I remember when I was in my Buick regal I had a house speaker it was a 15 and I had it hooked 15 house speaker and then I had a 10 house speaker in the back of the road Rio yeah but I hooked up a thousand 1200 w amp and a 800 watt amp to the 6x9s and the 1200 watt to the amp again the other one's going to the tweeters and that other beat
Which ever you feel personally fits you and your existing need & budget best. If it were me, I'd prefer to mix on the KRK's and then reference/adjust in the headphones as needed.
Google brought me here, I’ve never known the difference between monitor speakers and others. Now I have a very good understanding thanks to your description. Thanks!
I personally thought your analogy entertaining. One which certainly sticks in the mind. Plus I'll now look at the ladies when in full make-up, as in a state of "enhancement" ; )
Ok. A question from a novice. Since my cd i listened to has already been "altered" and "beautify" in the recording studio, would it be better to play it back on a studio monitor at home than a normal house speaker since it will only be adding to another layer of "alteration", thereby changing the actual sound from cd?
+David Di Franco Thanks man, I greatly appreciate it. Now that I look back at that video, I realize it was a little over extended... but I think I got the point across..lol. Thanks again for watching and more importantly for all you do!
thanks man! been trying to decide between computer speakers and monitors and this video made me realize for just listening on my pc that computer speakers would probably be best just to enjoy listening
I kind of stopped believing in hifi after I had a couple hours with Tannoy Reveal 802s (and a bunch of other monitors, just liked those the most). I don't think there's anything in the hifi world for the price that can go that loud and still not be hard on the ears.
Pro audio sounds better than home audio. If you have the money go for it, if not then find a pair on eBay. I recommend a pair of acoustic studio monitor series 3311, they come in different styles but perform identical. I have a pair and I love them.
Very true with acoustic sounding that matters from design although, I have to admit, Ive been using House book shelf monitors for few years, and have amazing Mixes, from different genre's. Its more of the person behind the mastering, than the speakers itself. My book shelf speakers used are some old Bic America DV62s, and do justice for what it is, im happy with results. I am looking to get a pair of Adams monitors this weekend. I may compare both for to review my thoughts.
An excellent video. much agree with the points made. Domestic speakers do tend to be made to sound 'good' or 'nice' whereas studio monitors are designed to reproduce the signal fed to them as accurately as possible.
In the end it all comes down to the frequency response of the drivers and the tuning they have undergone. If you can calibrate your speakers, whether home or monitors will be better is debatable. Are your speakers diy? What parts did you choose? Are you using built in amps or external ones? How clean is your AC power? (yes, that's a thing...). All in all it comes down to speaker capabilities and calibration. A controlled environment without reflections is also ideal.
Great video man, I've got a question about overheating problem with studio monitors. Is it a common problem from your personal experience? In my time I made a dumb decision and bought Mackie CR4 which died in 7 months due to overheating (here where I live summer is not so tough, but sometimes can give you few hellish days) and now I'm planning to buy something more expensive. The only concern I have - damn overheating, I don't want to pay a load of cash to find out that they will do the same trick and die due to overheating.
+Diana Williams Thanks for watching! Yes, they would sound good connected to your computer, if you don't mind a bit of a flatter sound compared to regular stereo speakers. I actually use studio monitors for my computer speakers and love it!
Lewis Beasley Thanks for responding. My husband went through some old boxes and found our old Dell Zylux speaker and subwoofer. I was kind of hoping to try out the monitors, but these are decent enough for the computer. It would be really neat if we were able to detect the different sound between home speakers and monitors in a demo video. Please keep up the good work.
What about stage speakers? Ive got some 30w pioneer bookshelf speakers ive run a signal and the dont start getting loud till 50hz then as it goes up I can hear the dips along the way. Yea most home speakers accent the pleasant sounding frequencies of recorded music.
I am just a beginner keyboardist that usually play at home. I was about to buy some yamaha speakers but after watching this, I don't think I need them since I only play for fun and not for recording. I received inaccurate information about monitors so i was confused. Thanks for your video
+Drey Co The answer to that will vary from person to person. Some people don't like the flat sound that comes from most studio monitors. Some people it don't bother.
great video, was interested in getting some m audio studio monitors,just wondering if my own guitar recording will sound dull when using these to record,im just a bedroom guitarist interetested in getting better recordings' don't really know how to mix.
so i play guitar and use a line 6 helix. Should i buy studio monitors or pa speakers to monitor the sound while playing at home? I want the sound to be as close as possible to what it would sound like in my church pa.
