    Very good report quality price

    I chose this first for the very affordable to manufacture quality and the sound quality. I use it in a small home studio as listening to and proximity to a few levels. I do not think using them on the final mastering. I put this note for the right price quality ratio very well because they have on small gaps compared the more upscale.

    SONORITS

    For me the answer is relatively good but slightly too "box". They give the impression of hearing a sound speaker Logitech Computer. I'm pretty picky, this is not the point ngatif not to buy them.
    However they go down well in the bass, and the spectrum is also very good in the high frequencies (my personal hearing is 30hz 17k). The dynamic is p…

    However they go down well in the bass, and the spectrum is also very good in the high frequencies (my personal hearing is 30hz 17k). The dynamic is pretty good and they hit the air well, they can mount a very good volume remaining clear. We could use them to carefree mix (in fact I think they lend themselves very well to it).

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I use them for a few months. I have not tried any other model except store KRK who have not impressed me (same price range). I love the quality price ratio, finishing, connectivity and srieux Mackie. I would do this choice precisely because this is my second pair :)

    and how to say ... ahhhhrrggg was good for low or ...

    - The sound is clear and prcis across the spectrum?
    for now I'm surprised enjoyable ...
    I go on the album Common Sense - Like Water for Chocolate, which I know by heart at his, having cost more than once in the studio on big cost ...
    I find this to be sensasion the track, to hear all the details ...

    - The curve frequency drives is it neutral enough?
    the bass is present, too, in my case being only 30cm from the wall and the event being at the rear, otherwise seems to me a fairly neutral.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?
    1 hour uh, I would edit alorzs a month in qq

    - What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    Mackie with what is right even when it is class ... enough to face first and then the packaging is fun!
    You unpack your box and instead of taking out the head gear was being protected on all sides by the polystrene, Mackie thinking about putting the monitor in a small box with a fist to the out easily ... not cool!

    - How do you report qualitprix?
    seems to me a really good, I hsit Krk with the RP6 but are a little more ... CHRE the future will tell me if I made the right choice

    - With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

    What technical specifications motivated your choice?
    I looked for monitoring costs of medium size and with a good record in terms of low (which is often EHJV in this range). Also want something prcis and versatile. In stores, some costs seemed too "light" enough couillues, others too dense almost deaf. I t IMMEDIATE sduit by the quality of sound. The price indicated n'tait not what I expected and the vendor tells me they taient Chres three times more than other mid-range. Well no c'tait in the same price. I do not hsit.

    - For what purpose?
    Mainly mix. The desire for something prcis, which Reserved no surprises on other media dcoute. I'm not.

    - What configuration?

    - For what purpose?
    Mainly mix. The desire for something prcis, which Reserved no surprises on other media dcoute. I'm not.

    - What configuration?
    I'm working on a big PC with Nuendo on prods electro folk, Mlenge allgrement of Reason with Nuendo, acoustic instruments with synthetic bass.
    For the rhythmic "analog" I work with Addictive drums. A versatile monitoring seemed so ncessaire.

    SOUNDS

    - The curve frequency drives is it neutral enough?
    Yes I think has impeccable. As I placed the cost close to the wall, I had to compensate for the low rendering the source (small traditional switches the rear of the baffles). Now a roll.

    - Stereo image is good?
    Trs trs good. You can really have fun putting the beats around and ranges in frequency drives Different. We really feel like seeing them dplacer. Stereo for excellent management costs from this award.

    - The sound is clear and prcis across the spectrum?
    The highlight of my mind these costs. Have as much precision in frquences high and at the same time such EHJV in the low, a price that borders on the ridiculous l. I intended to buy a sub later. I will not need it. But I do not dance to ..

    - The dynamic is it respect? ...
    Yes, in addition to the signal to noise ratio seems to me Irrel. I confirm what was said by a Previous post redcouvre is the breath of the original recording. Ct and the other curve dynamic apche death without losing precision.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?
    For three months. I rcout all my old CD and remix all my compos;)) It's like moving from SD to HD video. We explore new paths.

    - What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    What I like most: the clarity and dynamics, and precision EHJV time.
    What I like least: The volume pots front t have fun for recalibration, but I quibble, I see no default.

    - Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
    Normment Yes, with friends in the studio store. In this price range, none had sduite this point.

    - How do you report qualitprix?
    Excellent. It is a euphmisme.

    - Well, three months is short and exprience, but these costs are part of the best purchases I've ever done. I recommend them with closed eyes anybody, I n'esprais falling like pearls on this award l.
    I almost Rasht a pair for my living room.

    I wanted to find monitor speakers as neutral as possible in order to mix studio projects.

    SOUNDS

    These were the most neutral in their class, with a good performance for this price range.
    The accuracy of the sound is phenomenal, I even took my CD library to listen to and to rediscover the songs both the rendering quality and accuracy is exceptional across the spectrum

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use them for almost a year. They were recommended to me by a friend and sound engineer, the various comments on the website also convinced me.
    The value for money is excellent and I highly recommend it!
