Thanks, yes they are very good indeed!

Thanks :)

Thanks, you're welcome

Thank you! Very much appreciated :)

Thanks! Glad you're happy with the monitors! :)

Hi, thanks. glad you liked the video. Monitors with XLR (three pin microphone style) connectors use a balanced line level signal to feed audio to a built in amplifier. You can use any decent balanced three wire microphone cable to connect your mixer or interface to the speakers. You only need to worry about heavy speaker cables if you have a separate monitor amp feeding a speaker level signal to passive speakers. As long as they are balanced XLR that's the most important thing, in order to help prevent noise issues and such, which is a very typical problem.

Nice! Glad you're happy with the monitors! :)

FireWalk Yes i Am :))

You're welcome. If you have a large enough room and the money for it, then go for the HS8.

what is your decision anyway to buy? hs5 + sub or hs8 ?

@@RockyHartono Unless you have a really small room, I'd go for the HS8. A subwoofer will allow you to hear frequencies the smaller cones can't reproduce, but it won't give you the same representation that larger monitors will. If you mix with a subwoofer on, then your low-end will be influenced by the volume fo the subwoofer for example, and the reflections of the room etc. While it allows you to actually hear those low frequencies, it can also make things more difficult. You might end up with a too weak low-end because there is too much bass build-up when you mix with it. Alternatively, if you only use it occasionally to check the low-end, it will be tedious to constantly turn it on and off to check all the time. It's much better to just have lager monitors that can reproduce the low end more accurately. Again, unless you have a really small room.

@@FireWalkMusic currently my room is very small.. it is less than 2.5 m x 3 meter.. but i am planning to move to larger room at the end of this year maybe... the HS5 + subwoofer HS8S will not sound better even in larger room ? the subwoofer HS8S low end does not give accuracy as accurate as low end on HS8 you mean or ??

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful! :)

Glad you like the monitors! I think these are among, if not THE best you can get in this price range.

Glad you liked it :)

A good pair of monitors combined with some acoustic pads and treatment on the walls can make all the difference. A lot of people are forced to mixing mainly on headphones for various reasons such as thin walls and neighbors. There are situations where headphones are preferable though, but generally I recommend monitors. Have you seen my video about headphones vs monitors for mixing? You can find it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8ynlcKisLeymIk.html

Did you get the HS8's?

Thanks, glad you found it useful! :)

Thanks! Much appreciated :)

Thank you! :)

The HS range is indeed very good. I think the T7V's are also very good. They offer slightly better clarity overall I think, but the HS series has a slight advantage in the low end, which is very important. Low end in general can be very difficult to mix, so you need accurate representation down there. Especially the HS8 is vastly superior in that regard.

A lot of KZfaqrs etc use studio monitors outside of music production, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you intend to mainly use them for listening to music, then you'll probably get a better experience with hifi speakers. Studio monitors provide a very flat curve, so they tend to sound a bit "boring" compared to hifi speakers. On the other hand, you'll be able to hear the music exactly as the musician who made it intended it, but it will often sound more exiting on hifi speakers, since they often try to sweeten up the sound a bit in order to make them sound good compared to the competition.

Even better then Adam A7V?

The HS8's are very good. I usually always recommend monitors over headphones when it comes to mixing. There are some issues involved with using headphones. I recommend that you check out my video about monitors vs headphones here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8ynlcKisLeymIk.html

You're welcome. It depends on how large it is and what's in it. Also, do you have any foam on the walls etc? If the room is very small, and or if you're forced to place them very close to the rear wall or in a corner, then perhaps the HS7 or even the HS5 will be a better option.

Generally, the rear wall issue is often exaggerated. As long as there's a little bit of distance between the port opening and the rear wall, you'll usually be fine. There will always be XLR cables and such sticking out back there, so it's not really possible to get the port all the way back into the wall anyways as long as the monitor is connected. That distance will usually be enough. If you can place it 10 - 15 cm from the wall then you'll most likely be good. A rear port will help reduce chuffing noise, which is why many manufacturers and professionals alike prefer the rear port.

Thanks, glad you liked it. I've been using both the T7V and the HS8 for quite some time. Generally, I tend to prefer the HS8. It depends a bit on what kind of music you make and what's most important to you. For EDM, and bass heavy music in general I would go for the HS8. The T7V has slightly better clarity though, and is less fatiguing to listen to over a longer period of time. It also depends on your room. If you have a small room then go for the T7V.