+Austin Quon Truthfully, that is a question only you can answer. As stated in the video, studio monitors put out a very flat and natural sound. Some people do not like that and truthfully it does take some getting use to. That being said, if your looking for the "Best" sound for your gaming, I would recommend else where. Perhaps a set of speakers designed for the gaming experience.
Also, if you're using a Windows operating system, most sound drivers are setup with enhancements by default, which should be disabled if you wanna know what your work really sounds like.
Would you recommend studio monitors for the sole purpose of listening to music? I have some logitech z506s at the moment but want a higher quality speaker system to listen to music on. Any help would be appreciated! Good video btw, earned a like from me.
It depends on your definition of "Higher Quality". If your not a fan of "flat frequencies", then I would not recommend Studio Monitors. They will get you a bigger sound (depending on the size of the drivers), however that sound is going to be flat sounding.
Unburnt Toast So, to answer your question, I listen to music through studio monitors ALL the time. I have a few pair that are solely setup for music listening. I would recommend that you visit your local music shop and spend a little time listening to audio through a pair of monitors. That would be the best way to answer your question. Hope this helps my friend!
Better late than never my Friend ;-) I like the Way you Explain everything. So that I with my BAD English understand what u mean... I.am your new Follower.....Oh . I use the KRK Rokit 8 G3. And i,am Happy with this Speakers. Best regards and go ahead with your Vids......
"sound" doesn't travel through the wires. You're right that electricity travels through it, but it then travels through a coil that generates a electromagnetic field to move a magnet attached to a cone, that cone then vibrates to create "sound".
what is the technology behind making studio monitor.can some1 bought some tweeters and woofer from market and make it at home?cause studio monitor seems soo costly 'sorry for bad english'
Glad I ran across this, Starting a home studio as a non-musician and just gaining the facts. Would have wasted money on cool looking speakers that would have not served my purpose. Actually the cool looking speakers will work for my other main computer, but not my home studio. Very good, and simple explanation. BTW, I've had that experience with a fake chick before!!!!
Doug Wallace Thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm so glad this video was of some help. In the future, try to stay away from those "chicks" in costumes! LOL!
Your advice definitely got me on the right tract. I just wish when people are talking about a Home Studio setup on TH-cam, they wouldn't call them "Speakers". Maybe they know a professional know the difference, but a novice would not have a clue, they should call them "Studio Monitors". Nonetheless, after you "calibrated" my mind to the right path, it only took me another hour of research to lead me to what I needed, a good Stereo Monitor for a small space. The iLoud Stereo Monitors www.ikmultimedia.com/products/iloudmm/
So I have a computer and was wondering how to make music. If I just get an akai mpk 49 and a software will I be able to start making music? Thank you I really hope you can help because I really wanna get into music and there are not that many good tutorials about music making on the internet.
thuggalo 17 Yes, with a mpk 49 keyboard controller and music production software, you can start making music. If your serious about wanting to succeed in music production then don't stop there. Expand your gear beyond that if you get the opportunity. That being said, they keyboard controller and software will definitely get you started. I 'm working on some training tutorial courses for people like you who are wanting to get into music production. I will also be mentoring a group of individuals interested in music production. You should join my e-mail club over at www.lewisbeasley.com. My e-mail club members will be the first to hear about it. - Hope this helps!
Bro i have these M audio aw 40 speakers , would you recommend hooking them up with my tv or should i get some powered speakers bookshelf speakers or a sound bar ?
great work thanks. am not professional in music but it's my life. could you please suggest me. which could be best as a music listener a studio monitor like KRK 8 or a HI-FI MUSIC system like panasonic or sony. please help me.
+SHOBIN ZACHARIAS That really depends on the person and their preference. I will say this. The average person may not like the FLAT sound projected from a pair of studio monitors, including the KRK monitors. If your looking for a high quality sound, then I would suggest the Hi-Fi music system. If your looking for a more natural flat sound, then I would suggest the KRKs. Again, it just really depends on the person and the speakers purpose.
