Speakers, why or why not?

I rock JBL 305 speakers. Listen to them 99% of the time. I still have a couple iems. But still listen to 305s 99% of the time. The answer is simple. I don't like stuff in my ears. I still appreciate iems but still much prefer speakers. But I should probably mention that I live in a place where I don

I improved my monitoring situation, mixing is way easier and now I’m finding most plugins useless.

The accuracy of the control room cannot be stressed enough, but from an equipment standpoint, the things that have the biggest impact on the final sound of a mix are those things that turn acoustic sounds into electricity, and those that turn electrical impulses back into sound. Monitors are typical

52yr old virgin in terms of using decks/mixing or equipment.

Ok so there’s 4 main things you need. A controller, computer, speakers, and some headphones. Possibly a usb stick, if you ever plan on exporting your music library to play on other setups. For starters, I recommend a ddj flx-4. If you learn how to play on this, you’ll know how to play on any digital

Why there's no audio equipment nowadays like in the 80s JVC or KENWOOD?

I'd argue that a decent pair of powered monitors with a quality Bluetooth adapter running to a budget DAC sounds better than what 98% of average people use on a daily basis, and could be had under $500. Most people I know either just play music from their phone speaker or have some cheap Bluetooth r

I'm Done (For Real)

I used to have the JBL 305 monitors. Was super happy with the sound and the quality. They lasted 8 years without any issues at all. After that I choosed to go with the KEF LSX 2 LT two years ago. Big Mistake. During these two years they have broken twice. I cannot believe how this can happen. I list

In terms of budget monitors JBL control 1 any good?

If you’re excited about JBL just get the 305p they’re the same price as the control1 after you buy an amp and they were actually made for what you may be trying to use them for. They measure out decently for their price point. But with monitors in this range the rate of return on spending more is st

Found some 100% shielded speakers - Yamaha MSP5, the setup is complete... for now

Have been on the hunt for some fully shielded speakers for a while now. Had been using jbl studio 530s and 305p mkIIs, but both needed to be about a foot away and this setup needs them close to be at ear level. I did use audioengine hd3s for a bit, but they're pretty weak. I also tried shielding the

studio monitors for playing at home as a hobby?

Jbl 305p Mkii is a cheap home option. Tone Master® FR-10 if you want more amp like.
