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

I need help choosing monitoring speakers!
I would not get a 25 year old active speaker. There are lots of options around the PMC result6 price point like the Genelec 8040 or Neumann KH150. Ascilab is also Korea based and worth looking into.

Klipsch x Euphonia
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

Suggestions for a living room setup
Another consideration is that while Genelec subwoofers are great, especially the SAM models with room correction, they are also quite expensive. Non-SAM speakers like the 8040B can be paired with a subwoofer like a Kali WS-12 that costs 30% of a Genelec 7360A.

Tempted to go from Focal shape 65 to Kali IN8V2, please talk me out of it guys
Absolutely agreed on the non-coaxial Genelecs, the 8351s we have are pretty remarkable and smoke the Kalis (as they should for $5k/each), but the Kalis really hold their own against the 8050s and 8040s. And yeah, even working at 80db is a lot for me, 75 is my sweet spot and I feel like the Kalis rea

iLoud MTM MK2 vs Genelec 8010 — which for a small untreated room?
Get the largest speaker you can afford. Get the 8030 or 8040 if possible. That being said the ilouds have digital room eq correction built in afaik. The genelecs you mentioned don't have that. You need to either spend significantly more on the genelecs to get room correction or buy something like so

Need an advice: Genelec vs Focal vs Neumann
All of those are good value and excellent monitors, choose what fits your budget and what you can find locally. If there's a chance to test some of them before buying go do that but don't worry if you can't test them all. No bad choices here. Personally I've had Genelec 6010 and 8040 monitors and I'

Upgrading studio monitors for mixing/mastering — need your input
Thanks a lot for the detailed answer! My room is treated fairly well – just had some minor issues that I’ve managed to solve using Sonarworks, and it really helped dial things in. I’m currently using Kali 6s and feel okay with the woofer size, so the 8040 seems like a comfortable step up. I also loo

Studio Speakers
This is good advice!!!! I had to figure that one out the hard way. Got myself some Genelec 8040B + 7040A only to find out that my room is so terrible that there is hardly any benefit to systems half their size. That being said. I dont regret since they are a longtime investment. But yea before you g

DJing from a Conservatory - best near field speakers?
I have used Classic Genelec near field monitors for years. Currently use the Genelec 8030c in white as they blend into my white lounge walls on their official mic stands which are space saving and can adjusted to any height, which also means you don’t need a large desk to accommodate monitors. They
