Offentlig sektor lager mange podkaster til få lyttere

Sykt kult at du så det her og tok deg tid til å informere! Jeg var litt rask til å skrive her ser jeg. Visste ikke hvilke genelec det var. Trodde det var 8030 til 7k stk. eller 8040 til 12k stk. som ville vert litt overkill for en podcast. 18i8 er vel fort minimum om det er behov for flere mikrofone

8 years old 8030a vs new 8010

I own both and can tell you that the improvement is substantial. 8030’s offer much better bass extension and even if you would run them with a subwoofer I would still recommend the 8030’s over 8010. For reference I use the 8010’s in my work-from-home setup, so mainly Teams calls and some low volume

My basement studio

Those 8030 Genelecs are probably 10 years old believe it or not, hard to see but I have the 7050 sub behind the minimoog. I mainly use them when I am designing sounds on the modular system but sometimes I reference on them. Even a 10 year old speaker still handles business

Hifi speakers are generally voiced or designed for distance listening. Get yourself some decent near field monitors especially since you have a high end digital mixer with those excellent Neve transformers to really appreciate this mixer. I have owned a lot of high end rotary mixers including ARS. T

Dry low end recommendation

Get the Genelec sub, its really , really worth the money. But, dont take the smallest, the 7050c is made for the 8020(c) and gives you all you need. I use it with a pair of 8030c and its a whole different sound without. Your small nearfields will sound better, mostly because of the filtering in the

Active speakers for rotary mixer

I have used quite a lot of different active monitors at home over the years. 2nd hand classic Genelec 8030c off eBay. They are virtually indestructible due to their aluminium casing and have an excellent sound for all sorts of rooms. Or the base model Focal monitors which are designed for DJs. Focal

complete newbie

Genelec cant go wrong, happy 8030c user here ( bought last year, €550/pc ). In my opinion the 'a' is a good unit, newer models are a bit updated ( more power, auto off option i believe and some other settings ) but i really recommend to ad a subwoofer. I use the 7050c, the 5.1 subwoofer and i really

Need an advice: Genelec vs Focal vs Neumann

Can't go wrong with Genelec. I have a surround setup with 8030 in the front and 8010 in the back with 7050 as the sub. 8010 definitely needs a sub but 8030 and 8020 can live without it. Neumann and ADAM should be a fine choice as well, haven't listened to the Focal Alphas.
