You are correct. 3”. Sounds puny and it is but somehow they packed sound rivaling many 5”. In fact, I sold my Yamaha H5s because the Micros were so similar but form factor way better.
However, I don’t believe you can connect your sub unfortunately.
Thanks for the info!
If that’s a powered sub-woofer you can use it with any satellites. Usually you would send left/right signals to the satellites and a mono signal to the sub.
I’ve owned a pair of Kali LP-8 and really enjoy them. A bit more than the lp6 but worth it.
How would I accomplish this? I have those RCAs going to my Apogee Duet. So the 3.5 line out (headphones) go to Sub?
Can’t tell anything from that picture unfortunately. What is the signal flow and what connections are on each device?
Sorry for the crumby pic @anickt
Here’s a better one...
There is just RCA and Headphone inputs. The L&R is a proprietary cable (My biggest gripe). I use RCA to my Apogee interface. Headphone jack as line in for plugging in devices for general listening. Could free up that line in for sub if you’re suggesting that would work but I don’t think any of my subs at the studio would work in this way but you have my attention.
It's a shame they are RCA that's my only gripe as my Scarlet 2i2 is 1/4 out so would have to get 1/4inch to RCA.
Too bad you’re not in SoFlo I have a few spare cables too. Trying to get organized and get rid of clutter. Cable city over here.lol
Aside from the proprietary cable and sub challenge Micros really are amazing. One of those you gotta see it to believe it products for sure.
I have the PreSonus Eris E5s on my (2010 era) main PC, I like them very much. They aren't as big as some in size, and they are front-ported (why I chose them) which is useful in a smaller room and close to a back wall. I will say though that I had annoying electronic noise bleed (from hard disk & mouse) when using non-balanced cables to my Focusrite interface. As soon as I switched to balanced, it went away.
I had some Mackie CR5BT speakers - DO NOT buy these (nor I think any similar ones from Mackie). I liked them initially, useful to have the power/volume switch on the front. But the internal components are unreliable and even though I rarely used them (probably 30 hours max), after about 2.5 years something exploded inside... I took them apart as I'm familiar with electronics, and it was one of the capacitors, there were bits of it everywhere. It blew out part of the PCB wire traces so I couldn't easily fix it, there was a large sooty mess where the capacitor used to be, even the foam sound insultation was burnt in one spot. Surely a fire hazard... and if you look on Amazon (UK), there are quite a lot of people having problems with them. Avoid!
The JBL 305P speakers are very well regarded and a good price - in my mind, they are a bit ugly and a little bit bigger than most 5" monitors - but with the demise of my Mackies, I will be buy a pair of the JBL MkIIs very soon...
The outputs from your interface go to your speakers. What I need to know is what type and how many outputs are on the interface and what type of inputs are on the sub. The jacks on the iLouds are all inputs and have nothing to do with feeding the sub.
Neumann KH80 DSP
I’ve been in the market for some compact monitors for a while
I’m waiting for BF/Christmas to see if any sales
I might buy the iloud MTMs, but I really want front facing ports as I’m in a small studio space
And The micro ilouds seem just a bit too small to me for doing any real mixing?
The Neumann kh80 and genelec 8020 are also on my list for higher end
Adam3x I’ve heard lots of conflicting reports of ear fatigue from the high end
The bigger Adams are a lot better I’ve heard from my one friend who is a professional producer.
He says get at least 5”
I wouldn’t go lower than 5”.. . Adam T7V, do not strain the ears.. Plus don’t really need the Sub, but it helps if you get Adam T10s sub, as it designed for them & T5V.. helps the monitor low frequency take out the stain (if any).. Nice & loud.. Ribbon tweeter, are brilliant!.. But if you go the 5”, it would be better to have a Sub.. But since I just use T7V’s, (No sub).. They are pumping with Berhinger Euphoria 204HD soundcard.. People who had Yamahas have sold them fir theses.. Adam decided to market the lower end, as people cannot afford there normal high end Monitors.. £1000 & each, & up.. But you want monitors to last years, not because there small & compact.. These things are the difference between getting a good Mix/Mastering or getting poop mixes/mastering.. They only thing I would also suggest, is the size of you room, but it’s not good to mix with pumping music all day.. Your ears will break.. lol
Right. Which is why I don’t/didn’t think it were possible to connect a sub to the monitors.
Ah! Apologies. @anickt is correct. Forgot you can connect aany sub @gkillmaster by splitting the signal from the headphone jack and feeding it to the sub. Just cut out the highs to the signal going to the woofer.
Atleast i think that’s it.😬
I have the JBLs (from your list) and love them. Great bang for the buck.
It really depends on the sub and your amp if it’s separate. I have an amp with regular speaker jacks and a mono signal at line level to feed a sub. Some subs will take a regular speaker input (L/R) and also feed that signal back out to go to satellites. It all depends on what the connections to the sub are.
These would be the G3, right? From what I saw there are no 6" models in the newer G4 series.
Indeed. Well put. The latter I believe is the easisest way for the Op to connect Micros to most subs if trying to do so without an interface. Sorry for the derail folks but this was very helpful. Thanks @anickt !
Good question. Looking at the model # looks like G2. Theyve been sitting brand new in a box wasting space for going on 2 years is all I’m positive about. 🤦🏽♂️
I have the 6” JBL’s, I think 306pmkii is the model, I like them a lot, the soundstage is very nice. I have heard amazing things about the kali monitors as well. I’m not a fan of the Krk rockit series, I don’t think they’re very accurate. And I’d stay away from m-audio, my JBL were a significant improvement over my m-audio sp5 (the older models of what they have now). However, I got the m-audio for free from a friend many years ago and when I got my JBL last year, the m-audio got passed on to someone here for free, so there were a blessing to me and hopefully continue to work for someone else.
Don't make the mistake I did with those Mackie CRs. They are awful. Low-mid is so emphasized everything through them has this annoying hum. They were only $100 so no big but those great reviews on Amazon were misleading.
Thanks @jenkweb and @mrufino1 !
