« Was good when it went on the market »

Published on 05/04/11 at 02:49
Hahaaaa here I present to you about my "firsts" ...
Yes, my first pair of speakers ...
My first mix ...
My first mastering ...
In short all the excitement of a young sound engineer 'budding yet untouched by any pro studio.

Returning to our db and open hatches out your ...

It all began in 2003 at a friend who had purchased to produce beats.
In the end it was only listening lazy disks soul in thinking that he might make boxes with other hits.
Too lazy to work I sold them a "good price"'m saying.
I find myself with a pair of speakers that I found, "sound weird".
But he told me, "fuck for rap."
Young and gullible I trust this professional ... (The scrambles ...)
Who, then, will prove to be one of the most rotten that I have encountered.

With time I first listened to my vinyl top, then bought an MPC, a mixer, expanders, samplers, digital recorder ect ...

I did not know what it meant to "monitoring" only by reading magazines and articles on the net that I realized what I had in my ears.

One of the strengths of these speakers is these connections and RCA jacks as well as the possibility of increasing the volume + or - 10db, which allows many config 'convoluted low budget home studio and cabalages doubtful.
Crisis requires ...
An additional XLR was a plus but ...
Crisis requires ...

So in a design close to a break from Renault 90s that will have these speakers.
Because they are pretty ugly, but very practical.
A bit like a R21 Nevada.

75W Bi-amplified power is quite substantial and "sends it" good.
Divided into the grave by a bass of 5.25 inches (13cm) in copolymer and 50W in the treble tweeter 1 inch (2.5 cm) titanium 25W.
Not bad at all. And I was even served to animate some evenings or as a return of fortunes on stage for vocals.

So by design is very ugly blue plastic and black wood they offer impressive dimensions 203cm x width 305cm x depth 233cm height ...
on the other hand about 7kg per speaker expenses attention hog!

On paper, the frequency response is between 70Hz and 20Khz but beware!
In practice, it happens nothing below 90Hz (the spectrum collapses literally) and 22Khz (the feeling of having a NT1a Rode with a bump in the treble).
EQ on the back of the enclosure was not a luxury!

The front vent allows the speaker to be pressed against a wall and not distorted bass sound ... If there are serious a. ..

The ignition control of powered speakers is blue and ...
Notice to all those who are struggling to keep warm ...
These speakers are supplied with a heater in the back.
After two hours they heat from the fire of God to the point that one does not put his hand on the metal plate on the back ...
To warm the cottages during long winter evenings is the top!

Pros:
_ Amplified speakers sold in pairs and powerful.
_ Jack and RCA jacks
_ Volume Knob.
_ Forehead vent.
_ The price (at the time).

Cons:
_ Design (question of taste).
_ No XLR.
_ Lack of Eq to fit the part.
_ Frequency Curve false.
_ Electronic heats too much.

SOUNDS

Since we are in the confidence that you know the "firsts" are never the best ...
At first I used it to listen to records and do some "bouboum Tchack" no groove, no interest.

But with time I wanted to move forward and do better.
Start making good prods Phatt well.

I discovered some kind of caviar en bossa with Tannoy System 8 and Adam S-3 but my wallet does not groovit at this point, unfortunately.

So I worked and learned with these speakers.
My first mixes were made for an album in 2007. There was no question of instrumental goods but with voice tracks to mix and master with a Korg D3200 (beautiful machine.)
At the very beginning I struggled so masterfully done in between to record the sounds from my MPC and expanders, taken over voice and mixes. It was very difficult to orchestrate all bikes to reach the desired result.
So I spent hours at work to rip my songs.
But when I started to listen to other speakers, the result was disappointing, the stockings were predominant upper midrange and treble absent, low medium cradent ... Much effort for this ...

Not having enough means to change speakers so I try to optimize.
First, I learned to place them in an equilateral triangle between them and my ears.
Then I listened to albums by mixing in references (Michael Jackson) to understand what I meant.
The verdict: accuracy in the midrange, lots of details, the prevalence of acute and very little low, which justified the result of my mixes.

Having realized that in a confined space it is unnecessary to have a big monitor speakers. The problem was that the small size 6 or 8 inch woofer would be unable to render a proper bottom, which is annoying when one raps.

So I bought a subwoofer, the resolvsub120a, again for reasons of budget.
After this investment, accurate placement and plays discs references I reviewed my mixes.
In fact, I was working the details of the medium and left for good in the treble, the final mixing was not pleasant to hear, but more precise because it stuck to the defects of the speakers.

In 2009, I realized the 16 songs on my solo album and mixes with them was rather successful.
Go have a look at deze listen to this album by clicking the following link: https://www.deezer.com/fr/ # music/spritnoirr/l-empreinte-604121
on the other hand, it took me a phenomenal time and mental gymnastics important to mix a track by telling me, it was necessary that I increase the treble and bass limit.

Although after a good investment, a sub and a good knowledge of the speakers I still invests in Yamaha HS10 with my sub ... And there ... what happiness to see that sound ringing in his pregnant rings in which any.

I kept the speakers for Samson adjuncts, listening, a deluxe stereo. Here they are excellent. But you still have to put an equalizer on the mixer with the following setting, treble five to eleven, medium and serious at noon hour and twenty four. Listening to the CD and vinyl is really nice and clear, the top luxury to consider Taff&#39;s samples and to get an idea of ​​the Masters without going into his car or with a buddy.


Pros:
_ Very good speakers listened.
_ Precision surgical mediums


Cons:
_ Too much treble
_ No bottom.
_ Need for Eq
_ Lack of clarification to mix properly
_ Bosse in the medium

OVERALL OPINION

We must re-situate it in context.
In 2003, he had put more than 500 euros minimum for a good pair of speakers pre-amp. Samson these were an alternative to brands too cheap like Tapco or Behringer.
At that time it was well understood in terms of value for money.

After more than eight years of using more or less intensively, the radiator which serves pre-amp is always unpleasant, breath background appeared on a wall and the other suffers from a bad contact that mutes a jerk. I am compelled to fiddle with the volume knob back to re-get a signal ... Very classy.

The twetters are very fragile, if you accidentally supports it, it does not put in place, attention to movement and therefore a quick vacuuming can restore some up ... Even the great class!

Today, compared to my Yamaha HS10 which are in the same price range I tell myself that the advance of technology and the Chinese labor helped to improve considerably the quality of the home studio for affordable prices.

In the end, they are entry level speakers of average mark in the world of semi-professional. They are at the height of what we can expect. To get a maximum, it must perfectly place, coupled with the sub and understand their faults to mix accordingly.
Quality level, they still work but are beginning to show that they will have 10 years. Unlike many more expensive speakers who have also 10 years, they do not hold and length. Money may be the sinews of war, but this experience showed me that he had to invest a minimum in a reliable brand.

Today they can no longer compete with Yahama, or even KRK Prodipe. However, if you find some real cheap and want to complete your collection of plays, have a hi-fi blingbling they can be useful.
on the other hand to mix attention to the defects set forth above.

They rendered me great service, allowed me to mix two albums and various musical projects. I learned it and it was pretty good because when I went on my other mixes have been even more successful.

Well, now you have my opinion and experience since 2003 ...

Peace & Zik
