Devialet Phantom Reactors vs something else that goes down low, behind an acoustic screen so the test is blind. I don't think they sound like lifestyle speakers. They sound like very clear, full range, balanced speakers. See if you can get the custom installer version without the app.
I would be happy if you review the smallest genelec 8010. I have in mind to have a mobile studio, and also be a little quiet so I don't make my neighbors on the appartment uncomfortable with the noise
I pulled the trigger and my SC3070s arrived today - I've had them up for less than 1 hour and all I can say is WOW..!!! The low end extension is utterly stunning (and this before adding treatment to my rearranged room). I'm listening to Beatles 1+ and hearing details I missed on a pair of DT1990's. Very early days, and Eve recommend 30-40 hours run in time in any case. These speakers are a joy to listen to. Thanks for the video Warren - very helpful.
@@thomashohlcomposermusician7488 Hi Thomas - sadly, I had to return my SC3070s as it transpired they were not 100% new when I got them (I suppose somebody had bought them and decided they didn't want them, and managed to put finger marks and a scratch on them). So, udifferentinformedimportant. I might get the SC207's as a second set of speakers.
Just bought a Headrush Gigboard. It is so much fun changing your virtual pedalboard all the time! Works with bass as guitar and will be ok with synth since it is designed for guitar the most part.
I would love to see a shootout between the Eve SC3070 with the Hedd Type 20mk2, Neumann KH310 and BareFoot FootPrint 02. Also the PSI A17 two monitors.
@Stephen Chow i dont recomend the hedds. 1st order had moisture damage, 2nd replacemnt order died a few months later, 3rd replacemet has alot of hiss. Iblikebthe a17s but feel like for what they are, 4500 is too much. Im just sticking to these hedds for now
Thanks Warren for this great introduction and review of the Eve SC3070s! I'm currently on Adam A7X's and love them, but I could definitely see some advantages to moving up to the Eve's. My Christmas list just got a bit longer! Cheers!
It's always difficult to hear from a recording of things like speakers, but I can hear that the treble is coming through really sweet. It's not got that overblown, dirtier sound that many others have. I'd imagine it's got great pacing of sounds.
Wow great review and comparison, tons of detailed and helpful information!!!! Even when you are doing a review you always manage to continue to bestow such useful knowledge on us!! Being a Eve user since 2015 I am incredibly excited about this model as being the correct direction for me to have something with a bunch more power than my Eve Sc204s. I love that you cited that you can achieve balancing those sub frequencies with no need for a sub woofer. I am such sucker ribbon tweeters!! I am so sold!!! 💜🔥🎶😂‼️ oh yes, and of course thanks so much for the shout out my friend.
You should def. compare them to the new HEDD MK2 TYPE 20, It´s the same look, similar tech, but different brand. Side by side comparison would be beautiful!
"The low end is massive!" I really enjoyed watching your struggle to get to grips with how big the low end is on those speakers! Really entertaining. Great video! 😊
Maybe it was just me, for sure the low end is massive but not in a good way to my ears. They are very muddy and boomy, for me they lack definition in low frequencies, Most probably in the room its different, but in the recording honestly and for the price....
Hi@@josearaujo8616 when did you get to use them? Or are you referring to the lapel mic picking up the speakers? Unfortunately that's not a very accurate representation. Did you watch the whole video? The EQ on the speakers can be adjusted to suit your needs, I was just remarking that they actually reproduce the lows!
@@Producelikeapro Thanks for the answer. I understand that not only your mic but my headphones will probably be more important for the quality of what I'm earing than the speakers so I would never judge a speaker from an youtube video sound, but I was referring to the comparison with the Focals and the Genelecs, so it could be the mic position that made them sound more muddy. I'm far from being an expert, but I understand that the size of the driver is of extreme importance in low frequencies, I also has a listener like clear defined low frequencies, I really don't like boomy muddy sound, so contrary to what most people do I tend to cut bass in small speakers, I don't like boosting and getting muddy sound, because that is what most active bluetooth/speaker brands. Anything bellow 55 on a 6 inch 50 on a 8 and even a 12 inch Morel sub will struggle bellow 50. Honestly for producing I would rather have single drive speakers and make the crossovers from the console, and even then have a high pass filter at 50 hz, I believe you could achive much better quality at a fraction of the cost of high end monitors. Single driver woofer and other for mid and you could even achieve much better speaker position than any speaker available.
@@Producelikeapro Regarding Equing.. well low frequencies response are steep on the low part, specialy in small drivers,yes you can adjust for all small steps in the frequencies, but the moment the sound level and volume change, you will have to do it all over again. There are also limitations on the mechanical part of the speaker who will easily bleed at low frequencies producing muddy boomy sound. I personally has a listener rather have a high pass at 50hz and improve the overall clarity and definition.. but to each his own. To counpound even more the problem, our ears frequency response is also very sensitive to sound levels at low frequencies, which makes you have to push more dbs in low frequencies for speakers who are not designed to do that to perceive a flat curve... Because I'm not a frequency range fanatic I just cut them and have the problem solved... saves me money also... the 4Khz dip, is my main problem, and the true acid test for speaker and driver quality IMHO..
Thanks for your Video. 1,5 years ago i was testing about 7 pairs of speakers. i owned EVE 207, i was happy but i missed something in the deeper midrange to locate guitar chords for ex. So i was testing: Gen 8040, Gen 1019A (kept them), Mayer sound Amie, EVE 307, Event Opal, Neumann 310 and finally HEDD type20 (which could be very similar to the EVE SC3070) . i am very happy with HEDD except that i have to use the lineariser plugin , which causes a lot of delay. So i would be interested if somebody has a comparism between HEDD type20 and EVE 3070. All the best to all the Studio guys here!
I can't believe you didn't play Queen through them... lol... Of course it's better to go to a store to hear and compare various speakers and not make any decisions based on what we hear through your lav mic. Thanks Warren!!!
Yup for long mixing/producing sessions I would chose ribbons over conventional tweeters any day. I have mixed on atc's,adam audio, dynaudio, quested, yamaha, focal, krk. and all of them besides adam ofcourse have this harsch top end compared to my sc208's . Owned a set of adam f7 in the past and they too had this lovely top end that never sounded piercing no matter how hard I pushed them. Is this the most accurate sound? Probably not but for anything else but mastering they're king imo.
