All user reviews for the Yamaha NS-10M Studio

These are great speakers REFERENCE, poses around the studio.

SOUNDS

They sound shit and Russia a mix with these machines relvent a great, great experience trs. Ringing in a mix NS-10 is so difficult that if you get there is that we have a great mix.
The tweeters are super sensitive and cost arm and a leg!
The bowls are made of paper trs end, what makes them bend in all directions, however, they
have a sound when listening to low volume, with a real amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I have used against my gr for 4 years. Then I moved to Tannoy 600:
NOTHING TO DO!
I am of the same opinion that a person very fond of JBL, and I agree, I prefer the
bikes from Yamaha, and 600 FAZER.
N buy not this crap! It is not at all (and yet so they say) neutral!
For the same price, buy one alesis. It's better and it sounds!

Fidler pregnant your console output.
Ideal for detecting the "Flas" in your mix.

SOUNDS

I attribute a good note but the cost is really dsagrable to beginners.
These speakers do not make a gift!
on the other hand, if your song sounds great on NS10, it will sound good everywhere.

OVERALL OPINION

Before I had the KRK and I got tired trs soon as they gave me the impression of having a standard and its cost me when I went out tracks also sound really rotten silent.
The KRK only broadcasts the bass, the tannoy Hifi sound and Mackie make me a headache for the knowledge!
The NS10 only broadcast mediums, and I got used to it!
My neighbors are also happy with my choice ...
A +

These speakers are very specific to studio work SOUND, and serve as standard speakers. Listening is surprising at first, then we can not do passser after a few months.

SOUNDS

They are completely linear and not at all colored (hence the criticism of people not used). They are not enough of listening to the final mix or pure or pre-mastering, but rather not to pass any default in the sound and the pre-mix. Only default: It is true that they lack (a little) a role for low standard.

OVERALL OPINION

Of course they should not be the only references in your studio, but are an essential part of it if you already have to monitor mixer. It's not for nothing they are found in most professional studios around the world. From there to make the monitors for "home studio", it depends on taste.

It's hard to mix the serious - you need a 2 pairs of wider costs + a good headphone

OVERALL OPINION

3 years
I like his plate to mix: when a ring on NS10, it rocks on everything else!
Except for the bass, but be careful not to put too much since the NS10 does not return at 50 Hz

I left not live on planetary ref and I've habitubr /> q / p right

Other default: do not support feedback! very fragile. But in the studio, this should never happen

I have chosen for their sound card and because they taient trsrpandues in 1993-1994. The purpose of having a real silent monitoring speakers to replace my stereo speakers, I knew well but not n'tait forcment trs prcises endurance and enough to mix.
Note that in this era, the choice much less silent in this price range, and they often chose the NS10M default.

The amp is 2x60W (stereo) NAD has always convinced me that in terms of sound.
The small luxury cblage is the "monster cable" that connects the speakers my amp

SOUNDS

Then the speakers are really NS10M most DCRI, probably because the newly gnration home studio came to never knew these speakers. Most modern monitors flatter sound, and it is not what is asked a monitor.
Asked above all to be "portable" and to be able to be transposed and its mix of ide on another System.
In this sense, NS10M are no default. They are accused of lacking bass and treble, but in fact they do not flatter the bass or treble, which prevents do not be analytical and Retailer. We can not talk about neutrality. We should just talk NS10M sound, which is particularly sounding board, or that pleases Sorry, but that prevents trs often mistaking a mix ...

Stereo image is good. The sources are trs well situated in the field without being EXAGRES stro. The sound is quite sweet potato, even on modern music.

Remain even when the NS10M trs comfortable on the acoustic music and a good monitor, they are not always comfortable on the cost of CD, especially if the compression / Limiting have t applied heavy fawn on the master ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have 10 years. I just like their sound "card" is gnial on acoustics, but that dfend well on modern music.
I know something about the Genelec 1030A (and others, but I do that costs). No comparison with NS10M forcment that sound a bit "multimedia speaker". Play it under the same conditions so it is ridiculous to compare the speakers who have not the same vocation.

