Black eQualizer: 0. I turned the Black equalizer off and sharpness down to 1. I'll likely play around. I heard it works best when you turn it on.

- but make sure your post has more substance than boasting. I see recommendations for RTS 1 but didn't love the colours on it.Just got this monitor 2 Fridays ago.
I've been using RTS 2, which has much deeper colours and suits Destiny well. I also turned the Brightness down to 50 because 100 seems way too high, monitor is still super bright and I sit quite close so it doesn't wear on your eyes.I turned the Black equalizer off and sharpness down to 1.I'll likely play around with the settings some more but the game looks amazing currently. The monitor has also done wonders for my sniping coming from a 50' LED w/ 50ms input lag. I got these settings from someone on here previously and they work well!Picture Mode: RTS1Display Mode: FullBrightness: 100Contrast: 50Sharpness: 1Black Equalizer: 0Color Temp (User Mode): Red-94 Green-89 Blue-97Senseye Demo: OffDynamic Contrast: 0Overscan: OffHDMIRGB PC Range: 16235Smart Focus: OffI use different settings that I've adjusted to my preferences, but this is a good starting point.
Also, I agree that it is a fantastic monitor! I'm extremely happy with my purchase.
Great article!Two questions on point 7. Background first. SPL'd my 2.1 setup using a couple different methods/mics and found (not unexpectedly) that the further I went below the sub crossover frequency (120HZ) the greater the 'pump' it provided relative to the 5' satellites as I toggled the sub on/off. So I chose to equalize the setup dBs at that crossover point.Questions:1) At what frequency should I attempt to 'match' the dBs between the sub on/off states?2) What criteria should be considered when setting a crossover frequency for a 2.1 setup that has a variable crossover setting? Mixing vs Mastering vs. Etc.Pre-thanks for your feedback! Hi Koolmeme.Re (1), sounds like your approach—match sub to satellites at the crossover point—is solid.
Ideally, you want the sub to pick up seamlessly from the satellites at a point where the smaller speakers are still more or less flat, just before or just as they start to roll off. As to what the best crossover frequency will be (2), I'd say if you want the most neutral response (always the goal!), then it'll depend more on the size and low-frequency extension of the satellites than on genre or application. I'd say 120 Hz is near the top of the range—I prefer around 80 Hz or so, but if the satellites are on the smaller side (.

Hi Joe, thank you very much for this article. It's very useful and it really helped me set up my studio speakers. A couple of weeks ago, I bought a set of KRK Rokit 5 monitoring speakers since many review sites (this was what made me decide on it said they're the best in their price range and I could only afford cheaper ones. These studio monitors sounded awful at first but after reading this article and following the suggestions it finally sounds better now. However, the bass still sounds a bit too much, do you have any suggestions on how to fix it? Hi Allan -I think the most likely way a 5' speaker would exhibit too much bass is if it's up against a room boundary (wall, floor, or worst of all, corner). If that's the case, that'd be the first thing I'd try, moving them a couple of feet away from walls and floor.
If they were sitting on a resonant object (something hollow, for example) that could also over-emphasize bass. Of course you'll want to check that no tone controls are boosting the low end unintentionally. Any 'Loudness' buttons should be off - those are intended to compensate for quiet listening levels by strongly boosting bass, but they're notorious for overdoing it, and they should never be switched on for normal-level monitoring. And I assume you've checked the monitors with various commercial recordings as well as your own mixes.
Hopefully one of these might be a contributing factor to an overly-bassy response, and addressing that will restore a more even balance.Cheers,Joe. You're right, you can't tell from the picture. Many monitors have different dispersion characteristics in the horizontal and vertical planes - so a particular model might have wide horizontal dispersion to allow for a more inclusive listening area, but narrower vertical dispersion to avoid reflections, as pictured. It sounds like you need to increase the input volume for your vocal mic. On the interface there should be a knob labelled Trim or Gain next to the mic input you're using.
With the channel strip in record-ready mode (red light flashing) turn this up until the meter in that channel maxes out at around -6 dB and then record - that should be plenty of level for your vocal. In playback the levels for the various channels should be set so that the level in the meter in the Master channel strip also tops out at around -6 to -3 dB (from the top). Then simply crank the listening level on your amp/speakers for a suitable monitoring level. Hmm.First off, an anechoic chamber is not an 'ideal room' - at least not for listening to or mixing music. Hi Pjay999 -Regardless of the speaker design or port location, the speakers are still subject to the effects of room modes if mounted up against a wall. If they have a switch on the back to match their low-end response for different placements, the half-space position would theoretically modify the bass response to be more suitable for wall placement, but you should still get more even bass response with such a switch in the full-space mode, and the speakers mounted a couple of feet or so from any room boundaries.Cheers,Joe.
