The clarity in your voice and how well the audio was treated for this video made me stay the whole video. It felt like a trust thing. Great video!, thanks for all the information provided!.
Agreed. I'm listening through Presonus headphones (came with SW studio bundle) and the clarity even on the record scratch in the background was awesome!
I love sweetwater more than any other music company. You guys just flat our CARE. And that's the difference. Truly thank you Sweetwater.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK THOMANN !!!!! AND THEN SEND ME THE DIFFRENCE IN YOUR SAVINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya well there changing hands so weâll see!
Sweetwater should make a sticker that say "In Mitch we trust"
đ€Łđ
Lol
Sweetwater Oscar Portillo yea seriously I canât imagine Sweetwater without Mitch!
Do it
@@sweetwater ayo where that sticker at?
Mitch could make gravy sound interesting.đ
Gravy is already interesting...
I started out on KRK Rokit 5s, and upgraded to Focal Alpha 65s, I've been using those for about 10 months and will never look back, these are amazing!
I have the alpha 65s as well!!! How loud have you gotten your pair and is there anything in the way they sound that you dont like? I have been afraid to blast mine in the year i have had them and just wondering if they can take a really strong volume. Best wishes from Ohio!
I have them too. Started with the JBL lsr308. I will NEVER look back!! My mixes have improved drastically!!
@@9877joseph Blast them. They can handle it
You say "on ANY budget" but you didn't say in which range of budget are any of them are for. A mention of the prices would be much easier for us to navigate.
EVERY price below is _per speaker,_ double it for a pair. Some are only sold in pairs, but the price is still listed per speaker.)
Presonus eris 3.5 - $50
Jbl 305 mk2 - ~$150
Presonus e8 xt - ~$250 (sub ~$400)
Kali in-8 - $400
Yamaha hs8 - ~$500 (usually on sale for $370ish)
Dynaudio bm5 - ~$500
Aventone cla10 - $350 (active $500)
Neumann kh120 - $730
Adam A77x - $1250 (they are side specific)
Pmc result 6 - $1500
Focal solo 6 - $1500
Ocean way hr4 - ~ $3500 (sub $3000? Per channel)
Atc sCm25a - $4500
Genelac 8351b - $$4000
I use Yamaha HS8 as secondary monitors and they are excellent for their price.
I donât usually comment on videos but man, I could listen to this guy talk all day! Excellent video!!!
Mitch gives the best presentation Iâve ever seen. His voice keeps me interested no matter what he says
I got the JBL Mkll for my bedroom and they make the work very nice đđ». Theyâre not very loud but details come so fine from my Fantom 7.
Check the back of your monitors for a -10dBV (consumer/commercial) audio to +4dBU (line/pro) switch. Quite a few of these companies that include an input level switch ship with the switch at -10dBV.
he didn't blink until the last 10 seconds
I got an Adam Audio 2.1 system (pair A3X and a Sub7) for my project home studio. Couldn't be happier. Thank you.
Definitely the best suggestions!
I have the Presonus 3.5 studio monitors at the moment, they are such great monitors.
i love the way you explain things
If I were to choose only one pair to try out it would have to be the ocean way hr4s due to their very unique design.
Very well put together. I currently have the focal solo 6be and in two days time will be receiving footprints 01 for extended low end which eventually I may connect a subwoofer to for even more lows.
DOES ANYBODY CARE !!!!!
I was able to pick up 2 classics in the yamaha hs80m's and the dynaudio bm5a's (the originals) about 2 years ago. All 4 monitors for $300. The guy happened to be moving the next day and could not bring them. Listened to both for a while and Dynaudio beat out the Yamaha's. I wonder how the mkIII's compare. Pretty satisfied with the OG's though
Sweetwater is the best, thank you guys!
I think it would be interesting to hear a mix comparison between all these monitors.
It wouldn't be an accurate representation on any of them in a video. You really have to test them in person to hear the sonic differences.
HOW YOUR NOT THERE ???????????????????
@@jon00769Yea I sense they didn't do it because they understood that. Plus providing even a visual eq of the mix would only help those able to read it accurately. But each situation is going to be different per room and genre being engineered. Great thoughts! :)
Those Neumann will need a sub at only 52hz extension (will drop off significantly before that). The low E on a bass guitar is 43-46 ish hz from my memory, so modern metal mixes would need a sub to get those low B notes that should be around 37hz?
