All user reviews for the Yamaha MSP7

They come out of the sound. For the rest, go to the instructions!

SOUNDS

I will not dwell on the neutrality of a frequency curve or dynamic or stereo image or the fact that they are not even able to make me a fried egg.

OVERALL OPINION

After a running-fifty hours, I can now work properly on it. These are very nice speakers for the job. I had previously worked on MSP10 (which are no longer produced) and I found really bluffing. Well, they have even fooled me! I have long been reluctant to take them, can not listen to them. I am a loyal brand. I had a lot, including HS50M, stew, and HS7, surprising given the price. Here we are in a completely different order of quality. These are speakers that meet your mix. You hear all good reverbs and delays are, for example, easy to work, and their volumes are easily adjustable in the mix.
Really, they are worth their price (down recently).

Previously, I was equipped with Yamaha HS80 Mr. Very good speaker a general fairly neutral, but the vent is located at the rear which in home studio setup can be very embarrassing for the proper dissemination of low frequencies.

I wanted to stay with Yamaha, which is why I'm interested in MSP7. More compact, vents placed at the front.

Level features:
- Bi-amplification 130 w
- Boomer 6.5 "
- 1 "tweeter
- Response 45Hz / 40khz
- Possibility of adjusting the frequency (filter) through the use of selectors at the rear
- XLR
- 12.2 kg (phew!)

SOUNDS

Neutrality? : Yes!
Accuracy? : Yes!

They are very accurate and totally neutral, I would even surgical ... Once installed I spent 1 hour to re listen to mixes old, glued to my chair by the fine detail ... A recommendation for the work of mixing and finalized. on the other hand attention are pregnant 0 compromise, if you send them to the stew, they spit the stew ...

I also use MO PAD at Auralex to avoid loss of frequencies. It costs € 30 and the pair is simply indispensable in home studio environment.

Of course, the stereo image will be good if you are positioned correctly relative to speakers. Yes, momentum is maintained.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for one month now, and the first hearing was immediately convinced me!

Before, I had HS80M, and before that, the Behringer Truth ... day and night ...

The +:
- Accuracy
- Clarity
- Neutrality
- Potentiometer notched volume
- Filters

The -:
- The weight
- The on / off switch misplaced

In terms of performance, price / quality ratio is very good and the price of 550 € is totally justified.

Yes, I do it again this choice without a doubt!

it will seem stupid but I just listened and store compared to others.
Brand and reputation on other models like the NS10 ... helped me to choose, and the power of the speakers ... but I'm mostly an idea is by listening.

use in a home studio, connected to a sound card with software like mao: logic 9 mac.

SOUNDS

Yes the sound is cold and neutral
Yes dynamics is fully respected
The stereo image is very good. If I place the speakers in the right place relative to the ears, I do not know where is the source of his left right up down, and I really feel that the sound is in my head.
Very good presence, it makes me think sometimes its "virtual dolby surround" of the time.
The sound is clear and precise across the spectrum, no frequency is flattered.
can manually flatter bass using a small button on the back of the enclosure, I would not recommend for mastering, but to listen to cd is great.
We approach the hi fi without supply of heat or low, transparent, faithful.
No breath.
We can compare a file with a wav file MP3 320kbit / s or aac file, and the difference is bleuffante ... like what the defect is less audible.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 2 years
I had alesis mkII, which are to play the keyboard or guitar, but not for mastering
There seemed sound more muffled and less faithful to the source. In addition, the amplifier was included in the enclosure (it necessarily in the night) while the amp is MSP7 outside speakers and screwed on.

I tried to shop together at my yams: yamaha HS80, NS10 fostex, krk, samson, prodipe, edirol, Beringer (good all this is not comparable in any way). should compare them to speakers or genelec Quested ...

The important thing is not to be compared to others, it is the turning on and have immediately thought "this is where I need it" I tried all these speakers with the same original CD morcheeba I had already heard a good thirty times. It is a must to choose.



Pros: the sound!
manufacturing quality yamaha
design

The - the weight? this is metal, solid, shielded (must know what you want, and yes, plastic is lighter)
diodes yellow front

very good value for money, we are in the middle range but we really feel like a must-term monitoring speakers.
frankly I do not need to even better because it is already very good at 1100 euros a pair, I remake this choice again, but rather to a passive version with amp. buy eyes closed ONCE YOU TRY.

Semi-professional studio. I knew the Yamaha NS10 with ... I use it with acoustic foam panels and bass trap. Connected to a Focusrite Saffire 56.

SOUNDS

Frequency hyper neutral. It's the speakers that swing your work. If your mix sounds bad on these speakers so it sounds all evil. But be careful to respect the conditions of room acoustics. There is no apparent boss, but the bass is deep and clear treble cristallins.Les seven frequency regions are observed.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried several models: Adams, Mackie, KRK ... Only dynaudios stand out but the price is not the same. Excellent value for money. You can adjust the frequency bands on the back. Too bad the on-off button located at the rear.
I highly recommend this choice for the mixing model. For mastering, you must go to a higher range ... with the sound that follows.

<div>This translation sucks, doesn't make any sense.</div><div>
</div>I was a bit lost in the choices for a pair of monitoring config for my home studio (room of about 25m2) on Onyx 1640. After listening between: MSP10, and Genelec 8040A MSP7, my choice was the MSP7.

When switching between 10 and MSP msp 7, the difference is breathtaking, although about two times smaller, the release MSP7 more bluntly. My initial choice for the MSP10 was then put aside.

As for the Genelec, their sound quality is excellent, but much more appropriate to listen to me. The warmth of sound is very good but they have too much presence not to tire the ear after several hours. However the ideal would be to take the Genelec after listening to mix and msp 7 for the product.

In any case, according to my expectations (compositions rather rock / electronica) the MSP7 have convinced me, I'll come back here when I had a little more perspective on their use, but for now It is a 10 of 10 for me

SOUNDS

- Low but not generous monolythique
- Neutrality perfect sound for my work in composition and mix
- Stereo and perfect details
- Does not tire the ear after several hours of work

OVERALL OPINION

Quality / price, but still beyond the reach of any grants, it must still déboursser € 1000
