Pair of 75W 5" 2-way active studio monitors

Review: When it comes to monitors, accuracy is crucial. Let's be honest, decent monitors can sound great in your project studio, but truly accurate monitors will ensure your mix sounds great everywhere else, whether you're listening in your car, on your portable media player or on your home stereo. That's why the cost-effective SR active monitors from Gemini were designed to offer genuinely precise audio that truly reflects the state of your mix.

The Gemini SR-5 boasts a 5" woven glass aramid composite woofer for tight, accurate low-end response. To complement this custom-designed low frequency driver, the elegant, magnetically shielded enclosure incorporates a front-firing port, which helps deliver clean, accurate bass. While rear-firing ports can throw low-end frequencies into walls and corners, creating an imprecise image, front-firing ports ensure clear bass response for a mix without coloration, even at high SPLs.

For crisp, natural highs, the SR-5 houses a 1" neodymium driver on its soft-dome tweeter. This recessed high frequency driver also employs a purposeful waveguide that directs sound away from the cabinet, so your high frequencies are reproduced with articulate precision and without diffraction. Combined with outstanding bass response, the result is a highly detailed stereo image.

To reduce distortion, the monitor features a bi-amped design, with 50W of peak power delivered to the low frequency driver and 25W of peak power delivered to the high frequency driver. And because mixing environments vary from one room to another, a large professional studio, a mid-size project studio, a small bedroom, a spacious basement, the SR-5 provides volume and high frequency controls, so you can adjust your sound to suit your setting.

For flexible connectivity, the SR-5 provides XLR, TRS and RCA connectors. An extensive frequency response between 55Hz and 20 kHz also guarantees accurate, well-balanced audio with true sonic clarity. And when it comes to looks, these sleek, black monitors with red woven woofers offer a stylish complement to your mixing space.

Ideal for a variety of mixing rooms, Gemini's SR-5 monitors offer value, power and precision for professional studios, home recording setups and everything in between, giving you the power to create the best mix possible.

Review: Great mixes start with an accurate monitor. The LSR4326P incorporates JBL's Linear Spatial Reference Technology that matches the exact geometry of the 4300s waveguide design with its transducers and crossover network to optimize the frequency response at the mix position. To ensure that this incredibly accurate monitor delivers superb mixes in the room you're working in, JBL's next generation RMC Room Mode Correction system incorporates a powerful analyzer into each speaker that automatically analyzes and compensates for problems caused by low frequency standing waves and proximity to boundaries. Truly putting technology to work, all of this is accomplished by simply plugging the LSR4300 calibration microphone into the speaker and pushing a button. A JBL first, the LSR4300 meter provides a reference of the output from each speaker in the system. The results are a revolution in professional mixing: a calibrated listening environment where the monitors truly work in harmony with the room. This creates a stunningly clear and articulate sound stage enabling reliable mixes that translate faithfully to the outside world.

Today's digital production environments are all about precision and control. The LSR4326P's powerful DSP platform provides full system networking and communication. Comprehensive LSR4300 Control Center Software provides total control of all system parameters directly from the workstation desktop. High resolution digital and analog inputs, plus a virtual monitor section with input switching, master volume, mute and solo controls, enhance functionality of the entire system and provide comprehensive control at the mix position. The first professional studio monitor with automatic room compensation, centralized system control, and user-friendly simplicity, the LSR4326P is the most elegant and intelligent advancement of technology on behalf of better mixes ever offered in a studio monitor.

Control of System Level, Individual Speaker SOLO, Input Source Selection, high and low frequency EQ settings, and adjustment of all parameters can be made from each speaker's front panel, with the system's infrared remote control, or with LSR4300 Control Center Software. For unprecedented performance and convenience the LSR4326P incorporates the new Harman Hiqnet protocol that enables a coordinated calibration of all speakers, intelligent configuration of surround sound systems, and synchronized control of all speakers in the system.

The LSR4326P is a bi-amplified system with 6" woofer and 1" dome tweeter. Designed for any application from simple stereo mixing to complex surround production, an LSR4326P system can be configured with up to 8 main speakers in any desired mix of 6" LSR4326P and 8" LSR4328P models. Since the small studio may lack the space to position surround channels at the optimal physical distance from the mix position, the system is automatically aligned so the sound arriving at the mix position from all speakers is synchronized producing a precise image regardless of each speaker's actual physical placement.

The LSR4326 Pak includes the JBL LSR4300 Accessory Kit, which provides a measurement microphone, a remote control, LSR4300 Control Center software, a USB cable, and batteries.

Passive monitor speaker

Review: Passive but Bold.

The R6 is the passive version of the industry standard Generation 2 RoKit Studio Monitor Series from KRK Systems. For years, the RoKit series has been a popular choice for accurate monitoring in studios large and small. The R6 provides a standard in passive monitoring with better performance and accuracy, raising the bar once again. Considering KRK have always been the standard, this is a lofty claim. But with the R6, you will hear the truth.

