Studio Monitor 5.1 Used

Used in a small studio.

Bought these to wire up my studio's 5.1 set-up. They're nice solid cables.

Used on a Ronin-M for monitor.

Used to connect second monitor.

Used as a second monitor. It works.

Used the ELAC Debut 2.0 OW4.2 on-wall speaker for my 5.1 surround setup. It came with small clips for wall mounting but I found it useless. Instead, I purchased proper wall mount speaker stands and they worked perfectly. The OW4.2 has two ports on the bottom of the cabinet so need to make sure the speaker stand does not block the ports. The speakers are well made and the perfect size for my room.

We use the sub in our post production studio's 5.1 setup. The speaker is clean and precise. Perfect compliment to the A8's. it was well worth the 6 month wait to get it.

I spent a long time looking into various 5.1 surround bass management solutions that would work with regular Windows audio as well as audio through a DAW for studio and game development use. There are various software solutions for each, but most would not give consistent results between Windows system and DAW audio. I started looking for either a bass management hardware unit (some add latency) or a surround controller with bass management (way more expensive than this sub), then came upon the few Genelec subwoofers which have built-in surround bass management. I only have a 5.1 surround system so I chose this sub, and am happy I did so. While the cost is higher than I would like, there aren't that many other subs that handle surround bass management, and it handles both bass management and LFE duties well. The manual is comprehensive, and there are little switches and a knob on the side that allow you to customize rolloff, boosts, power saving, 4 phases, and sensitivity. Noise floor is very low, and it pumps out enough oomph for my calibrated small home studio even with the largest rolloff as well as the lowest input sensitivity. I'm not using it to shake the house, but rather to hear the lowest frequencies correctly while mixing and listening to all kinds of stuff. It's also smaller than some other subs, and that's a plus for my room as well. I don't really have anything to complain about for this sub other than Genelec's pricing, but since there are few subs that handle surround bass management and I didn't find any cheaper than this, it is what it is. Great product.

This is a gadget built for a very specific purpose and seems a little expensive compared to something like an Alesis Nanoverb which can do so much more for less. However, this little box solves a huge issue, and that is matching audio delay to video delay. We use 3 of them to cover all 6 channels in a 5.1 editing suite. Our video goes from the edit station to the 4K monitor via HDMI. The audio goes analog from the sound card to a 5.1 amp. As is typical with all HDTV and UHD monitors, there is a small (150 millisec) delay of the picture in the monitor due to the time it takes to process the signal and display it. As a result, the audio would come out the speakers 150 ms before the picture, thus creating a terrible loss of sync that's really annoying. This little gadget allows delay to be dialed in to the audio in 50 ms increments, up to 300 ms. We set all 3 to 150 ms and problem solved. They have no power switch so we plug all the wall warts into an extension cord plugged into the switched outlet on the back of the amp and they come on and off with the power button on the amp. My only complaint is that they are so small and light, what the heck do you do with them? We velcroed them into the back of the rack.

Used for on location and studio portraits
