John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum Archive

so, as im nearing the completion of my "studio" im now starting to think about acoustics and monitors.

my budget for monitors will be £400 max. i was thinking of getting something like the m-audio bx8a as the freq. range goes down to 40hz but im not to sure if they really would go down that low without distorting. im now thinking about getting a sub-woofer to compliment some nearfields. the krk rokits + sub look good, but maybe a bit expensive.

again, any advice/recommendations grateful!

cheers

what monitors and woofers do you lot have?

How big is your room? Depending on the size of the room, and the amount of low end absorption will have a huge impact on your monitoring.

...been a while since ive been here!

im in a single car garage. ive got yamaha msp5's. not gonna bother with a sub just yet.

ive got corner traps behind the speakers and 2 wall absorbers each side of me. sounds fine to my tinnitus afflicted ears! lol
