Sterling Audio Mx5 5 Active Studio Monitor

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!

5 stars.

5 Stars, no need to say anything else.

I'm using the headphones to monitor a camcorder's audio feed in a studio and on location. The folding design is practical and sturdy. So far I couldn't be more pleased.

In our radio station we use this amp to distribute monitor audio to studio monitors, CD recorders, MP3 recorders and phone system. The adjustable levels on each output support broadcast and consumer equipment looking for -10 or +4 levels. This DA is built like a tank. As our first piece of Rolls gear at a very nice cost, we will be considering their other gear in the future.

I recently upgraded my studio with a 16-in/16/out audio interface, but with no headphone jack and no monitor control. This little box solved my monitor control issue perfectly. Extremely transparent to my ears, very solid build, all the controls have a nice feel to them, and great looks. The wood sides are more of a walnut color than what's shown on the website, which was perfect. Highly recommended.

Sony Studio Monitor MDR-7506's are alone in their class. All the field audio engineers and camera operators I know use this headphone to monitor audio recorded on location. They are ruggedly built, comfortable enough to wear for hours, and accurately represent what is being recorded.

It only took a few minutes to assemble and position these stands. I use them for my computer's M-AUDIO studio monitor speakers. Since I installed the stands, I've been wondering why I didn't buy them sooner. The sound is so much better having the speakers at the right height.

5 star product.
