Good info for film makers. I used to work in recording studios and produced a lot of bands/artists in the 1980-90s - In almost every studio I walked into any where in the world there was a set of Yamaha NS10Ms sitting on the console. Those were the speakers we used to do most mixes on. They were actually relatively very inexpensive - the large speakers that most people have seen in recording studios, we used to call "the client speakers" - used mostly for playback for clients - Although very accurate - they did over emphasize bottom end and top end- We never used them to mix on. I did hear you mention that you go to different places and listen to your sound tracks on different systems. Although that is not a bad idea, the near field monitors are supposed to be reference monitors to give you a non exaggerated sound that can reliably tell you that it should sound good on any system. That's why we mixed on them. To the untrained ear, field monitors might not sound as good as their friends stereos but it is more akin to a computer monitor that is too bright and you color grade to it - others look at your film and it because you graded it to what you see - they see something totally different - The same thing happens in audio - if you have too much bass in your playback and you EQ sounds with less bass, when it gets taken out of your environment - it will sound like it lacks bass. Someone else asked about headphones - I now have Tinnitis ( ringing of the ears ) so I don't recommend using headphones unless you really have to ( late night sessions ) the fatgue that you put on your ears with headphones can be life changing. So be aware.
People end up turning headphone volume past what they do on their speakers. This can account for hearing damage. You may be surprised if you "level matched" the headphones to speakers that it would be a lot lower on the volume control than you expect :)
Right man, now my point of using headphones in mixing... Most of people listen music by their phones or I pods, doesn't matter what kind of music but there are many devices which everyone use for reproducing the music right? Now what is the point to not use headphones in mixing? Tell me one reason why I cannot close my self between two fucking ear plugs and enjoy music that way? Of course that I am trying to play it then on all possible devices, but when my wife sleep next to me and it is deep night, it is best time for me to enjoy my music creations. I can make it all as I feel it at the moment so it is atmospheric and authentic too. So for your information, I always mixing my shits with earphones and then I testing it on another devices. BTW 80's 90's just gone, so that time they didn't know about mobile phones or Apple shits. They knew only Walkmans for tapes. Man you actually need to look around you and see what people do in this century. I have to provide you one video that shows how nowadays music can works with 100 years old equipment. It is amazing how time running and things just change ruclips.net/video/fR4BuM6dP44/видео.html At the end don't take me wrong, just saying that I mixing my stuff with earphones in my fucking head, that's all I wanted to tell you and I am happy with it because then, when I put my music into my fucking ears then I can feel same atmosphere as I made it in.
Wow, I watched one of your older videos, and the audio quality was subpar, but now it sounds great! It's great to see that you're always improving as a channel. Also you're one of the most informative sound channels out there. Period. Subscribed!
Great vid, Tom. I use the M-Audio AV-40 in my studio/home office/guest bedroom. They have just the right amount of frequency bandwidth/response so I can create a mix that's in the "ballpark." I then make a CD and test out the tracks on my home entertainment 5.1 system, my old college stereo that can still crank up the sounds and my car stereo. I make a few notes and go back to correct any tracks if needed. It's a great and inexpensive way to create some quality promo tracks. 2 thumbs up for your review and advice.
I have a friend who uses the Behringer. Sounded pretty good when I mixed and mastered his projects for the first time. Now I master all his future projects.... I have my studio though with KRK 5s Gen 4 Rokits....
Yamaha HS7 or HS5(or anything in the HS series). These were meant to be the home studio equivalent of the NS10. The NS10 actually started out as a bookshelf speaker for your stereo. There was an old trick using a layer of tissue paper to cover the tweeter to dampen the often piercing highs. Not saying they are bad. There was a joke going around that if you can make a tune sound good on NS10, it will sound good on anything. Take that however way you want to.
I got a set of Fostex PMO.N4 Pro Studio Monitors at the local pawn shop for a steal. They were priced at $100.00, and I got the lady to drop them down to $50.00 because they were not only on the bargain table, but it also means that they had been there forever and never sold, so I got them cheap. They have been one of the best investments that I have made regarding my home studio. They are phenomenal...the clarity and flat response are spot on and exactly what is needed when recording and mixing your music. Awesome product...and sadly, totally underrated. They are really great monitors.
Eris E4.5 and Mackie CR4 are the best ones for music production, they have the most accurate response if anyone is wondering. Specially the Eris E4.5, which are also the most expensive ones.
Ummmm...huh, where do I begin. I'm really glad that people like you exist. You do a wonderful job for the community, and everyone is greatful. I just want to share some of my opinion and life experiences. First of all, if you are a begginer, a freelancer with no head start what so ever, you are going to look up these monitors, they are cheap, but until you get the hang of the game and start earning from what you do, they will do just fine. If you already work on projects like movies, advertising, mixing, audio recording, effects recording and what so ever, if you earn from what you do, buy better quality sound speakers. Why? Because the difference is gigantic. Expecially from 150$ to 600$ monitors. When you pass the mark of 1000$ it is just a matter of opinion which is better. However, if you save 500$ you can get a lot better speakers then those that cost 150$. This is ONLY for people who allready MAKE MONEY FROM WHAT THEY DO. :) For 400$ you can get a good pair of monitors like the Yamaha HS 5. I have them, for a monitor that costs 199$ each, they are magnificent. The difference is that you get a stronger speaker, 45W per speaker, you get a more "clean" and transparent sound, more detail. Not to mention that these speakers are often compared to the legendary NS10 because the Yamaha HS 5, and the whole HS series (HS 5, HS 7, HS 8) is very flat and dull. If you get your mix to sound warm, balanced and lively it will sound good on any speaker. I do my mixes on them, later test it in a car stereo system, home Hi-Fi systems, phone headphones, and some better quality studio monitors like Genelec, Adam, Focal, Event, GBL, Dynaudio and many more. There is a good choice for that money, you don't have to buy Yamaha speakers. You can buy Krk monitors, small Adam monitors, maybe a small pair of Genelec monitors and many more. The speaker is the end of your audio chain, it reproduces everything that you have done and it is wery important to have good qyality monitors. Not only monitors, If you record you need a good microphone, interface and monitors. Those are the main tools that you operate with. Music production, audio engineering is not a cheap profession. You need to be a good engineer, but to get a good sound that stand up to a bigger studio you need good equipment. Don't get me wrong, a good studio is nothing if the sound engineer is lacking skill, the point is that you need both. Start small if you are a beginner, but if it pays off expand like a sponge soacking up water. Expand fast and big. Go bigger, don' t be cheap, in this business you get what you pay for, there is no lie. More money, better equipment. Thanks again for the wonderful video Tom! Cheers youtubers. :) P.S. Sorry if my English is bad. It's not my native language.
