Small control room - Monitoring setup advice
Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2012 10:56 pm
Hi there,
I'm setting up the control room in the new studio space where I'll work.

The priority is - apart the best acoustic treatment possible - buying a new monitoring setup.
Until now my main speakers have been M-Audio BX5a, but now I need to upgrade to something more professional. I will produce, record, mix, and do some basic mastering so I'd like something flexible and enough good quality.
Given that the room is very small and so has modal problems on bass frequencies, I think about a monitoring setup that would allow to take out the low end from the equation when needed.
So, my idea is to get a set of small nearfields (woofer max 7" diameter) without massive amounts of low end, which will be added with a subwoofer.
Please let me know what do you think about, and if you have some brand/model suggestions, they are welcome! Thanks in advance
