At first glance, a set of studio monitors may seem like just another speaker set, but studio monitors are actually very specific pieces of sound equipment. Traditional speakers focus on improving audio quality by boosting bass or adding treble. However, studio monitors are very different.
Studio monitors are used in professional audio applications, so instead of adjusting various sound frequencies, monitors prioritize flat, authentic audio. After all, you need to hear the audio in its original format to better design your final sound mix.
Common Uses for Studio Monitor Speakers
Studio monitors are most often used in recording studios, TV or filmmaking studios, radio stations, and home studios. Anyone who needs to hear raw, unadjusted audio can benefit from investing in a set of studio monitors.
Musicians also commonly use monitors during recording sessions or live performances. On stage, it's vital for a musician to hear themselves and the other performers clearly so they can adjust pitch and tempo while evaluating how they sound to their live audience.
Desktop vs Floor Models
Desktop or compact monitors are most frequently found in recording studios, while floor monitors are typically used on stage. Because floor monitors aren’t mounted at head height, they are often larger or wedge-shaped to direct the sound upward toward the performer.
Passive vs Active Studio Monitors
When choosing a set of studio monitors, you’ll need to decide between passive and active models. Passive monitors, just like other passive speakers, require an amplifier for use. Most passive monitors don’t need to be plugged into a power source because they receive power from the amplifier.
Active studio monitor speakers contain a built-in amp, so you can plug them into a power source and input audio from any device.
How to Position Your Monitors
For the best audio, two monitors are usually better than one. Try to set your monitors up at the same height and distance from each other as from the listener. If you imagine an equilateral triangle, your speakers will be at two points on the triangle and the listener will be the third.
Choosing the Right Studio Monitors for You
Experienced sound engineers know that the quality of your speaker components makes a big difference when you’re assessing sound. Consistency and reliability are important, so it’s always best to select studio monitors from a brand with an excellent reputation among professionals. Mackie, Dynaudio, Behringer, Adam Audio, and Neumann are some of the top names when it comes to creating high-quality, dependable sound equipment.