I have KRK Rokit RP10-3's. Large modular 3-ways - the mid driver & tweeter rotate - so you can configure horizontally as nearfields and then vertical as midfields (what the other guy called "the client speakers") so it gives them longevity. Once you mix on 3-ways you won't want to go back. You can hear so much more.
Sold on the dual inputs. Computer connected to one, music from phone to the other. Using a Matrox for video monitoring in my setup, I would have music streaming on the computer, but when I hit the space bar, music would stop, and the video application would take over. Great review. It's hard to find videos of the MS40.
I'm currently updating and upgrading my workspace and need new monitor speakers. Great information here for speakers that are within my budget. Thank you!
@@banjostring9610 I've seen a few of your comments on hear so I wanna ask you. As a beginner with limited space that works on both music and film. Sense I'm on a budget I've been stuck between the MS40s, E4.5s and the HS5's. I need something with just enough low end for music production but bright enough for video.
I am use internal pci m-audio audiophile 24/96 sound card, of course ms20 have all audio interface analogue RCA or digital coaxial or spdif conectors 24bits/192khz
Thanks for the review. I recently purchased the MS40 and i felt very disappointed with the quality of the woofers when a bass sound goes really loud and deep. The woofers don't produce very clear sounds, however, the twitter are awesome. I probably was asking for too much considering the price.
intresting video. I ordered the mackie cr4. Did a lot of research, and picked those. Whats remarkable is how audio seems to be EXTREMELY subjective. For instance I read somewhere that if you need a reference monitor for recordings, then MS40 is quite uneven, lacks resolution and clarity on mid band and its treble has absolutely no resolution, and that same person recommended Audio technica av40 instead. and I found a number of articles where the AV40 was not recommended for video editing. in my confusion I picked the speakers that were the least criticized (according to my research anyway). anyway, I like your videos, except when you come off a bit smug (sorry, don't mean to hurt feelings, as I said I enjoy your videos). :)
Hey just get up and go to a audio store, and test by yourself, nobody can say to your ear what are the best, because nobody have the same ears than you
just in case its of any interest to anyone, the behringers are Roland Edirol ma 20d clones. the rolands are very good so of course these are too, however its a clone as in identical internals and drivers but the ports moved and cosmetics differ to make it not too obvious. Unfortunately the changes caused them not to perform as well as the proper Roland version, this was because the the tweeter was in the centre and the ports equally spacde below it on the rolands, the behringers have the tweeter moved to one side and the ports to the other, but the biggy is that for that to succeed both speakers would have had to be opposite orientation but as they are identical when you look straight at them it means that whatever way round they are one ear has bass ports closer and other ear has tweeter closer :) thats why pairs of speakers with offset uncentred designs have one of each orientation, i avoid saying left or right because they can still be used either way round but it just means the sound is distributed correctly/evenly either way round :)
I think there's a little bit more to this than just picking out the speakers but I guess it's a start. Honestly, just save up and buy powered speakers because passive ones require an amp and usually they color the sound. Also, don't mix through computer sound cards because they don't accurately reproduce the full frequency range, instead use an audio interface.
I'm in doubt, and I would like a suggestion ... Fluid C5 .. Mackie CR4 .. or Presonus Eris 4.5 ... All of them are in the same price range. My room is not a treated room. I will mix headphones, it would be my input monitor, to later invest in a Yamaha H5 or more ... Thanks!
I have a set of the 16 Watt Behringers. Good! I ordered the 40 watt set for my home studio. I am curious what other cables I would need a the moment I am using a 1/8th stereo plug which goes directly into my PC I am glad these were you best pick. The feature I like best about the 16 watt monitors are the Front Mounted Controls. Thanks for a great Review. .
I currently use the Behringer MS40 love these speakers as i work on a mac system with a digital audio i utilize the Digital from the speakers to the computer.
Some of us are mature, patient, and enjoy thorough information. Thats why so many people die from mixing pills because they never stopped to read, consider, and be thorough. Anyone who isnt lazy knows they can skip. We are audio people after all. Better to have higher quality files that at any time can be dumbed down to 128kbps or lower(ughhh guess thats for folk like yall) than have everything permanently in 128kbps which cant be converted into something higher. Simple maturity of thought prefers options.
Hey man great video I just bought the behringher ms40's , and I have no idea how to set them up to my my laptop or audio interface , the box only come with the power cord and the cord that connects the 2 speakers together. How do I set these speakers up and what cords do I need thank you.
Guido from Italy. Good video thanks. Why exactly you preferr MS40 over Eris 4.5 ? for general manager music listening and some mix ? Second have you ever considered Eris 5 or the new 5xt for the same use ? I have untreated and untreateble small room and I listen music for 80%and small mix 20% for my personal use. What are your suggests ? Actually I use an AKG 702 plus semipro headphone amp with RME BABYFACE PRO . Bye and thanks for your work.
For nearfield monitor you should at least have a matched pair.You show 2 speakers with the tweeter mountet to one side.Both of them the same side to HA HA.so for nearfield monitoring what do you think happen to the sound stage?Do you have some insigth in sound,like speakers and amplification etc?
