Studio monitors

2 way, bass reflex, bi amplified nearfield studio monitor with 5" cone woofer and 1" dome tweeter.

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.

Single active studio monitor

Review: The MSP series has become the new standard in reference monitors, and is now augmented by a new, compact member: the MSP3. Although compact in size, the MSP3 faithfully delivers the high quality reference sound you expect from the MSP series, and is an ideal choice not only for the small private studio or post production setup, but also as a monitor for electronic musical instruments or surround reproduction.

The MSP3 employs a two way bass reflex design featuring a 10 cm woofer and a 2.2 cm tweeter. It also has a built in power amp that's optimized for the speaker units to ensure clear, natural reference sound. Although the built in amp puts out a hefty 20 watts of power, the MSP3 weighs only 4.4 kilograms for easy portability and placement.

In addition to an XLR connector that allows direct connection to a +4 dB mixer output or other professional equipment, the MSP3 provides phone jack and RCA jack connectors for convenient connection to electronic musical instruments or home audio equipment. It also provides a tone control that lets you optimize the sound for your monitoring environment, effectively compensating for anomalies caused by speaker placement or room resonance. The MSP3 is magnetically shielded to prevent interference with your monitor TV or computer, making it an ideal choice for post production studios.

The bottom panel of the MSP3 has threaded holes that can be used to attach an optional bracket for ceiling or wall mounting. Another mounting option is the BMS 10A mic stand adaptor, which allows the MSP3 to be conveniently mounted on a standard microphone stand.

Single biamplified, active, nearfield studio monitor

Review: The trend towards choosing powered speakers for production monitoring is based on some very sound logic. By integrating and matching the power amplifiers and speakers, the relationship between them can be kept under perfect control for superior performance in the widest possible range of systems. Naturally the power amplifiers themselves are of the finest quality and, unlike component power amplifiers that must be designed for acceptable matching with the widest possible range of speakers, are designed and manufactured specifically to drive the system's woofer and tweeter in their specific enclosure.

With the MSP7 everything you need is built in - all you have to do is supply the line level input. The 6.5 inch cone woofer is driven by an 80watt power amplifier, while the 1 inch dome tweeter has its own 50watt power amplifier. In the MSP7 this particular power and driver combination results in the perfect balance between the low, mid and high frequency ranges.

The MSP7 woofer and tweeter units feature some important design innovations that contribute directly to improved sound quality. The 6.5 inch woofer, for example, features a specially treated polypropylene cone with lowdamping rubber surrounds for exceptionally smooth response. Low reflection and high rigidity die-cast magnesium baskets both maximize mechanical precision while minimizing unwanted coloration of the speaker's output. The 1 inch tweeters feature titanium domes that offer the perfect combination of light weight and rigidity for precise reproduction right up to 40 kHz.

This obstacle of magnetic interference is effectively overcome in the MSP7 with a new "advanced magnetic structure" that achieves effective shielding while maintaining the integrity of the speaker's magnetic circuit for significantly lower distortion and improved definition
.
The thick walled MSP7 cabinet is moulded in one piece, resulting in smooth acoustic transfer throughout the entire enclosure for superior reproduction precision. One piece moulding also makes it possible to produce the large radius rounded baffle corners that help to maintain a natural wavefront and minimize diffraction for a smoother, more uniform polar response.

The MSP7 STUDIO features a balanced XLR-type connector for input. Providing direct compatibility with professional gear and allows the use of balanced lines for maximum audio quality even where long cable runs are required. Rear-panel controls include a continuous input sensitivity control, and trim switches that enable you to adjust the bass and treble in four and three positions, respectively (+1.5dB / 0dB / -1.5dB/ -3dB at 50Hz and +1.5dB / 0dB / -1.5dB at 10KHz), so that the system's response to be quickly matched to the room. There's also a low cut switch that is useful when used with the SW10 subwoofer. The AC power cord is removable for easy transportation and setup.

Some speakers are designed to look good. The MSP7 has been designed throughout for superior sound, and looks great as a result!

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.

Pair of studio speakers

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.

7" active nearfield monitor

Review: The predecessor to the A7X, the A7, became the most famous of all ADAM monitors in a very short time. Not only has it been reviewed over 3 dozen times with outstanding results, it has also received numerous awards. The A7 quickly gained mass appeal, praised in many of the world's largest internet forums. Still today, the A7 are the reference monitors in many smaller studios.

With the A7X, ADAM Audio proudly presents the evolution of a legend. It takes everything that made the A7 such an outstanding speaker to a new level.

The first aspect that distinguishes the old from the new model is the X-ART tweeter. The X stands for eXtended frequency response and thus for one of the features of the Accelerating Ribbon Technology that has been drastically improved: the frequency response. It now extends all the way up to 50kHz. In addition, the X-ART tweeter has a higher efficiency and higher maximum sound pressure levels.

The perfect integration with the lower frequencies has been achieved with a newly designed 7" midwoofer. It has been redesigned with a much bigger voice coil (1.5") and is driven by an amplifier with twice the power compared to its predecessor. This combination produces an amazing sound and pressure levels with an almost distortion-free musical reproduction.

