What do you guys use for vocal monitors and main monitors?

boredoftherings · 18th October 2008

Hi. Just curious what brands/models of vocal monitors and main monitors people are using. Trying to get some really good monitors I won't need to replace, but that I can use with more speakers as I get more gear.

vocal monitors?, ...what are those

do you mean nearfield monitors maybe?...
there are so manny different brands and thus promises that you would need a chainsaw to cut all the trees to be able to see something if you know what i mean, ...how big do you want them, what is your budget?

go to a big music store where they sell most of the brands like KRK, tannoy, genelec etc, bring some reference material like your favourite cd of wich you know how it sounds and have fun

, ....myselve is a fan of 15" sofit mounted tannoy monitors, nice and big

Sorry, I mean "stage-monitors" for live performance. Should have been more specific.
