This subreddit is for the budget minded audiophile that wants to grow out of soundbars, boomboxes, mini systems, portable bluetooth, lifestyle speakers, and PC peripheral branded audio solutions. The treble shows a dip in a couple places (or a bump at 4kHz with an overall recess, otherwise depending on how you look at it). I would say their self-noise level is lower compared to the others old school (AB-amplified) monitors that I had before.

Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail address for further questions. As for SPL levels, these are marketed as a near/mid-field speaker (recommended listening distance from 0.With 12dB lower self-noise, our 2nd generation LP-6 monitor emits minimal to zero noise during playback in both low- and high-volume settings. In small rooms, early reflections figure prominently in what is measured and heard in the room so this curve may provide insights into potential sound quality. However the volume pot on the rear feels a bit cheap and I'm not entirely convinced by the EQ dip switches on the rear. Full output specifications, along with maximum listening distances, can be found in our user’s manual.

instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%. Every time you hear a loudspeaker, you’re hearing both the direct sound from the speaker, and reflections from the speaker’s signal bouncing off of objects in the room. There’s nothing hyped about this speaker: its dual-layer, large-diameter voice coil exhibits a crystal-clear sound with negligible distortion — a full 6dB lower than its nearest competitor. One of the questions I often see from beginners is how does a waveguide influence a monitor’s performance.The LPs have always been praised for their accuracy, and we’re pleased to share that the 2nd Wave versions realize slight but noticeable improvements in that regard, particularly on the top end. If you're switching from passive to these active speakers, there will be a significant volume reduction but I'll take clarity over power. While this won’t neutralize low frequencies entirely, it will not hurt and can only help clear up your lower mid-range response. As the volume of the speakers increases, the ratio of direct sound from the speakers versus reflected frequencies from nearby surfaces also changes. I was first amazed at the size of the Kali's, they are three times the size of the PreSonus monitors and a lot heavier.