I agree with what you mention, in many aspects, what I find difficult to understand, something I never understood about JBL, not in the most professional models of course, but they had a number of completely symmetric monitor models, the principle basic of the triangulation that you explain, or listen to near field in frontal form, depends absolutely on the distance that exists between the emitter and the receiver, in this case, speaker and ear, if the monitors are symmetrical, the reference is asymmetrical, or vice versa, in your first image you are mixing asymmetrically. (???) the high frequencies of your left side come later to your ear, than the ones on the right, due to the proximity effect ?, that is why the speakers with a diffusion are the coaxial ones, secondly the asymmetric ones, as if they were seen in a mirror, and in a very, very last place, the symmetrical ones, ah and to pray at the moment of hearing it in another place where there is no asymmetric reference. ohh I forgot, please do not anyone think to buy the Behringer MS40, they are one of the worst monitors that have ever been done, they are not even close to a real reference nor in stereo panorama and much less in frequencies, ??? Tom Antos! you do not recommend those things to people!
Which would you prefer with the TRS 1/4" inputs? I'm trying to find the best bang for the buck using the 1/4" jack inputs. I just don't like the aux cable set up. Also i just purchased a focusrite 2i4 interface and the outputs for the monitors are 1/4". So I'm just trying to keep things simple using the 1/4" cables. Thanks and I enjoyed the video.
Hi, this is a nice review! Am still finding it difficult to decide between Presonus Ceres 3.5 BT, Behringer MS40 and Alesis Elevate 5. Wondering if I can attach a Bluetooth adapter to Beringer or Alesis since that too is a priority. Could you please suggest?
Hello, I have a very small place for my control room where I do the mixes of the bands I work with. The place is about 2.3 meters long and 1.05 meters wide (3'6" wide and 7¨5" long). Do these speakers work for this type of place or do you think the Presonus Eris 3.5 would be better for that small place?
Only one thing to add: If room acoustics are shit, you might wanna go for a smaller woofer or invest in bass-traps. I have 8-inch woofers, Tapco S-8. In my previous home & room they sounded great, there was dampening from carpets, bed and non-concrete walls and ceiling! Now, I'm in a cube with tiles on the ground and concrete walls. There are low frequencies that are pronounced horribly by room reflections.
Did you check out the JBL LSR305 as well? Many video editors are praising those. I am actually looking for a pc monitor for editing. Which one are you using at the 12:26 mark? That one looks awesome.
+TomAntosFilms Ah yes, but I was referring to the computer monitor, or computer screen, not the monitor speakers. It's confusing to call them both monitors haha.
+Christiaan Sugiono The LSR305's are much better than the monitors reviewed here but they're also in a different price range. If you have the budget you definitely want to go with the JBL's but these are not bad for the money. I compose, record & mix music for films for a living (in an acoustically treated studio) and can recommend the LSR305's.
i wonder why the Behringers arent symmetrical.....wouldnt it be better for balance if they mirrored each other rather than having everything on the same side of both speakers? Especially when these arent sold separately and are easily distinguishable via the controls on one speaker.
Do I have to get a subwoofer to go with these speakers or can I just use the speakers?? Also a digital interface? - I'm editing short documentaries - I'm new to this. Thanks so much!
Hello Tony! :) I just got the Behringer Digital Monitor Speakers. Can you tell me what cord you use to hook up the computer to the speakers? Thank you!
+Pawel Wojcik film studio It's not my studio... Im in the process of working out of a suitcase as I have work all over the world, so right now I just did this temp setup. Planning on getting a new place and nice setup next year
do You still recommend Behringer or are there now better speakers under 200usd? Not asking for professional use. Just gaming, movies and general use. There is now m-audio av42 a bit cheaper than this. I had mackie cr3 but they died...
Should I get the Mackie CR3 or the M-Audio AV32? I'm a noob when it comes to audio but I listen to all sorts of metal and play a lot of video games, I appreciate the responses.
behringer ms40 I think are the best monitors out of the all the monitors you showed (For people on a cheap budget) that said you forgot to mention its greatest feature that none of the other monitors had....... Front Bass Ports. :D
how can you tell if a monitor is self powered? I'm extremely new to all of this... so basically I was told older monitors had to be run through an amp of some sort. Newer ones don't have this requirement do they? hope I'm making sense, cause I need to purchase a pair for my setup here soon and I don't wanna waste my money or waste my time and ship it back. I'm looking at a pair of 305P MkII right now, it says "powered" so this means self powered right? That's all sry if this is a dumb question.
Also If You look at the Behringer Speakers the Tweeters are In the Wrong position Both are set to the Left. So Stereo Imaging Is going to be a Problem.
Hello World. Hi. On most Speakers, The Tweeter Is usually set In the Middle. But on Near Field Monitors You have the Tweeters Set As This. The Left Speaker has It to the Left and the Right to The Right. So They spread out the Top Rage for Better Imaging. If they are set as these are they give a Closed Image. If you look at the Other Speakers In this test they Have the Tweeters Set to the Middle. But the Behringer Speakers don't. they Have the Ports set to the Right and the Tweeters set to the Left as You look at them from the front. Now leave the Left one as It Is. But on the right one the Ports and Tweeter should be the Other way round IE: Ports to the Left Tweeter to the Right. Now do You get It. Pushing the Image farther out.
+Cadiop Yamaha HS7/8, Tannoy 502/802, JBL LSR 305/8. I prefare these and would tend to 8 inch subs if u wanna wanna hear very low ferq sounds and ur not an expert wit adding an additional subwoofer.
Been mixing and mastering for 25 years, Yamaha ns-10's are the worst monitors for any music mixing! I would rather use a cheap presonus before those. I have used almost all monitors from pro to home. I currently have Genelec 1031's and JBL's. I have a small pair of presonus for very close listening. The best small pair I have heard recently are the neumans..expensive but very nice for a smaller room.
That's why there are the HS series. Much better monitors. Completely flat. Those JBL's sure do look nice but I haven't had a chance to sample them which also let to me ordering a pair of HS8's and will be receiving them on Tuesday. I'm coming from a pair of Rokit 5"s G2 and had them for the past 4 years now. Time to upgrade.
hueseph The 10 is a sub. The 8's don't bother me. I've seen a lot of mixed reviews which also scared me at one point because I already ordered them at the time but I love my HS8's
Hi!I want to buy MS40 to listen lossless music on pc on not great and a moderate level while sitting at the table directly instead of multimedia systems . Tell me it's a good idea or not ?
