Studio Monitors
    #10971369 -

Can anybody recommend me some good studio monitors in the price range of 150-500?  I'll be using them to play and record some stuff with my guitar.  I plan on getting a line 6 pod soon as well to extend my recording options and use that with the monitors.

I've used Alesis, Behringer, KRK, Wharfedales, Tannoy and Mackie HD. Mackie HDs are the best but my Tannoy Reveal 5s are close and cost much less.

Save up for Tannoys, they are worth it. A $600 pair sounds ten times better than a $300 pair but Wharfedales give the best bang for the buck.

I bought some M-Audio BX8a's for $250(pair) a couple years ago. Not pro audio, but they definately do the job, especially for the price. I probably wouldn't have gotten anything different unless I had atleast $500 per speaker to spend.

I know this might not be an option for you, since rigging a home studio this way can be costly, but I've found that nothing beats straight-up mic'n your amplifier, and then placing another ambient mic across the room.

The set-up I've got going now is fairly cost effective, it's a Tascam DP-02 digital 8-track, a Berhinger 12-channel mixing board, and a ton of microphones. For monitor/playback purposes I just use headphones plugged right into the 8-track, or a digital stereo reciever, plugged into some Jensen 100-watt speakers.


I'm not knocking straight to PC-recording, or using the Line-6 pod, as they are options I had to deal with in the past, but I honestly think you'll be happier with the tone and over all sound if you set your rig up, and then mic it.

BTW, you can score alot of this equipment or similar equipment for dirt cheap at a pawn shop.

Comparable to the Mackies for half the price.

i also have a pair of these for shows....

they kick ass for huge rooms and outdoors, but are far from studio monitors....they are horrible for shit like that. plus you really need the powered subs to set them on to get that low-end really moving. i can barely stand them inside my house due to all the reverberation.

sorry bro,

you want speakers with a flat frequency for mixing.

these are performance speakers with "studio monitor sound quality", but they are not efficient for engineering.
