All user reviews for the Prodipe Pro 5

I was looking for "studio monitors" but also a good report qualitprix home to work, I have long worked on Genelec 1030 A have many defects they make reference number in the MATIRE, so I knew what I wanted to hear.

SONORITS

The frquence curve is not neutral but rendering low level allows, after having made a minimum knowledge to work calmly (in the apartment).

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use them for 2 weeks and frankly (oulaa I'll do the purists scream ... but hey!) Nothing to do with my 1030 A. No doubt, Prodipe strikes a blow especially with this model and especially its price , cost for most competing models, choice I would do tomorrow ... same with Superior budget.
My rating is 11/10.

Very good professional gear, solid, heavy and powerful.
Very good for beginners, amateurs like me or even for pros and home studios.
Two 2 x 75-watt amps.

SOUND

Their sound is very clean and enough for me, I use them with a Yamaha MG102c mixer.
Very good stereo image, good dynamic response and precision.
Also to work in a small editing studio for beginners.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using them since 2012, so it's been 2 years and 6 months that I've used these active Prodipes.
I've used other models, too: The 2x30-watt active Yamaha, from June 1995 to 2005, very good quality.
Quality and price, not expensive for pros. Price: 249 euros.
Would I buy them again? Yes.

Thank you Prodipe & Audiofanzine.

Personally, I heard several monitors and I ended up choosing the Prodipe 50.
Aesthetically, they are very nice, which I like a lot. The fact that they are rectangular makes them easy to pile up (to make a small tower), so they don't take up too much space.

On the rear you can find three outputs for different setups and what I like about it is that when you plug something into all them, they all work, none of them overrides nor blocks any other one, like on many models.
The frequencies are more than enough, the audio quality is the same at high volumes.
That's why I bought two additional pairs so I have six of them that I can use for my music but also as a home cinema system (although they weren't conceived for that).

Need I say more?!
Oh, yeah, I also bought two subwoofers of the same brand!! PRODIPE.
Details: Synths:
-Nord lead 4 / electro 63
-Ultra nova / mini nova / super nova 2 XL
-Groove box MC 505/909-TR303
-Access virus TI2 keyboard
-DX7/D20
-prophet5

And I'm always expanding my music studio.

SOUND

Perfect

OVERALL OPINION

I have them since I started my studio.
Very good value for money.

Price

SOUNDS

Its unclear and very flat. Inefficient correction.
Low power.

OVERALL OPINION

Value low price.
Price and low quality.
One of amplified speakers broke down after a week of use.
I opened her up to see where the failure originated.
I discovered a printed circuit 60 years, ie Bakelite and not epoxy, horrible wiring with components in all directions .... a brief amateur realization. Chinese poor quality product.
I returned to the chamber after selling Star Paris's Music to my free service and it came back to me with a shock on an angle.
Purchase to avoid.

A pair of monitoring is essential to computer music
I needed quite powerful active speaker compose, listen to music and sound to my turntables.
For a budget - 400th I had 3 choices: KRK, Yamaha, Prodipe
Listening area has Keyboards, Yamaha were colder, more electric. KRK and Prodipe were warmest.

SOUNDS

I have not enough experience or technical capacity to accurately judge this.

However, this is the minimum required to listen to and make music. Of monitoring are essential.

OVERALL OPINION

Soon 6 years, many moves and it works!
They had a moment problems tweeter, but left as it came, the great mystery! But the case is apparently scouring, I was able to find this concern several times on various forums.
Most is the price, sound quality and beauty of the product.
You can connect the RCA and XLR same time. (No need to table to gather the different sound sources.)

Given the concern tweeter stopped and then re-worked, I should have taken the KRK ... However, it is the same design as the Prodipe.

In all cases las less than 400 (cables offered by Keyboard Space, you can enjoy a quality audio system. Do not deprive yourself because it is indispensable.

I chose these speakers for the price but I was immediately surprised by the sound enough for the home-studio.2 keyboards (ROLAND JUNO and YAMAHA TYROS) are connected to it via my mixer YAMAHA. The reproduced sound is more than adequate and the stereo image is remarkable.

SOUNDS

The frequency curve is certainly neutre.Le sound is clear and precise across the spectrum (through the mixer?). I find the stereo very good, but I use it in a very small space so it point deserves approfondi.Très good momentum.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for one year and I do it again this choice without problem but we must identify our needs and the space in which joue.Elles are very effective in a studio - 20 sqm.
I judge the quality very bon.Je money have never had a problem with the mix missed enceintes.Seul small problem: the switches on the back of each speaker is not practical to quotidien.Le most is the quality the sturdy metal used for the trunk of the speakers.

Power.
Finishes.
The price.
Quality "studio" for a large public price.

Multimedia use mainly for listening, because I like the quality and the low frequencies, for when I also mix (Dj), but I do not mix in the studio!

SOUNDS

Slightly higher for low (about 2%) but it's still acceptable.
Good stereo image.
Generally accurate across the spectrum, but should not dream, at this price it's not the top of the accuracy, but for me that's what it takes.
For dynamic, correct.

OVERALL OPINION

I're using it for six months, with the sub (10S) and sometimes without.
Incredible value for money, solid! A sound that for me and my use and very good! I love listening to music.
Not many other models.
Yes I do it again this choice, and perhaps even without the sub, too powerful, because the pair of V5 already complete enough in frequency.
Really perfect for the budget, but not great for studios or people seeking information and perfect quality!

What characteristics have motivated your choice?
I bought the pair for the price, the power and quality of manufacture.

For what purpose?
What amp / What configuration? ...
they serve me back studio.

SOUNDS

The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?
The curve is not very neutral but this is very serious. Setting possible in the back, and no exaggeration throughout.

The momentum is good, see surprising.

