Diy Studio Monitors Crossover Frequencies

It took me a few minutes to dial in the JBL, but once I figured that out it sounds smooth and complimented my setup perfectly. I'm not sure why anyone in a studio setting would want to use anything but the 80hz crossover. It had PLENTY of power, in fact, it's set to about 40 percent power to balance out with my studio monitors. Folks that say it doesn't have enough power need to turn down the gain of their monitors. The whole idea of a studio sub is not to blow you away (which this can certainly do) but rather to compliment (extend the frequency range of) the monitors. It does this very well. If you don't use this balance, your mixes will not be accurate may result in them being low-frequency deprived. I can easily switch between sub + crossovered monitors to monitors with no crossover with my Mackie 1642VLZ4 mixer. I just use a subgroup output to isolate my monitors without the sub. What makes this possible is that the HS8 monitors have 2 inputs, so your miles may vary. When dialing your sub in, remember that less is more. I've found this to be true in just about every facet of life. Happy Mixing.

Excellent reproduction of all the frequencies to be able to mix in my home studio.

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

Monitors by itself are good enough for small rooms, but if you have a bigger room, a sub is a must. It fills out the bottom frequencies and nicely rounds up the sound. Perfect for a 2.1 home cinema setup. Best matching seems to be with JBL LSR 305. If you have 308, the bass might become overpowering.

These monitors are wonderfully authentic at all volumes and frequencies. All instruments and voices are accurate when pleasure listening at a faint whisper and when listening for imperfections at volume. These are great for editing or for pleasure. I later purchased the HS8S sub for some additional personal enjoyment.

Very nice monitors. Nice, flat response at all frequencies. Nice stereo image. Definitely recommended.

perfect for studio tracking, great isolation and faithful sound reproduction across all frequencies, comfortable for fairly long periods of use. couldn't be happier with product and price. Highly recommended.

I am using these in my home studio. I needed to create some distance from my speakers so to hear low frequencies more accurately. I was really happy to notice after getting my speakers decoupled from my desk that I could now hear a more realistic stereo image and a tighter more focused sound in the low end. I'm yet to fill the columns with sand but I'm sure this will again make a difference. I'm very happy with my purchase. The stands are well built, look great and are very stable.

I like the way these studio monitors sound. I purchased several pairs.

Seems to be a good value. I use it for my project studio monitors.
