This was very helpful. Although, I couldn't help but wonder if these steps were all done in the right order. For example, shouldn't polarity and alignment be done before anything else? I suppose it's the apps fault for not listing the stages in a logical order.
@michelakadoner2590 2 жыл бұрын
In the app, in the explanation for the EQ-Recommendation-tool it says, that you should use the level meter and the alignment first. Don't know about the polarity, but I'd assume that using the tools in the order they are listed in the app (which they did in the video) should be fine

What would you prefer klipsch 600m or these krk ROKIT 8 g 4s for music listening ?
@GetintheMix 4 жыл бұрын
We don't have experience with the Klipsch 600ms but at a glance, they are fundamentally very different from the Rokits. The Rokits are designed to be studio monitors, arguably favouring electronic music. The Klipsch are however HiFi speakers, designed for enjoyable listening to a variety of music with a more interesting sound. They will not have the same bottom end as the Rokits however, such is often the nature of HiFi speakers, so if you are listening to more bass-intensive music, Rokits will be the way to go.
@KRKSYSTEMS 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Phillip, the ROKITs will give you a more accurate representation of how the music is supposed to sound. However, the beauty of the new ROKIT G4 is that there are 25 EQ presets on the back LCD so you really have a lot of variety of sound. Thanks

Some people flip their speakers upside down to help their ears be in the sweet-spot, also to stop the woofer from being central (height-wise) in the room. You could try this, or alternatively you can get a tilting monitor stand, or wedge-shaped foam to help angle your speakers down.
