Grab a pair of these type of MOFO RISERS on ebay. They go about $20. You can tilt your speaker to hit your ears perfectly. If you speakers are sitting on your desk, they are probably pointing to low and your mixes will sound brittle and bright when you play them outside your studio. This will fix that pretty quick and isolate the speaker so that it doesn't use your desk as a resonator
When these sort of products started hitting the market, I was curious and went to a studio where they were demonstrated by the distributor (can't remember with brand now).
They do make a difference in sound, besides angle cause the cab. resonates more naturally (not affected by its weight or where its placed if surface resonates) mud in the mid to bass area was decreased.
These are probably cheap chinese knockoffs but it's just foam after all. I like the angle part quite a bit as it really changes things to have your tweeters pointed at your ears and not your chest. Also the isolation is helpful as well
Good find Todd. I think I should think of adding something like this to my setup. My monitors are sitting on my desk right now and might be angled just slightly below the ears level.
I'd say go for it!! Very cheap fix and it will really change your mixes. If your monitors are not pointing to your head, you really can't tell what's happening in the high frequencies especially.
Man, I really need to stop procrastinating and get a set of studio monitors already
Everything sounds good with headphones until you unplug them
You can get a pair of decent passive monitors that you can power using your home theatre amp/reciever for a couple hundred bucks on ebay. ALESIS ONE MKII are a great place to start
*Or you can buy my pair for $200 I'm selling a pair of these to try to get a BIGGER set of monitors.