Studio monitors are the last consideration of most musicians. Including me. That is SO wrong. I use KRK Rokit 5's because that was my budget. I've listened to EVERYTHING on these and I am beginning to 'know' their sound. However, they're never going to help me write a good song. That's my main focus. Thank you for a fantastic channel, Warren! \m/
A great pair of monitors will never help you write a good song. They will help you get a good balance of volume, eq and placement. Your Rokits' will inspire you to write, they have a nice (but 'false') sound, but get you into the groove :) I have the 8's and they are good fun to record and compose with. But for critical mixing, yea. Going to need to up the ante. I'm tempted to lash the cash on these EVEs'. Oh my god, there goes the bank balance :)
Ive had the SC3070s sat in my online basket (from a certain retailer) for over 4 weeks now, wanting to pull the trigger but hesitant because a) there were no proper reviews online and b) that certain retailer didn’t have a pair set up in the listening room and couldn’t arrange it due to Covid. Obviously your ears ain’t mine, but I think I have come to learn what you hear over the past couple of years, so tomorrow morning i going to bite the bullet and order them - obviously i get 30 days to trial - problem is, I’m in the middle of a complete studio refurb. But I don’t want to get stung waiting till after 31st December to buy these.... thanks for the very timely review. Ps can’t wait to play a certain track i recorded with Gerry Kitchingham at RG Jones back in the 90s through the EvEs to see if I can hear on them a specific sound that I swore I could hear through some JBL GS115s
@@MrPipmeister So, could You give some honest opinion about SC3070? My concern is that there is too much bass going on for 6.5 inch speaker and loss of midrange comparing to other speakers.
Currently have been using the ATH-M30X headphones as my main and then swap between various headphones, like I would with physical speakers. However, I've been looking to get a pair of speakers...probably the HS7's. I've listened to a headphone/speaker test playlist I use for this sort of thing, and based off those songs, I didn't feel like they were lacking anything. End of the day, videos like this are extremely helpful.
Depth of the cabinet does affect the longer waves of the bass end. I observed this by changing a speaker cabinet. It will also be a good driver with maybe some electronic crossover tweaks and circuitry. Good to hear they can do the bass. The LP6's have a very defined low bass cut off which I am very aware of now I have had them 6 months. Luckily I have two 15inch subs to check with. Bruce Swedien has passed away recently I hear. lol to him
Time for a bigger desk, Warren! - Great review - I really like the amount of flexibility & control that front knob gives you. - Having the dimensions be as deep [or deeper] as they are tall certainly makes for some yummy low end. - I’ll be sticking with my Kali IN-8s for a while, but it’s still great to hear what’s out there.
I have not had the opportunity to hear any Eve Speakers yet, so I am very interested in these. Will be a while before I can fund raise enough for these, but it seems like it would be worth the effort! Thanks for the review. Especially putting it up against your Focal's (as I have heard those before).
I'm a HUGE fan of the Kali LP6s. I have such a tiny spca I work in. They're fantastic. I also don't think I could swing $4K for a pair of monitors at the moment. Perhaps someday.
if you're happy with Kali, you might consider their coaxial 3-way IN-8's then? I got them (with WS-12 sub) and seriously they sound great in properly sized room :)
you should check out the new Hedd type 20 Mk2's. They give you the option of using them closed or open port, as well as some other innovative stuff! They seem very comparable to the eve's
If you like massive low end, I'd love to hear your review on the Barefoot mini stack, at the =/-3db they drop to 18Hz, but they use the =/- 1db for spec and they still drop way down to 25 Hz with 2200 watts of Hypex amps in sealed cabinets. I have yet to hear them reviewed.
About 1100$ per piece here in Belgium, and only the SC307 is available. Great sound, great price. I'll keep working for now with my powered Yamaha's & sub. My reference are B&W bookshelf with a passive sub on a class D amp. Sonarworks just pointed them out. What a difference. EDIT if you look around Eve is seriously invited in high-end studio's. But mostly the 4 way systems? Bigger brothers?
Warren owning an SSL myself, you should really look at a dedicated monitor controller and ditch the SSL 2-track return it's so colored. We moved to a Dangerous and it's a HUGE difference.
Hi Warren. Do you have any binaural mics? Would be awesome to hear what your room sounds like with all of your monitors. Thanks for the video. :) Sorry I haven't been engaging in the academy recently. Lots of audio stuff on the go (and a bit of S.A.D. too, which is probably not helping). Oh, and yo to answer the last question before you finished the video: I currently use Neumann KH 120 As as my main monitor and my old Event TR-8s as backup. Really impressed with the accuracy on the Neumanns. They're like glasses, but for ears!
Wow. Great speakers. I'd love to listen to them in my room. I like my Dynaudio BM5 MKIII a lot, and they sound good in my room, but this pair seems to be a different kind of animal :-) Thanks for sharing this video, Warren.
I got the Adams s3v a year ago but these look very nice too. Similar tech and almost the same company. Good to hear you kind of liked their mids and highs more than on those Focal beasts 😃🤟
@@Producelikeapro no doubt the Focals sound amazing. I just never got to hear them and went for the more affordable option. My room unfortunately, even with all the bass traps ‘eats’ some of the low frequencies and I guess without doing a complete rebuild there’s nothing I can do about it
PSB X2T with a small subwoofer for a tad more extension. Sonarworks at about 80% to retain some of their character. No mixing desk in the way. Not sure I could go back to monitors unless they were really special. Amazing value with sound better than the next-up B&W. Considering I bought them for mastering I've been pleased with the mixes I've done on them.
I wish they would make home theater versions because they amazing looking to me and come already with everything. I wonder if you could make them so they aren't just for near field use
Warren. I hope you mean they have awesome low-end extension. Massive low-end sounds like a bump in low frequencies. Funny, everything you are describing is why I wanted you to check out the V6S4s when I was at KRK. I'll be using mine till death. 😁
Hi Rich! I hope you’re well! Always best to watch the video my friend rather than judge it on the headline! Yes, they have a fantastic low end extension and if you watch the video you can see that the low end, mid and high end can be tailored for your room! I was simply remarking that they have a low of low end for a relatively small speaker! Also the high end is very nice and very detailed!
@@Producelikeapro hey I'm great. I'm back at James Tyler guitars as general manager. Of course I'm still mixing. I did watch a lot of the video. I'd love to come and hear him sometime. Yeah 5 years ago we put that ability into the V6. There's 35 different eqs for helping you tune your room. another reason I wanted to bring them by and let you check them out. Maybe I'll bring mine over just for fun.
