As even a brief glance at the SOS forums will demonstrate, buying a pair of studio monitors is no easy task. With so many different types and models available, and at a vast range of prices, the market can seem like a perilous minefield. Help is at hand, however, in the form of our brand‑new publication, Monitors & Headphones: The Complete Guide To Products & Practice.
Available from the start of October, this definitive guide features an expansive listing of nearly 200 studio loudspeakers and almost 100 different headphones, with detailed specifications provided for each model. But that’s not all: articles from our Editor In Chief Paul White and Technical Editor Hugh Robjohns will not only help you to understand those specs and how they relate to your monitoring requirements, but also give advice on how to get the best from your speakers. There’s information on the different aspects of monitor design, including cabinets, crossover types and amplification, empowering you with the knowledge to make the right purchasing decisions. The guide will also feature timeless advice on optimising your control room, with tips on speaker placement and acoustic treatment, as well as extensive coverage of monitoring accessories such as monitor controllers, speaker stands and isolators.
Monitors & Headphones: The Complete Guide To Products & Practice will be selling for just £3.99, and can be bought from major newsagents including WH Smith, or from the SOS online shop. For more information, check out the web site below.
