a huge difference ? See pics of my LP-8’s currently on the wall brackets, I have them...

Very interesting speakers. Has anyone been able to listen to them yet? Looks like a good competitor to kali lp-unf, adam d3v. Especially in vertical directivity.

Hi, I know Amir has tested the T5V and T8V both with positive outcomes. Does anyone have any insight if the T7V follows suit? The t8V is too big for my stands and, additionally, due to my setup, the tweeters would be above slightly above my ear level which isn't advised according to the review...

I am in the Nashville Tn area and I want to look for a new pair of Passive Studio Monitors and use REW RTA option to collect the data. I want to focus on the speakers/monitors not the room right now. The studio has been in operation since 2006 and at that time we did the Control room testing...

Hey there! I have a question you guys might be able to answer for me. I’m trying to set up my active studio monitors with the topping dx9 but a little confused as to what settings the topping needs to be set on. Im using balanced XLR cables. The options on the topping are: Out mode: All...

Hello everyone! I'm currently trying to make some measurements with MA-1 for newly bought KH120 II monitors, but after correction one of my monitors (the left monitor) is for some reason slightly louder than the other, and when I apply the backplate settings everything goes back to the default...

Hi! I'm currently planning to upgrade my audio listening setup and I eventually plan to get powered speakers to replace my current Kali LP-UNFs. My bedroom is 13.5 ft x 12ft x 9ft, with the speakers on my desk at roughly arms length. The speakers sit in between the gaps for my 3 Displays...

Hello, I’ve been scouring the internet for answers to this question and finding mixed answers. I’m aware that lots of people tend to regurgitate what they read online, rather than speak from true experience or education. I’m finding one camp of people saying rear-ported monitors should not be...

Hi. I have seen many posts and articles where they show how to analyze and get flat response curves for speakers. However, none of them show how the frequency response of a well treated room looks like. Then I found this video: And from what I understand is that, flat frequency response studio...

I recently built some desktop speakers from concrete, and I am trying to understand my measurements. I am quite happy with the overall sound, but they are definitely missing some base. I am using a Dayton Audio DS135-8 woofer with a Peerless Tymphany BC25SC08-04 tweeter and crossed them at...

I think I captured the difference in sound from speakers placed directly on your desk compared to decoupled speakers on stands. You can clearly hear the difference because speakers on desk are actually LOUDER, but that's the desk vibrations adding to the volume and the bass. How can I improve...

Dear colleagues, Since my search for a dedicated recommendations thread was unsuccessful, I'm hoping here is a good place. If I missed something, please excuse me. I am using a pair of active Neumann KH120 speakers with my TV and for now I have them connected with a random DAC from Amazon. I'm...