The R6 has radically curved surfaces for a reason: it sounds better. Traditional rectangular speakers suffer from diffraction as sounds leaving the edge of the cabinet are reflected back into the sound field causing phase distortion. The R6 virtually eliminates diffraction and provides a wider sweet spot because of its radically engineered curved surfaces.

Take a look at competitive monitors and you'll find ports on the back of the cabinet. These rear-firing ports tend to create bass coupling with walls and corners, amplifying low frequency information which will colour your mix. The superior design of the KRK R6 includes front-firing ports, which are just the right shape to reduce port turbulence. You'll appreciate the clean and accurate bass performance this approach delivers, even at high SPLs.

KRK took a great monitor series and made it better. their engineers and listening panel took the Generation 2 RoKit's speaker voicing to even greater levels of accuracy. With the R6 what you hear is what you need to hear, without coloration or artificial emphasis. This performance is delivered by drivers that are custom-designed by KRK's world-class studio monitor engineering team, for clear, low-distortion performance.

KRK's recessed tweeters may look the same as others, but they don't perform the same. KRK's careful design of dome and waveguide geometry coupled to the curved front baffle are optimised for on and off-axis linearity resulting in excellent imaging and a wider sweet spot.

Team the R6 up with your favourite power amplifier and enjoy clarity and accuracy in your project, home or professional studio. The R6 is also perfect for home theatre, audiophile or other critical listening applications where pure and detailed audio reproduction is desired.

Review: The KRK RokitG2 Series takes value-priced monitors to a performance level. All of the great stuff that Rokit's have been known for (front-firing bass port, soft-domed tweeter, glass aramid composite yellow cone) are still there, but the G2 Rokit's feature refined voicing and a new curved baffle that looks great, reduces diffraction and provides even better monitoring accuracy. For years the Rokit series has been a popular choice for accurate monitoring in studios large and small.

Now the all Generation 2 RoKit provides a new standard for even better performance and accuracy, raising the bar once again. Why compromise gain structure to achieve a comfortable listening level? As musicians and recording people ourselves, we've asked that question too. So each Generation 2 Rokit comes with an Input Volume Control that provides an adjustable gain range from +6dB to -30dB. Just another way the Rokit lets you focus on your mix, and not on compatibility concerns. Recessed tweeters may look the same, but they don't perform the same. The KRK have designed a superior tweeter wave guide for the Rokit that provides optimal high frequency pattern control and focuses the sound outward, away from the cabinet. More conventional designs direct sound along the plane of the cabinet where waveform interaction can cause phase problems and increased diffraction.

The KRK know a properly engineered high frequency wave guide is a critical component to great sound, and one key to our award winning performance. At KRK our focus is your mix. But it doesn't stop at creating accurate monitors. The KRK live this stuff and appreciate the need for monitors that not only sound great but work easily into your particular set up. That's why you'll find plenty of input options with your Rokit, sure to accommodate any studio environment. So if it's RCA, 1/4" (balanced/unbalanced) or XLR inputs you require, the Rokit has got you covered. The KRK took a great monitor series and made it better. Their engineer and listening panel took the Generation 2 Rokit's speaker voicing to even more accurate levels. What you hear is what you are intended to hear, coloration is not part of the spec. This performance is brought to you by drivers that are custom-designed by KRK's world-class studio monitor engineering team, for clear, low-distortion performance. While your Generation 2 Rokit leaves the factory voiced to our demanding specs, KRK also know that no 2 rooms sound the same. As such, each Rokit comes equipped with a high frequency level control. This feature provides specific adjustment of high frequency output most commonly affected by room acoustics. It's just one extra level of control that KRK give you to ensure the most accurate mix for your particular room's acoustics. The KRK Rokit looks different, so it can sound better, and in a wider sweet spot. Traditional rectangular speakers suffer from diffraction as sounds leaving the edge of the cabinet are reflected back into the original sound field, and at different time intervals. This phase distortion creates a narrow or boxy sound.

The Generation 2 Rokit series eliminates this issue with radically engineered curved surfaces, so diffraction is virtually eliminated. Simply put, you'll get better sound in a wider area. Take a look at competitive monitors and you'll find ports on the back of the cabinet. These rear-firing ports tend to create bass coupling with walls and corners amplifying low frequency information which will color your mix. The superior design of the KRK Generation 2 Rokits include front-firing ports, which are just the right shape and taper to reduce port turbulence. You'll appreciate the clean and accurate bass performance this approach delivers, even at high SPL's.


A great sounding monitor doesn't stop with a great cabinet and custom drivers. The KRK's true bi-amplified amplifier system provides discrete low-distortion power for each driver. While KRK active crossover systems provide smooth and accurate frequency response, and again, accurate diffraction control.