The stereo image is good?
Yes, not bad

The sound is clear and precise on the spectrum?
However the lack of clarity over the whole spectrum. I truly aware when making the mix. To create any worries I'm really counting but the final stage I'll have to fit otherwise.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
1 year

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Tannoy, Yamaha

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
+: Reliable, great sins (see too much in the low end especially)
-: Lack of precision

How would you rate the quality / price? medium / +
With experience, you do again this choice? ...
with no experience, it lacks finesse ask me more problems.
However I strongly advice to beginners. No need to start with a Ferrari.
They are very versatile and powerful. They agree to small studios and stations mix.

Active monitors, bi-amped.
Used for the home studio, derrère a tascam us 122.

SOUNDS

Neutral frequency curve, good momentum, the sound is clear and relatively accurate for the price. The stereo image on it is not terrible ....

OVERALL OPINION

These are my first monitor speakers so I'm not the best person to give an opinion, however, it's been 20 years since I make music and I think I have an ear not too rotten ... they fit me perfectly. Unbeatable value for money at this level. I recommend to all home-studio owners who do not have the means to let go more than a thousand euros a pair of speakers that are only used to mix. they are not used to listening to cd, too cold.
I do it again this choice without hesitation because I prefer to fuck my money in instrumentals

I bought these speakers because they were advised by the vendor for an entry-level internet and the advice often orientaient this model or HS Yamaha

the goal of the first monitor speakers to make cleaner cuts in computer music (electronic music oriented psy trance, techno, electro.

SOUNDS

So it's been 3 years that I have,

- They lack detail in general and especially in the high mids I think

sometimes they get drunk, I feel I know a little better how they sound, I do not know if my ear is refined (I hope so anyway!) but suddenly I feel it lack of things on pieces I've listened a lot, feeling that there is a truck together on various songs and artists, like a veil, a mask ..

on all pieces of electronic music that I listen, the more I listen, I stress that "gender" because I do not have the same feeling on more jazz pieces, dub, rock, blues etc. ...

This lack of detail seems confirmed by a pair of NS10M that, contrary seem more accurate in the midrange and treble, (some in excess anyway especially since they strongly cut the bass without thinking the infra ...) I would between two "extremes with these two pairs.

there pro5 or fish more significantly for me,

- It is in their lack of infra-bass because I find it difficult in the electronic music tune of rolling bass or against time "tap", full of well-managed infrastructure but I know what my room-that partially treated is for many, the size of woofers 5 "limit anyway at these frequencies.


- Finally, the stereo is pretty good in my opinion, panning is rather whether the speakers are properly insured and listening to good position height etc. .. which the normal minimum.

and overall I think they are not bad to start, talented people can do anyway their songs sound great with this pair,
is already the day and night with hi-fi speakers or multimedia
but the ear is especially important! hard drive

OVERALL OPINION

Principal speakers for 3 years so,

Purchased without being compared to others, but since I could try hs5m yamaha, the NS10M, the PRO8, and a pair of Mackie mr5mk2 are Features buddy has for 2 years and I must say that c It is this last pair that I was most satisfied only enrée end models and an "old references" then.

More bassy, ​​they do not seem accurate except peuuuuut be in acute but down below my ear ... so I will choose today if I had to change pairs in this range.

the value was correct, but they should be sold much cheaper today.

the pro5 I love his full connectivity (trs rca xlr) event its front, its weight because this pair has changed much and I can not but admit that it is rather tough,

I do not like, there's the little click that when I turn off the second chamber

hey I know this opinion is messy, can be misleading .. but it's true c'que j'pense: D

Hi guys! Why Eddie did not like Beringher? I think it is a good brand that deserves respect; Also this year they launched three years warranty yes, 3 years! Let's have fun ...

Ah yes the characteristics of prodipe Ben are nickels, I may be buying a pair for my home and my group ... except the bass a little 45hh lightweight to do a good job but the momentum is cool!

SOUNDS

I've Roland dm10 speakers, look no further you will find; They were ok but sound a little metal spurement of the excessive treble, are deemed prodipe The price / quality ratio, which is why I they will buy it!

OVERALL OPINION

I know the brand prodipe for almost 10 years but I did not use at this price point and then over time will all goes ... we forget ... we buy!

Chinese-made, with specifications and an attractive price necessarily unbeatable, new, used or free in my case. These monitors have been forgotten, may be voluntarily by their owner.
These monitors have a complete connection active on their back panels can accommodate signal symmetrical xlr or trs jack as well as the asymmetric rca.
A delicate light switch your monitor powered by an ICE entry.
A notched knob micro-30db from a 6 db adjusts the output level of 75w announced.
A level selector high frequencies.
All active monitors are similar in look from the standard and the Genelec, by his appearance will make the joke.

SOUNDS

Yeah the sound. This legend, the types why spend months in the studio, placing microphones, equalizers adjust, drummers to choose their kicks, cymbals and other guitarists on the brink of Maraboutism.
It's all over.
With Prodipes it does not recognize anything except the shit dribbling down the spectrum of frequencies and lacking a projection not exceeding 40 centimeters.
With such deficiencies in the high end you can only miss a mix.
The ubiquity of these low-frequency false sustainable mix.
And it is just listening with headphones of good quality, which made it clear that these monitors can be used as calibration value.

OVERALL OPINION

These monitors have the home studio, the bedroom on the ultra well equipped project studio and here, surrounded by Adam and NS10, the Prodipes issued their verdicts final. "Who wants it?" . I said yes, because I do not like and throw my hi-fi amplifier at home told me shit a week earlier!
And even my nana does not recognize his records!
So to sell him the idea of ​​new material in our living room, I told him it's like a new standard today, and she replies that it is not a reason and that this account it is as silly as our parents who threw their wooden furniture to buy Formica.