Remains that no mistakes with NS10M, especially if you are a home-studio owners who want, above all, his mixes are made prcisemment and without surprises. Ct of this there can be if we do not add a subwoofer ... What I did. Complment NS10M of IDAL. I know them by heart, and I know how 9 times out of 10 is a ring.

With exprience, and especially money, because I took Genelec c'tait the REFERENCE of the era. For the technique, everything is a matter of fashion. Just as some people criticize these speakers to offer that there are now standard for the fad of "NS10M is rotten" get bigger without tural justification or approval of those who know how to use ...

Note that a good headphone and more is not a luxury to analyze finely dtails. I have an AKG K240 Studio, Analytics, which monitors the complte well.

It's been six months that I have my NS10.Je bought them used.
The CHARACTERISTICS, everyone knows: no bass below 70Hz (do a test with a signal generator and you will see that they fall quickly!), A medium of shears, and giving good highs information about the reverbs.
All this is to use a home studio, and capture all concert.Le Plugg in a nad amp (C320 BEE.De the ball !!!!)

SOUNDS

The sound dchire!!
It took me four months to buy my speakers and I have a dozen of which cost six intensively (because they fell within my budget). Effectivment against the current fashion of the NS10 speakers sound "weird" . But no flattery here! Of transitional dgomment all! Absent on some of the reverbs pregnant suddenly appear! For magique.Pour voice is the snare too.
Very good image stro.
To properly account for their sound listen with a good cd of 70s (a good gainsbourg style, with good low round well), or pieces that are transcending the NS10 "tearjerker" in red hot and "everything in icts right place" by Radiohead.

OVERALL OPINION

I did a comparative listening for two hours with Adam NF10 (strange similarity in the name), the Dynaudio BM6 passive, of Westlake 6.75. The Adam's a very original compress with soft spikes, the M6 ​​have a medium as accurate as NS10, and Westlake seemed flattering in the upper midrange and treble.
Also, I had many opportunities to work with Genelec 1030 and tannoyrevel assets. I personally hate the Genelec (must buggers in the treble and high mids to be sure to not run out on the stereo, and suddenly it rips off the head!) and tannoy seem questionable in the low mids and bottom.
Now everything depends on what you like and what you are going to dub faire.Du or tech, go your chemin.Du ILRS garage rock, they are done!! Jazz, it's marchent.Meme classic (for the violins is the top! and piano in many acute slamming).
I personally desteste the current sound speakers (Mackie, Genelec, Tannoy ...) with little sharp mids and too low.
I love his late 60s, 70s and early 80s (such as garage rock that smells of sweat!).
Now I'm not saying the other speakers are bad: just know a pair of love. Knowing how to work with (with the NS10 I take no risks with low, there is a lot of cutting down on tracks to avoid the parasites not heard in 55 hz).
Report qualitprix exceptional.

I redo the choice right now (and if ever they become stranded I redeemed right away!)

So here it is indeed Yamaha NS-10M Studio.

SOUNDS

It seems that these speakers sound neutral? I can not believe it unless I have a mistaken notion of its "neutral". For me, they lack bass and they n'entand the upper midrange. But against the sound is sharp and clear, good stereo image. When the dynamics? I always hard to say ...

OVERALL OPINION

I the boards for 2 years (we are mid-March 2007), I bought the boards used.

This is my first monitor speakers. I selected the boards because I am perceived that many recording studios have: I thought that this was certainly not without reason.

I was really confused at the beginning and it took me several years to almost get used to it, and again, almost. It is impossible to mix with if you use them alone. They need other speakers who come to their assistance in the frequency ranges that the NS-10 are struggling to restore (mainly bass and treble) and I use until the best hi-fi encintes Pioneer 2x 25 Watts bring just the bass and treble that Yamaha do not but are a bit feeble in all mediums and complement rather well, I'm surprised ^ ^

These speakers are great but they are not used alone, otherwise the overdose of media guaranteed.