As a beginner with limited space that works on both music and film. Sense I'm on a budget I've been stuck between the MS40s, E4.5s and the HS5's. I need something with just enough low end for music production but bright enough for video. My research keeps showing 50/50 reviews on the Behringer MS40 and presonus E4.5. does anybody have any experience with these?
The pair that I have recently started having an issue with the stereo circuit.. I tried with multiple devices and the left channel is much quieter than the right, and clips randomly.. Ive had them for about 2 years now and never had, or heard of this problem, any ideas to fix without buying a new pair?
interesting that all of these stop way before they reach 50Hz and all have the slave style connection (one speaker getting sound from the other instead of having their own power). which is the best one for mixing jazz, classical, etc?
Spend a little more money. These budget monitors will be disappointing. $400 minimum for a decent pair of monitors. Or buy a used pair of HS5, HR824, Genelec. If jazz is your thing, don't scrimp. I found a pair of KRK mk2 R5 for $240 for the pair on Craigslist. A steal.
don't buy any of these. Grab some high quality recordings (minimum of an original cd at true 44.1 at 16bit...not mp3!) go to a store and dem. Try some Yamaha HS 8s at a bare minimum. You could get some B&W from a hifi store, they're better than most "monitors" below £400.
Great video! Wish I could get the Behringers but they are too big and cant find any monitors I like in the right size. :/ Anyone know of a pair of speakers that are maximum height of 20cm? (I have a very small room and as such a very limited real estate and have to place the monitors on the desk beneath the monitors)
So long as your monitors input is TRS or XLR balanced. I would stay away from any monitors that aren't self powered like the MS40's he has shown. You want each monitor to be self amplified. Even better, self bi amplified. A little secret would be to just buy yourself (if you aren't mixing professionally) a pair of Yamaha HS5's for 200 a piece brand new or get them cheaper used. You will never have to buy another pair of monitors again. If you are mixing professionally, then I would go with the HS8's. But the HS series are based off of the NS series from the 80's. It's a great investment.
CR 4 are *70* hz at -3 decibal(Presonus and Berh. are likely the same?). That is horrific. However, it is much cheaper than the Yahmha HS5, which has similar specs.
I've actually been stuck between all three. The MS40s, E4.5s and the HS5's because I need something on a entry level budget with just enough low end for music production but bright enough to edit audio for video. If you had to choose between them would you still go with the HS5?
@@dc4068 The problem is everyone on RUclips is selling something, and the ones that aren't are professional music pros who buy outrageously expensive stuff. I'm stuck using Klpisch multimedia 2.1 and want to upgrade but was so confused by the sheer madness of it all I gave up.
@@valueofnothing2487 Yea I hear you I'm getting to that point myself. I figured there was a reason why most of the budget speakers are only available online. Thanks for the feedback, Ill just have to save up and buy in a higher tier that I can actually go and test out somewhere. Hope you get a chance to upgrade bro
Can anyone recommend me a pair of studio monitors for mixing orchestral? I haven't owned a pair before and have been using standard logitech computer speakers for the past year and a half. I'm guessing anything advertised as 'Studio monitors' will be better than what I'm using now, but there's so many. I was looking at the JBL LSR305 since I've found a pair with stands for £210, but was wondering if there are any alternatives. Thanks
Krk has a nice "big" sound that would be great for that. Particularly the rokit 6s. There are also the JBLs you mentioned or you could get a pair of m-audio bx5 d2s and a sub. Just beware because there are m-audio monitors called bx5 Carbon. They are different then the D2s and don't sound as good.
no no no no no! none of these for orchestral. Not even KRK. More scoops than an icream stand! Just buying a set of B&W hifi speakers is way better as a sart. The dramtaic dynamic and frequency range in classical is way beyond that of those in this vid and KRK "DJ" monitors
poor advice like this stated with a tone of "gospel" is the reason why people should actally learn about sound and what they're talking about before advising others.
A couple of questions: 1. Is there any advantage to using speakers instead of my Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones? 2. What kind of digital input do the last ones have? There are several mutually incompatible types. For example, I use Behringer UCA222 to get the sound from my computer via USB. It has an _optical_ output. Would that be compatible with those speakers? Thanks.
+RustyTube Speakers sound more like what most of your audience will hear when listening to your mix. Also check ur mix on headphones to make sure it sounds good on those too. The Behringer have coaxial and optical digital inputs
Yes. The sonic soundscape. You DO NOT and WILL NOT EVER get a true representation of stereo fidelity in two "speakers" strapped to your head. Ear fatigue is dramtically increased. The dynamic range is different. so many reasons. cans for tracking or casual listening. Monitors for correct and propper audio work.
Save yourself some time and start the video at 4:26

Which headphone do u reccmmend for editing?
Kainthemain dt880pro and etymotic er4sr
thanks lol

Finally someone appreciating big brother Behringer for its worth!!!
Great vid, Tom. I use the M-Audio AV-40 in my studio/home office/guest bedroom. They have just the right amount of frequency bandwidth/response so I can create a mix that's in the "ballpark." I then make a CD and test out the tracks on my home entertainment 5.1 system, my old college stereo that can still crank up the sounds and my car stereo. I make a few notes and go back to correct any tracks if needed. It's a great and inexpensive way to create some quality promo tracks. 2 thumbs up for your review and advice.

They are phenomenal...the clarity and flat response are spot on and exactly what is needed when recording and mixing your music. Awesome product...and sadly, totally underrated. They are really great monitors.
Eris E4.5 and Mackie CR4 are the best ones for music production, they have the most accurate response if anyone is wondering.
Specially the Eris E4.5, which are also the most expensive ones.
What about eris 3.5 ?
Ummmm...huh, where do I begin.
