Active Monitors

what about these Fostex 0.4's?

they're fine but only go down to 60Hz, i'd personally go for the pm05's instead, or like techmouse said, get some hifi speakers instead, tannoy and wharfedale make some nice budget hifi speakers that will work well, just as long as you can wire them upto your hifi, just needs a + and - connection.

anyone know whether these are any good...

never been a fan of tannoy monitors, they colour the sound too much

[eyeswithoutaface]

i'd personally get some really nice hifi speakers if it's just for djing, some nice bookshelf speakers. I have some wharfedale's just for that, although they are just being used on my hifi seperates system right now, until i get some high end floor standers asap.

[TechMouse]

If it's just for DJing then you want volume and comfort (i.e. not fatiguing your ear after hours on end) so good Hi Fi speakers will be fine.

You only really need monitors if you're producing.

yes what i want is some small speakers that have good clarity of sound

[Aratron]

True enough...

I was thinking more along the lines of hi-fi speakers in the stated budget, which will be pretty good.

could you show me some examples please?

I love the write up for that yamaha -

The Yamaha HS50M monitor delivers performance you can bet your career on.

Lmao.

Anyway, i wouldnt go for the roland at all. The yamaha would be a better bet, but for your purposes i would check out Fostex or KRK. It would be wise stretching your budget a little to get the best you really can afford.

+1 dont go near roland with a shity stick.

for DJing dont use studio monitors. Get some small hi fi speakers with a high RMS figure.

i need one small monitor, for some djing im doing in a local pub, plus it will double as a small speaker for my home recordings. whats wrong with rowland?

[Aratron]

is htere not one person on boa who has an active monitor they do not need and want to sell it? ffs

[p_brane]

check with IQ, he has a post on here selling some adam a7's

[eyeswithoutaface]

if you bought his Adam's, it would be a sin to merely use them a few times a week to just DJ on

you will physically hear them crying all day and night long

if its solely for djing, get yourself some nice hifi speakers and amp

sorted

thanks a lot there. Thankyou for stopping and acutally reading what i was saying.

so i need a pa, not really an active monitor.

this looks like what i need really.

just scared of buying it now. represents a lot of money for something potentially i might have little use for.
at the moment i just need it for a night, in which i am djing for free.
hardly a return on my investment.

[Aratron]

imy mate NRG Phil is lending me his Limited Edition KRK8S in yellow.

How cool is that?

[dirty_bass]

No, why not hire a couple of DJ monitors for the night from a local sound company
shouldn`t set you back more than 40 smacker