Wrong, what you are talking about is "what's the difference between bad home speakers and good studio monitor"... Of course if you compare a pair of bad home speakers to a good set of studio monitor, than the home speakers will sound shitty (either boomy, shouty or edgy) while the studio monitors will sound fantastic in comparison. A good home speaker vs a good studio monitor will both have a flat frequency response and the main difference will be that MOST studio monitor will have a built in amp and MOST home speaker will require an external amp. And that feature is to save space since a lot of studios already have a bunch of electronics laying around so you don't have to add an amp to the mess but in the end, it's an amp powering some speakers... A lot of high profile studios actually mix with high end home speakers (ex; Abbey Road Studio mixes with Bowers & Wilkins 800 Diamonds speaker). Now, I get your point about low end speaker "lying" to you by putting an emphasis on some frequencies (more often than not, in the boomy 60-80hz range to give it that thump that give the IMPRESSION of bass) but that is present only in VERY low end stuff. as soon as you spend a respectable amount of money, you get decent flatness. And if you intend to mix with cheap studio monitors, it wont be any better, you get what you pay for! I don't mean to be offensive, I just don't like the way you put it. Listening to this video, It's like you are saying that home speakers are bad and studio monitors are good. And it's not the case! I'd rather mix with a good set of home speakers than a bad set of studio monitors. And bonus point to the home speakers for letting me choose the amp so I can get something good with a toroidal power transformer. It is very rare to have that feature on built in amps on studio monitors, most of them are using EI core transformer which, in most cases, lack in dynamics! Again, not trying to be offensive, it's just that the world of audio and acoustics is loaded with misinformation and false theories! And I hate it when I hear colleges and friends believe wrong things because they heard some guy pretending to know audio say it.
+Luan Zondervan Absolutely! I have an additional pair that I keep connected to my everyday desktop computer. It may take a bit of getting your ears use to the flat sound, however for most that's a quick process. Hope this helps!
Yes! Obviously the bigger the monitor speaker and housing cabinet the deeper the bass response. If your in a smaller room, I would recommend a 5 inch pair of monitors. If your bigger mid-size to larger room, then I would recommend an 8inch pair of monitors. My ears have always been happy with the bass response from the Yamaha and M-Audio models.
+Chilla Blaze Thank you for watching! I greatly appreciate your support. In regards to your question, it really depends on your intended use. I'm going to assume your going to use the monitors for mixing music? Buying "A PAIR" of studio monitors under $200 is going to be tough but not impossible. I personally am always looking for great build quality and sound quality which tends to cost a bit more. That being said, with a $200 budget, I would likely recommend. You save up another $100 and buy 2 of these KRK's... 1. KRK RP5G3-NA Rokit 5 Gens - amzn.to/214OgJa If that isnt an option for your budget, then I would suggest that you look into these two speaker monitors... 2. M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 - amzn.to/1Tgs4Nn 3. PreSonus Eris E4.5 - amzn.to/1Tgr1x4 Again, I'm assuming you will be using these to mix music. With a $200 budget, your not going to get the top of the line, however I think these will give you a good bang for your buck. If you decide to buy one of these, please use my Amazon links above. I do get a small kick back that gets re-invested into this channel for future videos. Hope this helps and stay in touch!
+Lewis Beasley ... Lewis, Thank you very much, I actually wanna get two monitors and two normal ones, just cos when I listen to mixes When NOT recording, I guess the sound is better, right? I mean monitors are purely for working with,....is that right? I was considering the gen3-5 rokit series too. Thanks again!!
+Chilla Blaze Yes, you are correct. Assuming that the mixing engineer has put together a professional mix, That mix should sound even better on a pair of regular speakers VS. natural / flat sounding studio monitors. If your getting a pair of studio monitors for recording/ mixing and a second pair to listen to your mixes, then your on the right track! I have four sets of monitors, 2 sets for recording and mixing and 2 sets for listening. Having that flexibility that your talking about is a very good way to go.That being said, the KRK's allow you to adjust the frequencies on the back of each speaker. So, if you do not like a very flat sound, you can pretty much dial in the sound your looking for with a couple twists of the knobs on back. Those monitors provide a little more flexibility then your average monitors. However, due to their size, you shouldn't expect the bass to rattle your heart...lol. Anyways, let me know what speakers you end up buying and share your experience with me. Thanks again!