I'm really glad that people like you exist. You do a wonderful job for the community, and everyone is greatful. I just want to share some of my opinion and life experiences.
First of all, if you are a begginer, a freelancer with no head start what so ever, you are going to look up these monitors, they are cheap, but until you get the hang of the game and start earning from what you do, they will do just fine. If you already work on projects like movies, advertising, mixing, audio recording, effects recording and what so ever, if you earn from what you do, buy better quality sound speakers. Why? Because the difference is gigantic. Expecially from 150$ to 600$ monitors. When you pass the mark of 1000$ it is just a matter of opinion which is better. However, if you save 500$ you can get a lot better speakers then those that cost 150$. This is ONLY for people who allready MAKE MONEY FROM WHAT THEY DO. :)
For 400$ you can get a good pair of monitors like the Yamaha HS 5. I have them, for a monitor that costs 199$ each, they are magnificent. The difference is that you get a stronger speaker, 45W per speaker, you get a more "clean" and transparent sound, more detail. Not to mention that these speakers are often compared to the legendary NS10 because the Yamaha HS 5, and the whole HS series (HS 5, HS 7, HS 8) is very flat and dull. If you get your mix to sound warm, balanced and lively it will sound good on any speaker. I do my mixes on them, later test it in a car stereo system, home Hi-Fi systems, phone headphones, and some better quality studio monitors like Genelec, Adam, Focal, Event, GBL, Dynaudio and many more.
There is a good choice for that money, you don't have to buy Yamaha speakers. You can buy Krk monitors, small Adam monitors, maybe a small pair of Genelec monitors and many more.
The speaker is the end of your audio chain, it reproduces everything that you have done and it is wery important to have good qyality monitors. Not only monitors, If you record you need a good microphone, interface and monitors. Those are the main tools that you operate with. Music production, audio engineering is not a cheap profession. You need to be a good engineer, but to get a good sound that stand up to a bigger studio you need good equipment. Don't get me wrong, a good studio is nothing if the sound engineer is lacking skill, the point is that you need both.
Start small if you are a beginner, but if it pays off expand like a sponge soacking up water. Expand fast and big. Go bigger, don' t be cheap, in this business you get what you pay for, there is no lie. More money, better equipment.
Thanks again for the wonderful video Tom! Cheers youtubers. :)
P.S. Sorry if my English is bad. It's not my native language.
yep will remember this
moron
Man I love your big screen setup!!!
I have KRK Rokit RP10-3's. Large modular 3-ways - the mid driver & tweeter rotate - so you can configure horizontally as nearfields and then vertical as midfields (what the other guy called "the client speakers") so it gives them longevity. Once you mix on 3-ways you won't want to go back. You can hear so much more.
I used to have those and they were awesome! Then I switched to Barefoot. Never going back lol
Sold on the dual inputs. Computer connected to one, music from phone to the other.
Using a Matrox for video monitoring in my setup, I would have music streaming on the computer, but when I hit the space bar, music would stop, and the video application would take over.
Great review. It's hard to find videos of the MS40.
I'm currently updating and upgrading my workspace and need new monitor speakers. Great information here for speakers that are within my budget. Thank you!
I got Behringer Ms40 for Homestudio and I am very satisfied with sound.
oh dear.
Now that you've had them for a while what do you think? any cons? I've been considering them for a while now
@@banjostring9610 I've seen a few of your comments on hear so I wanna ask you. As a beginner with limited space that works on both music and film. Sense I'm on a budget I've been stuck between the MS40s, E4.5s and the HS5's. I need something with just enough low end for music production but bright enough for video.
I have behringer MS20 I use this monitors more than 8 years and very good sounds.
hey can those ms20 hook up 2 the presonus 2x2 interface ?
I am use internal pci m-audio audiophile 24/96 sound card, of course ms20 have all audio interface analogue RCA or digital coaxial or spdif conectors 24bits/192khz
ok thanks alot
Well they're shit, but not as bad as your english though
I’ve been looking for a video like this. Very professional and informative. Thank you.
Thanks for the review. I recently purchased the MS40 and i felt very disappointed with the quality of the woofers when a bass sound goes really loud and deep. The woofers don't produce very clear sounds, however, the twitter are awesome. I probably was asking for too much considering the price.
Thanks for the review on these headphones. The last ones are a must.
intresting video.
I ordered the mackie cr4. Did a lot of research, and picked those.
Whats remarkable is how audio seems to be EXTREMELY subjective.
For instance I read somewhere that if you need a reference monitor for recordings, then MS40 is quite uneven, lacks resolution and clarity on mid band and its treble has absolutely no resolution, and that same person recommended Audio technica av40 instead.
and I found a number of articles where the AV40 was not recommended for video editing.
in my confusion I picked the speakers that were the least criticized (according to my research anyway). anyway, I like your videos, except when you come off a bit smug (sorry, don't mean to hurt feelings, as I said I enjoy your videos). :)
Do you recommend the Mackie CR4? I want to buy them to produce music.
Hey just get up and go to a audio store, and test by yourself, nobody can say to your ear what are the best, because nobody have the same ears than you
Thanks - this was helpful in making a decision about monitors for a small home studio....
just in case its of any interest to anyone, the behringers are Roland Edirol ma 20d clones. the rolands are very good so of course these are too, however its a clone as in identical internals and drivers but the ports moved and cosmetics differ to make it not too obvious. Unfortunately the changes caused them not to perform as well as the proper Roland version, this was because the the tweeter was in the centre and the ports equally spacde below it on the rolands, the behringers have the tweeter moved to one side and the ports to the other, but the biggy is that for that to succeed both speakers would have had to be opposite orientation but as they are identical when you look straight at them it means that whatever way round they are one ear has bass ports closer and other ear has tweeter closer :) thats why pairs of speakers with offset uncentred designs have one of each orientation, i avoid saying left or right because they can still be used either way round but it just means the sound is distributed correctly/evenly either way round :)
I think there's a little bit more to this than just picking out the speakers but I guess it's a start. Honestly, just save up and buy powered speakers because passive ones require an amp and usually they color the sound. Also, don't mix through computer sound cards because they don't accurately reproduce the full frequency range, instead use an audio interface.
