Soooooo..
I'm def under the impression that my setup is a little off.. I've got the KRK v5's and a KRK RP10 sub.. The Sub has the standard x-over knob and gain knob.. The Monitors have a High Shelf knob and gain..
Whats the proper way to make sure it's all set properly? I'm assuming most people are gonna say x-over at 80hz since that seems pretty much standard.. what about gains.. and the high shelf..
would need to read the manual and look at the curves.
I`d say, don`t use a sub anyway.
As soon as you start with all that mucking about with crossover cuts etc, you never get a good match unless you have spent a really decent bit of money on high end monitors and sub
ya i hear ya.. the 5 inch monitors just don't seem to cut it past like 50hz tho.. I guess i'll dig out the manuals.. U think a better way to go would be to just get something w/ a bigger cone? Event TR-8's or something like that..
Well, not necessarily a bigger cone, but a good low response.Quote:

What monitors are you using anyway?
Also I`m assuming you are working in dance music. Be aware that most club soundsystems don`t go below 50hz anyway.
You could always get the JBL's and the JBL sub.
As this sets up the sub level and cross over for you.
I havent got the sub myself yet, due to lack of room, but even the smaller JBL's give me a crystal bass response. Obviously its not in your face, but thats the whole point ;)
Im sure Dirty Bass will agree with the quality of the JBL's
Well yes I would agree.Quote:

Pared with the subs I imagine it would be great for 5.1 work, but don`t see the point of using them for dance music monitoring.
I would just go with some big midfield monitors if super big bass is what you are after.
KRK RP5's.. i may look into getting another set of something a little bigger..
