Why you need studio monitor speakers for your studio and how to pick a pair out

By Jr Huff


Most if not all customer audio systems are adjusted so that everything with be richer as well as crisp which is great for the consumer. As an audio engineer it is not beneficial as it will alter music you are working on. You may attempt balance your own music to make up for this, when it is not needed or preferred. Even worse when your client or fans listen to the music it will not sound good. Whenever laboring on music as an "audio engineer" the goal is simply to make sure that it is "transferable". What this means is that when you listen a song it will sound good almost anywhere on any form of music player from an Ipod touch to a home theater.

This is why studio monitors will help you as they strive to not change the audio. In an ideal world they would have a "flat frequency responds" meaning "no change at all of any frequency".No set of monitors are perfect in spite of this they are much less modified then customer equipment. In home and professional studios a like a set of studio monitors (otherwise known as reference monitors) are utilized, and in many cases a few different sets to choose from enabling you to reference material as it recorded and mixed to aid with transferability.

You will find a TON of studio monitors how do you decide on the right one for yourself? Initially decide the amount of money you would like to invest in a set of monitors. Monitors ranges from $200 to $10,000, because of this a budget is vital since it is possible very quickly deplete money.

When I did this I budgeted of $200-$400 for my monitors. In the world of reference monitors this would fall under the "cheap studio monitor group" ; nonetheless it was realistic for what I could afford to pay for. Remember that you may need some wires to connect them up to your audio interface so budget for these as well.

Now that you have a price range it is time to embark upon performing a bit of web research. I started out searching online searching for "studio monitors" and "reference monitors". I devoted time on audio forms such as "Gearslutz"and "The womb" to acquire many other individuals views. I even asked other engineers and audio pupils as well.
