Hi,
I’m in the final stage of finishing my control room, it measures 3 meters wide x 5 meters length, and I’m going to soffit-mount my monitors, which I hope that would serve as midfield monitors, along with nearfields.
The questions:
- Is it too big for the room if I use monitors with 10” – 12” inch woofers, such as JBL 4410/4412 or Tannoy System 1000?
- If it’s too big, then how about 2-way monitors with 8” woofers for the soffit mounted monitors? It would be the same size as my nearfields though.
- Any recommendation of which type (size, powered/non-powered, etc) and brand should I choose for the soffit mounted monitors? I’m aiming at $400-500 price range, but if it’s necessary, I still can manage up to $800-$1000, but that’s the limit.
Any suggestion are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Ari
Are the monitors too big for my control room?

Those JBL's, atleast the 4412's do not play that low, and they are intended for near-field video editing/small control rooms. I think that they are pretty flabby myself. Go for the 4410's. They have a punchiness to them, and sound more balanced IMO. Go for it.
