Wow,

I'm looking at future monitors for my studio. Focal, twin6 be and Neumann O 500 C - Digital Active Main Monitor. I'm guessing not many here have had the opportunity to hear these in action, but if you have, I would love to read anything about them. My dream is to have a pair of these in my studio. I can't imagine much finer. I can only imagine how well my mixes would turn out and what a total pleasure it would be.

If you claI'm to be mastering engineers using budget monitors in a poor acoustically treated room with nothing more than $200 plugins, take a glance at these, read what these do and then rethink your next $10 mix.

Pure erotic, eargasm...lol... The O500 C is, what I'd call a fine piece of German Engineering.
Enourmes power, enough pressure at 123 dB SPL and excellent specs (and prolly not cheap, I fear).
With those you can always hear and discern what is wrong with a mix.
Just a pitty that they can't tell the engineer how to fix it, but they sure make that easier, as well.

I want a pair, too..
:-(

Well, Chris, the price of pair O410s is roughly 9000 US$, here.
So, I guess and hope, it is the price for a pair. I am sure it will drop a bit when it hits the shops all over the world.
And you must haggle for a better rate, anyway. With that kind of money the shops should be happy to give you a few percents off, before you don't buy from them, at all.

I would like to hears these. In this price range, a lot of great monitors to compete with. I played with the focals a few times. The one thing I like about them is the midrange. JMLabs broke off a pro division, Focal, So they use a lot of the same components. Probably the best monitors I've ever heard were the JMLabs Grand Utopias. I think they go for about $200K with the rare Brazilian wood.

The built in amp on these things is what turns me off a little. Choosing an amp was one of the things that allowed me to fine tune my monitors. but I guess there's no way around it with the digital crossovers.

200 k wow, need a lot of tracks going through to pay for those. Hardly think the business would ever warrant that investment anymore. I bet they're beyond imagining Michael until you actually hear them in person. Probably teaches you something just hearing them?

I've never owned active high end monitors, only active high end PA systems. Its a new journey for me. I love the idea of self powered , I have the Dangerous Monitor so less amps around my clean horseshoe layout make me happy/ appealing. You'd expect the the amps and electronics in these would be very well designed and extremely matched, yes?

Ooo, I do like . I'll do a search on the others you mentioned, thanks!

hi!

I beg your pardon for my bad English
Hall Euphony is not demonstrative of K + H speakers
were chosen by me after hearing them in the control room of the state Disco
and evaluated for their excellent price / performance ratio that I have not found in other systems.

The function of the Hall Euphony is to provide library users the opportunity to play in the best possible audio and audio video (DVD and BD).

Use is restricted to free members of the library
