Us Best Frequency For In Ear Monitors

Ordered a pair of these in October, but they were on continual backorder and didn't arrive until a week ago. Having given them a chance to break in a bit and get used to the sound, I feel a bit more qualified to review them. For over 10 years, I'd been mixing on some decent monitors and was very familiar with their response. I'd moved into a new studio space and the backorder time allowed me to familiarize myself with the new room on well known monitors, a very good thing in retrospect. When the A7X's finally arrived, I plugged in one to compare with the existing monitor. The difference was remarkable. While the first monitor had a warm and pleasant low end response, the Adam seemed utterly transparent throughout the frequency spectrum. Its lows are tight and punchy, but not over emphasized, while the highs put the other monitor completely to shame. With a reputed frequency response approaching 50 kHz, the high end sparkles with detail and yet seems easier on the ears during sustained listening. In a word, they sound truthful, exactly what one requires in a quality near field monitor. Also, setting them up for optimal coverage in the sweet spot took a fraction of the time spent aligning the other monitors. So far, am happy with the purchase and it was worth the wait. Will experiment by tackling some remixes of recent work this weekend and expect to hear substantial improvements.

Im using Marshall monitors for over 3 years now. not really happy with faded medium frequency but don't want to go other brand as desing and comfort on them is incredible. does this new bluetooth monitors have new type of membrane or is it exactly the same as old non wireless monitors ?

Great value headphone monitors with a flat frequency response for accurate audio mixing. Buying a second pair now.

I do many presentations from my home office and require high quality audio during these presentations. I tie this lav into an audio interface and monitor with studio monitors within 2' of the mic, even with high gain and the omni directional pickup I don't get any feedback from the monitors. This mic a full body frequency response. The length of cable is great for vlogging rigs. cons: when plugged into a mobile device, you can't monitor audio or use for video calls, only recording. The high frequency is a little bit lacking, loosing some clarity I am looking for in my recordings.

I have been using a pair of Tannoy Reveal monitors in my home studio for the last 20+ years, but to get decent frequency response I needed to use a 15 band graphic EQ and a Rane frequency analyzer... comes with a reference mic and a pink noise generator -- you try to adjust the EQ while watching the LEDs bounce up and down and adjust each band until the frequency response looks flat. I always had to tweak the EQ setting (maybe defeating the purpose) to make them sound more natural. Then I decided to upgrade my monitors. I went to the B&H store in NYC and listened to half a dozen, including Genelec, Yamaha, and others. I finally bought the Focal Alpha 65 EVO, which sounded the richest and yet were half the price of the Genelec 5. Bringing them home, they sounded much better with no EQ than the Reveals did with no EQ, but not as good as the EQ'd Reveals. I wanted to make sure I wasn't coloring the sound. So I bought the Sonarworks Reference 4 item. Well, it worked great. It comes with a very sturdy-looking reference mic. It was fairly easy to set up, it acquired sound points from about 36 spots in my listening area, and it took me about an hour to create a detailed frequency response curve. It has an application (and a plug in) that automatically corrects your computer's monitor sound output to flatten the speaker response. It seems to work great! The Focal monitors were fairly flat except for a peak at around 150 Hz, which the Sonarworks flattened, without having to resort to a graphic EQ. Unfortunately there's quite a bit of falloff below 100 Hz that I can measured, so beware... you will need a subwoofer with these monitors if you want to mix music. However, for general audio projects they would be a great addition to any studio.

The Sony SA-CS9 Is a really Sophisticated, and natural sounding Sub Woofer. I connected it to my 100 Watt Sony Receiver, and installed it on the floor exactly between 2 Vintage JBL L-15 Studio Monitors, mounted at ear level in my living room. I have many years of Audio experience, installing and servicing High end Professional and consumer grade Audio Equipment, dating Clear back to 1975. These new Sony Sub Woofers are so articulate and detailed compared to the boomy one note wonders of the early days of Sub woofers, dating back to the 1980's, It was so nice to use the crossover frequency control to exactly match up with my JBL's. The input level control has a wide latitude to match speakers of any Efficiency, and the line level RCA style cable over to my receiver sub woofer output was easy and convenient to connect. leaving the amplifier to do its job un-impeded, with no output restrictions caused by any low frequency draw. The sound Quality is Warm, Beautiful, Silky smooth and effortless, with lots of rich detailed overtones and harmonics, it seamlessly matches my JBL studio Monitors. I could not ask for better quality sound, I am very pleased with this Powerful, Clean and accurate Sony 10 Sub Woofer! I highly recommend it. DJ from the Seattle area.

I've been scared to mix on headphones for years because of frequency imbalance compared to monitors - these headphones feel very true to the source sound so far and am really enjoying them!

It took me a few minutes to dial in the JBL, but once I figured that out it sounds smooth and complimented my setup perfectly. I'm not sure why anyone in a studio setting would want to use anything but the 80hz crossover. It had PLENTY of power, in fact, it's set to about 40 percent power to balance out with my studio monitors. Folks that say it doesn't have enough power need to turn down the gain of their monitors. The whole idea of a studio sub is not to blow you away (which this can certainly do) but rather to compliment (extend the frequency range of) the monitors. It does this very well. If you don't use this balance, your mixes will not be accurate may result in them being low-frequency deprived. I can easily switch between sub + crossovered monitors to monitors with no crossover with my Mackie 1642VLZ4 mixer. I just use a subgroup output to isolate my monitors without the sub. What makes this possible is that the HS8 monitors have 2 inputs, so your miles may vary. When dialing your sub in, remember that less is more. I've found this to be true in just about every facet of life. Happy Mixing.

Love how they manage to maintain a smooth frequency response when held close up or away from vocal range. I own three and plans are to purchase seven more. Please make sure you tune them well with your monitors and feed back will be cut to very little or none at all when they are turned toward the monitors.

Best and most comfortable ear plugs I've ever owned.
