Home Studio Monitors

Active studio monitors are also known as nearfield monitors, which is due to the speakers working most effectively when in close proximity to the listener. If you have the speakers more than a few feet away from you, the sound waves will start to reverberate around the room, which is not what you want to hear when mixing. By having the monitors close to you, you will hear the sound only from the speakers which allows for easier and more accurate mixing.

Following on from this, you can still use studio monitors for casual music listening instead of standard HiFi speakers, you will just need to be aware that they won't sound as good if you move away from them, or position yourself differently. The design of these speakers are overall best utilised for production purposes only in order to get the most accurate sound reproduction possible.

All of the home studio monitors that we offer are active/passive sets. This means that the left speaker is active and plugs directly into mains power, while the right speaker connects to the active one using the provided speaker cable, making for an easy setup. You still get stereo audio with active/passive sets like this and you will only need one power socket, which is handy if you have limited space.
