#SONARWORKS REFERENCE 4 KRK ROKIT 5 UPGRADE#
I had the adam a7x before - also amazing but I "had" to sell them some years ago now I am very happy with the jbl´s but want to upgrade to the neumann kh120 in the future. they are perfect for listening to music with room modification "highs at 0db" - for making music and mixing I set the highs to +2db to prevent too much highs in the mix. the only samll negative thing is their own noise from their class-d amplifier - annoys me when I do nothing or more silent stuff. and with the lsr-310 sub on top you will get a great setup for under 550€! for sure they can not compete with the dynaudios but they are much better than most others in their price range or above. The jbl lsr-305 are really great for the money - not flat all imho. monitors, in my opinion, need to have a wide stage and "depth graduation" (the opposite of flat). What do you mean with "flat"? Flat is the last I want monitors to be. I am excited and cannot wait to begin using them in my creative process. I realize they are brand new and need time to "burn in" and for my ears to adjust. That being said, -47 is quite comfortable.
#SONARWORKS REFERENCE 4 KRK ROKIT 5 UPDATE#
Right now, since it is 9:30PM, I am at -47 (I will raise the volume louder tomorrow and update this thread). However, I soon realized that the stereo width on the Dynaudio is incredible, the vocals sound like they are floating somewhere in front of my computer monitor, the bass is not "booming" and causing distortion as it was when I had the Rokit 5's and that I am going to have to really get used to these monitors as I think my initial reaction was to the "flatness" that I was obviously missing with the Rocket 5's.Īs for volume, my normal comfortable listening level is -38 in the Apogee Control App. KRK V4 is a two-way, full-range studio reference monitor with professional performance and accuracy for recording, mixing and mastering. So I plugged them in and played some random songs through them (U2, Pearl Jam, Til Tuesday, Temper Trap, Wyclef, Yanni)Īt first, I thought to myself "WTF‽ The Rocket 5's blow these away" The new V-Series combines the best of modern technology while getting back to what made KRK an industry standard in professional studios for the past 30 years running. Bass extension: -10Hz (which extends low frequencies but reduces output by 5dB).Input Sensitivity: -6dB (this is the recommended setting when using an audio interface with a max output of +20dBU (Apogee Element 24).The monitors are positioned horizontally (Dynaudio specs), sitting on Isolate It Sorbothane Hemispheres) on Gator Frameworks stands, at ear height, tilted inward 30˚.īefore turning them on, I set the dip switches as follows: So, I just redid my home studio/office (yes, I have to work sometimes) and I upgraded from the KRK Rokit 5 Gen 2's to Dynaudio LYD 48's