Studio Monitor Series from KRK Systems. For years the Rokit series has been a popular choice for accurate monitoring in studios large and small. Now the all new Generation 2 RoKit provides a new standard for even better performance and accuracy, raising the bar once again.

Review: Drawing upon the design characteristics of our Expose E8B, the new VXT Series of monitors consists of three models, the VXT4, VXT6, and VXT8. With a visually striking enclosure design that is equally functional, providing low resonance, improved structural integrity and extended low-end, slotted ports for reduced port turbulence, plus a sleek curvature that provides excellent imaging characteristics and a widersweet spot the VXT monitors achieve a new level of precision.

The domed tweeter (comprised of true silk for fast transient response) and the new woofer design (with its stiffer, lighter cone that provides low distortion and extended low-end) both have vented formers to remove heat and reduce the effects of power compression, enabling these monitors to maintain their sonic signature.

With uncompromising attention to detail that includes tamper resistant switch covers, integrated Omni Mount support and more, the VXT Series is an outstanding choice for a broad range of monitoring applications.

Active bi-amped studio reference monitors

Review: Prodipe Pro Ribbon 5 monitors were created as a reference for great sound, very natural, clear and focused with nice design. They are the best monitoring system in this price range. Combined with the PRO 10S base transmitter, the Pro Ribbon 5 allows you create a perfectly adapted environment and a high sound distribution.

Compared to dome tweeters, either in metal, plastic or fabric, ribbon tweeters have the advantage of a much lower mass. The results are greater acceleration, then you can better reproduce transitions and high frequencies, as well as a more natural rendition for this end of the spectrum. Moreover, an improved performance in the high range leads to a better linkup with the speaker that does the other end of the spectrum. These extras make the monitors with a ribbon tweeter especially useful during acoustical music recordings where considerations of timbre and space are paramount.

If it came down to a choice between ribbon or dome tweeters, the ribbon tweeters would always get the vote, but they cost too much, so the technology never attracted much interest, only a privileged few could enjoy their extraordinary acoustic qualities. Today Prodipe have their Pro Ribbon 5 on offer, which is a real success story. Once again Prodipe have managed to create top class equipment at incredible prices.

Pair of 75W 5" bi-amped professional active studio reference monitors

Review: The Prodipe Pro 5 professional active studio monitors are designed for professionals and home-studios. They were created as a reference with great sound and nice design. They offer extraordinary clarity and focused, natural sound not often found with speakers around this price range. The Pro 5 monitors allow you to create a perfectly adapted environment and a high sound distribution.

The 5" aramid composite woofer provides a solid, tight bass response down to 50Hz, while the options of either XLR, 6.3mm jack or RCA phono inputs mean you''ll have no trouble hooking these speakers up to your existing home studio, CD/MP3 player, iPod or any audio playback device. Bi-amplified dynamic power also gives a superior sound quality, driving the tweeter and woofer independently and a high frequency control on the rear of each speaker will let you tweak the sound to suit your room.

Pair of professional 2-way active DJ & producer reference monitor speakers

Review: Reloop are proud to present the Wave Monitoring Statio, a practical monitoring powerhouse for every DJ and producer's setup.

The active reference monitor speakers are in a class of their own due to their precise playback and powerful rich output. The innovative design makes them ideal for DJs monitoring live in the mix, and thanks to the linear frequency-response curve, producers will also appreciate the Reloop Waves series as reference monitor speakers for studio applications. With a total of three different inputs (XLR, 6.3mm jack, and RCA) the flexibility on offer is unparalleled as different sources can be directly connected and monitored, eradicating annoying re-wiring or searching for switches in your cable set up. But what really defines these speakers as the ultimate monitoring station is the External Wave Controller. By accessing this solid control unit, it's simple to command both speakers from the comfort of your desktop (connected via a link cable). With the extra large aluminum knob, the volume can be adjusted effortlessly, and via the Input Selector, it's possible to quickly toggle between the 3 different inputs options (each clearly indicated by a glistening white LED on the front). A further switch can be used to set the station on stand-by, and with a push of a button, the output can be muted (LEDs will be dimmed depending on the status selected). Thanks to the variable EQ and frequency band adjustments, the Wave series can be instantly adapted to almost any room or situation without the need for a sub mixer. The smart tweeter construction has an especially wide audio beam in order to deliver outstanding sound to the listener from various positions, and strong magnetic drivers create the powerful rich sound demanded by the discerning DJs and producers of today.

It's important to stress that while the speakers were in development, Reloop strived for the highest quality components, fine-tuning, and sophisticated design. The result clearly speaks for itself. Aesthetics, versatility and performance are all masterfully combined in this exciting new desktop monitoring station. Welcome to Reloop Wave.

