« Very good speakers »
Published on 08/13/11 at 09:01Basically, I wanted small speakers, but quality, to mix the correct voice. Generally, I mix mostly with headphones.
I asked several boards here on the AF, and after hesitating between Mackie and Adam, I finally bought the Focal.
After the break-in period, I realize the excellence of these speakers, and suddenly I see my practice I focus on mixerai pregnant, and I work out the details of headphones (especially for infrabass that restores not too bad my headphone, and hardly any of these speakers).
Config: card MOTU ultralite mk3 / PC with Cubase or windows7 Factory
SOUNDS
First, I do not work in a studio, but in an office that is not dedicated to music so the audio is far from perfect. Fortunately, these speakers have various settings to address problems of amateur: speakers too close to a corner or wall for example.
Given that, the sound seems very accurate. For such small speakers, it still falls a lot in the grave, there is the infrabass not made, but these are not provided focal why: a bass should be added to all .
No complaints about the dynamics or the stereo image is quite impressive.
OVERALL OPINION
I use them for 2 months. These are my first monitor speakers.
Special I like least: besides the price, I do not see. You still out € 600 for the pair!
I like the most special feature: everything, I have exactly what I wanted, the speakers very well made (solid metal shell, excellent finishes), practical (settings, switch and volume in front), the sound powerful and accurate for such small speakers.
Value, will I put 9 / 10 because even if they are the best for this size is out nearly twice as much money as Adam for the same size, it hurts the piggy bank ...
With experience, yes, I make this choice. If one day I am lucky to have a real studio, I equip myself Focal greater.
