I have a budget of about £200 to £500 for a pair of active nearfield monitors but would be happy to pay more if a noticeable benefit could be obtained. What do you recommend?
These active monitors can automatically EQ their frequency response to compensate for your room acoustics. But how effective is this technology in practice?
Etymotic Research, leading makers of high-quality earphones, recommend their ER4S model for in-ear stage-monitoring use. We find out whether hearing is believing.
Every article I have read on the subject of mixing states that you want to have an 'uncoloured' room sound. So wouldn't it be better to mix using headphones, which will have no issues with room acoustics at all?
I'm interested in buying a pair of Alesis Monitor 1 MkIIs. Should I buy the passive versions and a good amp or just go for the active versions, which cost £100 more?
Updating their successful Reveal range, Tannoy have included new high-resolution tweeter technology, sophisticated room-correction EQ, and digital interfacing.