+Lewis Beasley thanks so much. I didn't know that about the rokit monitors. Maybe that's the best way to go initially then. I'll let you know what I end up getting, :)
I liked and subbed to thiss video/channel just from the comments allone before even 30seconds in and it’s a great videoo
Thank you !
Thank you for taking the time to watch, comment and subscribe. Welcome to the family my friend!!! I greatly appreciate you and your support!!
I remember when I was in my Buick regal I had a house speaker it was a 15 and I had it hooked 15 house speaker and then I had a 10 house speaker in the back of the road Rio yeah but I hooked up a thousand 1200 w amp and a 800 watt amp to the 6x9s and the 1200 watt to the amp again the other one's going to the tweeters and that other beat
3:26 what am i watching again?
Great thanks for your review, what is the best choice for recording : KRK Monitor or Headphone DT770 ?
Which ever you feel personally fits you and your existing need & budget best. If it were me, I'd prefer to mix on the KRK's and then reference/adjust in the headphones as needed.
Great thanks@@LewisBeasley
This feels like a story my dad tells from his years at collage.
5 min story bout an ugly ass lady. speakers. K.
Not only did you answer my questions extremely well, but I also laughed my ass off the whole time! Great video man!
Enjoyed, thanks bro
Your welcome. Thanks for watching!
Google brought me here, I’ve never known the difference between monitor speakers and others. Now I have a very good understanding thanks to your description. Thanks!
Great analogy! This is possibly the best explanation of why you need good studio monitors that I've seen.
LOL....Thanks Chad!
Excellent! Thank you. Your instructions were clear, entertaining, to the point and generally brilliant. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching!!
I personally thought your analogy entertaining. One which certainly sticks in the mind. Plus I'll now look at the ladies when in full make-up, as in a state of "enhancement" ; )
What about the other way round? I want to use a studio monitor at home!
Tells a long story then says to make a long story short
Ok. A question from a novice. Since my cd i listened to has already been "altered" and "beautify" in the recording studio, would it be better to play it back on a studio monitor at home than a normal house speaker since it will only be adding to another layer of "alteration", thereby changing the actual sound from cd?
Great video, dude! I loved the analogy.
+David Di Franco Thanks man, I greatly appreciate it. Now that I look back at that video, I realize it was a little over extended... but I think I got the point across..lol. Thanks again for watching and more importantly for all you do!
best explainer video ever, I got it and laught the hell out a lot.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch it!
thanks for the heads up, bro
You the only one i found to really explain the difference.
Some of the best selling songs of all time we're mixed on home HiFi speakers. The Yamaha NS10. There still found in the worlds best studios.
True! The NS10s don't even have a flat response yet it can make mixes translate ridiculously well to all speakers.
What about using studio monitors as home theater speakers as they would reveal everything as the director intended?
Now that's how you break it down in a way that will help a person trying to learn the craft. (we see you, good job).
That massive speaker as your "regular house speaker"? Wahhh!?
thanks man! been trying to decide between computer speakers and monitors and this video made me realize for just listening on my pc that computer speakers would probably be best just to enjoy listening
I kind of stopped believing in hifi after I had a couple hours with Tannoy Reveal 802s (and a bunch of other monitors, just liked those the most). I don't think there's anything in the hifi world for the price that can go that loud and still not be hard on the ears.
on the same note, would it also make sense to buy a studio monitor for my TV for watching movies or to for listening music
Pro audio sounds better than home audio. If you have the money go for it, if not then find a pair on eBay. I recommend a pair of acoustic studio monitor series 3311, they come in different styles but perform identical. I have a pair and I love them.
I like this man ,he just answered my question
Thank you! Glad you found an answer!
Very true with acoustic sounding that matters from design although, I have to admit, Ive been using House book shelf monitors for few years, and have amazing Mixes, from different genre's. Its more of the person behind the mastering, than the speakers itself. My book shelf speakers used are some old Bic America DV62s, and do justice for what it is, im happy with results. I am looking to get a pair of Adams monitors this weekend. I may compare both for to review my thoughts.
thanks for the simple info i have been searchng for *subbed*
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
This is the video I needed. Thanks a lot! Subbed.
