I got the 8 subwoofer couple of days ago and it's insane. It'll work in any room, especially if treated. I have the 5's classic and I use the sub at 20% volume with them.

Thank you! Your tip on moving around the room to find the best position blew my mind. I will definitely try that one. I don't think you mentioned the bypass switch on the KRK sub. I realise this wasn't a review but... To me it seems like a stroke of genius. It allows you to mute/un mute the sub and the filter, sending full-range audio to your monitors using a "standard" foot switch. Making it possible to check the phase alignment in the overlapping frequencies, at the listening position, and fine tune the position of the sub, without having to re-patch! You could also use it to great effect at a DJ gig. Engaging the sub after an intro or a break down, would enhance the dynamic lift. You could "play" the sub, controlling the dynamics in the low end with your foot. Since I am still waiting for delivery of my KRK S8.4, these are still theories to be proven. But I've got a good feeling about this one. I was impressed by your clear and concise presentation on a very complicated subject. Even tough I already knew most of the stuff, I continued watching, just enjoying the show. And was rewarded by the positioning tip😎 So thank you. I'll be back𝄢

Hi Phil. Can I add a 2nd subwoofer to my setup. If so, how must it be connected? I currently have a controller, sub 8 and a pair of monitors

I have to say I’ve been a Rokit fan for quite a while. The 10” Sub in the series has been on the list for quite some time now.

The 10s is insane. My only real dislike is it carries. I dont mean you can hear it in the next room or even across the house. you can hear it down the road.

Awsome vid. I have a question please. I have a ddj 400 and want to connect 2 pairs of pioneer dm 40 speakers and a sub to my setup but I don't know how to. The sub I have has no crossover and all the audio mixers seem to have just 1 output. I'm very new to this so any help would be brilliant thank you

Hey Phil I have 15” Yamaha’s for gigs some outside, do u think a sub is needed. I often feel warmth is lacking would a sub amend this. ?Love your tutorials thanks for your time

@digitaldjtips 3 жыл бұрын

Best thing to do is rent one and find out, warmth is a somewhat subjective term so it's the best way to find out if it's going to fix your perceived issue :)

I'm looking at investing at 2 x 15" active Pa speakers for when im playing at small parties. Should I invest in the best pa speakers such as RCF, or buy cheaper speakers (like Alto or JBL) so I can afford a sub too?

Go for the best you can afford and add a sub later

lost me @ 2:18, "Speakers" come agree or disagree the KRKs are monitors , the fact they are pre amped and you can adjust them independently , kind of suggests they are monitors?

QUESTION: I have 2 Bose S1 Pros but want more bass. Which woofer would you recommend?

@tobydulanski9480 3 жыл бұрын

RCF 18” one will do but if you love BASS 🔉🔉🔉 get a pair. For mid size rooms 1500 square feet I use 2 RCF ART 12” 2 RCF 15” Subs and when the floor fills I add one more Behringer 18” but should add another.

Does a 8 inch subwoofer paired with two 5 inch monitors produce enough sound for a party in your living room?

@shonkytours2039 3 жыл бұрын

Depends how many people turn up and size of room. A handful of people you could get away with a set up like in the video, but larger rooms and more people you might need larger speakers

@SLIC3R2 3 жыл бұрын

Depends how loud you want to go, The size of the room and party, and the positioning of the monitors. For example, u dont want the monitors’ tweeters sitting at waist level, the sound will just be absorbed by the humans and not spread throughout the room opposed to having them up high and above heads (thats why you see PA systems in the air and up high, not on the floor). Also keep in mind that monitors are super flat, from my experience i want to use a PA system or speakers designed for party/event use, high ends are modified, low end is boosted etcetc. Plus PA speakers are MEANT to be pushed and slammed to the near max where monitors are designed for mainly sound design. But work with what you got, just be prepared and dont blow your equipment by using it for something its not intended for

I have krk 8 monitors. Do you think that is worth having additional sub?

@digitaldjtips 3 жыл бұрын

It's quite a personal choice really, if you're a DJ I wouldn't bother with those monitors, if you're a producer making dance music then it'd be worth at least trying one out

@DerVandriL 3 жыл бұрын

the smaller your room the more worth it is to get a sub, due to room modes.

@satchelm0uth 3 жыл бұрын

With 8inch monitors, the point/effect of a sub is diminished. If you had 5inch monitors then the proposition is more attractive.