@@FireWalkMusic Thank you for your suggestion. In the meantime, I already ordered Yamaha HS7 considering all the variables, including room and cost. Hopefully they will be a decent upgrade from my 5" monitors. Best wishes! :)

The HS7's are good too, but yeah, they don't have the same impact in the low end as the 8" do. They are fairly similar to the T7V in that regard, except that I think the T7v has better clarity overall, so between those two I would definitely go for the T7V. However, comparing the T7V to the HS8 on the other hand the situation becomes a bit different. The low end response of the HS8 is much better than the T7V and while the T7V offers slightly better clarity overall, I find that the more solid bottom end of the HS8 is preferable, since it makes mixing low end so much easier. So between the HS8 and the T7V I would go for the HS8. Unless I had a very small room. In that case I wouldn't go for those larger cones. :)

I would say the only Adams comparing to HS8 are the higher series, the cheapest T7V / T8V are in my opinion not better in terms of monitoring. Not saying they are bad, yet they have certain and obvious deficits compared to HS8. I would say HS8 compete well above its price. Definitely one of the best if not the best pro tools in the price range. Worth the wait !

Thanks! You're welcome :)

The HS7's are great too. They offer almost the same acoustic characteristics as the HS8, except for a slightly reduced bass response, which makes them better suited for smaller rooms. :) Sounds like you made the right choice!

When you buy monitors, is it just one for that price or is it two??

@@Perilloux It's for one. A pair will be about $608 . These are not the cheapest monitors you can buy, but you get what you pay for. They offer professional sound at a decent price compared to higher end monitors that costs many times more, but offers only a slight improvement in sound quality :)

FireWalk well it’s better than trying to mix using headphones!

@@FireWalkMusic Are the HS7's still good for mixing low end ?

Between those two, I'd go for the HS8. They have a much better low-end response. That room is a little bit small, but if you have some bass traps and acoustic foam on the walls then you should be OK.

FireWalk I was hoping you’d say that, I greatly appreciate your time and feedback, thank you

Those are also good monitors! I actually borrowed a pair a while back, but ultimately settled on the HS8 instead. Having large cones is really helpful when it comes to mixing low end, since they will let you hear what's going on even below 50 or 60 hz. This is especially important when making the kind of music that you make. If you had been mixing on 5" monitors instead you would probably be struggling with a lot of issues in the low end. Using headphones wouldn't really help either, so I don't doubt that they have transformed your studio. Do you have any foam on the walls too by the way? :)

@@FireWalkMusic Sure do! How did you know? :D Entire studio is treated with foam, as well as bass traps in the corners. It's not an expensive thing to do either, but made such a difference.

@@FireWalkMusic yess👍, I saved Millenium SD-180 B StudioDesk in my shopping list, different deisgn, the only thing that I don't like are the wheels, but with some changes it can be fixed, btw thank you 👍😊

In my opinion, having an accurate low-end is generally more important for that kind of music and the T7V won't go as low as the HS8. That said, I'm actually making a review of the brand new T8V's right now, which is Adam Audios newest addition to the T series. It's a direct competitor to the HS8. If you want both great low end and clarity, then you can't go wrong with the T8V: amzn.to/3iAliSc

Good point! If you have an untreated room then I agree you should spend the money on treatment first. :) These will work well for most people, in most rooms. I've used some really high-end monitors and still, there is something about these that I really like. They are very well balanced and provide great low-end. That said, they don't provide the same astonishing clarity that higher-end monitors do. Even in an untreated room, a pricier monitor such as the Adam Audio A7V will provide much more midrange and high-end clarity than these, making it easier to do fine adjustments, edit vocals, etc, but even so, I would always spend money on treatment first. :)

Thanks. They are both very good monitors. At the end of the day it boils down to a few factors: 1. How large is your room, and are the walls treated with sound insulation etc? 2. What kind of music do you make? 3. Are you forced to placing them near the rear wall or in a corner? Generally, I think the T7v has slightly better clarity overall, but I found that they lack some low end. That might be because my room is both medium sized and there's foam on the walls. At least for me, the HS8 works better because they have a more solid bottom end, which is important for me since I make bass heavy music most of the time. In a perfect world I would merge the two and get the bottom end from the HS8 and the clarity in the mid and high range of the T7V's. I also have a video review of the T7v's here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLxxpZSZrLOoh2g.html

This? geni.us/monoprice104761 It's a standard XLR in one end and trs in the other.

