I own the 13 monolith u should review that one
Oh man, that mic cut at 16:09 made me think my headphones became unplugged.
same lol, thought someone started talking to me at work. freaked me out 😂
@@samirm literally the same omfd 😂😂😂
Wasn't expecting it, nearly jumped out of my chair
I turned my head like wtf??
Ok, that mic cut made me think I hit my keyboard on accident.
16:09 : Sound Demo on Good Mics
26:01 : MiniDSP Pimpin' Begins
32:23 Apparently, there is a Rev.B of the miniDSP non-HD that has an external power input and push 2Vrms output. Look at the description on the Amazon page by Deer Creek Audio. So maybe the 100USD less version is a viable alternative???
What keyboard is that?
Did you dirac that minidsp? Pls make a review on it
do you have a link for the cowboy bebop canvas
Zeos, How come I cant hear any difference when you where whispering in front/behind the mice in my K712 pros?
You’re demos have the best bass on TH-cam. Impressive... most impressive.
Doug G lol the edge of tomorrow demo subbass goes to low for my peasant earbuds so all i hear is the apartment shaking.
Sound q of this clip is EXCELLENT -well done.First Sub review that I can actually hear bass extension on my headphones (via chord mojo)
Lmao! Listening to this demo with my Monolith 10 sub was making my room shake! Love these subs! Luckily I got mine hooked up to a THX receiver so its just hits awesome in my opinion. I find it easy to adjust too. Don't need fancy gadgets besides receiver settings. Love the reviews Z!
LMAO I love your reviews they crack me up... it reminds me of a buddy of mine he’s a total scatter brain but a complete genius... don’t take that the wrong way I enjoyed every minute of this you are brilliant!
Just ordered my second HSU sub the ULS-15MK2... loved it so much I needed a second one. You should do a review of them they are fantastic and I think for the price they can’t be beat! It shakes my whole house.
I use two of the smaller brothers of this line of subs . The 10 inch subs , single ported and looks the same just smaller. Nearly 100 pounds each , insanely well build for a 10inch .. and drops really deep
Chubacka's thinking, man this guy talks to himself a lot or she's just trying to be polite and come over to him as she's thinking "why does this guy explain every piece of equipment to me".
Cant believe there's no reviews on svs pro series
No, she's probably wondering why he always talking to the furniture.
I heard those Martin Logan's in person. Very impressed with them.
See, this is why I love your channel, and love watching your vids (aside from Chewbers!) even if I won't be buying the particular product you're reviewing. I'd probably never buy a $1300 sub ($600-800 would probably be my max), but I never thought to use xlr cables and adapters for long RCA runs. And I'm still wrapping my head around a mini dsp, and contemplating on whether or not it would be beneficial to my setup. Joining that $10 patreon soon so I can get some advice from you.
NW go with a HSU! You can get a insane 15inch sub for $800... I bought 1 and was completely blown away, they are extremely well made their sealed sub has a flat sub from 200hz down to 20hz +/-1 dB and can hit 12.5hz at 90dbs... I love it so much I just purchased a second one it arrives Friday! I don’t even have the first one turned up half way. The output is insane, literally house shaking much like the sub in this video. Music sounds fantastic on it too, you won’t be disappointed. I don’t think there’s a better sub at that price point when it comes to overall value it will outperform subs anywhere near its price point.
Your demo sounds great on my Hsu Research sub. I guess that means I don't need a new one. :P
Any plans of going in depth with the mini dsp?
Okay, so which is better the SVS PB16, the PC4000, or this sub. I'm looking to add. Since this seems close in size.?? Also if you get the SVS that have correction and your processor has DIRAC, do you still benefit from the miniDSP? Or does DIRAC and SVS correction take care of all?
Just got mine couple days ago n already in love with it haven't really got to play with it like I like want 2 cuz of work but man the the little time I did its great n yes its huge
I know it's been said many times already, but Z has the best sound on TH-cam. I wish you had an all music channel.
On the edge of tomorrow intro it's more that you hear the entire building rattling more than the bass.
can you still buy Dirac Live 2.0 to use with the mini DSP 2x4 HD or is it onlu available for the DDRC-24?
