Do 8 Inch Studio Monitors Need A Subwoofer

DOES EXACTLY WHAT I NEED IT TO DO.

I bought this for my Genelec 7350A 8 inch Powered Studio Subwoofer and it fits/works perfectly.

I was first introduced to Adam monitors at my previous production position by the head audio engineer. I knew when it came time to upgrade my home studio, Adam monitors were at the top of my short list. I debated on whether getting the Adam A5X models with a subwoofer or just a pair of the A7X. Because my home studio is small with untreated walls I opted in favor of a pair of A7X and no subwoofer. Absolutely no regrets. These things sound so amazing! Plenty of low end. This is one of the single best investments I've ever made for editing HD video. How good are they? My old monitors will soon be listed for sale.

I bought this for a desktop computer setup after hearing great things about Kali Studio Monitors. I had the Kali Audio IN-5 monitor spears for several months. Now that I have the subwoofer the experience is even better! I'm using a headphone jack to RCA connecting the subwoofer to my motherboard (PC). Then use XLR cables to connect to my Speakers. The bass for gaming is incredible. Optional foot pedal switch input that lets you turn it off easily when you want to be stealthy.

I have had studio monitors for almost 12 years now and I barely got this subwoofer. I realized I was not hearing those subsonic waves. With this unit you’re able to hear those low frequencies. Sounds amazing!

I am enjoying these monitors in my home studio. Originally purchased without the subwoofer (LSR310S), but added that and now is feels complete. Very happy with the quality and sound for my application. Crispy highs and great bass frequency response (more so with the addition of the LSR310S).

This is my first set of proper studio monitors. Previously, I had been using Sony bookshelf speakers with a subwoofer and a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro headphones. I really like these JBL 306 monitors. In my 10x10 room these speakers produce plenty of bass, even for electronic music a subwoofer would be overkill. I bought mine on sale for $240, yet I think they are worth at least the $400 original price tag. For small to medium studios I think these 306’s are perfect, I think the 308’s would be a waste of money and a waste of space.

First, 60W will probably meet your needs in a small video studio. I only use 2-8% of the output. Secondly, a standard modifier platform (Bowens' S mount), has saved me a great deal of time. The lower cost silent heads would only accept barndoors, gaffing tape and aluminum foil. Far Far easier to repurpose old modifiers or purchase new. Previously, I would have to retape the foil at inopportune times. SILENCE is critical for me. Recording a cast once correctly is worth all the post processing in the world. Nothing beats SILENCE.

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

Study and dynamic. I love it for my three 22 inch monitors.
