KH 120 II

Hey, I can totally relate. I use Neumanns myself (KH120 II), but it actually makes sense – most listeners out there will hear the music on setups that are closer to HS8s than to high-end monitors. I wouldn’t be surprised if the HS8s simply force you to make decisions that translate better because th

Monitoring is EVERYTHING when trying to get a pro sound. The first time I sat in front of my Neumann KH 120 II, moving from Yamaha HS5, I was blown away by how easy it was to find what I was looking for in my mixes. If you can’t get a polished sound, it’s usually because of masking. If you can’t fin

I'm happy with the Neumann KH 120 II monitors, along with their finicky but helpful MA-1 alignment/calibration mic and software. https://www.neumann.com/en-us/products/monitors/kh-120-ii?variant=509122 But as others here say, see if you can hear a few leading models. Bring in the material (or type o

Neumann KH310 or KH120 II if you want integrated DSP on the condition that you buy or borrow an MA1 measurement mic. Flat as a pancake in the right space.

totally get it - atcs in an apartment is overkill even if they sound incredible. since you're used to that level of detail, you'll want something that still translates well. i'd check the Neumann KH 120 II monitors, they're right in your range and give you that surgical precision without the price t

It depends on your innate talent (I don't have a lot) and the time you can put into it (I've got a lot of that). I do think having good reference monitors is really really important, and while I don't have it in me to write the dissertation it would take to convince the reddit folks who disagree I h

So true! Yes, The Ones are the latest kind with Room Correction system. Also if OP is in a small room (which needs nearfields) I heard sooo many praises about the Neumann KH120 II + MA1 (Correction system). They’re even more “neutral and unforgiving” for mixing than the Genelec, and are quite afford

For one, the 8010 is to be compared to the iLoud Micros and not the MTMs, another league completely regarding bass reproduction. Secondly, I'm currently studying as a sound engineer and have my personal set of MTMs here in my dorm because I have to finish some work I do freelance and the whole schoo

Genelec or Neumann active studio monitors would definitely be the step up from your KRK active studio monitors. E.g. pair of one of these models: Genelec 8030C (ASR review) (Thomann listing) Genelec 8020D (Thomann listing) Neumann KH 120 II (ASR review) (Thomann listing) From Kali, I suppose you sho

i auditioned a bunch of these, and some much higher up, recently. all of them are good-to-great. I also heard a $100k Genelec installation around the same time so I think I have an OK frame of reference. Gen 8020 was a bit bass-light. Gen 8030 sounded amazing but the bass was a bit tubby and indisti
