Studio Monitors

[Plugged & Plain]

At the moment i have got some KRK-RP 8 but i would like to sell them for some "real" studio monitors (mastering issues :blink1:)

I have read a lot of reviews and threads. This is what i have in mind:

Dynaudio BM6A vs. Adam P11A vs. your advice

Please substantiate your choice. Everything else will not help me...


Edit: Can anybody tell me the differnce between the Dynaudio BM6A and theDynaudio BM6A MKII ?

Re. Dynaudio BM6A vs. Adam P11A I've never used either so cant help you there.


I use Mackie HR 624 Mk I actives - they have a very flat, detailed and pretty uncoloured sound and are easy on the ears so you can use them for long periods without fatigue - unlike Yamaha MSP5 or MSP10 which are quite harsh.

They are worth auditioning in my view - not cheap but worth it.

I've not heard the newer Mk II version but it ought ot be better.

Previously, I had a pair of HR 824 Mk I's which were just as good, but deeper bass.

the best ones ever which i use for producing and mixing are Yahama MSP5's. the sound is incredible and had them for years never no problem.

Yahama MSP5Dont' get me wrong... for the price they are great, but i need some more accurate monitors.

There is no comprehensible reason to exchange my KRK for the Yahama.


Mackie HR 624The Mackie HR 624 have been my first choice until i found the Dynaudio's.

My budget is about 1600 € (= 2500 $).
I would like to get the most out of my money ;)

it doesn't matter which studio monitors you use. the most important thing is that you know your speakers and how a track has to sound.
after you bought some studio monitors listen to professional mixed music and keep in mind how is has to sound. this gives you feedback to mix your own songs ;)

the most important thing is that you know your speakers and how a track has to sound.Good point. BUT: The KRK are more HIFI Speaker than Studio Monitors.

Mastering is sometimes realy difficult. Believe me, i try to "know" them, but in the end, they sound realy different to my intention on other speakers.

Therefore i definitely need new monitors.

Hey dude, I'll also buy new monitors as soon as possible.
Honestly I don't think you will get too much freedback from here, regarding production technical aspects, therefore you should search for a sound design/production website where you could ask and get answers in jfew minutes...like KVR or even tranceaddict (with its music production section).

with ur budget I would buy something really good...

[richie]

I can recomend Adam A7 for studio monitors but don't know if theyre good for mastering

[Yota]

I got this monitors and i must tell you they are excelent!!!... the sound that comes out from this beautiful speakers is really clear... they handle enough power to make trance/dance music and they are way cheaper than any other monitors in their quality range. They are about US$300.00 each but believe me, you will think you are listening a US$1000.00 speaker.

The KRK RP6 setup with the RP10 sub was rated by computer music magazine as the best 2.1 monitoring setup available. It may not be the monitors that are causing your problem. Room dynamics, the way they are set up and acoustically tuned, the quality of your source audio... all can lead to poor sounding mixdowns. I have never seen anyone need a better "quality" monitor for a project studio setup. 99% of the time I say don't blame the machine, look to the person operating it.

Well, thats my two cents anyways...

Cheers and good luck.

It does matter. A lot.