"Good news" by Mac Miller, its the edge of tomorrow for my music list lol. Rips a pretty good low off the start. "Thats on me" is a more complex song of his that has alot of layers, and there seems to be a rolling very low 20 something hertz wave just pulsing the drivers like youd see in an 90's cartoon or something. Highly recommend.
Hey man, Breakage - Rain drops down to 32hz, and its super chill, one of the reasons Im looking at subs is because my logitech z906 peaks at 35hz which is weak af. Thanks for the vid. And Highly recommend testing with that tune, peace.
Hey Z, love you video's as always. Any chance you are going to review those Martin Logan speakers? Would be great because I was looking in to them.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
I ordered two of these and they are monsters. Been very impressed by the subs, but not impressed by monoprice. One sub arrived with a broken grill. Didn't really notice til i had lugged them upstairs and installed them in my home theatre. Went to put the grill on and noticed it was crooked, had a crack in it. Had to contact monoprice 4 times before they finally told me send the whole sub back. I asked, can't you just send me a new grill, the sub is fine? They said no, send it all back or keep it as is. I wasn't lugging this monster back downstairs and packing it back up and transporting it somewhere just to get a good grill. I decided I'm living without the grill. Will go with a better company like jtr or rhythmik next time. I can't believe the level of idiocy that goes into that kind of policy. Think how much shipping for something that large costs and their only solution is to pay return shipping on the old one and pay for shipping a replacement out, not to mention the cost of processing a return, and that replacement grill might cost 20 bucks by comparison.
Yeah that is dumb. Just send them the grill with a note that says FIGURE IT OUT
@@ZReviews I thought maybe they thought I was lying, so i sent them pictures to show them it was really cracked. They offered the same solution. They were torture to communicate with.
Unfortunately, you get what you pay for which shows in customer service policy sonetimes!😉🙄🤗 I would do what Zeos mentioned regarding sending it back to them anyway just to make a point!🤔😇
gotta use common sense, monoprice doesn't make extra grills on the side each and every one of those things comes in the box. If they told you to send it back just do what they ask and stop making a big deal. They are giving you quality product for a cheap price , if you aren't happy go purchase SVS and overpay for the price but you get great return policies.
@@blunderingknifereviews1028 Crazy. I've had good results with Monoprice customer service in the past, but I don't have that many monolith products....just a pair of headphones and some cables. Having said that, I do have their monolith atmos towers on my list of what I may buy.
They offer a lot of bang for the buck but you do have to worry about the build quality and durability, which is offset by their good warranty, but if they are going to respond to issues like yours the way they did, they will lose business no question.
Zeos, SVS pb 3000 or Monolith 15 thx?
How do you like the Monolith compared to the Rytmik 15xvhp you had?
I have a dual Monolith THX 12” Ported setup in my less than 1000 cubic feet TV Room...they’ve been wonderful !
Are you using an amp? If so which amp please?
@@Jworkjether09 Do you mean another amp for the subs? They are just running off of the plate amps built in and signal is coming from a Marantz SR6014.
@@DustinFrancis Gotcha
That thing looks huge!
Can I ask a question guys?
So if my Marantz SR7012 is not THX at all!
So, in this case I keep all the THX settings to OFF, right?
So Z man how does the Monoprice compare to the Rythmik?
Come for the sub. Stay for Chewbacca.
You should get your hands on an RSL speedwoofer. An interesting value prop
Not related to subs or THX at all, but my Miss Kitty (one of my 2 cats, the other is Fatty, both female, yes I assumed their genders), but anyway, Miss Kitty loves Chewbacca...loves her. She's literally trying to pet her through the TV, also trying to climb on top of my 60" so she can get to Chewbers while she's on the sub lol.
if your going to cut the sub output by 4db why not go sealed?
So, I have a tile floor living room that used to be a 2 car garage, would I be better off with this, or the SVS PB-2000/PRO?
Monolith 15 equals to pb4000 most likely. But Mono has More infrasonics.
Do you think the psa 15 or monolith 15 is better?
Yes! That mic is crazy clear. Newby question... Do you know if home audio subs have hi pass filters out?
Svs PB13 ultra does
At 18:40 "I may need to lower that..."
I proceeded to turn my volume up. Nice and clean sounding... and very deep.
