SOUNDS

-For the price, and the Utisa for home studio, I was nothing to say about the curve of frquence, I think that to have a neutral sound with perfect speaker can be added a deri 0 re the pros took 5 ribon

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for a week!
-I like the look too lol

- EXCELLENT quality price ratio!

Home studio.
Usage Amateur / Semi.
From 10 to 15 m2 where they are placed, connected to a card Echo gina 24 / 96 and a Mackie 1402 VLZ PRO.

Electric guitars, electro acoustic, bass, drums, vocals. mixes, piano, keyboard master.

SOUNDS

- The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?
- The stereo image is good?
- The sound is clear and precise on the spectrum?
- The dynamics are respected? ...

I found the stereo very well made, and differentiation of nice voice, which seems to order manufacturers / Ribbons: promote acoustic spaces where stamps (guitars, vocals, percussion) and so on. must be distinct. (see press release prodipe, subjective of course).

-May still be a slightly flattering low level / lack of detail.
But on cymbals, kiks, the percussion, it remains fairly accurate even bluffing (to have tested my own drum cymbals long, I found the ribbon, where the sounds were better defined than the Tapco example. over their volume at the back remained low compared to Tapco (which bump or a little too, deserve their name!) but I think that pushed a little, to me, they really yield better dynamic level. .!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
- What is so special that you like most and least?
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
- How would you rate the quality / price?
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

I have ordered last week in effect on line / guitar line is in Lyon, where I was able to test more than half past one,
as well as:

- 5 pm E-mu (pretty pathetic, something like garish, too expensive for what it is) just too medium and multimedia, but I suspected I have listened, because 'there'.
(Ridiculous to propose to the 449th, there are better and cheaper!)

- Mi Alesis mkII because it's been ten years since it sells, and some mods to even have af mixed good recordings on it, but it's very deaf, as its very dated. old and for the same price, there's more.

- Tapco S5 (although here I must say that I almost hesitate!) There is nothing to say there is some quality in manufacturing, a good potato, large dynamic stereo sound, a good report ... BUT .. too many mediums, and heavy metal medium well, it's obvious at some point it turns to mush sound so tiresome to me on long sessions.
Voices and percussion / world music to Susheela Raman, even the voice mixes with the instruments at certain heights .. not on the ribbon; more accurate.

- The Ribbon 5 are better in lower, more detailed, more "round".
They seem to me as a much better production / components / robustness.
(Not to mention the best located events, for me)!

- I'm also went to The Merchant of at Limonest (Lyon) test (famous) Fostex PM 1, sure it would please me much, given the opinion, the press, specifications .. Despite a good dynamic, the Fostex have little low (I was even part of the 0.5 pm: what it would have been !!).. very disappointed.
The friend, an electronics engineer who was with me, built for him (but insane hp), it told me it was very average too .. he found the bass crap, it has been the highlight qu'enfoncer.
In addition, the listening conditions were bad (that too, plan to be relaxed and very focused, to go fast, since not already, guitars in hand, the guys who walk in it, do not help, then you really have to arm themselves with concentration).
- Finally, a friend had put her at a party a PM: mp3 on the computer for hours, I had already found it garish, but put it down to music or files, but it had seemed strange . "Over medium", its aggressive.

Therefore decided: there's nothing like listening.

- Small downside: I could not take my compilation with songs that I knew perfectly composed two more characters, as is all because the dispatch of star pete's music was computerized, and the guitar on line rejects all cd, wav out of their windows media, even The Merchant of worry on mac.
- The only correct effect on line, offset: has + that "5 min" (wondering if some vendors also want to sell), and had the Susheela Raman, Beck, or heavy metal, impeccable level plurality, and cymbals, percussion details, or other sounds "electronification". I have purchased from them.

- An advice: Expect all three stores in 4 have had technical problems or are the three best equipped Lyon (star's music, effect on line, the merchant's. All in moving, so my review is on , but to point out, at least choose morning or aprem. Thursday genre. offset that the world already. Take a USB key rather than cdr.

As for the M-audio type "BX 5 a", "8 a", (I would have liked to see, try deluxe) but the plastic aspect of M-Audio in general (who had put off for purchase master keyboard) and very "rough draft, below," the seller, I was not too much regret having cut once: so I bought the ribbon, winning!