Most of the time we don't really listen to the fundamental notes anyway. Challenging systems + modern mixes mostly show the upper harmonics of the bass ,unless the music are intended for clubs, which I think it's not the target for metal mixes. The KH120 go quite low for their size though. Absolutely agree with you regarding adding the sub to the KH120 for greater pleasure :P, , kinda lift the heavy work off the speakers.
I love my LP6's except for the constant hiss I get out of the tweeter. Its not very audible when sound is coming out but I always feel like something is wrong. even when I try to change power sources etc...
This guy is the king of rapid autocue reading.
Excellent introduction to studio monitors. Well done...
Great video! Thanks
Thanks for checking it out, Alex!
Any mastering monitor recommendations for larger size well-treated room (8 meters by 17 meters)?
I wish you could have provided what they sound like with the review
We are waiting for the Mitch Monitors Serie haha, nice video as usual !!! Who prevented him to use his guitar for this video haha ?
My old Alesises from '99 are the best.
I have alesis 6...s..
Incredible..but no mention here...eh
What would you reccomend for a small bedroom, just messing around. 250$ budget. Maybe hip hop, reggaeton beats.
I hear good things about Adam, but I think the best balance between price and quality for a home studio is the Yamaha HS. You really can't go wrong with them for mixes that reproduce faithfully everywhere, and you really don't need much more. They get more than loud enough for any home studio. If you're in a really small room with a really small budget you might try something else, but on average, they hit the sweet spot just right. I would also place good monitors above room treatment in priority, but that's just me.
Im thinking of getting the HS8 but adams is another consideration. Idk what to buy yet.
@@chiefyovany572 All I can tell you is that if you get the Yamahas, you will not regret it.
Is this still your opinion today? After a year or so.
@@coldloner7453 Yes. Iâve had HS8s for a while, and theyâve never done me wrong. I definitely donât need more.
@@vaportrails7943 Thank you!
Does anyone know what monitors would sound the most similar in a way to phone audio computer audio headphone audio sub audio and car radio audio? Cos that's pretty much what I'd deem the best monitors to mix on cos then the mix would sound great on everything
Hi, I am looking for a bit of advice.
I am an aspiring dance
music producer and I am planning on improving my production this year
and taking it all a bit more seriously and potentially making it into a
living.
My current monitor is set up as follows. I have a set of Rokit 5 Rpg3 and a Focusrite 2i2.
I
am currently in the market for a better / second set of monitors for
another reference, however, I am and not sure what to get. This is what I
am looking to achieve in my studio.
I want to be able to switch
between 2 sets of monitors, dim the volume, mute the volume and also
switch between stereo and mono and alos switch between headphones.
Also,
I would like the new set of monitors to complement the frequency of my
rockits I currently have, as in, when I flick between the 2 sets of
monitors they don't sound much the same, but rather have different
curses on the spectrum, etc for mixing like a car/iPhone/studio/club,
etc
I have a DJ setup that I would like to channel through the
same 2 sets of speakers which I am currently doing by using 1/4 jacks
through the line inputs on the Focusrite 2i2. I also have a Rode NT1 but
I don't use it much only when recording other Artists as I don't sing
myself.
My budget is about âŹ500. And I am currently considering the following:
Option 1
Keeping my current set up and buying
2 x Yamaha HS 7 or Yamaha HS 7 MP (Not sure of the difference)
Mackie Big Knob Passive
Option 2
Selling my Focusrite 2i2
Mackie Big Knob Studio
2 x Yamaha HS 7 or Yamaha HS 7 MP (Not sure of the difference)
Option 3
Either one of the interface options above
but changing the monitors to 2 x Adam T7V or similar?
Thanks and looking forward to hearing what you guys think.
I use ilouds mtm đ awesome speakers
I feel like the only person in America that bought Tannoy Gold 8's but I'm also here to say they're sick
I want to do live music (couple of vocals, a karaoke track, or couple of instruments) using my analog mixer and sending the sound output to this speaker. What speaker should I buy for indoor where we have say 15+ people max?
Any suggestion for a monitor speaker? Will be plugging in Mac Mini. I have a large room and need a room filling sound with balanced sound, punchy bass but not overpowering. For OTT watching and music listening đ§.FOR âč10-12K ($100-150) available in đźđł.
