Tascam VL-X5

After many years of galleys by combining stereo, guitar amp and Mao, cabling DELICATE, I have to crack a Behringer Eurorack mixer and a pair of speakers tscam vl-x5.

the result is final. with proper management levels, restore to the millimeter speakers so they are sent. without emphasis of any frequency. without distorion without souffle.c is clear, beyond reproach.

the connection is treated, it is beautiful.
my choice c is fixed after the last compared with the Listen Mackie and Yamaha.
the Mackie (Tapco) m seemed to add presence in the bass and treble, in the manner of an amplification area. the yamaha sound more brouillon.c is for their neutrality and perfect sound definition of the medium that I have chosen.

my config:

Behringer Eurorack who receive

washburn guitar with zoom effect 505g
washburn bass effect with zoom + 505b bass amp without driver
computer with Sound Forge and Acid

Here c is.

SPUTNIK

SOUNDS

Confirms an amateur, I am very satisfied.
well on the ultra-low frequencies are not like before the modern hi-fi, but c is for ca.

the stereo image is so good that my delay effects have characteristics that I had never heard before n.

can be a sound engineer could only find something wrong, I'm not.

OVERALL OPINION

The only drawback is the click al ignition, and the volume knob undersized.
detoute way but with an appropriate setting for the piece, it is not no need to handle the volume of the speakers.

- What technical specifications motivated your choice?
response frquence, price, reviews on the net and resellers.

Stereo image is good?

OVERALL OPINION

How do you report qualitprix?
fabulous in Germany, in France but is less even when a case.
Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
no doubt, even if I have recently, I know recognize the quality when I see it.

Bi 60watt amp for bass and 30W for the acute
perfect for listening to local secondary and dosage effects
completed with a sub if you do not listen to average
19 mm tweeters with silk diaphragm
HP low 133 mm
Adaptation of the bass range: 150 Hz or 800 Hz, ± 1.5 dB, via DIP switches
Adaptation of the high range: 3 kHz or 8 kHz, ± 1.5 dB, through DIP switches

"Acoustic Space Control" for optimal transmission characteristics, regardless of the chosen location
Anti-armor components prevent magnetic interference due to CRT
Deep housings for better bass response

Bass Reflex openings for the transmission of serious

SOUNDS

The answer is very homogeneous and is super flat from 65 to 22kHz, though a slight sheen (very light) which makes it very detailed and precise. c excellent for edit (mouth noise / reverb / compression etc.)
the stereo is very good biensur it depends on your investment, but as you get to make a high-end speaker as invisible as the stereo is crisp and precise.
amps work very well they are fast and even a little nervous which earned him a very good momentum and the net transition. you will very quickly if your mix is ​​rather "piss" or "big sound"!
only downside = no built-in limiter then the deaf will have to be careful, however niveus their output is well impressive.

OVERALL OPINION

2 months
most see above
less = no limiter and do not go down very low, but not c what they have and demand more TASCAM has prefferé make a dynamic decision chamber = neutral clear and precise rather than a pregnant fe severe drooling and soft with a frequency response is poor. (crf alesis prodipe click and all of the lo budget deceive but unfortunately are not at the monitor worthy of the name).
= Value for money is good (some would say expensive, others say right) and consistent with the return of the enclosure.
again the choice = YES eyes closed
Tt I invite the world regain control of their ears and choose REAL Monitor (FAR / ADAM / PMC / JBL / TASCAM / TANNOY / ASA / DYNAUDIO / FOCAL etc. ..) and not pregnant are musical (MACKIE / M-AUDIO / PRODIPE / ALESIS / etc ...) to make its story and nothing else, the studio is not the HI-FI! finally all depends on what you have to do but good, go ahead stop buying price, buy quality.

I really need a new pair because my monitornig Tapco S 5 does not really suit me. But the price of monitoring speakers repelled me a little until I came across this model and its price at Thomann. technically has nothing special to say except that I really like the little blue LED.

I use to mix in my home studio (myspace.com / thegnomestudio)

SOUNDS

They sound really great! Atention against it by do not have much bass so do not be trapped. However the bass is well defined and it is nice. I love the treble very bright too.

The stereo image is correct and no more. but maybe I should reconsider my investment on the occasion.

Basically these speakers truly reflect the reality and it's very nice. Much more than my tapcos (which I always that I keep as a second pair at the moment) much too flattering.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought in July but I have only really use mix at home. I mixed the six titles in a rock band and I had no surprises when comparing my mixes to other audiences (hi fi headphones, PC speakers ...) which is really nice! JUSE must be careful not to send too much bass and there are really way out with a good mix!
So I remake of choice without hesitation. As for value for money, having purchased it at Thomann obviously exeptional!
But I wonder if even at the cost almost french ca not stay a good deal these speakers ...
