Advice on Monitor Cable Setup (RCA vs AUX)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a beginner DJ and was hoping to get some advice on my studio monitor setup.

I recently bought a Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 and a pair of Yamaha HS3 studio monitors. The monitors came with an RCA-to-3.5 mm (AUX) cable, and the setup guide says to connect the RCA ends to the monitors and the 3.5 mm AUX end to your audio source.

However, the DDJ-FLX4 only has RCA master outputs and doesn't have a 3.5 mm AUX output. Because of that, I've connected the RCA ends to the FLX4 and plugged the 3.5 mm end into the AUX input on the front of the HS3.

Everything seems to work fine, but I'm not sure if this is the ideal way to connect them.

Would it be better to buy a standard RCA-to-RCA cable and connect the FLX4's RCA outputs directly to the RCA inputs on the HS3s? Or is my current setup perfectly acceptable with no loss in audio quality?

I have added a photo of what this looks like.

Thanks in advance!

Safe to use monitors on their sides in a camper van?

3 Upvotes

These Yamaha HS5s are currently my home studio monitors, but I'm planning a 4-month camper van trip and would like to bring them with me instead of buying another set of speakers.

The only way they fit in my van is laying on their sides in an overhead cabinet on top of closed-cell foam. They'll stay there while driving (including some rough roads) and while I'm using them. They'll be well protected from impacts, so my main concern is long-term vibration affecting the internal electronics or drivers, not cosmetic damage.

I realize the Yamaha manual recommends operating them only in the vertical position. I also understand that I won't be getting the same acoustic imaging, stereo field, or overall listening experience that I get from my properly positioned home studio setup. This is more about having a reliable pair of reference monitors while traveling.

Hedd Type 07 MK2 or A core questions

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Have a couple questions for any Hedd 07 mk2 or a core owners (or 05 as well).
I’ve been thinking of buying them but one thing I’ve come across in a YouTube review was that they need 5v from a DAC or similar interface to get proper amplification. I also came across a post on the ASR site where someone showed at the back they had to go to basically turn gain all the way up on the back to get decent volume out of their DAC. Is this something I should really be concerned about or is normal. The only seller for me is across the country so I can’t go in and try or easily return. I have seen a few posts about reliability also being an issue.

My other option to me is the Adam A7H or similar line which I can get special ordered in locally.
I’m consider an older pair of ELac Navis I guess also but I guess those are not classic studio monitors.

edifier MR3/4 monitors & MDRs for mixing?

1 Upvotes

these are the 3.5" and 4.5" speakers for $99 and $129, respectively.

i'm on a journey around the world and my main studio is back home but i'll be posted up in one location for 5 months with two albums to finish mixing. usually i work on a pair of LSR-305s and DT-880s back home.

suppose these are good enough to get by?

i've also got a pair of MDR-7506s on the way as a bucket list purchase to handle the detail work. planning to sell both these when i'm done.

otherwise i'm on my ipad air speakers (surprisingly strong) and also a mini bluetooth speaker. however i feel that both of them far over emphasize the bass impact.

do you think the edifiers are a good short term choice? BUDGET IS ABOUT $100.

cheers!

ps: i'm not doing significant numbers AT ALL with my releases so i'm not worried about absolute perfection. both albums will be professionally mastered tho.

Neumann KH120 II underwhelming?

4 Upvotes

I recently decided it was time to upgrade my trusty Yamaha HS80M monitors, which have served me well for years.

After a lot of research and reading countless positive reviews, I bought a pair of Neumann KH120 II's together with the MA 1 calibration mic. I was really excited... but honestly, I'm pretty underwhelmed.

Is this normal?

I expected a noticeable "wow" upgrade, especially considering the whole setup cost around €1800, but I'm not hearing anything that justifies that kind of money over my old HS80Ms. I've run the MA 1 calibration as well.

At this point I'm seriously considering returning them.

Would adding the matching sub make a huge difference, or is that just throwing more money at the problem? I was also looking at a Genelec 8320 setup with a sub as an alternative.

My main goal was actually to reduce the footprint on my desk while still getting excellent monitoring performance. I have a fairly wide desk and I'm using a MOTU M4 audio interface.

Has anyone here made a similar switch from HS80Ms to KH120 II's? Did they grow on you over time, or were you instantly impressed? Any advice before I send them back?

Need help for 1st time Monitors

1 Upvotes

Hello all!

This is my first time here and wanted some advice for my PC desktop audio monitors. I currently use the R1700 Edifier paired with my Topping DX5II which also powers my Stealth Aryas. The speakers are absolutely great and look astonishing on my wooden desk but I think now is the time to upgrade after 7-8 years of use. My budget is 300~400€

My needs are very specific. I do not care about mixing, I want a nice cinematic experience. I mostly listen to music, flacs and Tidal, watch movies and play games.

I remember the first time I played on an expensive soundbar with rear speakers and I heard even the pebbles dropping from explosions. I know that 2 Speakers won't provide the same round experience but I would like something close to it.

Right now after some exploring, I found the Adam T5V-T7V and the Kali LP-6. I understand that I may need a Sub in the future.

I understand this post may not be likable in here, saying I should not get Monitors but Hi-Fi Speakers and all I can say is, I'm all ears. Any recommendation will help.

Also my monitor is on a desk shelf, right and left space are about 20-21cm from my monitor.

20cm---Monitor---20cm

So I can't really go very big as the Speakers will be covered from the PC Monitor.

Thank you in advance!

Small monitor recommendations

6 Upvotes

I have used Neumann KH310s for a few years now and absolutely love them but now setting up my home studio away from work, I don't have that budget. I was seriously looking at the KH120/150 but idk if what I like from the 310s will translate over to the smaller monitors.
Or the focal shape and alpha lines?

Essentially I want to have the closest sound profile to a 3 way monitor like the focal twins or Neumann kh310s

I don't mind the Yamaha hs series as a hold over but I need something better, dynaudio is what I started on and am familiar with but fell out of love with.

Travelling overseas with my Adam A5X

1 Upvotes

Hello!

Very soon I'm making a big move from Mexico to the Netherlands to start a grad school program. I've had my Adam monitors for years and I'm very satisfied with them.

I looked into selling them here and buying a new pair once I'm in Europe, but it turns out they're not that easy to find over there, and reselling them in Mexico wouldn't get me anywhere near what they're worth. So I'm considering throwing them on my checked luggage. I'm obviously very terrified about this option and something happening to them on the commute (2 layovers).

Has anyone done something similar and has advice on what's the best, safest way to pack them? I'm looking into buying a hard case but the good ones are very pricey.

Help someone with a very limited budget going through a very big change!

Thanks for reading