@@Producelikeapro I started being real careful about talking about low end extension, because so many young engineers don't understand the difference between massive low end, and awesome low end extension. One thing that the Rokit G1 through G3 did was put a bump in the low end to win at guitar center. I refuse to do that on the V series and the new ROKIT G4. So I had to be really careful in the marketing, and to educate sales, on the difference.
Its not new but I've been wanting to see a good review on the Grove Hill Audio Liverpool compressor. I'd love to see you do one of your thorough reviews on that Mr. Huart!
They do look handsome!......Thinking about the big lowend you describe, you didn't mention if they're rear ported or not??. Being so deep I'm guessing the woofer magnet is BIG!. How many watts?. Would you say the ribbon tweeter is similar to the Adam's ??. I've always found those to be a bit too bright and glassy for me.
Warren, thank you sincerely for this amazing community, first off. Working engjneer/producer here in Seattle. If I might ask, what model Genelec’s are those that you’re referencing?? You’ve got that golden ear, just wondering what model Genny’s those are and if passive, what power amp? Maximum gratitude and thank you sir!!
I bought my KRK V8 S2's 15 years ago when they were discontinued. Got the last pair of displays off the shelf at the local guitar center. I will hopefully never have to buy another set of speakers. They're such a delight to mix on. They are really flat but give a little excitement in the mids; just really great speakers. They are somewhat unimpressive in the lows so maybe a sub one day.
I mixed on V8's for years, and when I listen back to my old mixes, they all seem dull because of that hyped upper mid range of the V8's. I switched to ADAM p33A's and started being able to mix for much longer sessions since they aren't nearly as fatiguing. The V8's will always hold a special place in my heart, but they can be really abrasive. I do miss that high mid boost when I'm trying to get really detailed with eq on electric guitars
@@lionaudio I think KRK always said they based these on the NS10s so it's no surprise to have the hyped upper mids. I have always liked it that way and work around it from a mix standpoint. I have the luxury of not having to mix full time and I reference a ton of music in this room so I know what it should sound like. I only take on projects that I really want to do and music that gets me excited so I don't really want perfectly flat speakers anyway.
@@JasonBuffin They are definitely reminiscent of NS10's. I'm in the same boat. i only do freelance mixing jobs when it's something I really want to work on. I mainly use my studio for recording my own projects.
What do you think about the SC208? I have a pretty good deal from someone and I wanted an upgrade from my Yamaha HS8 for a long time. Unfortunately I am not able to hear them yet because the person is not located in the same town with and I'm kinda relying on reviews and opinions. I managed to listen the SC207 and I was surprised with the low end, even questioned myself if it's not a little bit too much. I would really appreciate your opinion on the SC208. Thank you!
I run a pair of sc208's, damn, would be very interesting to compare low end of these both, since, 208 has super low end but an 8" woofer while 3070's have a 6,5 one
I think the topic is discussed since Tannoy came with a "sweeter" Version ob the ALTEC 604 principle... Since then engineers are discussing whether nice sounding comfortable HiFI-Monitors are really better for music production. Until now, some engineers swear on Auratones, Yamaha NS-10, KRK and Altec/Urei, while others prefer Quested or Genelecs or Ribbon HiFi. I personally was never glad mit the NS-10, but with Auratones as small monitors for Mixing. Since some years i use Quested mid size monitors and smaller EMES coaxial speakers that are pretty neutral in the midrange without phase shift. As big speakers i user either a 4-way ATM system, or a turbosound 3-way PA.
The back of these monitors give three different options: 1: max input: +7 dBu and +22 dBu 2: Filter 3: Volume: locked and/or Var. So, I imagine choosing the +22 dBu option, I’ll get them to be louder. What is the filter and Var.?
At 10:57 you seem to have some smaller 2-way monitors, to the right of the Genelec monitor. These might fit in the budget a little better. Though I'm a little concerned if the low end is sufficient enough? And do these need some sort of a special power cable? That might be a deal-breaker as it might be hard to find spare ones if I ever break one.
I just tried something with results that surprised me quite a bit. I hooked up an old pair of Fostex 6301B personal monitors that have been sitting around unused. I wanted to have a different perspective and they are now my 2nd pair of monitors. My main monitors are M-Audio BX8s, so even though I have spent a lot of money on gear it hasn't been on monitors. I know the sound of the M-Audios, but a nice pair of Genelics would be a good investment. I have mostly mixed with headphones over the years, but that brings a lot of ear fatigue and occasionally makes me have to wait a few days for my ears to clear up if I make aggressive compression mistakes. I already have decades of excessively loud rehearsals and gigs from the past working against me, so who knows what I am missing out on, but when I get the mix right, it is often from how the mix makes me feel as well as just listening to sound. The Fostex monitors are dirt cheap used and they obviously don't compare to the monitors in this video, but those little self powered speakers have a great low end and good presentation of what the music will sound like on car or other systems and it's really helped me to tweak some mixes and my own mastering to better results. What I hear on them is quite close to what it sounds like in my truck. It beats cutting the wall and bringing the truck inside. I can tell you that.
Just to clarify that I was jokingly talking about the miniature speakers (there are 2 microscopic speakers next to the right side Genelec), but the Kalis and other ones are surely great :)
@@efnerva664 Agreed. Once you know how what you hear from the monitors translates on other systems you are well on your way to a good mix. Once you develop the skills, you can still get the job done. I usually burn a CD and bring to different vehicles and I achieve consistency, but then focus on what specifically is in the way of what I want to have featured a bit more in a mix and adjust from there. Better monitors are of course "better" and would cut a few test CDs out of the procedure.
