«  The real "magnifying her! Nothing escapes them! »

Published on 04/16/11 at 11:02
I did not choose these speakers, they offered me was a box of stuff as a reward for services rendered ;-)

I use them for the home studio, but more often instead of my stereo ... Since they are active, I simply connect (via jack) to the output "line out" from my multitrack recorder (Boss-BR600) through which my microphone and the files read by the computer.

I take off one point for the jack (I would have liked more choice, at least XLR) and the volume control from the rear, not serrated.

SOUNDS

The frequency curve is in the ear, amazing ... the same grave, which is logically a bit limited on the speakers of this size is to respectable. Including amplified music (electric bass). After this course, a cello will look a bit cramped on these speakers, but we do not ask them what kind of benefit.

The fever is more than enough, I even put low HF filter. No consistency problem records. Sound is actually clear is accurate, sometimes almost too much for my ears accustomed to the sound of long "HiFi English" which is a little softer.

The stereo is excellent, provided you follow the recommended placement on the record: the listener placed in the triangle, at least 3m from the speakers. The sweet spot is relatively narrow, which makes sense since it is monitoring speakers.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for 5 months now. I had tried any other monitors before, but frankly, I dragged my ears enough in HiFi stores this past quarter century to recognize a good forum to another!

For their use, that is to say, monitor speakers, with one or two good listeners located in the triangle to listen, they are real "lenses" to which nothing escapes! totally bluffing because of their size.

I take off one point for a noise problem coming maybe in my area, not annoying in normal listening, but we hear clearly enough between songs. This is a noise like "white", so not very annoying but ...

The ratio Q / P is indisputable. While I have not paid these speakers, but 300 € the pair is perfectly justified
