[Cupe]

job gets done

[eggssell]

cupe i think that comment was about headphones

[pulsebeat]

Yeah it was

but his idea was right

it gets tthe job done so no complaining

[fackedd]

whatever you do dont buy cheap headphones, i guess it's not a big deal for mobile dj's, but for playing out its pretty important that you've got quality.

sennheiser, xone, AKG or pioneer headphones imo.

Id reccomend AKG k81. They were my first pair of headphones. really bassy. And I would compare them to HD 25's. only $100 too.

I'm, also selling a pair for like $50

I got these for 400 from jb hifi, perfect for your first bedroom speakers.

why krk's there are better monitors for the same price out there

[JonnyB]

as far as production goes they are the best for your money. i remember a poll that was posted on pottymouth music and all the top producers like calvertron, hijack, tom eq all swore by KRK's

[Lurk6r]

So what is the difference between monitors and these

I've got the rokit 8's too..Awsome pair..crisp clear sound ouput...

I have had some problems with them. I think I got the 2 duds. But StoreDJ took car of it..

Defs Rate them

I do run a Sony stereo too. Stereo gives me loudness and rokits give me crispness

rokits

depends if you want them for practicing or playing out. but for small parties, even a good set of monitors can get the party going

[street]

wait so let me get this straight, monitors are designed more for production as they kinda highlight the flaws in the sound whereas speakers do the opposite, but monitors still do a good job if you are just playing at home or parties or whatever.

[awesome88]

from what i understand, monitors will give you a higher quality sound, but obviously won't go as lound as some big 15''ers or have as much bass.

i've done small parties of about 20-25 people, with one of the rooms set up as the party/club room and they go loud enough. haven't even had them up all the way, and you can hear it throughout the house and outside etc.

[street]

i think im definitely going to be producing a lot more than playing parties so those krk monitors are the way to go.

[awesome88]

yup, for producing, monitors are def the way to go. like i said, better sound quality, and also, you don't need it loud for producing and listening back. You can actually hear the different elements of the song better at a normal lower volume than you can when it is louder.

[street]

KRKs can plug straight into the mixer right? but what about laptops? as Im going to be switching from the decks to the laptop a fair bit.

[Jaz]

just get a rca to rca for mixing and a AUX (single laptop plug) to rca for your laptop

[Gandy]

i use XLR to rca for the mixer

you should be able to do rca to 3.5mm for the laptop

[street]

do the monitors come with the XLR-RCAs?

[Gandy]

mine did, but not sure if they threw it in for free because i bought a whole kit off them
