Hello! Mag-Popost din sana ako ng ganitong thread..

Pwede pa dagdag na din sa comparison yung Mackie MR5 at Yamaha HS50m..? At Oo, medyo magkakasing price range etong apat. Ang dami ko na din na basa na comparison ng mga speakers na ito pero ang hirap pumili kasi sa dami ng websites na na check ko, lahat iba iba sabi..

Thanks! Good Day!

salamat sir sa info! nakakuha na ako ng KRK rp5 g2 pair. mismo ganda ng tunog nya. problema ko lang di ko mapatunog ng sabay. M-audio fast track pro yung interface ko. di gumagana yung Rca 3/4 output. 1/2 outputs lang gumagana kaya isa lang mapatunog ko. di ko alam kung bakit. tsaka may konting hum at hiss sya. siguro dapat gamitin ko TRS cables para balanced sya.

buti na lang ung krk yung kinuha mo. medyo bright daw yung tunog ng maudio at wala akong masabi sa tunog ng krk nung narinig ko dati. about the hum/hiss, una, subok ng ibang cable, pag hindi dun, try mong ikabit straight sa on-board sound output ng pc/mac mo (or pwede rin ipod) at pag ganun pa rin patignan mo kaagad habang nasa warranty pa. pag nawala naman yung hum hiss, subukan mo sa ibang speakers yung fasttrack mo. check mo rin yung pinagsaksakan mo kung may appliance na may motor or flourecent light na nasa same line. check mo pala yung output buses ng protools/logic mo. malamang yung 1/2 lang ang naka enable. sa pagkakalam ko, pwede i-route yung ibang tracks or even padala yung monitoring dun. (assuming dalawang pares ang speakers mo...) try mo rin pala lakasan ng walang audio source or cable na nakakabit sa kanya, para malaman kung sya yung pinang gagalingan or ina-amplify lang nya yung hum/hiss.

@IvanL33: Congrats! Buti naman naging masaya ka sa purchase mo..

Baka KRK na lang din bilihin ko kasi di ko talaga alam kung alin dyan sa apat..

@acidtest: Na-Try mo na ba yung KRK RP5 naman vs Mackie MR5?

Good Day!

IvanL33 · « **Reply #5 on:** May 30, 2010, 11:58:00 PM »

@Acidtest: salamat sir! actually may naririnig lang akong hiss pag nakatutok na yung tenga ko sa speaker. eto sinubukan ko yung suggestion mo na try ko on yung RP5 na walang nakakabit na cables. ok naman wala syang hiss or ano mang tunog. nasubukan ko na ring saksak rekta sa keyboard ko. tahimik din naman. gamit ko unbalanced cable tapos nakasaksak sa balanced output ng rp5. ganon din may naririnig lang akong buzz or hiss pag nakatutok tenga ko sa speaker. mahina lang naman pero ganon ba talaga dapat maririnig ko pag tutok na tenga ko sa speaker or natural lang sa studio monitor yon? first studio monitor ko kasi to.

di ko pa masusbukan yung suggestion mo sir na check yung output buses ng Logic ko kasi na-block na yung software ko e. pirate kasi. hehe

kaya balak ko bumili ng original copy ng logic express 9 pag may budget na.

@RazrX: salamat sir! mismo yung KRK. kahit sobrang lakas na hindi nagiging distorted yung tunog. ganito na rin kunin mo. sa yamaha commonwealth ko kinuha yung sakin. mabait pa yung salesman don na si Richard.

Thanks! Check ko na lang din yung Yamaha sa Commonwealth!

Nakakita din kasi ako KRK sa Hi-Fi Lounge sa Festival Mall, Alabang. Mas Malapit, pero, wala ako ma-Compare na Yamaha na Speakers kasi di nila carry yung Yamaha. Salamat ulit sa Info!

IMO...

KRKs were always on the brighter / trebly side...... I've used a couple of different models and its pretty much like that. They're good for tracking though coz you get to hear buzz/ hum/ hiss and other audio anomalies.
The BX-5a is quite good for mixes...

Hello, bloodshedd! Baguhang Question lang.. Ano mas wise bilihin, yung maganda sa Tracking o Mixing? Kasi wala pa din ako Monitor Speakers. Yung budget ko, pambibli ko na lang sana ng magandang Microphones. Kaya yung mga ka-Price range lang ng mga BX-5a at mga KRK RP5's lang napagpa-planuhan ko bilihin.

2c lang. As soon as you can afford it, upgrade to something bigger. There is a tendency to over-compensate on the bass frequencies on a KRK RP5.

Unless...you get used to them (vis a vis the response on other speakers) and learn its nuances enough that you can translate your mixes to other speakers.

I'd prefer mix monitors... translation kasi yung hinahabol nating lahat pag nagtitimpla tayo eh... Of course we need to listen to our mixes in different environments / audio systems din to "proof-check" our mixes.

Shot pa! Disco!

RazrX · « **Reply #14 on:** June 04, 2010, 11:20:47 AM »

@BAMF: Thanks!

Check ko din kung kaya ko pa I-stretch ang budget ko para sa mas malaking speakers.. Yung budget ko kasi talga para sa saktong Mics muna..

@Bloodshedd: Thanks! Subukan ko maghanap pa ng speakers na mas malaki na maganda para sa Mixing.. Salamat!

buti Krk yung kinuha mo.

Yung BX5A masyadong boomy yung bass. as in. maganda yung clarity pero parang sobra sobra sa bass. pero maybe it has something to do with the room rin.

Yup.... The room where you place your speakers is a big factor...

Plus the possibilities that:
a. There's a tendency to boost bass frequencies when we use smaller monitors.
b. There's a tendency that our mixes will sound bass-heavy because of the monitor placement in smaller rooms.
c. There's a tendency to boost bass frequencies as if there's a sub.

marami pa pong possibilities...

acidtest · « **Reply #17 on:** June 09, 2010, 09:58:39 AM »

problema ko rin yang boomy bass. nag a/b na lang ako sa reference song/s madalas....

irajames · « **Reply #18 on:** June 09, 2010, 11:34:50 AM »

well i read somewhere in the internet that having a sub paired the bx5a will make a huge difference daw. para mabawasan yung load sa power amp nung woofers. maybe someone here could give it a try

Basta your monitor speakers must be at least 4 feet away from the nearest wall.

It also helps if you have some absorptive elements in your room, although the bass is the hardest to design for, it takes very large absorptive or diffractive elements to do it right.

Another thing you can try is to learn how to mix at low volumes. This reduces the impact of your room on the translation of your mix. Of course you can audition it loud later when you're done.

And etc etc etc ...

Hi guys. I'm planning to upgrade from my M-Audio AV40's to the KRK Rokit RP5-G2. Any ideas where I can buy a pair? How much did you get yours?
