Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. With the volume set at nominal level, does the monitor pop when the power is turned on or off?

A: I have not had any hum or pop turning it on or off. I also use balanced, shielded cables when recording in the field. This monitor has worked quite well for me :)

Q: 2. Can this feed to my monitors? I don't have a sub ouput on my interface but want to add a subwoofer. What is the satellite output used for? Is that for my monitors that I want to daisy chain off of this sub??

A: Yes. You would connect your interface outputs to the Sub Inputs then Satelite Out to your speakers,

Q: 3. what av cable do i need to connect this to a kanto yu4?

A: The Kanto Living sub8 8" 300W Subwoofer (Matte Black), B&H # KASUB8VMB, can be connected to the Sub Out on the back of the Kanto Living YU4 2-Way Powered Bookshelf Speakers using a mono RCA subwoofer cable, such as the SVS SoundPath RCA Audio Interconnect Cable (6.5'), B&H # SVSPRCAAIC2M.

Q: 4. where can I find the overload indicator?

A: There is no indicator. You should be able to hear any distortion before the systems are overloaded. =============================a href= http://static.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/115939.pdf target= _blank http://static.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/115939.pdf/a

Q: 5. Can you connect your iphone directly to these monitors since they are "active"? thank you

A: The Yamaha HS7 studio monitors are powered and a source can be directly conected into them.The Hosa Technology Stereo Mini (3.5mm) Male to 2 Mono 1/4" Male Insert Y-Cable - 10,' BH #HOYCSMM2PM10 would be an appropriate cable for this application.

Q: 6. where are you located?

A: B&H is located in New York City. 420 9th Avenue NY, NY 10001

Q: 7. So, I have to ask - what is the difference between this stand and a standard mic stand? Realistically, it seems one could use any mic stand (table or floor) with a 3/8" thread. Thanks!

A: The base plate for this will have a better balance than a normal mic stand for the larger speakers like the xx4x and xx5x size speakers. The pole is thicker than a standard mic stand and has a locking pin as an added safety measure. A standard mic stand pole may not support the weight of these monitors. Microphone stands are not designed to support the weight of a monitor. They may easily tip or start to slide down

Q: 8. I have a small studio/mix room (120 square feet/11 square meters). The room is acoustically treated, has a 5-foot X 6-foot ceiling cloud, and wall to wall carpet. I'm using Adam Audio A7X reference monitors. Would I be better suited using an Adam Sub 8 due to the smaller room size or the Sub10 to more closely match my A7X speakers?

A: Due to the room size, it may be more suitable to opt for the Adam Professional Audio Sub8 - 240W 8.5" Active Subwoofer as opposed to the larger Adam Professional Audio Sub10 MK2 - 200W 10" Active Subwoofer.

Q: 9. Hi, what cable s would you recommend for these speakers?

A: The Focal Alpha 80 Evo Active 8" Monitors and Sub One Subwoofer Kit should be connected using XLR cables, such as BH #KOM4010.

Q: 10. Is this a ported or sealed sub?

A: This is a sealed sub woofer.

[50 to 150 Hz] Lots of clarity in these speaks with a small footprint. Love the front facing power button.

[50 to 150 Hz] Have a pair of these in my studio. Nice to hear them in a treated room. They sound great. Not as nice as the A7X or A77X but good enough for most people on a budget.

Just be sure to break them in. Let them hit hard for some long sessions. Once they are worn-in, they sound clean and it’s easy to appreciate the nuances in your mix.

[28 Hz to 150 Hz] Built like a tank and with a very clean sound these monitors fit perfectly in my cramped office where I do video production. I was searching for a good set of monitor speakers for video editing and a professional recording engineer recommended the Adam line. I'm not disappointed.

[Vertical] First off, I am not an audio professional but did my undergrad in recording technology so I have a good amount of experience listening to excellent monitors in well-treated rooms. Previous near-field monitors owned include JBL-4326p, Dynaudio BM5A MkII and JBL LSR-305, with the application mainly being audio for video, casual listening and some audio mixing. Being that I am currently set up in an untreated office (something I hope to change soon) I was apprehensive about trying a 2.1 setup since I know a sub can create all kinds of issues in an untreated environment; however this set still performs very well and absolutely is an improvement over my previous monitors in terms of imaging, dynamics and transient response. At first I was a bit put off by the sound of the A5Xs: they came across a bit sterile and lacking any emotion (they are tools first and foremost, after all). This was a bummer since I hoped to do some casual listening on them, but after giving my ears some time to acclimate I am enjoying them much more now, particularly in the high frequencies... very very detailed without the usual fatigue associated with this level of detail. They really provide a crystal clear cutout of each musical element in play, allowing me to hear deep into the mix. The Sub8 sounded pretty disjointed to me at first, but once I dialed in a decent placement and figured out it needed the phase inverted in my case it blends seamlessly with the A5X (with the crossover and monitor high-pass both set at 85Hz). Overall I am very happy with this set and would gladly recommend it. Can't wait to hear what is possible with some room treatment!

[110 dB] I don't use these monitors to record. I use these as computer speakers to listen to music, movie and etc. I hook them up with a DAC and use RCA. The sound is very clean (I hear things in my music that I never heard before!) The high and mid are sweet. The bass is ok. I have all setting on flat and vol on 0dB. I control the vol from the DAC. I like these monitors. I listen to the A7X and it sound better, but didn't fit my budget.
