Major upgrade at Casa Voltronic. New studio monitors arrived today, replacing a very old set.

The difference is not at all subtle, moreso than the cabinet size would indicate. WOW. I've been missing out on so much, and mixing at a severe disadvantage. Not anymore.

Kali IN-5. Highly recommended.

@voltronic If they sound half a sexy as they look I can see you spending a LOT of time with them 😍

@BillyBones
The looks are pretty utilitarian, but watch the video in the review I linked. You'll see a lot of thought went into their design.

Next step is to take a panel of measurements and apply room correcting EQ, but that's for another day.

For now, I had to remove that grip clamp on the left side of the desk. Pipe organ music is making a loose sleeve bearing in it rattle like hell!

@BillyBones
Well the measurements and room correcting EQ just happened.

DAMN. Now we're rocking over here. Hot For Teacher and Know Your Enemy have never hit this cleanly.

@voltronic 😍 What's sad is that there's no way for any of us to share in this (short of buying a pair).

But it's nice to experience them vicariously. Hope they bring a lot of happiness and productivity 🔊

@BillyBones
Well there may be, sort of. A couple weeks ago I posted my classical and pop/rock sample track compilation tracks.

After measuring and correcting my old KRK monitors, I set up a pair of DPA 4011A at the listening position and recorded the tracks both with and without correction.

Later this week I'll do the same with the Kali's. The music sharing site I'm using now (samply.app) let's you do A/B comparisons on the fly.