I dig the ‘Ima get you sucka reference’ lol
An excellent video. much agree with the points made. Domestic speakers do tend to be made to sound 'good' or 'nice' whereas studio monitors are designed to reproduce the signal fed to them as accurately as possible.
In the end it all comes down to the frequency response of the drivers and the tuning they have undergone. If you can calibrate your speakers, whether home or monitors will be better is debatable. Are your speakers diy? What parts did you choose? Are you using built in amps or external ones? How clean is your AC power? (yes, that's a thing...).
All in all it comes down to speaker capabilities and calibration. A controlled environment without reflections is also ideal.
Great video man, I've got a question about overheating problem with studio monitors. Is it a common problem from your personal experience?
In my time I made a dumb decision and bought Mackie CR4 which died in 7 months due to overheating (here where I live summer is not so tough, but sometimes can give you few hellish days) and now I'm planning to buy something more expensive. The only concern I have - damn overheating, I don't want to pay a load of cash to find out that they will do the same trick and die due to overheating.
Super
Very helpful video. Would monitors sound great for home use to hook up to my computer or phone? Thanks
+Diana Williams Thanks for watching! Yes, they would sound good connected to your computer, if you don't mind a bit of a flatter sound compared to regular stereo speakers. I actually use studio monitors for my computer speakers and love it!
Lewis Beasley Thanks for responding. My husband went through some old boxes and found our old Dell Zylux speaker and subwoofer. I was kind of hoping to try out the monitors, but these are decent enough for the computer. It would be really neat if we were able to detect the different sound between home speakers and monitors in a demo video. Please keep up the good work.
The great thing about this video is he told what you need to hear and what you didn't. Great video !
WHY THE FUCK ISNT THIS DUDE AT 1MIL SUBS, Bro amazing video, i really love your content good doin what you're doin.
+Encino Thanks man. I GREATLY appreciate your support. I'm working on that 1MIL man!
Lewis what good studio monitors would you recommend
Man- I loved that story lolxx you doing great.
You guy are awesome man..........
Thanks @Annushka Nanaayakkarage
What about stage speakers? Ive got some 30w pioneer bookshelf speakers ive run a signal and the dont start getting loud till 50hz then as it goes up I can hear the dips along the way. Yea most home speakers accent the pleasant sounding frequencies of recorded music.
what if you are not producing music but want to listen to a good audio.. can you suggest studio monitor?
building a home studio soon. this helps alot. thanks so much man. subbed.
Great video thanks!
You bet!
Anybody else think of that episode of Fresh Prince when he used that illustration? lol
Dudes got a landline. So retro man!
LOL...that's not a landline. It feeds off of VOIP service (Vonage). Well, it did back when I had it 3 years ago.
thanks man

Are studio monitors like M-Audio AV32 any good for gaming?

I died at your story. Absolutely amazing XD
LoL...Thanks for watching!
my question is what is the difference between 12", 15", 18" but the same power and the same impedance? thanks
Arent the massive speakers white van speakers? I saw he exact same ones in a review

what is better for vinyl sound?
Whatever your ears prefer. I assume you are referring to DJ mixing which is a totally different art than what's being referenced in this video.
Really informative💯

Very useful.
Would you recommend studio monitors for the sole purpose of listening to music? I have some logitech z506s at the moment but want a higher quality speaker system to listen to music on. Any help would be appreciated!

It depends on your definition of "Higher Quality". If your not a fan of "flat frequencies", then I would not recommend Studio Monitors. They will get you a bigger sound (depending on the size of the drivers), however that sound is going to be flat sounding.
I would just like a crisp, open, clear sound from the speakers on my desk, with the bass mainly coming from a separate subwoofer.
Unburnt Toast So, to answer your question, I listen to music through studio monitors ALL the time. I have a few pair that are solely setup for music listening. I would recommend that you visit your local music shop and spend a little time listening to audio through a pair of monitors. That would be the best way to answer your question. Hope this helps my friend!
pleas tell me about electronics components of studio speakers and tell ma about equipment kit
Wooaaah. very very Good Lewis...thanks

I don't mean to be offensive, I just don't like the way you put it. Listening to this video, It's like you are saying that home speakers are bad and studio monitors are good. And it's not the case! I'd rather mix with a good set of home speakers than a bad set of studio monitors. And bonus point to the home speakers for letting me choose the amp so I can get something good with a toroidal power transformer. It is very rare to have that feature on built in amps on studio monitors, most of them are using EI core transformer which, in most cases, lack in dynamics!