What do you think about the HS5 so far? 🙂

FireWalk I’ve had them for years. I have a pair of HS8s also. Love them both! Nothing better for the money than the HS series imo. Whether it’s studio, DJ booth or TV, they do everything well! Yamaha MSP7s also fantastic monitor.

They are indeed very good. Definitely among the very best you can get in this price range!

Hi, you can connect them directly to the MacBook but you'll likely need some adapters. I generally recommend using balanced XLR cables to avoid any noise issues. Those are typically XLR in one end (going into the monitor) and 1/4" TRS in the other end. You would then need a 1/4 TRS to minijack adapter, but I'm sure you can find some balanced cables that's minijack in one end and XLR in the other as well. :) Generally though, if you're into music production then I always recommend using a dedicated audio interface. It's just more practical and usually provides less latency too.

It's a bit down to personal taste. Some prefer the t8v and some prefer the hs8. Between the smaller t7v and the hs8 though i would definitely go for the hs8.

@@FireWalkMusicthanks for the fast reply. I usually work on hip hip and techno music. Also the HS8 i have is used but like new and around 60$ cheaper than a new Adam T7v. I have to decide tomorrow if I want the deal. So do you say I should go with it or get the Adams new?

I care most about what translate the mix better. Well I also I just stumbled upon an offer on the T7v that is even cheaper than the Yamahas and comes with decent stands! Too confusing…

@@AmgadMakarem They are both good, but as I said, people have different preferences. Some really love the clarity from that ribbon tweeter, while others think it's too much. It's a bit down to personal taste. I would recommend that you listen to both before you decide, if you can. If not then it's never a bad thing to save some money.. :)

I think the HS8 should work just fine in a room like that. Especially with acoustic treatment. It's not too wide, but it's fairly long, so the low-end has space for the sound waves to propagate properly.

@@FireWalkMusic Thank you.

Hi, yes, it's $304 for one, so about 608 for a pair: www.amazon.com/Yamaha-Hs8-Studio-Monitor-Black/dp/B00DCYMVB2/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=firewalk02-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=8e4d4194e0d98d173d57e5750190cff7&creativeASIN=B00DCYMVB2

They are very good indeed and it will be hard to find anything better in this price range.

@@FireWalkMusic I had HS80S before the HS8s. People still think these are the same monitors

They are quite similar, but the hs8 is basically a new and improved version.

@@FireWalkMusic I definitely noticed HS8s better. Especially in the mid and low range. I love the low-end on these

The HS8's go quite low and for most people, a subwoofer shouldn't be necessary with these. However, if you really need a subwoofer to complement them, then you can use pretty much anything. The brand isn't really important, as long as the woofer is of good quality and goes low enough. Just remember that larger woofers go lower than smaller ones, so it wouldn't make sense to go for an 8" sub to go with 8" monitors. A 12" subwoofer will go plenty low, that's what I'm using myself. I don't use it actively while mixing though, only occasionally to check that low-rumble.

👍

singler or pair ? ... was tempted at £200ish for the 7's then realized oh thats for 1 LOL ... :( have to stick with my bronze b1's for now

Me too!

I just received mine ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It depends. Personally I would go for the HS8. But it depends a bit on your budget, and your room. If you have a very small room then I'd say the T7V's. I've never really been a fan of the KRK's. It's possible the newer generations are better though. I would have to check them out for myself in order to say for sure, but the older ones I've tried has been quite unbalanced and a bit boomy in my opinion. If you want great bass response and clarity at the same time, then the HS8 is the way to go. But not if you have a very small room. Lots of things to consider here. :)

@@FireWalkMusic Thank you

Thanks! Much appreciated :)

Going from 7 to 8 will have a huge impact on the low-end. I don't think you need both 7 and 8" woofers. That said, I personally have a pair of 5" woofers as well as my 8" monitors, to be able to compare the low end. Most 5" monitors that most people use can't go below 50 or 60 Hz, and the low-end will sound very different on those, so checking how the mix sounds on those can't hurt. That said, if you have a pair of HS8 then you'll be able to hear everything you need to hear in the low end, and you won't really need anything else.

FireWalk Thanks for confirming what i thought was right!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll put it on my list. The midi keyboard I'm using myself is a Komplete Kontrol: amzn.to/2O7qe3K I also have a Korg nanokontrol2 which I use for recording automation etc. It's a cheap and small USB mixer that works very well for my needs: amzn.to/2XtnHGk

@@FireWalkMusic Thanks man & please suggest me a 25 key midi controller suitable for FL Studio.

