NS10’s and that jacket mate! What a combo!

One thing that's also really great on the ns10 is the transient response is so snappy.

Bought a matched pair of NS-10s with fitting Yamaha Amplifier about a year back and wouldn't want to miss them. Useless for low-end, definitely need a Sub for those, but that aside: love it. And yeah, the weirdest thing that I noticed immediately way more were effects on voices. Somehow it's really easy dialing in juuuust the right amount of Reverb and Delay

Great Video Adam! I learned to mix in a studio with a pair of ns10s, a pair of aurotones and a pair of giant JBLs. I know what they sound like. Years later I have the avantone versions of the first two. Again, I will know that things will sound good when I hear them on them. For hi-res stuff I have a pair of focal audiophile speakers in the lounge room. Whatever you have, learn your ears! Again, thanks for the video, good to see you last week.

I use Kali LP6s. They are good… but I don‘t really have an alternative to compare them to. Love the video

NS-10 Studio are my go-to monitors for mixing

Awesome! I was the guy who sold you the power amp on Reverb :)

Ive read about NS10's before and my conclusion is that there is a bump in response in the midrange and perhaps an exaggerated high end. What i find interesting is your use of sonarworks to presumably flatten out the response and of course using a subwoofer also. By doing this you are pretty much making them work like more modern monitors like Genelecs, Neumann's, etc, by targeting a more flat response. This would seem to work against the premise that the midrange peak helps you hear annoying frequencies and then compensating for them. I guess what I'm saying is since you are using sonarworks on the NS10s you may as well use a flatter monitor to begin with since you're removing the defects in the NS10s anyway. Of course ultimately everyone has to learn their monitors and work from there. Anyway, thanks for an interesting video and sharing your impressions.

Not completely relevant, but I have been absolutely loving D-Soniq Realphones. It's similar to Slate's VSX, but it works with a huge range of headphones, using an EQ correction and room/speaker emulation. It's extremely flexible and very convincing. I wasn't a fan of the Slates purely from a hardware perspective. I was so happy to find this solution. Would be interested to hear your take on it!

Confused. You EQ'd the NS10 out of the NS10?

I was robbed by pros when I was away from home. They took my NS10s I bought back when they came out. They were kind enough to leave my Auratone 5 c . They are amazing to find if you do not push a track up by literally a hair it will be as if that track was never recorded in the first place. I have these since the 70's

What speakers do you mix on? Have you considered going back to the old white cones?

Have a comment for shouting out London Grammar, Hey Now is an awesome track!

That sn10s doesnt sound anything like the ns10s, and also doesn't look much to the original NS10's to me. The Avantones sound quite similar, and look closer to. The Swissonic ones, sound awful, but look very similar to the originals.

How did you set up your sub with the ns 10 ? Cheers !

Don’t eq the ns 10. Have to say you need a good amp , without there shitty.