If I gave you the link to my song would you do a review and play it on some speakers for a video 🙏 I’d be curious to hear it in the setting it’s a bass heavy song with a cool transition into the chorus
Hey warren! Are you scared of what the Germans are building again on speakers I have the Adams s2v and it's really a big lowend weapon with a 7 "woofer and super softly defined heights! I had genelec 8040 with 2x sub 7350 before but they are just aggressive in sound against eve and Adam. The ribbon twitter made it out of such fine detail resolution .. And the low-end just massive punch! Small but nice! 😉 The inventor of Eve was once at Adam audio! 😉 I've been curious about the part since I saw the new eve 3070. Unfortunately it was not available for a year, so I decided on the Adam s2v. And I do not regret simply sensational monitor! 🥰 But the eve could still come as a 2 monitor pair in the studio. Have fun listening to track! 🙏🕺🥳
Those are not ribbon tweeters. Those are air motion transformers or AMT. The woofer and midrange look like Eton drivers and the AMT looks like it could be from Dayton. I built my own studio monitors with Seas titanium dome tweeters, Scan Speak fibreglass midrange drivers and two 8" Dayton drivers per side. They are flat, in room, down to 27 hz. It really surprised me how flat they actually were, since most of the time you will have a few dips and peaks. These are flat within 2 db across the whole spectrum. Distortion levels are well below 1% from 20k down to 31 hz at 95 db. Maybe I should start selling them, lol!
Hi Erik, Roland the Designer and co owner of Eve refers to them and RS2 'Ribbon System 2' Tweeters. He designed the ones in this model and all of the Eve range. Many thanks Warren
@@Producelikeapro well, I would love to know how they operate. Ribbons and AMT work differently and from the looks of them, they are not ribbon tweeters.
If you really want know what your mix sounds like. Mixdown with headphones. Lows and highs can fool you because of cabinet size. Honestly, it all boils down to each person's perspective. I found my level of bass happens to be too much for others lol. Controls asside, they are fantastic, but not to the tune of 2K! My preference is a vintage pair of Kenwood KL-777'S
Thanks Warren for this review! From what I could hear (of course not real valuable info), the EVE's sounded like a veil over them? The Genelec's and Focal's didn't have this, when you switched to either one of those the veil seems to be lifted. Did you noticed this?
Eve's were balanced mids and highs, Genelec's were louder aggressive highs because they had to compensate for the 8" bass speaker and no mid range. If you can afford 3-ways, always go for the best three ways to get a more balanced mix.
Nice but for the extra $1000 or so in Canada I think I"d stick to buying the Barefoot Footprint 1's with their dual ring radiator tweeters, besides having the tweeter on the bottom below the mid makes them easier to mount for me. But if you ever have a giveaway, I'm there!
What is the reason you have the maranz in de rack behinde you? Do you use it for Mixing? I also have O’Neill of These just for Listeneinstellungen music...
It would be cool if you could revisit the yamaha hs8 monitors and compare it with the kalis and the eves for the money. The HS8 is around 700 plus for the pair and they are 8 inchers by the way
so the proper approach for mixing gets a bit confusing to me.... going for speakers sound crap to bring up the problems, or speakers sound great but covering problems.... can't have both i guess if you can only have one set of speakers...or is there...???any suggestions would be great
He said the the Kali Audio HIGHLY recomended. Mine changed my life like I'm sure this new 2021 Bronco Sasquatch 7 Speed Manual Transmission will......But that Tesla CyberTruck moves it out the driveway see?. HE has BOTH! I love my Kali I8's they are FLAT!
on the eves, compared to the genelecs.. it sounds like the mids are scooped out... leaving a lot of low end and glassy high end.. .I think it might be very deceiving in mixing to go light on the low end when using the eves..... what do you think?
Very hard to find their prices. :/ I wonder if having really smooth, great sounding speakers may mean certain things don't get EQ'd that should. In other words, do they flatter the sound?
@@one2micreview846 Owned Eve's for 5 years. Here's the good and bad. They sound fantastic, the ribbons are just so satisfying and detailed, so far from normal tweeters that you won't want to go back... BUTTT (!) I don't know if I'd mix on them professionally, and definitely not alone. They don't sound like other speakers which is the good and bad part. I don't find myself getting fatigued at all. It is GREAT for long listening, recording and creative sessions... so sweet! But for mastering, I'd want a second pair of less beautiful and more scientific monitors (original Mackies or Genelecs, etc).
@@one2micreview846 No worries. The bottom-end depends on the model, but I'm sure they do a good job across all (check the +-3dB response). The difference is in the high mids and top end. They simply sound more real. If you get the chance to AB either Adam's or Eve's with non-ribbon monitors, do it. Take some acapella, string/cello music, as well as whatever you're into. It is simply night and day. Warm, crispy (but not harsh), real, 3D, wide sweet-spot, etc. I hope that the hifi industry also turns toward ribbons! Of course, for mastering, it's all about translation. So if you learn yr monitors well and how they translate, then any can work (ie: original NS10's).
The website says it can be used for home audio as well. If so what would be the good use for this speaker for home entertainment system, as a center speaker or left and right?
What other pieces of gear would you like us to review?
Yamaha Montage
Pro VLA II Compressor !
Devialet Phantom Reactors vs something else that goes down low, behind an acoustic screen so the test is blind.
I don't think they sound like lifestyle speakers. They sound like very clear, full range, balanced speakers.

It's always difficult to hear from a recording of things like speakers, but I can hear that the treble is coming through really sweet. It's not got that overblown, dirtier sound that many others have. I'd imagine it's got great pacing of sounds.
It's pretty much impossible to say anything other than that they have differences if you don't have objective measurements for comparison.

Being a Eve user since 2015 I am incredibly excited about this model as being the correct direction for me to have something with a bunch more power than my Eve Sc204s.
I love that you cited that you can achieve balancing those sub frequencies with no need for a sub woofer.
I am such sucker ribbon tweeters!!
I am so sold!!! 💜🔥🎶😂‼️
oh yes, and of course thanks so much for the shout out my friend.
Even with the video microphone I can tell there's a difference between the Speakers. Cool video
Thanks ever so much!!
You should def. compare them to the new HEDD MK2 TYPE 20, It´s the same look, similar tech, but different brand.
Side by side comparison would be beautiful!
I've been looking for info on these since Glenn is giving them away in his contest. Thanks for the video Warren!
"The low end is massive!" I really enjoyed watching your struggle to get to grips with how big the low end is on those speakers! Really entertaining. Great video! 😊
Haha Thanks ever so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Maybe it was just me, for sure the low end is massive but not in a good way to my ears. They are very muddy and boomy, for me they lack definition in low frequencies, Most probably in the room its different, but in the recording honestly and for the price....
Hi@@josearaujo8616 when did you get to use them? Or are you referring to the lapel mic picking up the speakers? Unfortunately that's not a very accurate representation. Did you watch the whole video? The EQ on the speakers can be adjusted to suit your needs, I was just remarking that they actually reproduce the lows!