= I would change after they have honed and tested at home

not really, alas

The characteristics are quite common to all monitors except the famous tape supposed to bring sweetness in the treble. For transitions I'm very skeptical since it is mainly the role of electronic crossover so.

The look great!

My first impression of listening to these monitors is a certain softness in the treble maleureusement low ubiquitous spoil the final rendering. The sound is still stuck in the box no spatialization of stereo very directional.

OVERALL OPINION

Then I fear that this smoky marketing argument did not tape ends to fizzle,
I even saw Behringer also got involved ... you say it ...

Like a lot of you who read these lines, infected by the ubiquitous pub Prodipe I almost get me too. So I was about to crack under the onslaught of advertising on the internet when I took the good idea to try them in store.

I just see, I listen and I listen to just behind KRK VXT4 positioned in the same conditions.
Uh how you tell the difference between a donkey and a horse you see?
You may say that between 300 euros and 560 euros a pair it's normal to feel a difference, yes it's true and I assure you that there's even a huge!

I saw on it seems a Woodbrass ads to 349 euros including 5 Prodipe Ribbon + a microphone + headphones 250 euros to 50 euros ... For a small start-up budget but I say why not for a long-term choice, I highly recommend this material without having listened to before!

Monitoring of acoustic instruments


SOUNDS

frequency curve very closely, the ribbons do not rise higher than conventional tweeters and still sawtooth resonances in all azimuths when the bass is better not to talk, they are delivered in a hodgepodge that is shudder poor ears (yet he must have still ...), brief look at a draft of his hi fi, it is difficult to discern the nuances of sound passing through them, it must be said that the transformer for power supply speaker is a poor little conventional transformer (not ring), filtering is almost nonexistent, the amps are built very small radiator mounted on a small 85 gram embedded in the plastic wad of poor quality (to cushion defects, we knows it is useless when the enclosure is incorrectly calculated and here it is, the more power it draws level with 20 watts and 75 watts HP announced are pure fantasy, listen in real-watt harman by example and you get an idea of ​​what I'm talking about.

OVERALL OPINION

particularity and not least, the electronic screening of these little monsters, delays the signal from a small iota, which makes the speakers without any percussion, everything seems to be amortized and come from afar, musician friends, flee from this model that resellers bought for a song at hand ECI music, he made a margin to fall, (selling price at least double the purchase price), if you hope to mix with the sound of batting which puts all his eagerness to deceive you, is that you have a gift and every speaker should suit you ...

What characteristics have motivated your choice?
I listened to these monitors with a friend and they told me Carrie seduces

For what purpose?
I used to listen music, write and do the mixing in my home studio

What amp / What configuration? ...
I use it with an e-mu 0404 pci

SOUNDS

The stereo image is good?
yes, excellent

The sound is clear and precise across the spectrum?
yes, nothing is missing, the acute, medium, severe, used of course for what it is intended: enclosure nearby. the bass is very firm and has no need to correct the equalizer


OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
1 month

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
yes, a few stores but none for me to be cracked in 5 minutes

What thing do you like most/least about it?
pregnant a bit flattering I think compared to my Cabasses or medium is more open and less bass. do not tire the ear long. I have not found a default (for this price and usage of course)

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
excellent

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
course and even wanted to buy a 2nd pair

Finally I find the opinion of daggerfall18 a bit hard. For the price they are really exptionnelles

SOUNDS

. This is my first

OVERALL OPINION

monitors, I use to mix things Pop / Rock. At the store I tested quite a few speakers in the genre, including Genelec cheap I know what it's called, and it's one I preferred.

All because the sound seemed better. I know that the monitors must have a precise sound rather pleasant. But without experience, I am the choice that seemed the most logical, although it would certainly different today.

In sound uh the better it would be to go listen. You just notice a slight lack of bass, not too annoying once you get used to the gear.

So I decided to buy them, but also the price. Especially in Audiosolutions, they often flash sales on these forums, and I've paid tac misery.

Basically for now I'm pleased with these speakers (inexperienced and without acoustically treated room, no need to pay expensive monitors), the mixes I've done with pretty good sound on different system listening, and if I had to buy speakers more serious, they may eventually be Prodipe speaker stereo. Not bad

In fact I heard these speakers in my local music store, I've compared it with other (Yamaha, etc. ...) and in fact they seemed fine for my use.

My usage: Home Studio Me, I'm just personal compositions.
