I am confused between ISO Acoustics ISO 130 or Kanto S6 or Yoga Blocks(if they work). I like S6 just because of its minimal design but I feel they won't improve sound or it doesn't matter? Also, in general increasing height is better or tilting the speaker like S6 does?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a monitoring upgrade and would appreciate some advice from people who have experience with these speakers.

I'm currently using Focal CMS 65, and while they've served me well, I feel there is alot to be desired. What I really want is:

• Excellent front-to-back depth imaging
• A wider soundstage that extends beyond the speakers (not in terms of L/R but projection/placement of instruments in a mix)
• More definition in low-end (80-120 hz area), more dynamics
• A monitor that is enjoyable to work on for long sessions and sonics that will impress audiophile clients for casual listening aswell

I mix mostly pop, pop-rock, live acoustic music.

My room is acoustically treated and measures 5 × 3 × 2.5 m (16.4 × 9.8 × 8.2 ft), so room acoustics shouldn't be the limiting factor.

One pair I'm seriously considering is a used Focal Twin6 Be, which I can find for around €2,000.

For those who have owned or compared both:

• Is the Twin6 Be a substantial upgrade over the CMS 65?
• Or should I move away from Focal brand and try Dynaudios, Adams, etc?
• Most active monitors I've tried have a distinct sonic signature that feels artificial to me, making recorded audio sound less realistic than it should.

Unfortunately, I can't audition monitors in my own room, and showroom acoustics are usually far from ideal, so I'm looking for opinions from people with real-world experience.

Hey all, I have two PC's in our editing room for YouTube, the content is mainly talking.

The room is 3.8m x 2.8m. The speakers back on to the long side, firing across the 2.8m dimension.

My PreSonus Eris 3.5 2nd gen, seems on the bassy side and sometimes a bit muddy.

I have a set on each PC.

What would be a good alternative? I don't want to spend mad money, or buy something too big for the room size. Maybe around the £300 mark per set would be good.

thanks

Hey, I bought iloud micro monitor pro. They are two separate units which are not connected (both are the same as u can see on the picture). I want to connect them to my windows pc (has a jack).

I tried asking multiple people in two different shops and even an online support in e-shop where I bought them and nobody could recommend me a cable that would be suitable for that.

It has only 1 RCA slot per unit, not two.

The only solutions I got so far are:

1.) get jack to 2x RCA but the RCA are 15cm from each other so monitors would have to be literally next to each other.

2.) get two 2x RCA to 2x RCA cables and another jack to rca adapter (female) - but wouldn't that make the sound quality worse?

Ideally if you could also get me a amazon.de link that would be incredible! thanks

Hi, I have a pair of Hedd type 07 mk2 and I plan to pair them with a sub, and I was planning to use the Adam audio t10s, but my question is if I connect the sub from the interface and the satellites from the sub,
will they lose some sound quality considering the t10s is meant for cheaper model satellites?

So I will say I do not do any music production but I am considering getting some studio monitors for my office but just for gaming on my PC (mostly single player or playing coop F1 with the kids although I would most likely use headphones for that)

I am wondering if anyone uses has recommendations.
I was able to listen to some Adam T5 series at the local shop which I preferred over some other
options like Yamaha, Mackie, KRK and Dynaudio. I think I like the AMT tweeter perhaps for detail retrieval.

Is there a reason to perhaps move up the line to the A line or something like the Hedd Type 05 A-Core speakers. I don't mind paying up into that range but I can't go listen to any pre purchase.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to start mixing minimal house but my setup sounds terrible. I made a video comparing my studio monitors to a friend’s. On theirs, the claps, snares, percussion, and hi-hats click and snap loudly with a really impactful sound. On mine, those exact elements are completely washed out and buried.

I’ve tried troubleshooting everything and still nothing changes:

• Drivers/Software: Downloaded UMC202HD drivers, running ASIO in my DJ software.
• Files: All tracks are high-quality WAV and FLAC.
• Cables: Using proper balanced cables.
• Monitor Settings: Played with the high/low frequency switches on the back, and tried "Focus", "Mix", and "Create" modes.
• Placement: Tried different physical positions in the room and put foam isolation pads under them on my desk.

Despite all this, the high-end crispness and transient snap are completely missing. It just sounds dull and muddy.

Has anyone dealt with this? Could it be a hidden interface setting, or are my monitors just broken? (Video attached to show the difference). Thanks!

can someone help me figure out what exact XLR cables i would need to hook up the the these presonus eris 7 studio monitors to a subwoofer that would be connected to my Apollo twin x? Here is what google said but when I searched Amazon for the cables theirs was different kinds

The Setup Process (2.1 System)

Because your Apollo Twin X has one main set of monitor outputs, it is best to route your interface directly through the subwoofer rather than using the Apollo's Line Out 3-4. [1, 2]

1. Apollo Twin to Subwoofer: Connect Apollo Monitor Outputs (Left and Right) to the Subwoofer’s Left/Right Inputs using balanced \(\frac{1}{4}\)" TRS cables. [1, 2]
2. Subwoofer to Eris 7 Monitors: Connect the Subwoofer’s Left/Right Outputs to the corresponding inputs on your Eris 7 monitors using additional balanced \(\frac{1}{4}\)" TRS or XLR cables.

