Reply To: Monitors advice

[Axel RonsinParticipant]

This may be a little late in coming,
but I have recently moved from Event 20/20Bas to Neumann KH120s.

I was amazed by the Neumann's precision as compared to the Events.
For the first time, a change of 1dB on an EQ could be heard in the speakers.
They are also a lot more faithful to the mix at low volumes.

On the down side,

1/ they lack power.
This WE I had a band over for a listen.
I turned the KH120s up, but they were not able to give me the umpf
I used to get from the larger more powerful Event 20/20s.
(And my control room is small)
Now I understand why professional studio have near fields AND huge monitors 🙂

2/ they don't have much below 80Hz
I am thinking of getting a subwoofer to fix that.
I hear decent subwoofers can be had from Yamaha for less than a 100 Euros / bucks...

I hope this helps one of you.

Axel
