Using Bookshelf Speakers As Studio Monitors

Exactly what I needed for my bookshelf speakers!

Sounds great crossed over with bookshelf speakers in a 5:1 configuration!

Using these stands to support large JBL nearfield studio monitors. Work quite well. Light weight and very stable. Easy to move around as needed.

Great size for bookshelf speakers, Light and easy to put together ..

I have powered up my old Tannoy System 8 monitors in my home studio after using various powered speakers the past few years. This little Pyle amp makes them sound as good or better than my old Kenwood that pooped out 10 years ago. They have such good bass that I don't need a sub. I am pleasantly surprised by this inexpensive piece of gear. I even like the the blue light. Go Pyle!

High quality studio monitors that look great! In a world of black speakers it's so nice to have good looking monitors with studio sound. Setup is easy and you can put the volume knob speaker on the left or the right. Good bass, clear highs and accurate reproduction with no baked in EQ. Would definitely recommend!

The best studio monitors at this price level, PERIOD. They produce sound accurately and clearly for film and music production. The response is flat enough where it counts and they combo as great speakers for enjoying any kind of entertainment partnered with a sub. I use them every day, and I couldnt be happier. Ive used plenty of monitors, and these are my go tos at my home studio and at the office. HOW THEY COMPARE They arent as clear and flat as the Yamaha HS5s but they have much clearer lows and mids, lacking that tinny quality and sound more accurate to how people enjoy entertainment without sacrificing clarity. They arent as bass heavy KRK Rokit 5G3s, but they also arent as muddy as the KRK Rokit 5G3s and have a much clearer treble response. They kill the M-Audio BX8s in every single way—the BX8s are muddy, dull, and hard to listen through. Terrible, really, do not buy M-Audio for accurate audio, and Id say the same thing for the Mackie CR4s. The Presonus Eris E8s just arent it either. The only opponent Id say these have are the Adam Audio A7Xs, which have a much lower bass frequency response and a much more accurate high response, and are just the best monitors Ive ever used all around. The thing is, the Adam Audio A7Xs are $750 EACH. You can often pick these up for less than $250 a pair. So just do it. Buy the LSR305Ps now. Save up. These are the speakers youve always wanted and youve never heard anything like them. What are you even waiting for?

The more expensive studio monitors I originally wanted we’re not available so I ordered this smaller Edifier Multimedia set To use With my new M-Audio keyboard And computer until the other brand became available. But, after I installed the Edifier powered speakers and connected the system to Bluetooth, I was So absolutely astonished at the Superb sound quality— richness, fullness, intensity, and presence— that I decided I didn’t need anything better! I have since wired it to a Behringer audio interface and it performs just as Well as with Bluetooth. My studio is only twelve feet square and Is well insulated to prevent Sound reflections. Here’s a tip: the speakers are modestly directional so you should locate them deliberately around your workspace to experience the best sound quality. Finally, the speakers are high quality with very satisfying fit and finish. I’m really pleased I selected them.

I only needed an interface for a few studio monitors I have connected to my speakers. Was torn between a few models and decided to go with the Minifuse. Build quality is excellent! They gave me some great software with it, that I am now using due to having it made available to me. It blends in with my editing rig and isn't distracting with unnecessary lights blinking all the time. Knobs and dials feel great!

This is my first set of proper studio monitors. Previously, I had been using Sony bookshelf speakers with a subwoofer and a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro headphones. I really like these JBL 306 monitors. In my 10x10 room these speakers produce plenty of bass, even for electronic music a subwoofer would be overkill. I bought mine on sale for $240, yet I think they are worth at least the $400 original price tag. For small to medium studios I think these 306’s are perfect, I think the 308’s would be a waste of money and a waste of space.