That's not a huge room, but I believe a 7" work. It will be in the upper range with regard to size for a room that size. I wouldn't go much larger than that. The 7" won't provide as much low-end as the 8", but it will be better than the 5".

@@FireWalkMusic Got it, thanks.

@@FireWalkMusic What about the HS8 in 11 x 21 feet room?

Hi, I have a subwoofer, but I rarely use it. with 8" monitors, you don't really need a subwoofer. Anything smaller than that, and you will generally need one in order to really hear what's going on in the super-low-end. That said, it's generally better to have the low-end coming out of your main monitors, but if you have a very small room and are forced to using smaller monitors, then a subwoofer can be a good supplement in order to allow you to hear the sub bass etc.

Studio monitors are probably not ideal for listening to music, as many find them kind of "boring" compared to most HIFI speakers. HIFI equipment is generally made to make music sound good. This means that they will typically mess around with the frequency response a bit. Perhaps they boost the low end around 80 a bit and so on, to make them sound good. Studio monitors on the other hand are made to sound as flat as possible, since they are meant to represent sound exactly the way it is, so that a mixer or producer can get a 100% accurate representation of what's going on in their mix. They are typoically also nearfield monitors, so again, hifi speakers might sound better unless you're positioned in the magic "triangle". The good news though is that studio monitors like this represent the sound exactly the way the producer who made the track intended it to sound like. So there's that. :)

Hi, I do mention this in my video about the best computer for music production, where I built the rig I'm currently using now. Here's the screen I'm using right now: amzn.to/33MGk8l It's a widescreen, but not ultra wide. I tried that once but didn't like the split screen thing. I prefer to use two monitors, so I use this as my main screen, and then I have another standard 24" screen next to it. That gives me a lot of screen real estate. The wide screen is perfect for the playlist and mixer, and the other screen can be used for plugins, piano roll etc. That way you have everything locked in place and you get a more fluent workflow. Especially in FL Studio where you would otherwise have to do a lot of open and closing of floating windows. With two monitors (or an ultra wide one) you minimize that, and speed up workflow instead. The screen I'm using has a natural color balance and is easy on the eyes, and it's not too expensive either. I can safely recommend it: amzn.to/33MGk8l

ApeKsh RaJ ChaUhaN equilateral triangle. Distance between each speaker should be equal to the distance of the listener at the apex of the triangle.

I recommend using them int he upright position. They should be equally spaced, and face straight at you. You should be looking directly at front of each monitor. The tweeter should be at the same level as your ears, and the placement should be such that the two monitors and your head form a triangle. Ideally the distance between the monitors should be the same as from your head to the monitor(s). That's the optimal placement. Also, they should not be placed too close to the rear wall, nor in a corner. It's not always practical to achieve all this though, but try to implement what you can.

FireWalk first of all thank you man for replying and you are doing soo soo good and plzz upload some edm prod. tutorials this will help you gain a lot of subs

Hi, unless you have a really small room, I would go for the 8". They offer far better low-end extention and therefore you won't end up with any blind spots in the low-end, which will often be the case with smaller monitors.

@@FireWalkMusic Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. Sounds good to me! I’m in! :)

I think that might be a bit small for the HS8. Bass generally need some distance in order to develop properly, so generally, a larger more rectangular sized is ideal. In smaller rooms, bass tend to build up a lot and with large monitors it will get even worse. You might be able to get away with the HS7 though: amzn.to/2UD76hr Or the Adam Audio T7V which I also think are really good: amzn.to/33DZ0GU I wouldn't recommend anything larger than that. Even that might be a bit too much, and generally 5" is probably the best way to go, but I would try to avoid the 5" if I could since they don't go much below 50 or 60 hz.

@@FireWalkMusic Thank you for the response! What about if I were to get the HS5s and pair it with an HS8S subwoofer? would that work for a small bedroom like mine?