Enjoyed on a set of Shure SE846's driven by a BTR5. :) Very much enjoyed.
**edit** At 20:45, I can't tell which impresses me more - the sub or the mic's. But that was seriously impressive- it felt like my head was shaking...
**edited for spelling**
Eric K lol my peasant earbuds cant go low enough to hear the tone.
@@ViewIndepth - well, all earbuds benefit from being sealed into your ears. Thst greatly increases the bass (or should we say, not being sealed loses all of it). 'Good' earbuds mostly seal better, or more easily - beyond that you start talking about the sound quality.
Maybe look into alternate tips if you can? Because it sounds like you have a case of open earbuds... and that's just not fun.
Eric K you are correct sir. Not sealed in ear buds. Just some free apple ones i use for beating up while working.
i am about to buy one of these (and later a second one) and i can NOT wait to hear the TXH intro from pick of destiny (bongrip/fart)
That cabinet is YUGE!!
Man you totally sold me on the minidsp. I have dual monolith 12s. But I clicked your links and amazon says the minidsp and the mic are unavailable! Are they no longer in business?
scared the crap out of me when you switched Mic's, almost fell out of my chair LOL
Guys I saw Z in person, he does not show his face on youtube because he does not want to drive girls crazy, the guy is a stud
😂
Hi Z, when will u upload the Triangle Comete EZ review ? Thank u in advance, please do tell, im really bouncing between buying that speaker or Klipsch, or Monitor Audio Silver and i cant audition them all >.>
Possibly tomorrow. I am running REAL low on pre-made content. I was hosting family the last few days.
@@ZReviews oh, its understandable. Thank u for ur time and expecially for creating all this insightful special reviews that u do, learned a lot of stuff from ur aproach to audiophile gear and vision. Thank u again and much love for all the music lovers!
The sub is looking for a true balanced input coming from your XLR input.
belive me or not, but i could hear the base fud,, with my ATH-M60x headphones, plus my Emotiva flex amp,, plus Quad D/A converter, and it sounded sweet as mate!
I had a Paradigm 10in sub, that was inclosed in the box, so you couldnt see the sub at all, that thing shock my hole house, no kidding around!!!. but yer that sound reminded me of some good times!.
Ik hear the pressure of the bass it outputs. Damn something I miss in my system
That is an insane mic
I only use zeos reviewed and approved products to listen to zeos reviews
Hey Z Reviews thanks for the superb content man! What are your thoughts on connecting subs wirelessly through wireless transmitter. I just order the monolith m215 sub crawl is going to be fun with that mammoth but I was thinking about going wireless. I will most likely get a mini dsp in the future but do you think I’ll be alright with the basic settings on the m215 until then. Thanks again for the quality content Z Reviews. I’ll be watching your sub crawl vid next. I’m looking forward to “levels oh yeah lots of levels” can’t wait to get it setup.
Did you go wireless?!!! How did it go if so? I may do the same!
@@7paradigm7 i did not end up going wireless, good luck with your setup.
@@andrewjewell8209 just to fill you in for the future,, I got the SVS soundpath wireless transmitters. They are fantastic! No loss of sound quality, depth, perception, finesse or intensity. No issues with other devices wireless device (and there's tons aroumf) and just as important, I experienced zero latency. Didn't even have to make changes in the bass mgt.
@@7paradigm7 very nice, thank you for the update, I think I may be convinced to go wireless. I will give it a shot when the time is right. Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy your new set up!!
Any chance you could review the Ohm Microsub 12" ?
There is literally no review out there for those.
I have found that a really good soundbyte for testing low end is the first few seconds of "The Uncanny Valley" by Perturbator.
22:45 all those sirens and car horns sound like your at Gutenbergs
Thaaat mic man 😭😂😂😂😂 wtffff it's so good
Wow, the Best Video of the year so far. Why not have both Left and Right crossed over signal going into the Minidsp instead of just one? Or is it just the .1 from the receiver?
And yes we need a dedicated video on how to utilize the Minidsp to its potential. I have just managed to get the EQ, however, Time Alignment, phase and such I am still a bit lost.