@@Producelikeapro Thanks for the answer. I understand that not only your mic but my headphones will probably be more important for the quality of what I'm earing than the speakers so I would never judge a speaker from an youtube video sound, but I was referring to the comparison with the Focals and the Genelecs, so it could be the mic position that made them sound more muddy.
I'm far from being an expert, but I understand that the size of the driver is of extreme importance in low frequencies, I also has a listener like clear defined low frequencies, I really don't like boomy muddy sound, so contrary to what most people do I tend to cut bass in small speakers, I don't like boosting and getting muddy sound, because that is what most active bluetooth/speaker brands. Anything bellow 55 on a 6 inch 50 on a 8 and even a 12 inch Morel sub will struggle bellow 50.
Honestly for producing I would rather have single drive speakers and make the crossovers from the console, and even then have a high pass filter at 50 hz, I believe you could achive much better quality at a fraction of the cost of high end monitors. Single driver woofer and other for mid and you could even achieve much better speaker position than any speaker available.
@@Producelikeapro Regarding Equing.. well low frequencies response are steep on the low part, specialy in small drivers,yes you can adjust for all small steps in the frequencies, but the moment the sound level and volume change, you will have to do it all over again. There are also limitations on the mechanical part of the speaker who will easily bleed at low frequencies producing muddy boomy sound. I personally has a listener rather have a high pass at 50hz and improve the overall clarity and definition.. but to each his own. To counpound even more the problem, our ears frequency response is also very sensitive to sound levels at low frequencies, which makes you have to push more dbs in low frequencies for speakers who are not designed to do that to perceive a flat curve...
Because I'm not a frequency range fanatic I just cut them and have the problem solved... saves me money also... the 4Khz dip, is my main problem, and the true acid test for speaker and driver quality IMHO..
Thanks for your Video. 1,5 years ago i was testing about 7 pairs of speakers. i owned EVE 207, i was happy but i missed something in the deeper midrange to locate guitar chords for ex. So i was testing: Gen 8040, Gen 1019A (kept them), Mayer sound Amie, EVE 307, Event Opal, Neumann 310 and finally HEDD type20 (which could be very similar to the EVE SC3070) . i am very happy with HEDD except that i have to use the lineariser plugin , which causes a lot of delay. So i would be interested if somebody has a comparism between HEDD type20 and EVE 3070. All the best to all the Studio guys here!
I didn't see Ross under the SSL! Just proves that Eric IS Ross! :-)
I looked! I think he’s in the machine room! Haha
Aha! So Errrrriiiicccccccck is Ross? Haha
Rossssss = Ericccccc; until they’re seen together, no one can assume otherwise.
I can't believe you didn't play Queen through them... lol... Of course it's better to go to a store to hear and compare various speakers and not make any decisions based on what we hear through your lav mic. Thanks Warren!!!
Yup for long mixing/producing sessions I would chose ribbons over conventional tweeters any day. I have mixed on atc's,adam audio, dynaudio, quested, yamaha, focal, krk. and all of them besides adam ofcourse have this harsch top end compared to my sc208's . Owned a set of adam f7 in the past and they too had this lovely top end that never sounded piercing no matter how hard I pushed them. Is this the most accurate sound? Probably not but for anything else but mastering they're king imo.
Great design!.. perfect for both Home and Pro Studios... I look forward to hearing these myself! Great review-
Hi Carlo! Glad you like them! Thanks ever so much
Studio monitors are the last consideration of most musicians. Including me. That is SO wrong. I use KRK Rokit 5's because that was my budget.
I've listened to EVERYTHING on these and I am beginning to 'know' their sound.
However, they're never going to help me write a good song. That's my main focus.
Thank you for a fantastic channel, Warren! \m/
A great pair of monitors will never help you write a good song. They will help you get a good balance of volume, eq and placement. Your Rokits' will inspire you to write, they have a nice (but 'false') sound, but get you into the groove :) I have the 8's and they are good fun to record and compose with. But for critical mixing, yea. Going to need to up the ante. I'm tempted to lash the cash on these EVEs'. Oh my god, there goes the bank balance :)
Thanks ever so much Mark for your great comment!
Thanks ever so much Steve!!
Ive had the SC3070s sat in my online basket (from a certain retailer) for over 4 weeks now, wanting to pull the trigger but hesitant because a) there were no proper reviews online and b) that certain retailer didn’t have a pair set up in the listening room and couldn’t arrange it due to Covid.
Obviously your ears ain’t mine, but I think I have come to learn what you hear over the past couple of years, so tomorrow morning i going to bite the bullet and order them - obviously i get 30 days to trial - problem is, I’m in the middle of a complete studio refurb. But I don’t want to get stung waiting till after 31st December to buy these.... thanks for the very timely review.
Ps can’t wait to play a certain track i recorded with Gerry Kitchingham at RG Jones back in the 90s through the EvEs to see if I can hear on them a specific sound that I swore I could hear through some JBL GS115s
Great! Let us know how you get on!
@@Producelikeapro will do
@@MrPipmeister So, could You give some honest opinion about SC3070? My concern is that there is too much bass going on for 6.5 inch speaker and loss of midrange comparing to other speakers.
Could be my next upgrade for my home project studio. Cheers
Always a great and detailed showcase of what to learn! Cheers!
Thanks ever so much!
@@Producelikeapro My pleasure!
Currently have been using the ATH-M30X headphones as my main and then swap between various headphones, like I would with physical speakers. However, I've been looking to get a pair of speakers...probably the HS7's. I've listened to a headphone/speaker test playlist I use for this sort of thing, and based off those songs, I didn't feel like they were lacking anything. End of the day, videos like this are extremely helpful.
Depth of the cabinet does affect the longer waves of the bass end. I observed this by changing a speaker cabinet. It will also be a good driver with maybe some electronic crossover tweaks and circuitry. Good to hear they can do the bass. The LP6's have a very defined low bass cut off which I am very aware of now I have had them 6 months. Luckily I have two 15inch subs to check with. Bruce Swedien has passed away recently I hear. lol to him
Time for a bigger desk, Warren!
- Great review - I really like the amount of flexibility & control that front knob gives you.
- Having the dimensions be as deep [or deeper] as they are tall certainly makes for some yummy low end.
