Tell us which Studio Monitors do you use?

Hey there, nice to meet you all.

I use Adam A7’s with the ADAM Sub8 and of course a good transparent monitoring controller (New Old Sounds McOne).

I would warmly recommend this setup to every author as it sounds great, but most important is versatile, good for any type of music / audio related work.

Hi guys,

I just bought my self a pair of Adam F7 as a slight (or not so slight?!) improvement to my Behringer Truth 2030A.

I knew it before, but now I am even more convinced how much of an important role the studio monitors play in producing/mixing/mastering process. I mean, they give you the whole picture of what you are doing, or you are comparing with while you are listening other people’s work.

The difference I see now with my upgrade is huge: I have cleaner more concrete sound and wide specter of frequency responses which gives me more precise picture of what I am doing and what I want to achieve with my songs.

So which studio monitors do you use and have you made a comparison in quality with your ‘ex’-pair of monitors?

Yamaha HS8 sounds great. Give you a true sound.

by the time I had pair of KRK Rokit 5 G2, but due to bad room conditions I use only headphones these days :wink:

Hi! I usually use Yamaha HS-80M in pair with headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 770 ). I found this stuff the most useful for me and my workflow.

Just wondering, how much of you using for shit control laptop speakers? May be you compose on laptop speakers and then mixing on your monitors?

I usually do it while (and after) mastering process. That really helps to hear music as a common listener.

My good 'ol Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones are primarily what I use for mixing :smiley: They are a wicked-great set of cans and are excellent for accurate mixing with true, uncoloured sound.

I also use a conventional set of Logitech speakers to see how the average consumer might hear my tracks.

Great monitors! I paired mine with a sub to better hear the low end and I’m more than satisfied.

Yamaha HS50M

I use IKey Audio m808, It sounds good, but some frequencies decorate

My new Focal Apha 65 arrived today. Guys, this is gorgeous! Very detailed mids, deep lows and silky smooth highs

I bought ten years ago the Danish dynadio BM5A monitors. They are really precise the only thing I find the lack of low freqs. You can complete them with a subwoofer made by Dynaudio but I think it can get too expensive, so I normally do the mix with both speakers/headphones to get the low freqs reference.

Just upgraded from KRK Rokit5 to Dynaudio BM6a mki and also use Focal Spirit Pro headphones.

Just upgraded Samson Resolv SE6 to Genelec 8030A.

I went from JBL 4328s to Neumann KH120s. A world of difference, for the better of course.

Now I work with Genelec 8020 + sub 5040

I have the Yamaha MSP5 active monitors. I did use KRK Rokits for a while but moved to the Yamahas. The bass response and translation is much better than the Rokits.
