This is called port chuffing. Despite the name, these speakers are designed to be played at lower volumes for critical listening. Try using the high pass at 50hz and turning them down.

Tbh that’s pretty impressive for them to produce that low

I have recorded and mixed rock & pop on these micros for years and have never heard that distortion.

The base sounds good

that distortion noise is normal. 1st I would have them that loud as I would use for a nearfield reference monitor

Yeah but that speaker at that price and at that size with that big of a sound is a feat of engineering. The bass and fullness that's coming out of that thing should not be, per physics.

Pasa cuando los usas siempre a volúmenes altos y tratas de exprimir los bajos, lo dañas

HAD MINE 2 YEARS AND THEY WORK JUST FINE

As u said it yourself, thats just port noise. Thats only happening somewhere at the resonant frequency (40hz or some)

That sounds like a resonance from something else. Does it still do it if you pick them up? I've had similar things with having a glass in a certain place in the room vibrating making an annoying noise.

Same issue for sounds around 55-65hz, ended up sending mine back.

I brought these a few days ago in Hong Kong, get this disappointing irritating problem exactly the same, this defect is unacceptable. This weird noise generated with the bass whenever sort of 808 style kick drums sound are being played, where my Yamaha HS50M does not have this.

I'm replacing a pair of NS10MM with a pair of these. In my opinion this is a non-issue. Sure, this sounds terrible, but I'm sure this is played loud, and you can make any monitor sound like crap if you play it too loud. Get the right monitors for the job. This is a $300 set of 25W monitors.(!) Wanna play bass and bass drum loud? - Get suitable monitors for that! Play these at a level they can handle. You may think that they should be able to handle this, but note the very low bass drone underneath the bass drum. The bass drum and that drone makes for tremendous undertones when they're played together. (The drone may be part of the drum sound - you don't pause long enough for me to hear if it is.) There's a LOT of energy in play down there.

What did you do to them. They are to never sound like that. I use them after hrs when everyone in the house is asleep

Just got mine, exact same thing. I'm returning it , immediately.

Apparently, if you stick a piece of foam in the port holes, it’ll stop. The speakers are great, but poorly built at that port area.

Yep same thing I experienced. These monitors struggles with some sub bass notes/frequencies.

I mean, these speakers aren’t meant for low bass frequencies at all… they are amazing speakers, but I guess people don’t read and research what they are designed for.

I'm suffering the same problem, get your groove on and tune them up to listen to your beat and they start making this same noise!

Brother I have the same issue , I read something about foam in the port holes? Does that work?

Get different monitors if you disagree with the design.

if you shove a piece of foam into the bass port it stops it, but I don't know if that's good for the speaker. It only makes this noise in certain low's frequencies, so I just live with it...