- I’ll be sticking with my Kali IN-8s for a while, but it’s still great to hear what’s out there.
I have not had the opportunity to hear any Eve Speakers yet, so I am very interested in these. Will be a while before I can fund raise enough for these, but it seems like it would be worth the effort! Thanks for the review. Especially putting it up against your Focal's (as I have heard those before).
For that $, I'd strongly consider those for home audio. Gotta hear then some time, actives are the future.
I'm a HUGE fan of the Kali LP6s. I have such a tiny spca I work in. They're fantastic. I also don't think I could swing $4K for a pair of monitors at the moment. Perhaps someday.
Thanks ever so much Bobby! Yes, I live the Kali speakers!!
if you're happy with Kali, you might consider their coaxial 3-way IN-8's then? I got them (with WS-12 sub) and seriously they sound great in properly sized room :)
It's interesting how even on a youtube video you can hear that those EVE's have a stronger low end. :D
That’s amazing to hear!!
you should check out the new Hedd type 20 Mk2's. They give you the option of using them closed or open port, as well as some other innovative stuff! They seem very comparable to the eve's
I had to send them back because the amount of low-end. I prefere speakers more balanced 😅
But they looks soooo good.
If you like massive low end, I'd love to hear your review on the Barefoot mini stack, at the =/-3db they drop to 18Hz, but they use the =/- 1db for spec and they still drop way down to 25 Hz with 2200 watts of Hypex amps in sealed cabinets. I have yet to hear them reviewed.
About 1100$ per piece here in Belgium, and only the SC307 is available. Great sound, great price. I'll keep working for now with my powered Yamaha's & sub. My reference are B&W bookshelf with a passive sub on a class D amp. Sonarworks just pointed them out. What a difference. EDIT if you look around Eve is seriously invited in high-end studio's. But mostly the 4 way systems? Bigger brothers?
Warren owning an SSL myself, you should really look at a dedicated monitor controller and ditch the SSL 2-track return it's so colored. We moved to a Dangerous and it's a HUGE difference.
Love the bed head Warren!
Hi Warren. Do you have any binaural mics? Would be awesome to hear what your room sounds like with all of your monitors. Thanks for the video. :) Sorry I haven't been engaging in the academy recently. Lots of audio stuff on the go (and a bit of S.A.D. too, which is probably not helping).
Oh, and yo to answer the last question before you finished the video: I currently use Neumann KH 120 As as my main monitor and my old Event TR-8s as backup. Really impressed with the accuracy on the Neumanns. They're like glasses, but for ears!
Wow. Great speakers. I'd love to listen to them in my room. I like my Dynaudio BM5 MKIII a lot, and they sound good in my room, but this pair seems to be a different kind of animal :-)
Thanks for sharing this video, Warren.
I got the Adams s3v a year ago but these look very nice too. Similar tech and almost the same company. Good to hear you kind of liked their mids and highs more than on those Focal beasts 😃🤟
Haha I do love my Focals!! They are the ultimately for blowing people away!!
@@Producelikeapro no doubt the Focals sound amazing. I just never got to hear them and went for the more affordable option. My room unfortunately, even with all the bass traps ‘eats’ some of the low frequencies and I guess without doing a complete rebuild there’s nothing I can do about it
have the eve ts107 sub here: amazing design and concept, great company you can trust
PSB X2T with a small subwoofer for a tad more extension. Sonarworks at about 80% to retain some of their character. No mixing desk in the way. Not sure I could go back to monitors unless they were really special. Amazing value with sound better than the next-up B&W. Considering I bought them for mastering I've been pleased with the mixes I've done on them.
I wish they would make home theater versions because they amazing looking to me and come already with everything. I wonder if you could make them so they aren't just for near field use
Thanks for the video, good luck ✌🏻
Price point Warren Please? Sounds timing wise just what might fit my needs! Thanks so much!
"Hi, I'm a RUclipsr with a half-million subscribers and some serious studio credits... could I trouble you to send me a pair? Splendid."
haha still a humble Producer and Engineer! Figuring out how I can keep them! So many people asked about them that I had to try them!
Hi Warren, what were the Kali’s you referred to?
Warren. I hope you mean they have awesome low-end extension. Massive low-end sounds like a bump in low frequencies. Funny, everything you are describing is why I wanted you to check out the V6S4s when I was at KRK. I'll be using mine till death. 😁
Hi Rich! I hope you’re well! Always best to watch the video my friend rather than judge it on the headline! Yes, they have a fantastic low end extension and if you watch the video you can see that the low end, mid and high end can be tailored for your room! I was simply remarking that they have a low of low end for a relatively small speaker! Also the high end is very nice and very detailed!
@@Producelikeapro hey I'm great. I'm back at James Tyler guitars as general manager. Of course I'm still mixing. I did watch a lot of the video. I'd love to come and hear him sometime.
Yeah 5 years ago we put that ability into the V6. There's 35 different eqs for helping you tune your room. another reason I wanted to bring them by and let you check them out. Maybe I'll bring mine over just for fun.
@@Producelikeapro I started being real careful about talking about low end extension, because so many young engineers don't understand the difference between massive low end, and awesome low end extension. One thing that the Rokit G1 through G3 did was put a bump in the low end to win at guitar center. I refuse to do that on the V series and the new ROKIT G4. So I had to be really careful in the marketing, and to educate sales, on the difference.
Its not new but I've been wanting to see a good review on the Grove Hill Audio Liverpool compressor. I'd love to see you do one of your thorough reviews on that Mr. Huart!
They do look handsome!......Thinking about the big lowend you describe, you didn't mention if they're rear ported or not??. Being so deep I'm guessing the woofer magnet is BIG!. How many watts?. Would you say the ribbon tweeter is similar to the Adam's ??. I've always found those to be a bit too bright and glassy for me.
Warren, thank you sincerely for this amazing community, first off. Working engjneer/producer here in Seattle. If I might ask, what model Genelec’s are those that you’re referencing?? You’ve got that golden ear, just wondering what model Genny’s those are and if passive, what power amp? Maximum gratitude and thank you sir!!
From your description, sound great. Tempted :)
Thanks ever so much Steve!