I'm in doubt, and I would like a suggestion ... Fluid C5 .. Mackie CR4 .. or Presonus Eris 4.5 ... All of them are in the same price range. My room is not a treated room. I will mix headphones, it would be my input monitor, to later invest in a Yamaha H5 or more ... Thanks!
I have a set of the 16 Watt Behringers. Good! I ordered the 40 watt set for my home studio. I am curious what other cables I would need a the moment I am using a 1/8th stereo plug which goes directly into my PC I am glad these were you best pick. The feature I like best about the 16 watt monitors are the Front Mounted Controls. Thanks for a great Review. .
I currently use the Behringer MS40 love these speakers as i work on a mac system with a digital audio i utilize the Digital from the speakers to the computer.
4:30. Youre welcome
MY GOD! WHY PPL TALK SO MUCH??? thanks dude
Some of us are mature, patient, and enjoy thorough information. Thats why so many people die from mixing pills because they never stopped to read, consider, and be thorough. Anyone who isnt lazy knows they can skip.
We are audio people after all. Better to have higher quality files that at any time can be dumbed down to 128kbps or lower(ughhh guess thats for folk like yall) than have everything permanently in 128kbps which cant be converted into something higher. Simple maturity of thought prefers options.
Hey man great video I just bought the behringher ms40's , and I have no idea how to set them up to my my laptop or audio interface , the box only come with the power cord and the cord that connects the 2 speakers together. How do I set these speakers up and what cords do I need thank you.
great video. I will be getting behringer now, useful if I upgrade my pc sound card. very good!
i just bought the ms40's yesterday... waiting for them right now
tibo How did you find them, looking at buying some myself?
Pixel_B well g, just a very big music shop... i guess they should be available like at any good music/multimedia store
tibo Sorry, I should have clarified. I meant ‘find’ as in did you think they were decent?
Guido from Italy. Good video thanks. Why exactly you preferr MS40 over Eris 4.5 ? for general manager music listening and some mix ? Second have you ever considered Eris 5 or the new 5xt for the same use ? I have untreated and untreateble small room and I listen music for 80%and small mix 20% for my personal use. What are your suggests ?
Actually I use an AKG 702 plus semipro headphone amp with RME BABYFACE PRO . Bye and thanks for your work.
I like I-Loud speakers. Sound great and they are out of the way
For nearfield monitor you should at least have a matched pair.You show 2 speakers with the tweeter mountet to one side.Both of them the same side to HA HA.so for nearfield monitoring what do you think happen to the sound stage?Do you have some insigth in sound,like speakers and amplification etc?
thank you for the clear explanation. good video!
already have the m-audio ones. great speakers.
+Stephen Schmidt Yes, they're nice and small yet produce great sound
+TomAntosFilms Yup! Good range, crisp sound and with some tweaking they put out nice bass.
well we know why your mixes sound like they do then...
I agree with what you mention, in many aspects, what I find difficult to understand, something I never understood about JBL, not in the most professional models of course, but they had a number of completely symmetric monitor models, the principle basic of the triangulation that you explain, or listen to near field in frontal form, depends absolutely on the distance that exists between the emitter and the receiver, in this case, speaker and ear, if the monitors are symmetrical, the reference is asymmetrical, or vice versa, in your first image you are mixing asymmetrically. (???) the high frequencies of your left side come later to your ear, than the ones on the right, due to the proximity effect ?, that is why the speakers with a diffusion are the coaxial ones, secondly the asymmetric ones, as if they were seen in a mirror, and in a very, very last place, the symmetrical ones, ah and to pray at the moment of hearing it in another place where there is no asymmetric reference.
ohh I forgot, please do not anyone think to buy the Behringer MS40, they are one of the worst monitors that have ever been done, they are not even close to a real reference nor in stereo panorama and much less in frequencies, ??? Tom Antos! you do not recommend those things to people!
Thanks for the video! I am looking for an affordable option for mixing and mastering at home. The Behringer is going to be the one I'm getting!
love them!
Did you enjoy them?
great video Tom
Thanks for the sound monitor test. The video monitor you show, is it a TV or what size and kiond of monitor?
Which would you prefer with the TRS 1/4" inputs? I'm trying to find the best bang for the buck using the 1/4" jack inputs. I just don't like the aux cable set up. Also i just purchased a focusrite 2i4 interface and the outputs for the monitors are 1/4". So I'm just trying to keep things simple using the 1/4" cables. Thanks and I enjoyed the video.
Hi, this is a nice review! Am still finding it difficult to decide between Presonus Ceres 3.5 BT, Behringer MS40 and Alesis Elevate 5.
Wondering if I can attach a Bluetooth adapter to Beringer or Alesis since that too is a priority. Could you please suggest?
Hello, I have a very small place for my control room where I do the mixes of the bands I work with. The place is about 2.3 meters long and 1.05 meters wide (3'6" wide and 7¨5" long). Do these speakers work for this type of place or do you think the Presonus Eris 3.5 would be better for that small place?
Only one thing to add: If room acoustics are shit, you might wanna go for a smaller woofer or invest in bass-traps. I have 8-inch woofers, Tapco S-8. In my previous home & room they sounded great, there was dampening from carpets, bed and non-concrete walls and ceiling! Now, I'm in a cube with tiles on the ground and concrete walls. There are low frequencies that are pronounced horribly by room reflections.
great video man,
Did you check out the JBL LSR305 as well? Many video editors are praising those.
I am actually looking for a pc monitor for editing. Which one are you using at the 12:26 mark? That one looks awesome.
+Christiaan Sugiono Those you see me using are the last set of monitors that I talk about at the end
+TomAntosFilms Ah yes, but I was referring to the computer monitor, or computer screen, not the monitor speakers. It's confusing to call them both monitors haha.
