Mpk Mini Latency Bluetooth Speakers

Its a Cable Nice and Long, USB Type A to B. I am using with my MPK Mini

Bought this to mix audio sources (CD etc.) with my Akai MPK mini play keyboard audio out. Works great. I enjoy playing along with music. Very quiet and no distortion. Covered the bright power LED with tape.

+ I bought this Akai MPK Mini MKII MIDI controller because I tend to have a creative itch that I have to scratch sometimes and lugging my Akai MPK25 can be tedious if you know the size and weight compared to this MPK Mini MKII, which is about 3 times the depth, twice the height, and a little wider too, but the weight is like quardruple at least. I work with FL Studio for producing music and this helps me mess around and build some songs. + What I love about it is not only its compactness, They give you enough controls to work with. You can't go all out, but you can get plenty done with this model when on the go. It fits in my Think Tank Urban Disguise 60 V2.0 bag, along with my 15' Sony VAIO laptop, Wacom Intuos Pro SE Medium tablet, and a Cooler Master cooling pad. Adds almost an unnoticeable weight. The pads are definitely more responsive than the MPK25 actually. + What I don't like about it is that the dials have a min and max. I honestly like the infinite dials. I tweaked my Lightroom to accept and map MIDI controller for use in Lightroom (ex: having an dial to control your basic adjustments). I can't really use this for that purpose, but the MPK 25 works very nicely for that reason. I'm excited that B&H is about to sell Loupedeck this upcoming August 2017! + Overall? This is a nice treat to have for anyone who messes with music producing. When I found out such a thing existed (I'm kinda late), I had to order one immediately!

The MPK mini MK3 has fulfilled all my needs, expectations and then some. FL Studio 20 recognized it immediately. The piano keys really feel realistic and the infinity knobs really did away with the limitations of its predecessor! Easy to program and with a myriad of available settings and controls, this compact MIDI controller sets itself as a must have. Setup took some time between downloads and activation of the different bundled sounds and software and it is done via iLok, so be patient as the result will be a very powerful addition to your music creation process!

Not too big and holds what I need! I use the small outside pouch for my AKAI MPK mini MIDI controller and the main bag holds my laptop, mics, cables, small speakers and there is room for more! Excellent construction. Zippers are quality too. I use this bag to . hold my portable recording rig and gear. Bag is fully padded and all around great product!

Although I carefully read through the documentation when I got my Akai MPK Mini a day earlier than projected by B&H, it is really a plug and play unit to add to my lineup for my Ableton Live 10 projects. I already have a great Roland FP30 digital piano/keyboard so for more extensive keyboard parts, I'm covered. But the Roland has to run through an audio interface and it can be cumbersome switching back and forth from direct USB plug-ins to my laptop and using the interface. It's too much work if all I'm doing is tweaking drum patterns or laying down simple mono tracks. That's where the MPK Mini is perfect and I was using it within minutes of plugging it in. and it's an inexpensive solution, so ROI (so to speak) will be off the charts.

I have numerous Bluetooth speakers but this one is by far the best!

There is literally no latency when recording a podcast, especially when recording a phone call via Bluetooth. The sound is crystal clear

I like the zero latency with which I can listen to audio from the movie playing on my big screen TV over Bluetooth, and I certainly appreciate the longevity of the battery. I hang them up on the lamp on my bed stand overnight so they are easy to find in the morning

I received my SRS-NS7 from B&H about a week ago and was totally hooked on it within an hour of starting to use it. However I want to offer some strong advice to those who plan to use one of these while watching TV alongside other viewers. My wife and I normally sit about 12 ft from our TV monitor and typically sit close enough that we rub shoulders. We have a Sonos soundbar under the monitor, with surround sound speakers at each end of our loveseat. I wear hearing aids but Patty does not. The optical output of the TV goes to a splitter with one output going to the soundbar and the other going to the Bluetooth transmitter for the SRS-NS7. With the arrangement described above, we both heard sound from the soundbar and the NS7, and there was enough latency difference to irritate us both. I have a technical background and had anticipated such a latency effect, but had no knowledge of the actual delays with either device. I spoke with an audio expert at B&H, asking for advice about a variable delay device that has optical input(s) and output(s). He could not recommend such a device that is currently available from B&H but did suggest a Felston DD740 that B&H used to carry. I looked up the characteristics of the DD740 and agreed that it seemed to be exactly what I needed. I purchased one from LipFix.com, after talking with their Nick Johnson. It arrived yesterday. After connecting my new DD740 in series with the optical input to the Bluetooth transmitter of the SRS-NS7 and experimenting with the delay, I found that a delay of 55mS yields NO perceptible latency effects that interfere with either what Patty and I hear while watching TV. The bottom line: We both enjoy hearing REALLY EXCELLENT sound, including very clear dialogue, while watching TV together AND I get the benefit of superb sound while editing videos etc. with the SRS-NS7 connected to the Bluetooth of my computer systems. I could not be happier with this purchase! Pete