Each driver has its own dedicated amplifier. A 50W A/B amp is responsible for the X-ART tweeter, while the midwoofer is being driven by a 100W PWM amp. The front panel includes a power switch and a control for the volume that retains the volume setting independently from the on/off switch.

On the rear panel are several additional controls: a gain for the high frequencies (+/- 4dB) and 2 x shelf filters for high and low frequencies. To ensure greater compatibility, there are both XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced) connectors.

2 way active studio monitor in glossy white, exclusive to Juno

Review: This glossy white edition of the ADAM A5 is exclusively available at Juno.

The ADAM A5 is the smaller brother of the A7, probably the best known of all the ADAM monitors. The A5 uses the same ADAM proprietary transducer technology (ART) and the same woofer consisting of a sandwich construction of carbon fiber and Rohacellr, only reduced in size to 5 .5 inch. The outstanding sound quality in combination with the small size, the glossy white finish and the Stereolinkr make the A5 a truly unique loudspeaker with an almost unlimited range of applications.

Amplifiers and controls: Two built-in 25 Watt amplifiers power the drivers directly. The front of the A5 sports dual ports for surprising low frequency response down to 55Hz, metal grills for durability, as well as power and gain controls. The rear panel includes balanced (XLR) jacks, unbalanced (RCA) jacks, and a host of EQ controls to tailor the sound to suit room acoustics or personal taste.

Stereolink: The A5 employs a new development by ADAM called Stereolink. This new technology connects two A5 speakers in such a manner as to allow the user the option to control the overall stereo volume of the system from either speakers gain control. This makes the A5 a natural for "mixer-less" desktop applications where overall system volume needs to be adjusted often and from a single control.

Compact 2-way active monitor with megnetic shielding

Review: The small Genelec 8020B (height with Iso-Pod 242mm, width 151mm and depth 142mm) has been designed for monitoring in difficult listening environments, particularly those compromised by lack of space.

The 8020B has a die-cast aluminium Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE), which features relatively large internal volumes; softly curved edges and outstanding mechanical strength. As a result, the imaging accuracy and low frequency extension with such a compact enclosure are truly astounding.

The 8020B also incorporates the advanced Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW), which provides an amazingly smooth on and off axis response; while the long, curved reflex port ends in a wide flare for excellent bass articulation.

Each monitor features a 105mm (4") bass driver along with a 19mm (3/4") tweeter loaded into a new advanced Genelec Directivity Controlled Waveguide (DCW). The free field frequency response is 66Hz to 20 kHz (2.5 dB). Maximum peak SPL output per pair with music material is 105 dB at 1m. Bass and treble are each powered by 20W amplifiers.

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.

Stereo monitoring system includes 2 x satellite speakers and 1 x subwoofer

Review: Blue Sky are now a familiar name in the monitoring world, and many of the company's visually distinctive products manage to straddle the home studio and home theatre markets. Their new Exo 2.1 stereo monitoring system uses 2 relatively small satellite speakers and a floor-standing subwoofer to provide full-range coverage, with a desktop remote-control hub providing a means to control the level of the bass and the overall volume. This hub also functions as an input-source connection point, as it includes an iPod input and 3.5mm headphone jack on the front, as well as both XLR/jack combi and phono connectors on the rear. When the headphone jack is used, the speakers are automatically muted.

The Exo 2-way satellite speakers are based around a 3" neodymium concave driver, augmented by a 1" soft-dome neodymium tweeter that sits behind 3 protective bars. The crossover within the satellite is passive and each speaker is powered by its own 35W amplifier, which is housed in the sub so that all the amp and PSU circuitry is situated in one place. Speaker connections are made between the satellites and sub using conventional binding posts, and suitable cables are included with the system. The satellite enclosures are built from three-quarter-inch MDF and feature a textured, black-finish front baffle. They measure just 203mm x 127mm x 127mm and weigh a modest 1.36kg each. Magnetic shielding allows operation close to old-style CRT monitors, and there are inserts to accept an optional omni-mount mounting bracket.

The sealed-box-design subwoofer uses an 8" speaker with a cast-aluminum frame and a 1.5" voice coil. This is mounted in a forward-firing position behind a cloth grille, driven in mono by its dedicated 90W amplifier. The specified frequency response of the sub is 35Hz to 140Hz, 6 dB although the tests were done in anechoic conditions, which extends the response in a typical room down closer to 20Hz. Despite this, the sub is fairly dainty, measuring 330mm x 350mm x 330mm and weighing in at 11.4kg. As with the satellite speakers, the predominant material used in construction is MDF. Four removable spiked feet anchor the box to the floor.

The whole system is controlled from the hub, which links to the sub via a captive mini-DIN cable. Here you'll find the physical connections for the input formats described earlier, as well as the phones output. All the inputs are always active and are effectively mixed, which means you can monitor up to 3 simultaneous sources if you wish. Usefully, the subwoofer level can be independently adjusted from the hub rather than on the sub itself. This arrangement works well, though it would have been more sensible to make the sub adjustment a screwdriver preset (or to feature some other protective mechanism), to prevent it from getting moved accidentally.
