Technical Pro Passive Usb Studio Monitors

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

I have been using passive volume devices for my KRK Rokit 5 monitors but the ones I’ve tried seemed cheap and would often lose the audio signal if the volume was too low. This product has a heavy duty feel and the volume knob has some weight to it. It’s a pleasure to turn and feels well made. I don’t have the issue of the audio signal dropping anymore and I am able to plug my headphones into it and control their volume with a separate knob. I haven’t tried to plug my guitar or mic into it yet but I hear it is great for recording.

I was worried b/c very few monitors work with my MacBook Pro but this did the trick. The USB-C connection worked perfectly. Plug n play. Beautiful resolution. The control to access the settings is so 10 years ago. It's surprising that such a beautiful monitor lacks that basic technology but it works great so not really important.

I went from having dongles and cords plugged into all 4 of the USB-C ports on my Macbook Pro to having only one. This thing handles my two Thunderbolt monitors (QHD at 144Hz), mouse, keyboard, external hard drive, charging various devices, headphones, and power for the laptop itself without taking up much space at all. AND I now have the ability to use SD cards, something I was missing from my previous setup. This thing just works. My only complaint? The display arrangement sometimes flips when I plug the hub into the computer, but I truly believe that's a macOS problem. I was hesitant to buy such an expensive thing that just connects all my cords, but it really is worth it.

If you need a passive near field studio monitor a little like Yamaha NS10s but with a nicer sound these are your babies! They have low distortion and a really nice high end and not harsh but also retain a very workable low end which makes mixing a breeze. I use them everyday as a mixer in Los Angeles.

This studio monitor control may be passive, but its knob is anything but. Simple setup, minimal cables. Elegant buttons, and one glorious beast of a knob with butter smooth movement.

I like the way these studio monitors sound. I purchased several pairs.

Seems to be a good value. I use it for my project studio monitors.

The Tether tools orange USB cable w/type-C connector is great because I don't need an adapter to hook it up to my Macbook Pro which only has Type-C USB connectors. I used to use black USB 15' cables which were hard to see in the studio. The Orange cable really stands out even in a darkened studio! I use it between a Canon 5D Mark II and a 15 Macbook Pro and have had no tethering problems when working with Adobe Lightroom. Bob

Works perfectly driving my monitor from either my MacBook Pro or my Mac Studio. Automatically switches when either is powered up, or switch input manually. One note: I had trouble with mix/match outputs from computers ie one usb-c/ one hdmi) , but changing both to usb-c made all good.
