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.

I took these speakers for their attractive price combined with their size rather compact. The choice of the vent at the front was important for me since I can not currently treat the room (or the wall behind the speakers).

SOUNDS

frequency curve:
Let us put it to all in the context: it is pregnant less than 250 euros per PAIR.
For that price, the curve is neutral, there is nothing to say the above.
After so these speakers can be a tendency to flatter mids and bass can sometimes be limited (read below 70Hz), but nothing to worry about when starting, you can definitely get out of house mixes reasonable, and is best to start with pregnant with defects that can happen has control over time than to have the tapping listen fighter that can not tame a ... but your point of view!
I find it completely stupid and baseless to compare them with HS80 or even Yamaha NS10, is a comparison that does not make sense since it is not the same budget: compare what is comparable! (But I digress).
Dynamics is almost fulfilled, the stereo is excellent!
The sound is clear and precise enough to do this by hand with these speakers, or even for people with experience to appreciate a listening side (or more).

For mixing in itself, be careful at low below 80 or 70Hz, the limit of the speakers begins to be felt, and become difficult to control the bass without a subwoofer below 65Hz or so.
So for acoustic music (read with instruments), ca-sufficient: it can be exercised on the ear the eq of a guitar for hours without getting tired too (remember to take breaks!), But for music like electro or dubstep, short of asking for good bass music, I think has the IMHO is to spend its way to something bigger, or take their own initiative a subwoofer /
For the rest, I had the chance to spend my compositions in a real professional studio, equipped with Genelec 1030 and 1032 with the Genelec 1080 subwoofer in a room fully processed.
Well the result is surprising, or not just because I have not had any big difference in the mix (except in the bass, but it I expected membranes with 5 inch ...), otherwise the rest was well balanced, although the midrange seemed a bit behind on Genelecs (due to the bump in these frequency ranges on prodipe).

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for almost a year, and I tried a pretty good amount of studio monitor in this price range, m-audio, Samson, and Fostex etc ...
The prodipes come from the top of my list: the sound is balanced overall, well made (they are strong: 4 removals and are like new!), Vents before which afford not to lose too dynamics at low settings and frequency correction, all at a very low price.
I regret mainly on / off button is the speaker who was behind it: impractical!
These are very good speakers to start mixing without breaking the bank, even after their why not add the box pro10s or another.
With experience and with the same budget, I would do without hesitation that choice! otherwise I will take the speakers with a larger membrane for a bit more bass ... but hey I bought knowingly

The Pro 5’s by Prodipe have been around for a few years now and I have had hands on experience with them on several occasions. The stereo quality is very good and the frequency range is as well. They are a very solid set of monitors. They don’t seem to get very loud though, but when mixing you’re your music you shouldn’t have the volume extremely loud. I actually got great results with this mixing my music, I like to mix my music as I make it so I can get an actual feel for how the final version will sound and they served their purpose just fine.


SOUNDS

The sound is great and the frequency range is almost perfect. I just wish they where overall louder. Even when you turn them all the way up which you should never do. They still don’t seem to be very loud and I have used them in a pretty small room. A room that is only 10x10 and the sound still doesn’t seem to get loud.


OVERALL OPINION

But I guess the Pro 5’s will take care of what you will use them for and that is mixing your music. The price of them is a good price online. I have seen them cheaper in some local stores a year or two ago. I wouldn’t recommend buying them used because from what I hear the life span of them isn’t that good as time goes on and also I have heard they don’t take well to being knocked around or banged or dropped. I havent dropped mine at all and don’t plan on it but if you purchase them used you will never know what the person who had them before you did so it could be a bad investment with the rumors of life span on the Prodipe Pro 5’s.

Accordeons6000.

I searched for monitor speakers not too expensive and not too large either with a bass reflex vent in the front for my set of keyboards output mixer.

SOUNDS

I find the sound simply excellent. I was a little afraid that low are a little short but it is not. Presence of low good, good accuracy of the stereo image and a very good. The dynamics are excellent Prodipe although these are not very powerful (35w + 15w) It's not bad for a small set.

OVERALL OPINION

A wonderful discovery that these Prodipe 5 in its price range mini mini (even new) top sound, a nice finish and a reasonable size make it a great choice to excellent value for money.
Purchased € 150 for my pair used 3 months, there seems to be better (but probably more expensive too). Meanwhile, I really enjoy.

Event low in the front very useful when you can not keep them away from the wall.
buttons at the back, certainly, but notched and very convenient for calibration.
they are very nice and well finished.
adjustment of the curve at the top of the spectrum ..
9 for the buttons at the back.

SOUNDS

Interesting curve allows to find its mix very well.
they are less colorful than the PRO8 that increase a bit too guitar and voice, still a good place for pro5.
the stereo image is good as long as the place and to be placed correctly.
the highs are not aggressive and well defined. prolonged listening is not a problem.
The bass are present, well defined, quite surprising for a sample of this size and do not take precedence over the rest of the spectrum. not really need the box in most cases!
good directivity of waves even in a crappy room: really good!
Not the best but they are pregnant are more than sufficient to work very well for home recording.