+Christiaan Sugiono The LSR305's are much better than the monitors reviewed here but they're also in a different price range. If you have the budget you definitely want to go with the JBL's but these are not bad for the money. I compose, record & mix music for films for a living (in an acoustically treated studio) and can recommend the LSR305's.
Good advice is invaluable advice.
i wonder why the Behringers arent symmetrical.....wouldnt it be better for balance if they mirrored each other rather than having everything on the same side of both speakers? Especially when these arent sold separately and are easily distinguishable via the controls on one speaker.
I like this guy ! Thank you for the info !
L-R Switch, Hmmm. I just connect the cable wrong if I want to move right to left etc.
What do you think of Edifier? I'm aware this video is 5 years old.
Nice video Tom more of these would be cool. you should do a black friday deals for film video or something
Good clarification on the fact they are Studio monitors, not normal speakers for normal usage.
they're not even for normal use. I'd hesitate playing a 16kbs mp3 through these
Do I have to get a subwoofer to go with these speakers or can I just use the speakers?? Also a digital interface? - I'm editing short documentaries - I'm new to this. Thanks so much!
@Lovelyjubly which ones?
@Lovelyjubly Ha. Thanks. But he's reviewing 4 different speakers. And none of them are the ms20's! Lol. But good to know. cheers
And still I don't know about needing a subwoofer ;-)
Great review! Thank you! :)
Hello Tony! :) I just got the Behringer Digital Monitor Speakers. Can you tell me what cord you use to hook up the computer to the speakers? Thank you!
i love ur studio Tom :-)
+Pawel Wojcik film studio It's not my studio... Im in the process of working out of a suitcase as I have work all over the world, so right now I just did this temp setup. Planning on getting a new place and nice setup next year
do You still recommend Behringer or are there now better speakers under 200usd? Not asking for professional use. Just gaming, movies and general use. There is now m-audio av42 a bit cheaper than this. I had mackie cr3 but they died...
The behringer montiors with pwm amp for bass section and class b a/b chip amp make loud hiss to.
Great video. BTW, what display is that you're using at 3:11?
Should I get the Mackie CR3 or the M-Audio AV32? I'm a noob when it comes to audio but I listen to all sorts of metal and play a lot of video games, I appreciate the responses.
get the mackies. i sold my av32 due to them not having a lot of mid-range
good review what speakers u recommend for listen to music from the computer i prefer loud and clean sound and clean base?
Behringer 50USB or Edifier MR4? THNKSS!!
behringer ms40 I think are the best monitors out of the all the monitors you showed (For people on a cheap budget)
that said you forgot to mention its greatest feature that none of the other monitors had.......
Front Bass Ports. :D
I might go for the behringers. They are great for small time home mixing and general music listening, right?!
how can you tell if a monitor is self powered? I'm extremely new to all of this... so basically I was told older monitors had to be run through an amp of some sort. Newer ones don't have this requirement do they? hope I'm making sense, cause I need to purchase a pair for my setup here soon and I don't wanna waste my money or waste my time and ship it back. I'm looking at a pair of 305P MkII right now, it says "powered" so this means self powered right? That's all sry if this is a dumb question.
what do you think the new nekst 6" Behringer speakers and subwoofers comparing to KRK Rocket 6" equivalent?
if your recording in 24bit/ 192khz is it necessary to have speakers with that frequency range for the actual play back during mixing?
thats sample depth not frequency response.
I had a pair ot that brad, very similar MS40...and they don't have detail, I must to sell them.
Also If You look at the Behringer Speakers the Tweeters are In the Wrong position Both are set to the Left. So Stereo Imaging Is going to be a Problem.
Hello World. Hi. On most Speakers, The Tweeter Is usually set In the Middle. But on Near Field Monitors You have the Tweeters Set As This. The Left Speaker has It to the Left and the Right to The Right. So They spread out the Top Rage for Better Imaging. If they are set as these are they give a Closed Image. If you look at the Other Speakers In this test they Have the Tweeters Set to the Middle. But the Behringer Speakers don't. they Have the Ports set to the Right and the Tweeters set to the Left as You look at them from the front. Now leave the Left one as It Is. But on the right one the Ports and Tweeter should be the Other way round IE: Ports to the Left Tweeter to the Right. Now do You get It. Pushing the Image farther out.
which monitor you are using in this video tom??
Please what do you have to tell me about Behringer USB 40
what should i get
2 rokits 1 gen 300$ or
2 mackie MR5 mk2s for 300$
+Cadiop Yamaha HS7/8, Tannoy 502/802, JBL LSR 305/8.
I prefare these and would tend to 8 inch subs if u wanna wanna hear very low ferq sounds and ur not an expert wit adding an additional subwoofer.
PMC or Genelec
Been mixing and mastering for 25 years, Yamaha ns-10's are the worst monitors for any music mixing! I would rather use a cheap presonus before those. I have used almost all monitors from pro to home. I currently have Genelec 1031's and JBL's. I have a small pair of presonus for very close listening. The best small pair I have heard recently are the neumans..expensive but very nice for a smaller room.
That's why there are the HS series. Much better monitors. Completely flat. Those JBL's sure do look nice but I haven't had a chance to sample them which also let to me ordering a pair of HS8's and will be receiving them on Tuesday. I'm coming from a pair of Rokit 5"s G2 and had them for the past 4 years now. Time to upgrade.
I learned to mix on a pair of Urei 809s. NS10s are great for introducing ear fatigue.
hueseph
The 10 is a sub. The 8's don't bother me. I've seen a lot of mixed reviews which also scared me at one point because I already ordered them at the time but I love my HS8's
NS10? Not a sub. HS10? Yes
hueseph
My bad. I read HS10. I never catch that when I'm reading it.
Hi!I want to buy MS40 to listen lossless music on pc on not great and a moderate level while sitting at the table directly instead of multimedia systems . Tell me it's a good idea or not ?