Short listed presonus E3.5 and Mackie CR3X.
Hi, i am looking for same kind of speaker's, which one you brought and how's the performance, thanks!
Yamaha HS8 are accurate and it will reflect the source to the point where all the faults get highlighted.
Acoustic treatment
Csn we have an update for 2023 ?đ
Where could I find the artists responsible for the music in this video??
no krk ? đ¶
Helpful vid fam
You should also go out and buy 2 sets of shitty headphones:
Beats
Apple pods
Because that's how people listen to stuff en mass. Using these as a check just to make sure there's no standout issues.
Yup
you actually have a great point
Dynaudio were the only ones who were honest about low end extension... None of the shown 7/8 inch two-way systems is able to deliver below 45 Hz, ...in the studio world we don't accept more than the -3 dB cutoff. The CLA is boxed shit und not to be considered a monitor. It's not even good at anything in particular. It's just this weird NS-10 mythos that seems to stay forever. Yes, I know that there have been some amazing mixes made on NS10s. But to get this straight: Every room has one, only one low end sweetspot. Use this space for a pair of honest and modern monitors. Like you said in the beginning: You will judge anything you hear through these monitors. Don't even buy CLAs or NS10s as a "reference"... Instead get references people use today, like air pods, bluetooth speakers, you get the idea. Nobody is using AM-Radio anymore, or 80s style HiFi speakers - why reference on them... They're also incredibly expensive for what they are. Get a pair of 80s paper woofer speakers from our dads best friend, or whatever :D
What are the loudest most economical monitor speakers
Adam T8Vâs are the best choice for affordable monitor option. That is all, folks.
I have the T7Vs and love them. Super balanced and sound perfect with a bit of dsp room correction
how's the hiss when turned up loud ?
@@pablo-zn1mg not noticeable. Even when sitting in the mix position without anything playing itâs very quiet. When you start listening the noise isnât noticeable, similar to other high end powered monitors.
Theyre good but not everyone likes amt tweeters. To me they always sound like the tweeter is playing separate from the woofer. Its why I believe the higher end adams use small mids for a better transition. I did like the T7v but they were a little bright for me. I prefered krk g4s from all the monitors in a similar price range. They dont have the high end extension like the adams but their mids are perfection.
@@sergeysmelnik I was about to choose the Adam T-Series, till I compared them to my Kali LP-6. The Adams sounded a little sharp compared to the Kalis. Bought the Kalis and I am beyond happy my decision.
Great, but when will you guys be back in stock for the yamaha hs8?
Hi, Jentsmen! Our team would be glad to look into the availability for you. When you have a moment, please give us a call at (800) 222-4700 or email us at sales@sweetwater.com. Thanks for the message!
Kali audio lp6
What about KRKs?!?
@Nasty Paz there still siick..
Thank you, Mitch!
Brother, I have two options for buying a new monitor (Adams TV5 & Yamaha HS5). Suggest which one I picked for mixing and mastering.
Hs5 i have em and i trust em
I have the HS5 and they are really snappy and good for stereo imaging but they have a quiet weak low end ( in treated rooms ), rolling off from 100hz, and a really nasty peak at 1khz :( you get used to it but it makes it hard for hearing problems in the mix ( boxy sounds and mixing vocals ), luckily I calibrated them with Sonarworks and they changed completely ! No coloration and the bass response is flat up to 50hz ! Now I can really trust my eqing, and the amount of effects I use on my mixes, and the good news is that they sound way better on consumer playback systems !
What about Dynaudio 59"s how do they compare to the Genelec?
How does he remember all that!
He reads a teleprompter
Why doesn't the Focal Solo 6 have a TRS jack on the back ?
No monitor speakers is the best every monitor as it on frequencies, I think the best way is to use more than one pair of monitor speakers when you're mixing
Wattage is a terrible way to judge volume (loudness). There are speakers that can play significantly louder with 4 watts than some other speakers can play when driven with 120 watts. Use the speakers sensitivity to judge loudness, because that is an objective measure.
Also, using woofer size to measure bass extension isn't a great idea either. I've got a pair of speakers with six inch woofers that dig down to 20hz. Granted, they're very large speakers, but still. Read spec sheets. You can tell _very little_ about a speaker by looking at it.
There are no "rules of thumb". Don't assume anything. Don't make generalizations. They simply don't work with speakers.
