Third on the Yamaha monitors.Seconded! They're really great, IMO
Third on the Yamaha monitors.
I also have the sub as I mix full audio through them.
These are excellent products.
I’ve been using Presonus Scepter S8s for years, and they are accurate and powerful. Presets made using them translate well to the CLR monitor I usually use for gigging. The Eris series are much lower in cost, but still sound great.
Would something like a QSC K12.2 or QSC K10.2 work as a studio monitor, or do you need something specifically designed to be a studio monitor?
I've tried using my CLR's as monitors and it technically works. They sound fantastic. But, there's a very slight hiss which is unnoticeable as soon they are a meter or so away. But sitting in a quiet room with the speakers something like 50cm from my ears and directly facing me, it's very noticeable when there's no sound, it's annoying. The QSC's would have fans in them as well which would be even more annoying than the CLRs. I think it's just one of those things of using the right tool for the right job and PA speakers like the QSC's are not built to be studio monitors.
The hiss comes from the master volume on the CLRs, not the input level controls. So if you keep the masters low, it makes a difference.
