KH 310

Neumann KH150 + MA1 ; slightly over budget but quality and imo by far the best in this price range/class. Will obviously not sound like ATC, only ATCs will - the neumanns are more linear. Edit: I have the KH310 + KH750 + MA1. I’ve been to many (high end) studios and my setup punches far above its we

i'd do some simple, basic acoustic treatment first. then, and only then, look at better monitors than a7x. a good, linear listening enviroment is a combo of good acoustic and good monitoring. throwing money at monitoring only - is a waste. and most frequent amateur mistake. to keep it affordable, i'

Neumann kh310 flush mounted (on concrete pillars) with a kh750 subwoofer. I don’t like subs on most systems, but this works great in my room. Calibrated using Neumann software and then double checked with REW and a UBIK-1 I’ve got up to 3 ft of insulation as absorption on each wall, with a minimum o

Post one of your mixes or DM it to me on Instagram @samchoatemusic and I’ll type up some notes for you. I mix on Neumann KH310’s in a well treated room.

very cool. mine replaced a much more expensive Neumann kh310 pair and sub in my very small (9'x9') room. they sound fantastic in that setting too. paired with some very old Naim gear exceeded expectations. imaging on an album like "Urban Bushmen" put the Neumanns into storage. : p

Indeed. Nothing better in that prize category. To me personally there’s actually nothing I like more until 1900 each. Which would be the Neumann KH 310. Technically there is some stuff obviously above 1500, but in a perfectly treated and measured room the SC307 sounds soooo good and fun. Lowend cuto

I think active monitors are a good choice here, if only for space reasons. I recommend the MOTU M2 as an audio interface, two Adam Audio A7V speakers, and a matching measurement microphone/software from SONARWORKS. Optionally, you can add a subwoofer such as the Adam Sub10. I have appreciated this s

Like I said, I already explained this. I've mostly mixed EDM genres with a lot of bottom-end. There isn't much below 40hz in any genre that is useful. And I never high-pass the entire mix. Just the kick and sub after saturation. Kick and sub are the only things that occupy sub frequencies. Most DNB

Who would hype up a 2-way speaker design with a 6.5” woofer as “mid-field”? Oh right, a shop would. Even a 8” Neumann KH 310, a fantastic monitor, is useless for mid-field due to the sealed design. That said, yes, prices in the US are terrible these days due to the import tariffs.

I am SO with you - I've had everything over the decades, my own treated room with Neumann KH 310 speakers, calibration systems including https://earthworksaudio.com/measurement-microphones/m30/ , and nothing has come close to the great results I'm getting with VSX - https://stevenslateaudio.com/en/v