Pair of speakers & amplifier + pair of monitor stands

Review: This great value bundle mixes up the unique sE Electronics Egg monitors with their specially designed Zaor stands. The Zaor stands make them sturdy and wood has virtually no self-resonance so they won't add any annoying vibration.

The sE Munro Egg 150 Monitoring System is the first in a series of sE Munro Active Integrated Monitoring Systems, designed by Andy Munro, James Ishmaev-Young and Siwei Zou.

The sE Munro Egg studio monitors have brought about a fundamental rethink of the loudspeaker engineering process. The traditional wooden box has been replaced by a curved enclosure that has been scientifically proven to virtually eliminate diffraction and resonant effects that distort and smear the original sound of your audio.

The result is a stunning clarity that brings the smallest details into focus and yet delivers the entire mix as a coherent whole.

Controlling the sE Munro Egg 150 Monitoring System:

The system is complete, with a free standing control unit that delivers a perfect bi-amplified power match to the egg drive units, source select inputs, active analogue crossovers, LF and HF trim pot equalisation for room and location set-up compensation and a mid-band control to emulate the mid-range response of both Hi-Fi and NS10 type speakers.

Above all, the sE Munro Egg 150 Monitors are designed to deliver the highest quality sound with the absolute minimum of coloration.

The Egg 150 monitors feature breath-taking transparency that, within seconds of listening, reveals a much more defined and open mix in which the whole balance simply feels more complete. Certain aspects of some recordings may be shown up to be distorted or not as the engineer intended, but that is the truth, unobscured by colouration. A monitor that flatters to deceive has no place in a professional recording studio and there is no argument for using poor quality speakers to match inferior playback media.

Well recorded audio, translates to any medium, but the opposite is absolutely not true, if your monitors put a fake 'sheen' on everything, how will you ever know what your material sounds like on an honest system?

By using high quality linear power supplies, the sE Egg system maintains maximum transient power up to double the rated value. Bi-amplification further enhances the power headroom and results in the lowest possible distortion values. By using 35V power rails the Egg is capable of high transient sound levels from a relatively modest amplifier compliment.

The sE Munro Egg 150 is the final product name of the sE Munro Medium Egg Speaker, announced at Musikmesse and NAMM. The 150 refers to the approximate size of the driver. As more Egg Monitoring Systems are in development, it seemed foolish to term the first sE Munro speaker system as medium when it may not be in the fullness of time.

Zaor monitor stands feature a sturdy, height-adjustable design and are an ideal solution for supporting your precious monitors in the studio. Their solid wooden design makes Zaor monitor stands far more stable than cheaper height-adjustable speaker stands. The fact that they are constructed from wood also means that they have practically no self resonance, so you won't hear any annoying vibrations whilst trying to balance your mix.

Review: Triple P Designs' Pyramid studio monitors help prepare any studio for the outside world. While your mix may sound great on your monitors in your studio, it must also sound great outside your studio walls. Whether your mix ends up on a tiny television, car stereo, boombox, or any other non hi-fidelity system, the outside world has billions of systems that don't sound as great as yours.

Your mix needs to translate well. As a mixer you need to have the confidence that your mixes will translate well in the real world. The Pyramid monitors allow mixers to hear the effects of non hi-fidelity playback systems while they are mixing, and while they still have the opportunity to compensate. Any great mixer will tell you a great mix needs to sound great on any number of speakers.

The Pyramids were designed to show how some instruments and frequencies can pop out and some can be lost on low fidelity systems. If you have ever said to a client the voice will cut through more when the spot is broadcast, or had your mix thrown out of alignment on your boombox, you understand this phenomena. Rather than telling your clients what will happen to the mix when it leaves your studio, show them. Whether you are in a multi-million dollar facility or your bedroom, let the Pyramids bring the outside world to your studio.

There are too many TVs and radios waiting for your mix. Don't be caught off guard! Know how your mix will sound.

Review: The Yamaha HS5 is a new addition to Yamaha's HS series of active monitors, influenced by the critically acclaimed and highly sought after NS-10 studio monitor speakers.

The Yamaha HS5 Active Studio Monitor features biamped full range 2 way speakers rated at 45W and 25W and has been developed by Yamaha to offer an exceptionally flat and accurate frequency response for use in music production and composition as well as home project studios. The HS5 monitors' design has been informed by the tradition of the legendary NS10M monitors.

Yamaha HS5 speakers feature a low resonance bass reflex enclosure which improves the rigidity of the overall speaker, and less cabinet resonance means that the signal remains clear and uncoloured. This is very important in getting an accurate mix which translates across all systems.

Port noise has also been audibly reduced by up to 6dB using the new Yamaha proprietary technology in the HS5 studio monitors, which also helps to deliver a clean and precise signal. The HS5 is equipped with XLR and TRS jack connectors as well as room control and hi trim response controls.
