Top 5 Active Studio Monitors

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

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

Got these for a smaller studio I'm working out of for a getaway album project. I do production, post work, and mixing. I was comparing to other small monitors including genelecs, but already had the micro monitors and loved how those sounded. These MTMs, I'm happy to say, are incredible. The bass really goes down to 40hz in these tiny cabinets, it's insane. The imaging is really superb as well. I tried the Arc correction feature, but I got way better results with My sonarworks system. I love that you can put them on stands, I have mine on table top microphone stands, and they're perfectly ear level. Overall, these are way better than I expected, and the fact that they are semi portable is the cherry on top. Highly recommend!

If your studio monitors sit directly on a table top, these isolation pads are a must. Very effective and easy to use. The 3 ways you can use them (tilted up, down or straight) is great. My studio monitors sit on a table top and were at a little to low listening level, so the isolation pads not only stopped any vibration, they point or tilt the monitors in bit upward and work perfect.

5 stars.

5 Stars, no need to say anything else.

I have this as the sound processor for my kitchen system of JBL subwoofer and 2 JBL active monitors. I use it regularly and have had zero issues with its operation since putting it in service April 2017, now September 2022. This is not a critical listening area but it gets a lot of use. I detect no added noise. All controls work like new. I also have an older 215s and it too works just fine after years of service.

I replaced my active monitors with the ELAC speakers and a Yamaha integrated amplifier. Since the ELAC has coaxial arrangement of tweeter + midrange, I felt it would work fine for near field listening. I'm very happy with the result. With nothing playing, the combination of amp with passive speakers has no background hiss. My old monitors had audible hiss and non-defeatable auto-shutoff unless the playback was kept sufficiently loud. I'm using an RME ADI-2 DAC feeding the Yamaha amp. I chose ELAC's Satin White with Oak Sides to escape the all-black look of my old monitors.

I use this to control my active mixing monitors and it does what it's supposed to. No noise, a comfortable volume knob, the option of mono or mute, it fits right in. Good quality construction as far as I can tell, so if you need a passive control, this one is worth the money.
