Pioneer Rm 05 Professional Active Studio Monitor Review

I needed a monitor controller for my studio for two pairs of speakers and a couple of inputs. As much as some of the functionality of active monitor controllers appeals to me, the sound quality is first and foremost. And we all know that unless you spend $3k - $10k most active systems severely color your sound - a little more than my current budget. I wasn't sure what to expect with this affordable passive controller however, after spending a few weeks with it I can say without a doubt that it is a great addition to my studio. I hear no coloration or change to the stereo sound field. The Mute, Dim, and Mono sum functions are really handy. And the build quality feels good under your hand. My only complaint is that it would be nice if the knob travel was detented for repeatable levels. Two Big Thumbs Up!

This product gives a professional look in the Studio.

Great product! I use it in our professional studio for almost everything!

If your needs are anything less than a professional recording studio, these are the headphones for you.

I'm not a professional photographer, so this is the perfect lens to get great pictures. It's great up close but has just enough zoom to get my active family members on the run!

This is like a perfect audio visual point & shoot microphone video camera that will get more active use than my more professional cameras -- with simple very good top quality audio.

These are actually the best active studio monitors objectively speaking. The best on the face of the planet revolving around the sun

The HAUC Active Stereo Headphone Control Box by Whirlwind fits the bill perfectly for studio headphone control. Easily mounted under the desk, it is a solid piece of gear. In my studio, I have several headphone locations branching off a multi-headphone amp. Using the HAUC, i am able to give each user a choice of 3.5 mm and 1/4 jacks, and full volume control. Installation was a breeze with four screws. At my news-talk table, I have daisy-chained three thanks to the dual jacks in the back, and each still has its own volume control. Well worth the money and highly-recommended.

I have a Pioneer krp-500m monitor, which has limited HDMI inputs and no optical output. I'm using this switch to connect a chromecast, ps4, and nintendo switch, while outputting the audio via optical to a sound bar. It works perfectly and the auto-switching is great. Even though I'm not using the HDR and 4K capabilities right now, it'll be nice to have for a future monitor and TV.

The perfect monitor for the Mac Studio.