OVERALL OPINION

3 months of use. I particularly like to work correctly moderate level. I find the bass much better defined than on near05experience.
top value for money.
I am more than satisfied!

I used these speakers for 3 months while waiting for my Pro 8. they are direct branches derrire my Mackie mixer. The finish is impcapble me black coating seems trs sensitive to scratches must be done rather attention. For the price the whole is more than adequate

SOUNDS

A lightweight in the acute lack I find it a little freelancing in the mix, otherwise inmpecable once you get used to 5 inches. For the tek I think it lacks power, APRS while the music is meant to be broadcast on the big sound while having much larger speakers. In short it is mostly my neighbors who will regret my Pro 5 ...

OVERALL OPINION

3 months used by the lightweight set is lacking in the treble and the lack of power not repeat listens and the super comfortable even for CD and DVD mix.

I use them to my little home studio PERSONAL.
The value for money has motivated my choice.
I do not put 10 as the button is located behind the speakers which is not really practical ...

SOUNDS

I find these speakers very transparent and very precise.
I'm pretty impressed with their respect for the dynamics of pieces ... Even pushing the sound, not boiled sound, while still has its place ... the dream.

For the stereo I'm in a very cramped so jne'm not better now positioned to aprlé, but it appears to be well respected.

OVERALL OPINION

I like: sound, value, setting the acute around 1kHz and look
I do not like: the buttons on the back

With the experience I remake this choice with his eyes closed!

For caratristiques => see below

Usage: modest little home studio, recording small models just for fun.

Config: Table 1832FX + FireWire + Solo laptop a team of Nuendo & Guitar Rig 2 + 1 + 3 BCF 2000 guitar amp combos + 2 + 1 + 1 X50 + K61 1 SM57 SM58 + 1 + 1 + some effects compressor SCOM + 1 more CD / DVD and many recess my Pro 5.

SOUNDS

Its clear?, Dynamic respect?, Stereo Image?, Frquence neutral?

Well frankly, I'm not ing sound but all I see (or rather I hear) is that the sound was smooth, well balanced and that whatever the power used.

OVERALL OPINION

I have three months from now, there is no particular feature I like least, before I had DX4 Then I tried the B2031A and 520 M1 and frankly there is no photos because given the config of my pice, the fact that they can be glued to the wall with wind faade, I finally have a real good record in terms of COST and relatively neutral, from me to say that the IDE the other is bad, but it's not just that they n'taient fits my need and can not set it correctly, I had low and frankly made by or importance of investment in the COST .....

The report price is frankly good quality: 300 pair, Aesthetics is not ugly, the rglages are simple, the quality at the top, its nickel.

Exprience with this choice I do it again without hsiter second.

I use 5 Prodipe a pice of 20/25 m2 and power is more than enough (knowing that I have no neighbors I hsit Pro8 with me but Pro5 more than enough. Be careful not to oversize! The Pro5 are directly connected to my MPC and the sound is great (Jack connection 6.35). The event is the lower front gnial because they can be put against a wall (which is not the case with most other monitor speakers). I do not use a subwoofer because the bass is powerful enough prcises.

SOUNDS

I am not a ing its just an amateur, and I find trs good in terms of image reproduction and stro frequencies. Dtails means all clear, in short, they perfectly fulfill their rle.
The bass is l. I read somewhere that someone was complaining of acute but I do not have that problem, they are clear and do not tire the ear.

OVERALL OPINION

I only use them for a week and I am perfectly satisfied. The ratio quality / price ratio is incredible. I had a problem with cons to beginners with one of grsillait pregnant, causing a distortion in lgre mdiums. The store has replaced IMMEDIATE me (apparently a problem for electronic) and all is well now. I'm still running so I do not push too much but they sound good even low volume.

November 26 Last day: I will see my note sacrment down. One of the speakers in the DCON carrment mdiums and it seems that the membrane vibrates. I'm going back to the store. It's been the same when deuxime ... two. I do not know if it's really bad luck, bad SERIES or lack of quality.

November 29: Previous forget my comment, it was I who DCON not pregnant ... I was just a crappy sample well. DSOL :-(

- Versatility at an attractive price!
- Monitoring of the trip hop .... rock ... electro .... it's going very well!
- It is connected to a twin track pro FOCUSRITE which has a monitoring range where I listen to my sound card output coax.

SOUNDS

Impec-neutrality. !
-RAS (attention, not easy to handle in space ...)
-His good, although I am new to RAS
Even if my models are not great, everything is even transcribed the dynamics ...

OVERALL OPINION

-6 Months of use at low doses
-Most: it looks solid and is serious! They do not tire my zozo!
the least: I have already sizzling as I never draws it ....??????? problem
-No
-Good value for money (300 € a pair ).... but my sizzling when I put much!
No, I would try to strip the ADAM little more expensive, but it's just curiosity.
I am very disappointed with my issue with stuttering because I thought seriously of prodipe .... of course as everyone makes me ch ... them back then - 1 points.
In any case, given the criticisms of other products in this area, so I had to change qqchose, would be my sound card to take advantage of my pro5
