Frequently asked questions

How do studio monitors differ from hi-fi speakers?
Studio monitors aim for a flat, honest response so mixes translate well elsewhere. Hi-fi speakers often enhance bass and treble for more pleasing listening.
What size monitors should I choose?
Smaller woofers suit compact rooms and near-field use, while larger drivers give deeper bass but need more space and a greater listening distance.
Do I need acoustic treatment?
Treatment improves accuracy by reducing reflections, but even in untreated rooms, positioning monitors correctly and at ear height gives clearer, more reliable sound.
