picked these up the other day http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MR8...CFc8F7AodwzcANw
I am so shocked on how much bass I have(way to much) to compensate for not having a bigger woofer.They sound awesome though, however, I have interference some where, I can't "track" down to get the buzzing out,so I am coming to the vast knowledge base that is gmc. Any Ideas? I have tried different outlets ,6ft cables |

SWEEEEEET!!!!! Those are freaking spiff!!!!!!!! See if you can isolate it by removing everything from the signal path. Just use an ipod or some such and plug the speakers in. That way you can see if its in the speakers or the juice from the wall.
P.S. I think those are "SHIELDED" but make sure on the vendor web site. Then move them close to and the away from your computer monitor to see if the monitor is causing the buzz. Do the same with your guitar. Active pickups can sometimes cause this effect in some speakers.

Where ever possible you should use balanced connections i.e. preferably the XLR and if you can't then th TRS jack. Unbalanced is more likey to suffer from interference. Even so never run an audio lead parallel to a mains lead, they should be at 90 degrees.
The filter switches are there more as a rough attempt to provide some compensation for rooms that need more sound treatment. The vast majority/all reasonably recent studio monitors are shielded and so unlikely to pick up interference from a computer screen.. You don't need to use expensive XLR leads just good quality ones with preferably nuetrik connectors. Finally - try putting acoustic foam in to rear port to close it. You'll lose a little bass end but what you will gain is less boom, better timing and less distortion. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Flat basically just means that the monitor reproduces the full spectrum without empasising any particular portion of it. No monitor is perfectly flat but you try to get as flat as possible since for tracking/mixing/mastering the 'flatter' the better. Many mixing monitors deliberately hype parts of the spectrum to emphasise, for instance, vocal midrange, when they do hype the monitor becomes more 'musical' but less suited for making clinical mix decisions.
Things though aren't all about being 'flat', another aspect tat is important is how quickly frequencies decay. If they don't then a note n a bass guitar, for instance, may end up not finishing before the next so the bass starts to wallow and ring on unnaturally. A lot of ported monitors tend to suffer from this and it ruins timing information. If you want to check for this ou need to look at the waterfall plots of a monitor and not just the standard 2d spectrum plots. It's also worth remembering that it depends on how the monitors suit your room. A shop demo can give you some idea but it isn't ideal. Some shops will let you have a home demo provided that ou really are serious about buying. By the way - an 8'' with a sub would need quite careful siting and a fair bit of bass trapping. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
