I’m an understudy for an amp builder - his current project ready to hit the market is a 2U 3-way Passive Monitor Controller with variable step switches and the best components we can find. It’s turning out lovely and we’re looking forward to it hitting the market. Multiple speaker setups are necessary if you really want to hear what’s going on. A great and easy way to reference your mix without moving. Great vid as always fluff

You cannot go wrong with the KH120s. I have a pair of those and absolutely love them.

can you make a video how to run 4 monitors and a sub set up? cable wise connecting everything.

Love that you used Blackbird Studio photos in the video! It's a wonderful place both in the studio and the school.

Great video! I have the Neumann KH80 in my home office for music listening and they are great!

You know, this makes me want to revisit the idea of building out a car stereo rig for my home studio, so that I can have an easier time referencing instead of bouncing the mix and going back and forth to my truck. Anyone else done something similar?

The Neumanns are certainly making the rounds on the KZread channels right now - I watched the Dr. Mix video on them last night. I bet they sound killer. The Neumann KH 80 speakers feature a 4 inch woofer and sell for a thousand dollars a pair, so they're out of my tax bracket, but for people who mix for a living, that's not an issue. The KH 120s look good, though.

Miss ordering from Sweetwater. Oh how I hoped to work there in one time. But that's just wishfull thinking. Great video Fluff. Cheers and God bless

This is my current setup. Made possible from digital interface to analog mixer that can also work like a patch bay. 👍 👍

I have the kh120 for 8 years too , can not mix without them , well except with my new ndh30 headfones from neumann haha

Any thoughts/experience on hooking up multiple subs?

Did you think about Dual sub sistem? (stereo sub) Below each monitors you put 1 sub so you have complete stereo power. Its the world change situation in sound when you have dual sub below the monitors instead 1 sub on the floor..

Hi! What boom arm extension are you using? :)

My presonus t10 subwoofer has an on off switch which is a main reason I bought it. I take it for granted honestly

so... I have a shit listening situation and not much choices because im in an apartment. I was thinking about just buying another pair of closed back headphones and a pair of open back headphones. I have the audio technica m50x that I like a lot and have been using for a while. But maybe listening on multiple headphones could help up my game. just a thought.

Try the Sennheiser HD650. They are half closed. I mix professional as my side job, mainly rock and metal stuff. Living in an Aprtment aswell. The HD650 are great for that. :-)

@@M.Holland awesome dude! Thanks a ton. I’ll order them now

Can you connect two monitors to the Apollo twin ? If so what would I need ? I’m recording with protools I’ve been using jbl monitors with my Apollo twin I just got another set and want you add the new set to the mix … the problem I am running in to is .. how to set a new set if it’s now enough slots to plug in the extra set. Is there an adapter ?

Woo! Buc-ee’s shirt for the win! ❤️

okay but can all 4 monitors have a balanced connection? I have Two RP7 G4s and Two RP5 G3s and I want to connect them all to one interface.

Killer studio set up, but the best is the coffee mug!!!!

How do I setup two different monitors ?

Where did you buy that studio table?

Buc-ees and Topo Chico? We're already best friends!

Aw man I love wrists spirits and gears

Sipping coffee out of that "Mug"? I would lose my coffee all over the studio looking at that mug...Oh wait. Oh, that's You on the "Mug". Never mind.

My mixes improved dramatically when I added some Logitech 2.1 PC speakers next to my Yamahas.

What about Reftone monitors? Have you reviewed this yet?

How did you connect 4 monitors without losing quality?

probably a monitor controller

Buc-ees!!

Mackie 824 mk1’s for 20 years. I know em like the back of my hand. I’ve got some Kali IN8’s (with matching sub), a single mix cube, an utterly crap £5 quid speaker from the supermarket and several pair of studio and consumer cans. I have the odd reference on everything but 95 percent of all my work is done on the Mackies. My advice to anyone up and coming: get the best monitors you can afford and make as much music as you possibly can. You’ll get to know em eventually! And fluff is totally correct: find a terrible speaker to have the odd flick to!

Noob question here: through what type of interface can you output more than one set of monitors?

Gotta say you still need to check final mix in the car. Boom box won’t be a substitute.

All my friends always ask me why I don’t get bigger monitors. I tell them that they’re not needed especially when I’m in 15x10 room. I also will be doing all my final tests in my car and on headphones and other Bluetooth devices. Therefore I see no need to upgrade when I use everything around me to do the checking. I feel a lot of people fall short at this. Laziness will get you nowhere.

Hm... seems like you forgot another obvious benefit of having several _independent_ monitors. I have a four pair monitor setup, all identical, and I use them for signal separation and depth setting in the audio field. Being able to pull up specific signals on their own speakers and not having them share speakers with the rest of the mix helps a lot for me. Also, being able to seperate out different depth zones of the mix on dedicated speakers. I wouldn't go back to a single pair process anymore.

always have two monitor pairs hell have a set of cheap computer speakers too

Not gonna lie. When I first read the title my brain went to computer monitors 😅

Now if you REALLY wanna get into audiophile territory, you'll hire a good electrician and get some big boi power conditioners to eliminate that pesky 116V readout. Make sure your computer is on a separate dedicated circuit.

Longer beard better sound!

I'm of the opinion that expensive monitors are like boats. You've got an ungodly priced speed boat, but all you've got is a creek to play in? Should have bought a canoe. I hear remix after remix of legendary songs and albums that are always getting updated in the newest up to date mixing and mastering facilities which is fine I guess if you need a new reason to convince a customer to buy that album for the 8th time. At the end of the day the song is the same. All the hardware upgrades didn't make the song better. Most monitors will get a person that knows how to use them to that level of polished quality allowing for the song to be heard for what it should be, getting beyond that place of a noticeable "it could be better." I've never heard a mix that sounded like it was mixed on NS10's or the lowly KRK Rokit, to the same level that I've never heard a mix that sounded like it was mixed on Neumann's.

Today on wrists spirits and gear

Surely if you want to know if a mix sounds good you could just buy a cheap shit hifi with usb input for mp3 etc - if a mix sounds good on that it’s going to sound good on anything? Or we can just not be lazy and go the car 🤣

What a Show off
