After reading about the NS10 speakers on Wikipedia, I learned that the Tieton membrane is made of a sheet of paper.
This fact raises the question: How can speakers known for their subpar sound be used for mixing?
It is a known fact that they are indeed used. They are also utilized for home listening, as mixes created on these monitors sound best on the NS10 at home. However, the major challenge lies with those who own linear speakers and must listen to recordings where 5 dB are missing from 1 kHz, and the bass ends at 80 Hz.
By the way, I noticed that when analyzing the impedance curve, the NS10 exhibits the following parameters: F0=100Hz, Qtc=0.83. These parameters are almost ideal for Dolby home cinema. When combined with an RXA filter set at 80 Hz, an acoustic Linkwitz Riley 24 dB/octave is created.
Upon comparing the characteristics of the NS10 and LS3/5a, I understood that I need to replicate my linear speakers using EQ corrections to listen to old recordings mixed on these monitors.
Currently, I am listening to a playlist found on the internet on Spotify titled "Rogers LS3/5a." What do you think is the reason behind creating this playlist? In conclusion, both were measured by Amira:
