Monitor
& speaker choices for studio & home recording
Monitors
vary greatly in quality, a top end recording studio
speaker system may cost thousands and in many
cases they are needed for the very best recording
and mixing situations but it is possible to buy
a good loudspeaker for less than a few hundred
Dollars.
As
a visitor to this site you are probably looking
to get a great sound and without having decent
monitors there is no hope in getting a result
that will satisfy. If you are on a tight
budget you can buy decent self powered active
monitors for less than a few hundred Dollars,
if you want to get something a bit more impressive,
there is no limit to what you can spend.
Take
in to account the size of room that you're using,
the acoustic treatment may need to be sorted out
and make sure that you have plenty of power, more
than you need, this helps ensure that you aren't
clipping the amp. This also brings up the
quality of the amplifier. We have heard
the standard Yamaha NS10's running off a high
end amp with a sub woofer and have been amazed.
Getting a good amplifier really is important as
is using good cabling.
Remember
that the choice of loud speaker is a subjective
thing, what someone else likes may not be to your
taste and indeed, a monitor that sounds great
somewhere else may not sound so good in your room.
Because of this we suggest the following
link to our favourite on lineretailer as they
offer an excellent returns policy in addition
to low prices. If you dofind that the monitor
that you've chosen isn't right send it back for
a refund.
If
you are shopping for a studio monitor take a brief
look at the kinds of loudspeaker and amplifier
choices available below - we won't go in to mega
detail but we hope that these shortcut links helps
you!