Do you need to time align two or more subs?
i cant decide between this open box from monoprice for 999 or the speedwoofer 12s
that random mic switch at about 16:30 scared the fuck out of me
I’ve seen this video 5 times LOVE IT lol
"this is the longest thing I've ever seen" - Zeos Pantera 2020
Giggidy
Well it is 27 inches long.
I own 2 12in. Love them! Just still playing around with the foam Inserts. Cant figure what's better lol
How tall are they and depth?
I've ordered a 15 there but never heard them am I goin to be pleasently suprised
@@TheJohnypie how big is your room?
Do you even JL or REL bro?
The sealed version is on sale for almost half the price of the ported. Any idea how it compares?
It's good.
Thumbs up for the cat snot lol.
How would you compare this sub to the svs pb-3000? Which hits harder?
The mono 15 is closer to a PB 4000
Yo Z, do you have a list of movies and tracks to "test" subs? And by test, I just mean freak out my neighbours
Sorry for competing about this on this video, but you video about this was more than a year ago.
Would you recommend for mainly gaming and listening to Spotify on my m40xs with some HM5 Earpads (Although in the future I'm thinking of getting some HD599s or some HD58Xs) the Sennheiser GSX1000 or the Creative Soundblaster G6?
What is the guitar track at 17:16?
Monolith sub 15 vs rythmik 15inch bass reflex ??
I wonder what he thinks of the miniDSP.
Is there a way to pair it with the iloud MTM?
If you split the RCA source and control the volume from a pre-amp
I managed to get duel Monolith 15s in Ireland 🇮🇪
What sub from svs would you compare this with
Forget SVS , Go Big Dawg Status : JTR Audio !
zeeeeeeos, hey, how about comparing the Rythmik to the Monolith 15", OR one similar in price/size? with my hifiman drop 4XXs i can hear the depth charge like bass when it comes along, though not as impressive as the monolith 1060s which have i a high frequency glitch that bothers me. this is all with the little amp built into my klipsch pro-media 2.1 speakers (which are great for what they are). i will likely get the monolith thx dac/amp for $500. i am hesitant to spend too great a chunk of change on much more equipment than i already have at the age of 74. i can usually satisfy myself with frugality as long as the quality is there.
Chewbacca is a great little cat with a likable participation trait. now and again i see her react to the sound. our cats respond amusingly to the video intended for cats with all the birds and stuff. i can get the title if you like.
one last word about the better microphone set you used...GAHDAM! it sounded like you were in my room off to my left. it sounded as if i weren't wearing headphones. eerie (not Pennsylvania).
...hifitommy
Are these a worthy upgrade over the Klipsch R115SW??
Got rid of 2 of mine for one of these. Going to sell the other 2. I had them stacked anyways so didn’t benefit from having them spread out. One Monolith is over double the watts and digs much deeper in bass frequencies. Yes.not to mention Klipsch amps fail.
Question. I bought 2 monoprice 10's, and one of them makes static/ airplane sounding noises. If I unplug it it works normally for awhile, then eventually does it again. Anyone know whats causing that?
It sounds like it is most likely a defective power supply in the sub. It could be a source or cable issue but they should be more consistent and not go away when you cycle the power on the sub alone. Have you tested if the sound goes away when you unplug the input source, leaving the sub plugged in and powered on.
@@lumntoob999 Thanks for the reply. Yeah, when the source is unplugged the noise continues.
Ground loop
@@lumntoob999 Ground loop. If you can return it I guess but it isn't a big problem to fix.
@@carcaviar9321 it just doesn't seem like a ground loop to me, although I admit I am not a professional. The way I was looking at it was, because there was no source plugged in when it makes the noise and the sub is always fine when first powered on, and only after being powered on for a while does it start to make the noise and then if he cycles the power the sub will be silent again for a while. That sounds to me like once something inside gets charged up it causes the issue. I don't know for sure though and like you said, if it's possible it would be best to try to exchange or warranty repair it.
Yo....
Z ...... we are waiting patiently for you to review the monolith 16......
you raised the dead with the 16 Ultra.... the Nonolith 16 should put them back to sleep....
What's better, a single very expensive 15" $700 or $1000 sub, or 2 cheap 12" subs, for a total of $550 to $700?
Watched so many of these reviews it's turning into the delusion that Z is one of my friends who I've been hanging out with while he shows me his cool stereo stuff.