For what purpose?
To simulate rotten pregnant (and they do it well!)

SOUNDS

Nothing in there.

OVERALL OPINION

You really have anything else in cost his life to find his pregnant excellent!

If they are found in a studio pro, only because the ing use it to see what it's like their equivalent of a mix of hi-fi.

My first recording as a musician on a t mix the shit and t seen a disaster because they have no bass, your exact dsquilibr totally silent.

It can not be used in monitoring, especially for the tape recording.
Remember that these speakers sound so "gniales" there is an add-on to reset the HP phase! The one is well aware of srieux the design of these shoes botes ...

Usage: crash test of a mix with a lambda pregnant!

SOUNDS

Dynamic?? know

OVERALL OPINION

I agree on the principle of crash test
I can not count the number of times I did unstoppable rhythmic lines of groovy magic boom boom with incredible dynamic that sounded terrible on my speakers .... eventually never be able to share both standard speaker that made pasty, ca cracked, crack, spit pregnant m. .. e of everyman ...
So the coup bah I'm a fan of these small speakers ... which allow me to repeat the dynamics and levels of compression so as to make it home (in the idea eh ... there's no risk to come out like that of a chain 500 balls) among others ... becaufe free music sharing of emotion is like sex without a partner ... it's just no

yes I forgot ... I now use personal speakers with a chain "Hi-Fi" piece of the 80 Sony (DSOL I remember the model) than the sounded not too bad with acute presques very good and fairly neutral the rest ... if anyone sees what I'm talking about model I'm looking for a pair deuxime?

It's been a 16 years old I work with. I bought these famous NS10M complter for a monitoring system JBL. Their goal of working: a mix vrifier, the purpose of reverb, the work on voice or instruments lead: for this, there is no better. However, you must banish all costs amps "beautiful little arms" these speakers need a power amp like an old muscle Studer 2 x600 watts (YES!) Or Amcron D-75, or a P -2075 to a minimum. These speakers are only useful in a studio or home studio for a monitoring system complter suprieur .../.....

SOUNDS

.../.... indeed, the curve of frequency drives yamaha is catastrophic and that is default and all its qualities Confre; explanation: The bottom is non-existent, tired enough mdium floating down the Submitted very medium and trs trs prcis and treble a little clip. For those who want to control the whole spectrum of his grave mix with just this pair of listening is impossible, however, to vote, it's really enjoyable. When they are powered by dynamic amp (not a Yamaha A-100 full of distortion of any kind .... like a real one or BGW Amcron etc etc see above), they are not, however, the tiring Long: good point. The stereo image is impeccable: 10/10. The horizontal bed seems the best solution.

OVERALL OPINION

What I love most: working on vocals / lead, for the reverb, the precision of the medium, its lack of bottom (yes, there are other systems for a), image stereo, It's everywhere and it is convenient, the price ... the obligation to work with a monitoring system diffrent and ample in its response to severe acute frquence. .... So, in fact, I like all the default this forum because it is through this forum is the most Submitted in all studios around the world .......
What I like least: its indpendance vis vis the amplification: there are everywhere, ok, but all in one amp DIFFERENT! most often, with an amp m ******** (Samsom, Yamaha A-100, Alesis Ra-100 = bad association and yuck!). The obligation to play a possder tweeters on hand in case o. Any fawn, it only takes 10 minutes in all and for all, and in 16 years, I did change once: one tweeter grill ->, as with any speaker, replacing the two (for the pair) is more intelligent. I do not like: the shutdown grrrrrrr.

You'll understand if you DSIR for a system that cost alone: ​​these speakers do not agree, however, is the only choice for a system that exists covering complter dej properly the full range of frequencies.

Then with the sr good exprience I would do this choice! The report quality price of this speaker is exceptional: there is no better. I will never sell. I love them!

