Re: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio
Thanks for all the replies, especially Jeff. I ended up purchasing the M-audio speakers. Ironically, the boxes arrived in my living room, where our TV is located. To find out how well they worked, we hooked them up to the TV and liked the sound. I decided to keep them connected to the TV and visit my local Guitar Center store here in Chicago to hear monitor speakers in person. In addition to listening to the M-audio 40 speakers, I also listened to another M-audio speaker along with a KRK rocket 5 speakers. All seemed to have too much bass for editing. Maybe it was my golden years or champagne taste, but I then started listening to speakers a level above these. I compared the Mackey MR5, Yamaha MS 50 and Tannoy 501a speakers. The sound from the Tannoy speakers was brilliant and clear, but the bass was rather evident. With the Mackey, the bass made the whole sound image sound a little muddy. The Yamaha was crisp and clear, allowing me to hear every sound detail, every breath, every voice inflection, absolutely everything picked up by the microphone. It was clear and completely uncolored audio. I understand why this speaker and its famous predecessor, the NS 10M, which used endangered wood, are the industry standard. I ended up buying the Yamaha speakers and glad I did. I found the online and published reviews of all the different speakers rather meaningless. All said good things about the quality speakers. At a certain point, different kinds of people are attracted to quality products for different reasons. The real review is in the listening room hearing the speakers for yourself. I paid about three times more than what was paid for the M-Audio AV 40 speakers. Guitar Center price matched the lowest price available on the Internet, cutting the cost by $80 for the pair. I printed the web page with this lower price and it was accepted without a hassle. When I arrived home and connected the speakers, I began editing some of the spoken word recordings I have made in the last few months and can’t believe the clarity. These are highly recommended for anyone who has a computer serving as a dedicated audio workstation, like myself.

The M-Audio AV40 speakers have both left-right RCA jacks and left-right 1/4-inch phono jacks. For the TV I just run a cord from the TV headphone jack to the speakers.

Re: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio
I'd believe that. I think some of the on board stuff's outputs are cleaning up somewhat, but record from a mic once hooked to the input jack. I never tried an analog headset on my Turtle Beach card, but would think the USB headsets would come out of a test better, assuming that the microphones themself are of similar quality in both. - Original Message - From: "Dane Trethowan" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2012 4:23 AM Subject: Re: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio Its also fallen to my knowledge that the people reviewing these speakers may have noisy sound cards?

Re: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio
I've heard of those too, the ones that act as their own sound card. Another idea is a USB sound card if one didn't have RCA jacks or some other better kind of connection. On the Mac Book, that's how it's probably required to get a microphone in, at least when running Windows, as the only choices for input are optical or line level, and I don't think you could just get a mic with an optical output. - Original Message - From: "André van Deventer" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2012 1:50 AM Subject: RE: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio Also it is important to remember that the sound quality will be bad if the source is bad. Many computer speakers works from the headphone socket of a sound card. If the quality of the sound card is bad the speakers will sound bad. There is something to be said for those speakers who have internal DACS and use a usb interface. At least test results sith them will be more or less the same. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: 05 April 2012 01:23 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio Yes! I did read about the background hiss but there's none of that here whatever and I particularly looked for that, as one reviewer commented "you'd expect better from a top of the line speaker system", I can only think of a few reasons as to why some people may be getting background hiss. Firstly I use good quality shielded leads between computer and speaker system, the lead that comes with the Altec Lansing - whilst able to do the job admirably in most cases - is quite thin thus interference may leak in through the lead if some people ar running their computer systems or speaker system near say ADSL modems, other switch mode supplies etc. Background noise through the Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra system here is none, dead silence.

RE: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio
Also it is important to remember that the sound quality will be bad if the source is bad. Many computer speakers works from the headphone socket of a sound card. If the quality of the sound card is bad the speakers will sound bad. There is something to be said for those speakers who have internal DACS and use a usb interface. At least test results sith them will be more or less the same. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: 05 April 2012 01:23 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio Yes!

Work with what? I have only had the control 2.4g speakers which are RF speakers, one is active with it's own amplifier and the other is passive. I haven't heard of the "On-Tour" speakers. I can only say that I am mightily impressed with the quality of JBL and when the day comes to replace my Mission 735 floor standing speakers, I will spend the necessary money to get a high end pair of JBL speakers as a replacement.

I want to hear quality audio rather than the crappie speakers at the computer store. Yet, I don’t need the fancy $800 studio monitors either. I would appreciate any suggestions for affordable, but good sounding powered speakers for editing spoken word recordings.

Would the JBL On-tour speakers work? - Original Message - From: "walter ramage" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2012 5:55 PM Subject: Re: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio Hi. Why not try the JBL Control 2.4g cordless speakers. The pair I have are phenomenal and I love listening to them, I never get listener fatigue. They should cost around $210 and if you try them out you won't be sorry, they are very small but you will listen to the power and volume that comes from them and then feel their size and disbelieve what you are hearing could possibly come from speaker so small. They also come with wall mounting brackets which allows you to adjust their angle in relationship to your listening position.

Re: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio
I have 2 sets of speakers I think that would give you what you're asking. Yep you're correct, generally computer speakers are crappy however the old policy applies here, "You Get What You Pay for". I've reviewed a number of different sets of speakers on this list, Altec Lansing Expressionist Plus and Expressionist Ultra speakers, both are excellent speakers. The Ultra is better than the plus but you're going to pay a little more for them and its likely that your computer shop won't even know about them, mine certainly didn't. The Expressionist Plus are quite reasonably priced given what they do.
