Is high-end outboard lost on mid-tier mics? Rather better mics than add outboard pre, eq, comp?

Oh yeah, I do! Love my KH120’s and well-treated room! Valid question/suggestion! I’m sure I could do better monitor-wise, like some big sexy ATC’s (the dream), but my Neumann’s continue to serve me and my humble little space well more than a decade in!

Studio Monitor Recommendations — Alternatives to the Genelec 8330

A comparable choice would be the Neumann KH 120 II. This model is front-ported and therefore can be placed right against a wall. Other than that they are very similar to the 8330 in performance and build quality.

Let’s See Those In-room Response Curves!

Minidsp Flex driving two Neumann KH-120 II's and a pair of OG SVS SB-1000 subs in fullrange stereo mode. Heavily treated small room, focused on tight balanced decay across frequency range for analytical nearfield use. Target curve 6dB bass boost from flat. The subs have evil THD below 35Hz so I drop

Home Office Speaker - Desktop Placement / Nearfield Listening

Active near-field monitors will win in nearfield most of the time due to active crossovers and dedicated waveguides. Check out Neumanns KH-120.

Budget Atmos vs High-end Stereo Monitors

That's a tough call honestly. I feel you on wanting to future-proof with Atmos, but tbh a great stereo mix translates better than a mediocre Atmos one. If your room treatment is already solid, I'd lean toward investing in high-end stereo monitors first - something like Neumann KH 120 II or Genelec 8

Editors, What kind of speakers are you using to mix audio with.

You can for sure get a pair of professionally-decent audio monitors for $300-$500 US. They won't be great and I wouldn't use them to finish audio for Netflix or whatever, but for most corporate work, YouTube, and lots of other stuff, there are a bunch of good options. Here's a slight edit of a post

NS-10s/CLA-10s. Worthwhile purchase?

Problem with ns10s etc is that you can’t mix on them for too long before you get ear fatigue. Other problem is that they’re just not enjoyable to mix on in general. So harsh. I ditched mine and bought a pair of Neumann kh120 (and did the room analysis thing that comes with them) and suddenly everyth

Upgrading to Multichannel Setup- Need Advice

Unless people are knocking down your door for atmos mixes 5.1 should be plenty and you can always upscale in the future if you need too. I was in your position recently and went for Neumann KH120 (LCR), KH80 (LsRs) and KH750 (Sub). They were out of my budget originally but having good calibration wa

Just an audio curiosity

If you want to listen to music with pinpoint accuracy, and you are a rational person, you would indeed build the equivalent of a recording studio control room, or a mastering engineer room. But without the mixing desk, effects racks, etc What does that look like? 1. the room has acoustic treatment f

Why everyone on here think passive speakers are always better than active.

Based on cursory glance in Spinorama, 1500 euro budget might allow reaching spinorama score better than 6.5 after equalization, which is already very good. Something like Neumann KH-120-II should do the trick, especially if you want near field listening unit. Passives exist for similar tonal accurac