Let me be clear, I have no reason to give my opinion about these famous NS-10M ... except that it irritates the hair to see anything and everything here and so many people in one direction s'acharner the other to defend or get the equipment ...
...
So finally, as I am a player, I (you) tell me too what I think ...
I owned a pair of NS-10 between 1997 and 2002. five (long) years I worked as an assistant also studio pro, I give you a mile, they were obviously present ...
to progress and not to die stupid, but for me to play "pro", so I offered a pair with the amplifier suitable for my home where I did nothing but compose.

All day long I therefore NS-10M in the leaves. compared with the time course with the big Genelec and Tannoy embedded in the studio, they were itty bitty ... at any point of view. I'm not saying they were bad, no, but it is clear that it did not sound. and like everyone else I'm used to (sure?) and it was normal as was lowest in the end if it sounds the above, it will ring everywhere else ...

Yes ... but! if it sounds on Genelec and we know that the master sound equally well elsewhere, too!

I think, and I remain convinced that for once, everything is a matter of habit. my personal mixes sounded not too bad with me on my NS-10M, and sounded just as well in the car of my neighbor. when I am separated to buy powered speakers (I'm shy, I took over with MSP5 ...) I was a confused time. finally after heavy use, my mixes sounded good on MSP5 and just as well on the clock radio in my neighbor ...

Today I work on HS80 and ... I'll let you write more.

in short, yes it is bad speaker in the sense of the term flattering, I mean, obviously, compared to listening to the same song will sound more "powerful", punchy, heavy on my HS80 on the NS- 10M ... like the same song will sound "better" on JBL to 1900 euro each on the headphones of your iPod ... but uh ... is not it just normal?

rebref, these speakers are in my view no mythical or necessary, and pay the price they are now is pure bullshit. it is the snobbery of home-studio owners frustrated. unless you nab a pair of 150 euro, I do not see the point now in 2008. competition, even within the Yamaha is well above qualitatively for much cheaper. Other brands also offer the very good cam. but damn 500 euro a pair of tweeters opportunity for MIDI, let alone one must add the amp and it is better not to add such a shit Samson or Alesis or ass, it's getting super expensive for a "standard "which was a fad.

In conclusion, it is not bad speakers, just that they are "outdated" and over-rated. the vintage look is not valid for everything related to home studio and music in general ...

OVERALL OPINION

I give 5 all over 10. an opinion, mine, which is only my opinion. without trying to revive a controversy that speaks very well alone. but as a former owner of the material I "had" to say what I think.
up to you to sort out ... and buy knowledge.

I notice the mixed NS10 trs.
Long ago, I used the NS40. I shut enchant for what I did. There is even longer, I had Cacaboudin SUPERTURBO Deluxe mch paper woofer with a plastic basket. But these n'taient not bad enough I got and I have therefore changed for NS40.
Then I sold my NS40, can not satisfy my needs and I acquired a pair of NS10 occasion.
What was my joy at discovering the sound wave (still a very pretty word) out of the box shoes.

Well, a little j'xagre. What is true is that they are trs trs bad speakers, just as it is true that it is in all studios Submitted who respect in this world.

There is a reason cel. The same as that which motivated my choice. They are downright rotten. So much so that a final mix that sounds good on the NS10 (very difficult to obtain) will sound great on any installation, even low-end. So we use the NS10 to race to the bottom. These final mix is ​​much more difficult couraging in good quality on the Tannoy or JBL.

SOUNDS

The curve is neutral frequency drives. Not difficult, it is so strait that there gure room for variations.
What good image?
The sound is quite clear and prcis if the mix is ​​excellent. Desired.
The dynamics ... If we need to make a phone snare by a 300 Watt amp APRS total silence, there is a dynamic, yes

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for 4 5 years and the particular feature that I like is that they are all particulirement infmes. I would not like is that the amliorent MODEL putting a good serious HP for example.
I used the JBL 4208, the Tannoy System 6 and System 8, and the famous Cacaboudin SUPERTURBO Deluxe mch paper woofer with a plastic basket.
The price quality ratio is hard Determines the extent where they are much too expensive for its product and yet they do exactly what I want. With exprience, I would do this chosen unless the NS5 Yam do so even worse. But it is utopian. Snif.