I was wondering about those tweeters inside, thanks for specifying! BTW, what's the reason for that placement? Great stuff, thanks as always bud 💪
try raising the gain on the eve audio (and any other active speakers) so you don't have to adjust it every time you change speakers
I bought my KRK V8 S2's 15 years ago when they were discontinued. Got the last pair of displays off the shelf at the local guitar center. I will hopefully never have to buy another set of speakers. They're such a delight to mix on. They are really flat but give a little excitement in the mids; just really great speakers. They are somewhat unimpressive in the lows so maybe a sub one day.
I mixed on V8's for years, and when I listen back to my old mixes, they all seem dull because of that hyped upper mid range of the V8's. I switched to ADAM p33A's and started being able to mix for much longer sessions since they aren't nearly as fatiguing. The V8's will always hold a special place in my heart, but they can be really abrasive. I do miss that high mid boost when I'm trying to get really detailed with eq on electric guitars
@@lionaudio I think KRK always said they based these on the NS10s so it's no surprise to have the hyped upper mids. I have always liked it that way and work around it from a mix standpoint. I have the luxury of not having to mix full time and I reference a ton of music in this room so I know what it should sound like. I only take on projects that I really want to do and music that gets me excited so I don't really want perfectly flat speakers anyway.
@@JasonBuffin They are definitely reminiscent of NS10's. I'm in the same boat. i only do freelance mixing jobs when it's something I really want to work on. I mainly use my studio for recording my own projects.
You need the speaker bracket from Vintage showroom, if I remember rightly you would still have room for another pair, ATC’s maybe......
Haha more to come! I love speakers!
What do you think about the SC208? I have a pretty good deal from someone and I wanted an upgrade from my Yamaha HS8 for a long time. Unfortunately I am not able to hear them yet because the person is not located in the same town with and I'm kinda relying on reviews and opinions. I managed to listen the SC207 and I was surprised with the low end, even questioned myself if it's not a little bit too much.
I would really appreciate your opinion on the SC208. Thank you!
I run a pair of sc208's, damn, would be very interesting to compare low end of these both, since, 208 has super low end but an 8" woofer while 3070's have a 6,5 one
Thanks ever so much Arion!
Same with barefoot footprint 01 and 02
Thanks again Warren!
You’re very welcome!!
I think the topic is discussed since Tannoy came with a "sweeter" Version ob the ALTEC 604 principle... Since then engineers are discussing whether nice sounding comfortable HiFI-Monitors are really better for music production. Until now, some engineers swear on Auratones, Yamaha NS-10, KRK and Altec/Urei, while others prefer Quested or Genelecs or Ribbon HiFi. I personally was never glad mit the NS-10, but with Auratones as small monitors for Mixing. Since some years i use Quested mid size monitors and smaller EMES coaxial speakers that are pretty neutral in the midrange without phase shift. As big speakers i user either a 4-way ATM system, or a turbosound 3-way PA.
Hi! Thanks for doing that. Which Genelecs are these? Are these the 1031 or 1032? Many thanks in advance!
The back of these monitors give three different options:
1: max input: +7 dBu and +22 dBu
2: Filter
3: Volume: locked and/or Var.
So, I imagine choosing the +22 dBu option, I’ll get them to be louder. What is the filter and Var.?
what are you using for an amp for you monitors?
Hi Brian, these speakers are self powered!
Warren, may I ask: why haven't you kept these in your studio? Haven't been able to spot them in your recent videos.
Firstly I rotate speakers so I can test them all for everyone here and secondly I’m building another studio and they will be there!
At 10:57 you seem to have some smaller 2-way monitors, to the right of the Genelec monitor. These might fit in the budget a little better. Though I'm a little concerned if the low end is sufficient enough? And do these need some sort of a special power cable? That might be a deal-breaker as it might be hard to find spare ones if I ever break one.
I just tried something with results that surprised me quite a bit. I hooked up an old pair of Fostex 6301B personal monitors that have been sitting around unused. I wanted to have a different perspective and they are now my 2nd pair of monitors. My main monitors are M-Audio BX8s, so even though I have spent a lot of money on gear it hasn't been on monitors. I know the sound of the M-Audios, but a nice pair of Genelics would be a good investment. I have mostly mixed with headphones over the years, but that brings a lot of ear fatigue and occasionally makes me have to wait a few days for my ears to clear up if I make aggressive compression mistakes. I already have decades of excessively loud rehearsals and gigs from the past working against me, so who knows what I am missing out on, but when I get the mix right, it is often from how the mix makes me feel as well as just listening to sound. The Fostex monitors are dirt cheap used and they obviously don't compare to the monitors in this video, but those little self powered speakers have a great low end and good presentation of what the music will sound like on car or other systems and it's really helped me to tweak some mixes and my own mastering to better results. What I hear on them is quite close to what it sounds like in my truck. It beats cutting the wall and bringing the truck inside. I can tell you that.
Hi Ef, yes! They are the Kali LP-6's which I love! I had to take them down to use these!
Just to clarify that I was jokingly talking about the miniature speakers (there are 2 microscopic speakers next to the right side Genelec), but the Kalis and other ones are surely great :)
@@AnAmericanGuitarist Monitors that you know well are always valuable even if they aren't the top of the line
@@efnerva664 Agreed. Once you know how what you hear from the monitors translates on other systems you are well on your way to a good mix. Once you develop the skills, you can still get the job done. I usually burn a CD and bring to different vehicles and I achieve consistency, but then focus on what specifically is in the way of what I want to have featured a bit more in a mix and adjust from there.
Better monitors are of course "better" and would cut a few test CDs out of the procedure.
If I gave you the link to my song would you do a review and play it on some speakers for a video 🙏 I’d be curious to hear it in the setting it’s a bass heavy song with a cool transition into the chorus
Hey warren!
Are you scared of what the Germans are building again on speakers
I have the Adams s2v and it's really a big lowend weapon with a 7 "woofer and super softly defined heights!
I had genelec 8040 with 2x sub 7350 before but they are just aggressive in sound against eve and Adam.
The ribbon twitter made it out of such fine detail resolution ..
And the low-end just massive punch! Small but nice! 😉
The inventor of Eve was once at Adam audio! 😉
I've been curious about the part since I saw the new eve 3070.
Unfortunately it was not available for a year, so I decided on the Adam s2v. And I do not regret simply sensational monitor! 🥰
But the eve could still come as a 2 monitor pair in the studio.
Have fun listening to track! 🙏🕺🥳
Hey producer like a pro! do you prefer these over the sc307 ?
The Eves are superb!!!
