Hi gang

 

What’s your monitor set up?

 

I use Tannoy M1’s with Presonus Eris E4.5 Nearfield Monitors.

 

Cheers

A pair of Tannoy 502s.

(I also use KRK headphones - KNS-6400 - which were recommended to me by professional recording engineer, and they are really good and very reasonably priced).

I love my Tannoy’s. I kind of fell in love with Tannoy as a make after I experienced some Tannoy Little Red’s and a stonking pair of Super Red’s in a studio I worked in. A superb sound.

nice tidy set up Greg. I liked the predecessor Yamaha NS10 (inspired the HS range) but it always had a poor bass response despite the rest of the frequency response being pretty flat. I believe the HS range has the same issue. Do you do anything to compensate or otherwise deal with it? When I used them I simply turned up the bass boost in my output stage during mixdown, and then reset it to zero for rendering. Otherwise my mixes would be too bass dominated.

Hi John. 
I'm no expert and have never done comparisons.  

The H5's SOUND fine so that's good enough for me, plus my music isn't bass heavy.
