Polk Monitor Series Ii

[8 Ohms] Wow, I am really impressed! I had Polk's M series hanging outside for 15 years and they finally gave up. They lived through tropical storms, blizzards, and faced west into direct sun for all those years. Obviously the replacements were going to be Polk's. The minute I powered them up I was happy I did.

[Black] I highly recommend anyone with an Aputure series such as the 120 mark ii to make this purchase.

[14 x 7.1 x 7"] The XCD 65mm is a must-have normal lens for the Hasselblad X Series. Truly the beat all around lens for the X1D and X1D II. Producing beautiful detail and bokeh if used for portrait work. It’s no surprise this owns is award winning.

[9, Rounded] I have owned a lot of Canon super telephoto lens, including the 300 IS II, the 400 IS II, and the 600 IS II. My primary interest is creature photography. When I was given the chance to buy the 400 IS III at a substantial savings in used, like new condition from B&H, I jumped at it. I had read reviews reporting that the image quality is superior to that of the 400 IS II, but my experience has failed to support that claim. For fear that the new lens might not be as good as my copy of the 400 IS II, I kept the version II and have done extensive comparison testing. I can detect no improvement in image quality. The version III is significantly lighter and its center of gravity is farther back, but for the difference in cost, I consider the version II to be the better buy. (I generally shoot from a sandbag out the driver's window, from a gimble-mounted monopod out the passenger window, from a tripod with a gimble for prolonged shooting setups, from a monopod with a gimble when hiking, and hand-held for shooting flying birds or running mammals. In all of these the series II performs as well as the series III, except that for wing shooting the Series II is superior, because its front-heavy balance and extra weight cause it to swing more smoothly. (Both lenses produce sharp images with 1.4 or 2x Series III teleconverters.) I greatly prefer either to my 600mm IS II, which is clumsy for handling in tighter spaces, and which does not produce high quality images with a 2X teleconverter. Never-the-less, at 75 years of age the lighter weight is appreciated. I question, however, whether the lesser weight of the series III is worth its extra price tag.

Works great with Sound Devices MixPre-10 II and genuine Sony L-Series Batteries!

[0.145 lb] Works great with Sound Devices MixPre-10 II and genuine Sony L-Series Batteries!

[3H] Great next-generation Z monitor. What you would expect from a reliable series.

[0 / 180°] Excellent companion for Polk Sound ************System**********

[Active 3-Way] The best sounding speakers ever. I will always get Polk.I also have Bowers and Wilkins and I prefer the Polks.

[2] This is the best option for monitor level and routing control with the Focusrite Red series interfaces. And, by extension, some control of their other Rednet Dante interfaces. It controls output options from mono all the way up to 7.1.4. With the added bonus of an assignable headphone out and talkback mic.