Jbl 308p pair studio monitor need additional subwoofer ?
I bought a pair of jbl 308p studio monitor.
Its feel awesome normally no need subwoofer đ€©đ€©đđ
Legendary presenter.
If I wasnt such a Barefoot guy I definitely would go PMC or ATC. The result6 sounds great for its price and size.
ATC are the best! Better than the Barefoots!
@@SlinkiestTortoise23 nope, barefoots are better
@@user-th6rh8zp3t Not a comparison! Their nearfields (the cube gizmo) are awful and way overpriced! ATC smoke them!
What if you have a small room of about 12m^2?
What do You think about mackie mr524? Are good monitors?
DSP on a monitor is bringing a lot of techincal problems that can't be solved. First in line "phase".
fun to window shop though
What room size is good for 5"studio monitor
Where is iLoud micros? Best for smallest home studio imo...
I had them for three weeks and brought them back. God dam little things kept falling over due to the annoying large cable in the back. Ill wait for the mark II
Excellent !!!!
Just bought a pair of these JBL and I can't believe the amount of noise I'm hearing, everybody seems to like them, I would just like to know how can one get used to hearing that... Does the rest of the monitor really make up for that? Anyway these are NOT monitors you can play music quietly with. You have to turn the volume quite high to cover their intrinsic noise.
Dang, why is the water so sweet
For the price, nothing beats the Kaliâs. They became my main monitors.
You did a nice review. In my opinion in the middle of this price I would buy Monkey banana monitors. Sound much more balanced
amazing video
ikmultimedia MTMs!!!
It's funny how he mentions the NS10s when talking about the Yamaha's but not the Avantone - I guess he's contractually not allowed to utter them in the same sentence, lol
Focal!
No iLoud MTMs :(
They are very good!

How do you connect these to a lap top for listening to music
Josh Newsome
Youâd need an audio interface that connects to the laptop using a USB or Thunderbolt connection.
If the monitor has unbalanced inputs (RCA) you can get a long RCA to 3.5mm cable, just pull the RCA end apart so the left and right can reach each monitor. An audio interface IS the preferred method but not required.
This is assuming your room is already acoustically treated to house studio monitors.
Because you're not going to get the most out of your studio monitors if you're going to put them in a non-acoustically treated room.
Perfecto
Plz launch your website business in India too
KRK did not make the list. ayayayayayaya!!!!
psssssst..... a secret to share. Any speaker will do, as long as you have reference material to play and compare with.
đ§ą
love
I'm beating my brains since morning and even one guy asked the same on another channel....in these Monitors the Sound is being sent over from the Active to the Passive speaker....so where is the circuit for Actual Stereo Separation? Like in my 1975 Pioneer Stereo Receiver?
Focal sm7. What speaker could be better
Simple sad question: why did Yamaha stop producing the NS-10? Why? Just, why? đ
Cause u dont need them
Material used to manufacture the cones became very hard to find.
They used a very specific wood which went extinct in Japan.
What's your opinion about Mackie mr524?
All the homies love Mitch
Studio equipment is better than ever yet most music consumers are going to listen to a phone speaker or cheap earbuds. True audiophiles are like monks during the dark ages.
Chris Sullins Good point, so why donât you try making a fantastic mix by using your smartphone as your only speaker đ??
@@Truth565 because itâll sound like shit when youâre listening to anything better than a smartphone speaker.
just stating the specs is not useful, thats all on the website....listed point by point
giving some real opinions about the sound, and pointing out whats not good about each speaker is what is truly valuable for the one who has to decide (as we dont have the ability to hear all in an acoustically treated environment)
just because you sell these, doesnt mean theyre all good, they all have unique flaws, and those along with the positives should be pointed out
This guy gives me x factor vibes
đ
If anyone has extra monitors that are not used, give them to me. I don't have enough money to buy them. If anyone has extra equipment related to the studio (condenser mike, audio interface, piano keyboard, studio monitors and much more), please give it to me. Thank you for your love
Spoiler alert:
He is just reading the spec
đâšđâšđ
Please slow down a bit, you forgot to breathe!
I donât understand a thing he said- sounded like a string of random numbers and letters
Your voice has more color than that monotonous chatter in other monitor videos making it look like the product tastes like stale bread
What a waste of time. Best on any budget? Name the bloody budget.
