I’m split between the Adam Audio T7V, KRK Rokit 7 G5 and Kali Audio LP-6 2nd Wave.
I produce electronic music(house). The monitors will go in my bedroom studio which has no acoustic treatment.
Which one would be more forgiving in an untreated room and give me a more accurate low end/mix representation for electronic music?
Thanks!
I was recently gifted PreSonus Eris 3.5s as my first studio monitors, so I really don't know much about studio monitors in general. I've had them for about 2 months and haven't had issues until the last month or so (I think they are a couple years old though). I move them around quite frequently between my garage and my computer setup, both setups are connected via aux. In the garage it has a longer cable and also seems to have more issues. It would do things like the right speaker sometimes gets way quiteter than the left for many seconds sometimes even minutes before popping back in, it also sometimes produces this static noise while playing other sounds.
My thought has always been that the issues are caused by some sort of interference because of it being an aux and also having a longer cable. But now I am starting to notice the same issues on my pc setup as well, I remember at least once where the right speaker went quiter than the left and it also does the static noise thing more often than I ever noticed before. Is there something wrong with my studio monitors or is it just interference?
Hey guys, know I'm going kinda against the grain here but I'm looking for some input on a studio monitor(s?) to grab, and any would be recommendations for converting my existing setup.
I have a lil home office/studio in my basement. Yes before anyone says anything I know basement... the low ceiling sucks, but plenty of rugs, carpeted risers for my drums, couch, etc. So the room isn't perfect but enough dampening the reflections aren't basement bad, and it's better than the living room due to room shape & size. Since I have only really used the studio for consuming media since having kids, I have been wanting to convert it to atleast a 5.1 surround setup for gaming and movies.
As for the gear I currently have and am hoping to utilize: a focusrite 18i20 gen 3 interface, a pair of krk rokit 10-3 g4 tri amp monitors, and a pair of adam t7v's with an adam t10s sub. Don't mind the pictured desktop mount, I do have stands for the adams I just needed longer cords when I took that pic.
So I would be looking for atleast a studio monitor to use as a center. Push come to shove I do have a 36" 5.1 vizio sound bar set I could use. While the form factor is nice for the desk, feel it would leave much to be desired quality wise, unless I'm mistaken? It's specifically a SB3651n-H6. Also I do have a buttkicker 2 from an old elite dangerous vr simrig I made, if any of you think that would be worth incorporating for a haptic 5.2 setup. Now I'm also not opposed to going up to a 7.1 or adding some overheads, but budget will be the deciding factor there. Like any sensible person my budget is as cheap as reasonable, but I could probably budget up to around $600 for a monitor to use as a center and or any other recommendations given my setup.
I know with active monitors you want to try to match the brand/preamp of your front left, right, & center, and adams does have the a44h. But that is more than I was looking to spend at $800.
Hi!
Neumann has sent me already 2nd new kh750 dsp sub. And I’m running into same issue. When I run sine wave(especially below 50hz) through it does ticking sound.. even not on hi volume.(-30db on my MT48)
To all kh750 users, is it normal?
I'm playing both a single coil strat and a 7 string with Seymour Duncans.
I was thinking between Yamahas HS7 or Adam T7V. I don't know how the market for KRK is or if they are even ideal for guitar recording.
Will I consider buying a subwoofer too in the future ?
Hi guys! I own a pair of KRK Rokit 6 monitors which are plugged to a Focusrite 2i2. It's a home setup I built on 2021 and has worked flawlessly. But for the longest time, I have experienced a lot of static sound from one of the monitors (the one on the right). Today I swapped the XLR cables and found out the static also swapped to the left side, meaning its the cable (or so I believe).
Is there any way to drain/balance or something this cable? I specifically bought them balanced though I wouldn't know if they truly are.
Thanks in advance!
I have a KRK Rokit 8 G4 speaker and the tweeter got pushed in due to the movers mishandling it.
I’ve tried packing tape and even sucking it out but it hasn’t worked.
The vacuum I have is too weak as well.
Any ideas on how to fix it? Much appreciated.
Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking to upgrade my old KRK Rokit G3s and I’m torn between the Adam Audio T5V and the KRK RP5 Rokit G5.
I'm producing house music in an untreated bedroom. My desk is against the wall, so the monitors will be on stands but back against the wall.
My main concern: how much does front vs rear bass port actually matter?
The T5V seem generally considered better monitors overall, but since they’re rear-ported and my desk is against the wall, I’m worried about muddy or exaggerated low end. The KRKs being front-ported seem like they might work better in this kind of room.
Thanks in advance!
So had a shindig at mine and my friend brought his KRK rookit 5s and they sounded so good, done some digging and seen that the Kali audio lp-8s would be a better choice and sound much better. The kali audios have been delivered today and i know studio monitors are meant to be flat but so are the krks and they sounded nothing like these. I believe ive set the right settings up and am using a RCA in to 3.5mm jack. My question is that am i just being dumb and havent done something correctly or have i just completly bought the wrogn speaker for what im looking for? lots of people out there say the kalis are amazing for just general spotify listening but from what im hearing they really are not?
Some help would be amazing thank you
EDIT: Thank you everyone for the comments turns out im a prick a a setting in my laptops windows was turned on and make them sound absolutly horrendous
Genelec published a video yesterday about the differences in their pro vs home listening and AV models. .. First I’ve ever heard of speakers needing only an internet cable to work..Has anyone tried these before? Would they work in a studio?
It’s the last one shown in the video: https://youtu.be/bk0ySUd4u4w?si=7knBgBaHp4UvqqAd
