Active 2-Way 1 * 17cm / 80Watt and 1 * 19 mm / 50Watts, Sound pressure 1w/1m 105Bd, possible extent on the control of the spectrum, for the rest towards http://www.scv.fr/ &% &%&%&% I wanted to buy a pair of powered monitor, and knowing an administrator of an auditorium working with these speakers, I have tested extensively and repeatedly on various types of recording: mine those of friends, the big commercial productions (varité), techno (trance, hard tech, hard core), jazz, classical music, taking its direct (micro console) also from old cassettes, etc., in a soundproof booth.

SOUNDS

....... They flatent!! none of the samples (read excerpts) were unpleasant to listen. every mix I could make my home and where to listen to many other systems on air, was the big shit with horror style, "is, it is where the bass drum?!" or "shucks, have meant that the part of synth" or "whoo lala, this crescendo pierces my ears!", and of course the 1030A, none of the mix seemed missed all were - PERFECT -!

In short, I was looking for work precisely monitors the mix, and although I made a beautiful economy by not buying it.

For cons, I think were the speakers who share their excess Baths flattery and "forgiveness" on the mix failures, provide a comfortable listening: you do not get tired to listen and work, not not mix, but on the composition: the gain is mounted on the table, and it sounds right now, we do not stop because that's a bit saturated or not enough, there are too severe or not enough, there is too much or too little effect, etc..

In short, it is of a high quality listening for anyone who wants (just) listen to music or working parties set up their pieces, but I recommend working for the mixer or the patch.

On the other say it's matter of habit, it takes some time to adapt because when it was not used to such a degree of quality, it takes time to [..... ..]

In short, I still work with the same speakers for 6 years and I'm not about to change for Genelec.