Again, not trying to be offensive, it's just that the world of audio and acoustics is loaded with misinformation and false theories! And I hate it when I hear colleges and friends believe wrong things because they heard some guy pretending to know audio say it.
Jules Bilodeau how manny grammy awards fo you have?
What if you're receiver has a flat setting? With bose speakers...
If mixing, a flat setting is much better than exaggerated frequencies!
So basically.. A house speaker is like a scene out of "Im gonna git you sucka"
Rich Bruns lmao fake butt legs
hey could you mix and master a song for me ?
yes the speakers are important but only base on room acoustics
Very good point Andre Cordice!
One more sub for ya! There just isn’t enough time in the day to watch all these videos!🤪🤔. Great video content.👍👏
Excellent video dude
Photography In A Click Thanks!
great explanation mate
great video but can i use studio monitors for my computer just to listen to music casually.
+Luan Zondervan Absolutely! I have an additional pair that I keep connected to my everyday desktop computer. It may take a bit of getting your ears use to the flat sound, however for most that's a quick process. Hope this helps!
+Lewis Beasley but do you hear any bass
Yes! Obviously the bigger the monitor speaker and housing cabinet the deeper the bass response. If your in a smaller room, I would recommend a 5 inch pair of monitors. If your bigger mid-size to larger room, then I would recommend an 8inch pair of monitors. My ears have always been happy with the bass response from the Yamaha and M-Audio models.
Is it good for hip hop
Drake, future
very good (and funny) video!!! By the way can you recommend a nice pair of active monitors for under $200? Thanx :)
+Chilla Blaze Thank you for watching! I greatly appreciate your support. In regards to your question, it really depends on your intended use. I'm going to assume your going to use the monitors for mixing music? Buying "A PAIR" of studio monitors under $200 is going to be tough but not impossible. I personally am always looking for great build quality and sound quality which tends to cost a bit more. That being said, with a $200 budget, I would likely recommend.
You save up another $100 and buy 2 of these KRK's...
1. KRK RP5G3-NA Rokit 5 Gens - amzn.to/214OgJa
If that isnt an option for your budget, then I would suggest that you look into these two speaker monitors...
2. M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 - amzn.to/1Tgs4Nn
3. PreSonus Eris E4.5 - amzn.to/1Tgr1x4
Again, I'm assuming you will be using these to mix music. With a $200 budget, your not going to get the top of the line, however I think these will give you a good bang for your buck. If you decide to buy one of these, please use my Amazon links above. I do get a small kick back that gets re-invested into this channel for future videos. Hope this helps and stay in touch!
+Lewis Beasley ... Lewis, Thank you very much, I actually wanna get two monitors and two normal ones, just cos when I listen to mixes When NOT recording, I guess the sound is better, right? I mean monitors are purely for working with,....is that right? I was considering the gen3-5 rokit series too. Thanks again!!
+Chilla Blaze Yes, you are correct. Assuming that the mixing engineer has put together a professional mix, That mix should sound even better on a pair of regular speakers VS. natural / flat sounding studio monitors. If your getting a pair of studio monitors for recording/ mixing and a second pair to listen to your mixes, then your on the right track! I have four sets of monitors, 2 sets for recording and mixing and 2 sets for listening. Having that flexibility that your talking about is a very good way to go.That being said, the KRK's allow you to adjust the frequencies on the back of each speaker. So, if you do not like a very flat sound, you can pretty much dial in the sound your looking for with a couple twists of the knobs on back. Those monitors provide a little more flexibility then your average monitors. However, due to their size, you shouldn't expect the bass to rattle your heart...lol. Anyways, let me know what speakers you end up buying and share your experience with me. Thanks again!
+Lewis Beasley thanks so much. I didn't know that about the rokit monitors. Maybe that's the best way to go initially then. I'll let you know what I end up getting, :)
Do u recommend to use studio monitor jz for home music listening and TV?
I recommend using studio monitors for any serious/professional work.
@@LewisBeasley thank you.