Reference monitors with the tweeters off to one side. Tjena 😝
The Symmetry of the tweets and bass port of the last behringer speakers are off!! at 8:07 and 9:54 bad choice!!!!`
you saw that also.The tweeters plasement he dont mention.
moron
As a beginner with limited space that works on both music and film. Sense I'm on a budget I've been stuck between the MS40s, E4.5s and the HS5's. I need something with just enough low end for music production but bright enough for video. My research keeps showing 50/50 reviews on the Behringer MS40 and presonus E4.5. does anybody have any experience with these?
The pair that I have recently started having an issue with the stereo circuit.. I tried with multiple devices and the left channel is much quieter than the right, and clips randomly.. Ive had them for about 2 years now and never had, or heard of this problem, any ideas to fix without buying a new pair?
That first set of speakers that let's you pick which one is L or R is ingenious!
Can I just plug my cd player in the aux and play tunes that way?
YUP!!
Hi Tom, would this work with video conferencing integrator sets like cisco and polycom?
I need advise about behringer USB 40
are studio monitors the best choice to play my synth in my room?? (it's a roland and I play mostly pianos , strings and synths)
+PilatomahawK :Hi,if you are a producer or if you would to know what you really play,i only can recommend studio monitorsfor you.
with this selection, you're better off with headphones.
Hey
Hs7 yamaha studio speakers, are they ok to connect to tv and listen to music
interesting that all of these stop way before they reach 50Hz and all have the slave style connection (one speaker getting sound from the other instead of having their own power). which is the best one for mixing jazz, classical, etc?
Spend a little more money. These budget monitors will be disappointing. $400 minimum for a decent pair of monitors. Or buy a used pair of HS5, HR824, Genelec. If jazz is your thing, don't scrimp. I found a pair of KRK mk2 R5 for $240 for the pair on Craigslist. A steal.
hueseph
thanks!
agreed stay away from any of these speakers, theyre all pretty terrible
don't buy any of these. Grab some high quality recordings (minimum of an original cd at true 44.1 at 16bit...not mp3!) go to a store and dem. Try some Yamaha HS 8s at a bare minimum. You could get some B&W from a hifi store, they're better than most "monitors" below £400.
@@Hue_Nery moron
Great video! Wish I could get the Behringers but they are too big and cant find any monitors I like in the right size. :/
Anyone know of a pair of speakers that are maximum height of 20cm? (I have a very small room and as such a very limited real estate and have to place the monitors on the desk beneath the monitors)
what is your second third and forth favorite was the speakers in a order or what
i dont see much people with these but im thinking of getting 1 but the ms20 i want 2know can i hook it up on a presonus 2x2 interface
So long as your monitors input is TRS or XLR balanced. I would stay away from any monitors that aren't self powered like the MS40's he has shown. You want each monitor to be self amplified. Even better, self bi amplified. A little secret would be to just buy yourself (if you aren't mixing professionally) a pair of Yamaha HS5's for 200 a piece brand new or get them cheaper used. You will never have to buy another pair of monitors again. If you are mixing professionally, then I would go with the HS8's. But the HS series are based off of the NS series from the 80's. It's a great investment.
RTFM
CR 4 are *70* hz at -3 decibal(Presonus and Berh. are likely the same?). That is horrific. However, it is much cheaper than the Yahmha HS5, which has similar specs.
I've actually been stuck between all three. The MS40s, E4.5s and the HS5's because I need something on a entry level budget with just enough low end for music production but bright enough to edit audio for video. If you had to choose between them would you still go with the HS5?
@@dc4068 The problem is everyone on RUclips is selling something, and the ones that aren't are professional music pros who buy outrageously expensive stuff.
I'm stuck using Klpisch multimedia 2.1 and want to upgrade but was so confused by the sheer madness of it all I gave up.
@@valueofnothing2487 Yea I hear you I'm getting to that point myself. I figured there was a reason why most of the budget speakers are only available online. Thanks for the feedback, Ill just have to save up and buy in a higher tier that I can actually go and test out somewhere. Hope you get a chance to upgrade bro
What can you say about the Edifier 1280T?
Hi,what about the M-Audio BX8 D3 speakers?
Can anyone recommend me a pair of studio monitors for mixing orchestral? I haven't owned a pair before and have been using standard logitech computer speakers for the past year and a half. I'm guessing anything advertised as 'Studio monitors' will be better than what I'm using now, but there's so many. I was looking at the JBL LSR305 since I've found a pair with stands for £210, but was wondering if there are any alternatives.
Thanks
Krk has a nice "big" sound that would be great for that. Particularly the rokit 6s. There are also the JBLs you mentioned or you could get a pair of m-audio bx5 d2s and a sub. Just beware because there are m-audio monitors called bx5 Carbon. They are different then the D2s and don't sound as good.
no no no no no! none of these for orchestral. Not even KRK. More scoops than an icream stand! Just buying a set of B&W hifi speakers is way better as a sart. The dramtaic dynamic and frequency range in classical is way beyond that of those in this vid and KRK "DJ" monitors
poor advice like this stated with a tone of "gospel" is the reason why people should actally learn about sound and what they're talking about before advising others.
what about speakers purely for getting an awesome sound and bass?
Is this comes up with the input interface?
Are the presonus any good?
ps.You only showed 3 kinds
A couple of questions:
1. Is there any advantage to using speakers instead of my Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones?
2. What kind of digital input do the last ones have? There are several mutually incompatible types. For example, I use Behringer UCA222 to get the sound from my computer via USB. It has an _optical_ output. Would that be compatible with those speakers?
Thanks.
+RustyTube Speakers sound more like what most of your audience will hear when listening to your mix. Also check ur mix on headphones to make sure it sounds good on those too. The Behringer have coaxial and optical digital inputs
+TomAntosFilms Thank you, Tom. I’ll check those speakers out.
Yes. The sonic soundscape. You DO NOT and WILL NOT EVER get a true representation of stereo fidelity in two "speakers" strapped to your head. Ear fatigue is dramtically increased. The dynamic range is different. so many reasons. cans for tracking or casual listening. Monitors for correct and propper audio work.
Hi, Tom, how about the KRK Rokit 10-3 speakers?
And what about the AKAI RPM3?