Thanks ever so much Frank!
Those are not ribbon tweeters. Those are air motion transformers or AMT.
The woofer and midrange look like Eton drivers and the AMT looks like it could be from Dayton.
I built my own studio monitors with Seas titanium dome tweeters, Scan Speak fibreglass midrange drivers and two 8" Dayton drivers per side. They are flat, in room, down to 27 hz. It really surprised me how flat they actually were, since most of the time you will have a few dips and peaks. These are flat within 2 db across the whole spectrum. Distortion levels are well below 1% from 20k down to 31 hz at 95 db. Maybe I should start selling them, lol!
Hi Erik, Roland the Designer and co owner of Eve refers to them and RS2 'Ribbon System 2' Tweeters. He designed the ones in this model and all of the Eve range. Many thanks Warren
@@Producelikeapro well, I would love to know how they operate. Ribbons and AMT work differently and from the looks of them, they are not ribbon tweeters.
If you really want know what your mix sounds like. Mixdown with headphones. Lows and highs can fool you because of cabinet size. Honestly, it all boils down to each person's perspective. I found my level of bass happens to be too much for others lol. Controls asside, they are fantastic, but not to the tune of 2K!
My preference is a vintage pair of Kenwood KL-777'S
So how do these compare to Focal Shape Twin speakers, which cost HALF and also produce lots of low end due to their passive radiators?
Thanks Warren for this review! From what I could hear (of course not real valuable info), the EVE's sounded like a veil over them? The Genelec's and Focal's didn't have this, when you switched to either one of those the veil seems to be lifted. Did you noticed this?
Eve's were balanced mids and highs, Genelec's were louder aggressive highs because they had to compensate for the 8" bass speaker and no mid range. If you can afford 3-ways, always go for the best three ways to get a more balanced mix.
it seems that you liked them very much! i would love to see the neumann kh310 too! have you tried them? if yes, how do they compare with the eve's?
Wonder how this eves compare to Hedd audio type 20?
EVE Audio if you can send me a pair please to review I would very much appreciate it
Thanks for these. What is the video audio of speakers recorded on ? The camera?
Nice but for the extra $1000 or so in Canada I think I"d stick to buying the Barefoot Footprint 1's with their dual ring radiator tweeters, besides having the tweeter on the bottom below the mid makes them easier to mount for me. But if you ever have a giveaway, I'm there!
Warren what would you say, Eve SC3070 or Genelec 8331/41? Thanks man!
I wish I could afford those speakers to produce music
I recommend Adam T7V, they are the best for the buck.
What is the reason you have the maranz in de rack behinde you? Do you use it for Mixing? I also have O’Neill of These just for Listeneinstellungen music...
I've been considering a pair of these or the Genelec 8330A speakers with a sub and GLM kit. Tough decision! - chaz
Thanks ever so much Chaz!
Thanks ever so much Chaz!
Warren, you need to try the new Tannoy Gold series! Brilliant speakers for the money!
Hi Andrei, yes, I'm excited to try them!
It would be cool if you could revisit the yamaha hs8 monitors and compare it with the kalis and the eves for the money. The HS8 is around 700 plus for the pair and they are 8 inchers by the way
what size speaker is on the EVE's
so the proper approach for mixing gets a bit confusing to me.... going for speakers sound crap to bring up the problems, or speakers sound great but covering problems.... can't have both i guess if you can only have one set of speakers...or is there...???any suggestions would be great
He said the the Kali Audio HIGHLY recomended. Mine changed my life like I'm sure this new 2021 Bronco Sasquatch 7 Speed Manual Transmission will......But that Tesla CyberTruck moves it out the driveway see?. HE has BOTH! I love my Kali I8's they are FLAT!
It’s not a fair comparison the Genelecs are bigger speakers. The little Eves are tighter in bass and are real good . Price difference???
Love them both!!
I’m almost disappointed when you switched to the Gens. I was like the Gens sound like the mids are in a traffic jam.
I think my mixes still tend to be harsh in the 3k area, so I feel like I need some harsh monitors to help me keep that in check. Your thoughts?
Hi Clay, I would definitely check your room and also try Sonarworks to see how drastic the speakers are sounding in your room.
go with genelec 8030 or hs5 (for less money) and not soft monitors like neumann, focal or kali
on the eves, compared to the genelecs.. it sounds like the mids are scooped out... leaving a lot of low end and glassy high end.. .I think it might be very deceiving in mixing to go light on the low end when using the eves..... what do you think?
Adams P22A for a long long time already.
Genelec 1000 series or EVE Audio SC3070?
Would the eves be good for hip hop and r&b
Avoid Eve Audio .... Lost my time and money .
Good to know.
Thanks ever so much Audrey!
Very hard to find their prices. :/ I wonder if having really smooth, great sounding speakers may mean certain things don't get EQ'd that should. In other words, do they flatter the sound?
@Produce like a pro.
Question is.... if you do a mix on the Eve’s.... how does it translate? Are there frequencies that are poorly represented?
And after running in....?
And how 3d do the ribbon tweeters perform?
@@one2micreview846 Owned Eve's for 5 years. Here's the good and bad. They sound fantastic, the ribbons are just so satisfying and detailed, so far from normal tweeters that you won't want to go back... BUTTT (!) I don't know if I'd mix on them professionally, and definitely not alone. They don't sound like other speakers which is the good and bad part. I don't find myself getting fatigued at all. It is GREAT for long listening, recording and creative sessions... so sweet! But for mastering, I'd want a second pair of less beautiful and more scientific monitors (original Mackies or Genelecs, etc).
No Origin thank you. Very helpful. What area do you find is exposed. Bass midrange or top end?
@@one2micreview846 No worries. The bottom-end depends on the model, but I'm sure they do a good job across all (check the +-3dB response). The difference is in the high mids and top end. They simply sound more real. If you get the chance to AB either Adam's or Eve's with non-ribbon monitors, do it. Take some acapella, string/cello music, as well as whatever you're into. It is simply night and day. Warm, crispy (but not harsh), real, 3D, wide sweet-spot, etc. I hope that the hifi industry also turns toward ribbons! Of course, for mastering, it's all about translation. So if you learn yr monitors well and how they translate, then any can work (ie: original NS10's).
The website says it can be used for home audio as well. If so what would be the good use for this speaker for home entertainment system, as a center speaker or left and right?