I'm sure you will be very happy with them. :)

Ya very happy 😍, my mixes are so clean, I have learnt mixing music by watching ur videos, they are dope🔥, love u man, keep goin 😍

That's some very good points you highlight there. Generally, a typical speaker won't be able to replicate anything below 50-60 Hz or so. Ear pods and such start dropping off as high as 150 Hz, so when it comes to low-end extension it varies a great deal depending on the equipment used. As a producer, it's essential to hear everything that goes on in the mix so that you can properly balance the track. The most common problem among many producers, and especially beginners is that they don't have good low-end extension when monitoring. The 5" is by far the most common monitor, and they simply can't reproduce those important sub frequencies. The sweet spot is often around 50-60 Hz, right in their lower limit. That's why I generally recommend 8" monitors, as long as you have a room (and budget) to accommodate them, since larger woofers can reproduce lower frequencies. In most genres, a bass will be cut around 30-40 Hz anyways, and a kick will often be rolled off below 50-60 Hz. You always want to preserve some of those sub frequencies between 20-40 Hz of course, but you don't want the volume to be too loud down there. 8" monitors that extend down towards 35-40 Hz is generally good enough that you don't really need a subwoofer. Sure, you won't get those last frequencies between 20-35 Hz, but those are not as important as the ones between 35-60, so you can get by without a subwoofer with monitors like these. The reason why I don't generally recommend subwoofers as a complement to these is because more often than not, a subwoofer will cause more problems than it solves, because people don't know how to properly balance their system. Often times, they end up getting too much bass, and then they end up with thin mixes because they become unable to accurately judge the real amount of bass in their mix. Another issue is the fact that most "bedroom producers" have very small and untreated rooms, which is not ideal for low frequencies in general. There's not enough space for the low-frequency sound waves to propagate properly, so they tend to get bass-build up too, and simply put, it just causes more problems than it solves a lot of the time. If you have smaller 5" monitors, I definitely recommend having a subwoofer at hand, so that you can check those sub frequencies, because you'll be kind of blind without it. However, I usually recommend just testing with the sub every now and then, instead of mixing with it on constantly, the same way you should constantly check with headphones to make sure the mix translates well to headphones as well. I actually have a 12" subwoofer in my studio. I use it periodically to check how those super-low frequencies play back in the mix, and to "simulate" club conditions, but I don't actively mix with it on at all times. Another thing is the sensitivity of our ears. We're most sensitive to frequencies in the human speech range. Sensitivity peaks around 2000-4000 Hz, and drops off steeply from around 400-500 Hz down towards the low end. We can hear low-end down down to around 35-40 Hz, but below that we don't really hear it very well unless we really turn op the volume. We only really perceive it on high volume, and even then we tend to "feel" it more than we hear it, more as a low rumble rather than sound. If you have the budget for it, then definitely get a subwoofer, however, be aware of the problems related to it, and again I recommend using it mainly just to test the low-end at times, instead of actively mixing on it, unless you REALLY know what you're doing and you have a studio that's properly set up for it. If you have a tight budget, then I recommend going for larger main monitors, like 8" instead of a 5" + subwoofer combo. However, if you can get both the 8" and a subwoofer too, like me, then that's of course the ideal solution. :)

Hi, the HS8 definitely sounds fuller and delivers more low-end thant he HS7. I also have a subwoofer, but with the HS8 I rarely have use it. With smaller cones you have to use a subwoofer in order to get a good idea of what's happening in the low end. I prefer the HS8 over the HS7 myself, and if you have the money for it, and the right room size then I'm sure you'll find it to be worth it. However, since you already have a subwoofer then technically you should be fine. :)

I have the Yamaha hs8's and I downloaded a few tunes I knew had bass. One was Aswad - Shine and Bob Marley Jamming and when they came on the whole table was shaking as well as the whole bloody room. Music that is mastered well shines on these babies but songs that are mastered badly soon let you know but they do handle bass and are beefier.

You're welcome

The HS8 is basically a newer and improved version of the HS80m. It has a few updates and improvements. For example they removed the internal shielding to improve magnet efficiency. The controls has been slightly changed. They also made changes to make them provide a flatter frequency response. Between the two I would recommend the newer HS8, but the HS80m are also good monitos.

FireWalk thank you! I got them both brand new for $400 altogether, so I couldn’t refuse! I also have a pair of new JBL 308P MKII monitors for $150 a piece. I like the bass in these better than the Yamaha HS80m, and the midrange and high clarity is quite impressive as well. What do you think?

Indeed! :)

I'm thinking about doing a review of the KRK's, so I oculd probably do a comparison as well. I just need to save up enough to buy them first :)

FireWalk great! Im really having a hard time deciding between them and there is not a lot of reviews about the g4s and i find ur videos very informative and i love it! Keep it up!