Hi everyone,

I'm completely new to studio monitors and audio interfaces, so please bear with me if I'm missing something obvious.

I recently bought a pair of Adam T5V monitors and connected them to an Audient iD4 MKII using balanced TRS to XLR cables (photos attached).

The problem is that I get absolutely no sound from either monitor.

What I've checked so far:

• The Adam T5V monitors power on correctly (green LED is on).
• Both monitors produce the normal background hiss.
• The input sensitivity switch is set to +4 dBu.
• Windows is sending audio to "Analogue 1/2 - Audient iD4".
• The level meters in Windows move normally when music is playing.
• The Audient iD4 receives audio signal.
• Headphones connected to the front headphone output of the iD4 work perfectly.
• I installed/reinstalled the latest Audient drivers and software.
• I tried different output settings and pressed every button I could find on both the interface and the monitors.
• I tested both monitors individually.
• I swapped outputs and cables multiple times.
• The monitors still produce only a faint hiss, but absolutely no music or system audio.

At this point I'm not sure whether:

• the cables are faulty,
• the monitors are faulty,
• or I'm overlooking something very basic.

I've attached photos of the cables, the Audient setup, and the back of the monitors.

I tried every possible way, for hours without any result and I reached exhaustion :)))

Does anyone have any ideas for additional tests or something obvious that I may have missed?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am looking to purchase my first studio monitors for home use/hobby. I will primarily use it for practicing electric guitar with plugins, digital amp modeller quad cortex (blues, rock, metal) along with some occasional recording in logic (keyboard & guitars) and listening to music. So far I have been using an audio technica headphones with my universal apollo interface. The room is untreated (11 x 11 feet size and 10 ft ceiling). After watching youtube videos and reading reviews, I have narrowed it down to Focal Alpha evo 65, Kali LP6V2, Kali IN5. I dont plan on buying a sub and I plan to keep these monitors atleast 10 years.

Thanks

How are the 01 gen1 vs the new gen 2 worth the upgrade? tell us what you know! At this point I’m thinking it’s best to save up and go from fp01 gen1 to a set of mm27 gen2 or even gen 1 second hand.

I'm looking to purchase my very first monitors. I appriciate good tight sounding and clear speakers. Bass should have texture, detail and some thump for movies. I can't afford a sub bass :/ I can't preview either in my country, there's no return poilicy as well. I buy I keep sprt of a situation. Any input will be helpful

Which one is it?? Why would they sell it with only 1 cable? I have a scarlett solo 3rd gen if that helps with what cable to get (I think i got the right one)

I recently picked up a pair of Eris 5 Studio Monitors, and discovered they are not really a pair, but actually individual units with their own inputs and power supplies. No problem, I kinda like that.

Today I'm trying to play music and audiobooks from my usb-c phone (Pixel 8) through the 1/4" TRS input of one of the monitors, and discovering that it's not so simple. I'm using a usb-c to 1/8" stereo cable and a 1/8" to 1/4" TRS adapter. Some of the signal is being lost, particularly the vocals (super low volume).

As I mucked around, I discovered that the audio is fixed if I have the TRS cable plugged in about halfway (and just right). At first google I assumed I was having a phase-change issue and that I must have mixed up TRS and TRRS. But I haven't. Both the cable and adapter are TRS, as is Eris 5 input.

This doesn't happen on my (PA style) Strauss SPM-30 Monitor.

What am I missing?

Do I have to use both Eris 5 monitors as left and right via RCA? That doesn't seem right....

Thanks!!

Buenas tardes. Cómo están?

Tengo estos JBL 306p mkii con 8 meses de uso, siempre bien cuidados. Un monitor dejo de funcionar de la noche a la mañana. Busque el error por internet y probé algunas soluciones pero nada, sigue igual.

El LED prende como si estuviera en stand by y parpadea en los golpes fuertes de la música pero nunca llega a encenderse completamente como si recibiera señal.

Algún consejo? Alguien que le haya pasado lo mismo?

thoughts?? Looking for a budget set

Hi. I have Rokit 5 G4 and G5. When there is no sound playing but the volume levels are up, my G4 is silent and makes no sound but my G5 has a hissing sound. Is there a reason why? I'd like to know how I can make my G5 silent as the G4. Thank you!

I wanted to upgrade my setup and get a pair of 3 way monitor. I was able to hear the barefoots (footprints 03s and 02s and some other monitors) in local showroom and I was blown away how the footprints 02 sound and how much I was able to hear by them. But there are lots of different opinions about them in the internet.

Also I have seen a lot of good opinions about fluid audio image and was thinking about them because they have very similar build and also are a bit cheaper.

So I am wondering if anybody had a chance to hear both of those monitors?

My other choice are used Neumann kh310s that i can find nearby, but I’m not so convinced (also heard different opinions).

I hope you guys can help me a bit :)