Imagine if you joined my Patreon.... The Behind the Scenes chat..... Best friends always pay.... always.
@@ZReviews
Well, he did ask for it!😉🤗😇
maybe you can get your hands on a sunfire true subwoofer
18:50 oh my god..
I need help because it’s killing me.what is that panting above his tv set I think it’s cowboy bebop but I’m not sure thank you too all
16:09 I tuned my head to the left thinking someone was talking to me. thank you kph30is for your soundstage
It scared the shit out of me...
Can u do the new Monolith, 13 in but I’ll prefer the 16 in lol
How is this compared to the PB-16 Ultra ?
I have this sub and the Hsu-vtf15h mk2 they are not quite as potent as the pb16ultra the monolith comes close and you can get 2 for the price of one pb16ultra and that will crush a pb16ultra duals are always better
you should see hacksaw ridge
25:12 Poor chewbacca, must have felt like a dog with her head out the car window :D
A cut in the middle of a Z Review? Why I never...
Watching the sound demo on a cell phone is hilarious.
Computer plug power cord is called "ATX power supply cable"
Kettle IEC lead
Try “on high” by the legendary pink dots muh ha ha ha
Why suggest putting it on its side if cramped for space? That will just take up more space. Let it take up vertical space (as its designed to) than floor space.
It can't be a table if its vertical. A table can hide, A huge narrow sub cannot.
Isnt THX Razer now?
Should I get:
2 Monolith THX 15
2 PSA V1802
For my living room entertainment center in an open floorplan with vaulted ceilings. I've estimated it at around 5000 ft^3
Mono 15
PSA
I am pretty happy with my little sealed 10 inch but this sounds pretty clean for not using room correction....
Though before dropping 1.4k I would question whether it's better to buy two smaller cheaper sealed subs, a couple mini dsps and a room correction mic....
heck if you snipe sells, JBL 530 pair, 300$ Two 550ps subs 400$ Mini dsp x2 200$ room correction mic 100$ 200$ dac amp... your still looking at spending less then one of these subs.My brain is too value oriented for some of this stuff man...
I like you so it seems, also have 2 550p's and I love them with my 590's and 530's in the back! Couldn't be any happier for the $400 spent! Can't believe people spend $$$$ more for a sub with a medium size room.🤗😉 They're 50lb little pit bulls!🤪😜😬
You don't know what you're missing until you experience bass like the one coming from this sub. Once you experience its not even debatable.
@@bigjay1970 I also have 2x550P subs, but it's for my 'mostly music & gaming' 5.2 setup connected to my PC. I sometimes fire up netflix too. They sound fantastic, but they don't hit super low, that's the thing. You need a 15" if you want to hear/feel really deep stuff that's in movie soundtracks.
@@bvaljalo
Agree if you're into moving the whole house foundation you do need a 15 inch sub but for my needs these two 550p subs of have which I paid $189 a piece sure work well enough for me at this moment! They match perfectly and of course they would with my 590's in the front two channels!!😇
@@bigjay1970 That's what I paid back in April I think it was. SICK subs for $189, no question.
It is dark outside and this man live(d) in an apartment
Looks like baby brothers of svs pb16-ultra
Cheap wire and cables but excellent quality
Looks like my receiver Denon AVR-x6400h doesn’t have THX.....would I be better served looking at SVS or Hsu???
No. It doesn't matter. THX is just a certification in the case of a subwoofer, not a feature. It doesn't need to 'match' a receiver that's also THX-certified. Unless you really want your entire system to meet THX certification for some reason.
@@bvaljalo I ended up with dual Hsu’s 🤗
@@RomanEmpireRSVR Sweet, which ones?
@@bvaljalo the VTF-3 MK5 HP
Zeos, could you include the interstellar launch scene next next time for the subwoofer reviews?
Nah more basshead music, like phonk N trap style music. one can NEVER get too much bass in those genres.
@@JohnErikjohansson have you ever heard the launch scene? It digs down to 8 hz. Its really loud on both the subs and the fronts.
Monoprice recently had a sale for this sub. I picked one up and im gonna tune it with a miniDSP HD. Cant wait!
14:29 That's what she said.
Not sure why the Irene scene from black hawk down wasn't immediately the first movie scene test...