​@@carloabellanosa8034 I haven't tested the GS4's yet, but I've used some KRK's in the past, and I've always felt that the KRK's are not the most accurate studio monitors. I've always found them to sound a bit overpowered in the low end, and a bit boxy sounding. If the new generation sounds similar to the older ones then I would recommend the Yamahas. But again, I haven't tested the G4's in my studio yet so I can't say for sure.

The A7x is a whole different beast in terms of clarity and overall quality. That said, the HS8 is very capable and sounds very good for it's the price. You also get a larger 8" woofer, and larger woofers generally means that they can go lower. It's amps has plenty of power, so If you mainly make bass-heavy music, then some of the qualities found int he HS8 might actually be preferable to the A7X, even though the A7X will do doubt offer superior overall clarity.

@@FireWalkMusic one thing about being technically too big but another making you feel good and looking good for other people, go big or go home. Thanks for quick response

Hi, these are designed as studio monitors, but I know there are people who also use them just for listening. They have a built in amplifier so they won't need an external amp. The sound is very neutral and balanced and not "colored" in any way unlike most HIFI speakers. If you want to listen to music the way the original composer intended it, without any coloring, then the HS8 will provide just that. They are nearfield monitors though, so they're a bit more picky about placement than typical hifi monitors. If you sit right in front of them and have them aimed towards you, and you sit right in the "triangle" (equal distance between each monitor and each monitor and yourself) then they should provide a good listening experience. I often use mine to just listen to music in the studio when I'm doing other things.

They are also very good. You can find my review of the T7V's here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLxxpZSZrLOoh2g.html

They are also good monitors. They have gotten good reviews. I've heard some comment that they might color the sound a little bit. The frequency response isn't as flat as with the HS8. The range is to about 24 khz, vs the 30 khz of the hs8. Generally, the higher up it goes the flatter it will be in the high end. That's why the T7V sound so good due to the ribbon tweeter, which goes even higher, providing a flatter curve even past 20khz

Hi, I bought it used from a friend. It's called "glorious workbench" :)

Hi, the HS8 are intended for larger rooms, and are great for bass heavy music because they go really low. If you're not a fan of bass, and or you have a small to medium sized room, then the HS7 will likely be a better choice. That said, both of these are reference monitors, which means that they have a flat frequency response, so none of them will artificially "amplify" any bass what so ever.

@@FireWalkMusic Thanks very very much for the rapid answering But i mean the room dimesions in metre not feet .. It is (4 m. × 6m. × 3.5 m .) And does HS7 has a good bass neither heavy nor very light for my room ? What about the low end , mid and high range in Hs7 ?

Hi, I'll put it on my list :)

@@FireWalkMusic thank you so much! Hs8 mp is the new version of hs8. I didn't see any info about these. Looking forward!

Hi, this is actually just a temporary space while I'm building my new studio. They're going into a medium large room I'd say. I don't remember the exact dimensions though. I wouldn't want to use these in a very small room. In that case the smaller hs7 or hs5 would be a better solution.

@@FireWalkMusic I do have hs7 in 11x13ft fully treated room but the bass is extremely low in hs7 regardless small room or not , I just ordered presonus r80 v2 8 inch let’s see what happens

Pioneer S-DJ50X-W

@@FireWalkMusic hey thanks bro! I really want the hs8's but price is a bit of a problem for me right now and these look fantastic. Time to do some research :)

It depends on how you measure it, but yeah, a lot of 7" monitors are actually 6,5".

Yes, I would say so. 🙂

@@FireWalkMusic Thanks for the quick reply and great videos!

@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 you're welcome 🙂

I'm using a Focusrite Saffire Pro 14. It's an older interface which has now been replaced by a new range of audio interfaces. I also have a Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB C Interface which I mostly use when I travel. I have a review of that interface here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJhjnLaEvMqxh6s.html

It also depends on what's in the room, placement of the speaker (distance from wall) etc. For a room that size I think a 5 - 7" woofer would work fine.

Hi! I'll try! :) It's difficult times for sure, and I totally understand that people spend more time making music and doing indoor activities right now. I'm one of the few who are actually still working on my day job, and this week I've actually been doing 12 hour shifts due to shortage of people (many are sick). Then I have my mixing and mastering service on top of that, and last but not least the KZfaq Channel. I actually finished this video just minutes before it was uploaded. Fortunately I have a few days off this Easter, and I'll try to put those days to good use. I have many videos planned, and hopefully I'll be able to produce some more content anyways. Stay safe! :) PS: I wouldn't be surprised if those 21 days is extended. This won't be over any time soon unfortunately :(

hahahahah....21 days!!
