To wrap this up - if you're a tall bastard like me (196cm), it is worth noting that monitors would be best suited on stands. My monitors are maybe 30cm away from me, they are perfect, however, they SHOULD be at your head-level or close to it.ĭo you get acceptable sound if they are slightly off? Yes you do - do you get a better sound if they are set perfectly? Yes you do. I have seen horrible monitors placements and what you are hearing is simply not what it is. If you are a producer and are mixing tracks, you already know what to do, but for every day music listener, guitar, bass, keyboard whathaveyou player - you do not this.īUT - you do need to put these monitors in appropriate places. Is this necessary for listening to music or whatever you may be doing through the monitors outside of mixing? NO - absolutely not, you can have these without having bass traps, foams on your wall (even though the internet will lead you to believe you do) and what have you. Now, many of us cannot afford to 'dial in' the room just to fit the studio monitors. There are many guides on the internet - however, here is why everyone on the internet drags on in endless arguments (and for a good reason) about the perfect positioning of the monitors and doing the room preparing. KRK's are connected via Scarlett Focusrite 4i4 interface using XLR cables (yes, you NEED cables) and are padded with the bundle acoustic padding. They were on my bucket list, but I thought 'eh, those will get loud' - and trust me, they can get loud, but it is so damn easy to tame them to a perfectly reasonable listening level. I did NOT know I needed studio monitors until I received these.

This is going to be a lengthy review - however, not to waste your time, I am not a professional, or a producer, so if you are looking for such a review, you can keep scrolling to find that one (plenty of those around).
