Event studio precision 8

cmbsounds · 13th August 2006

For the money are these good monitors. I seen them at bhphoto for $515 per monitor so for the money how do they sound.

I own a pair, and i think they sound great. They can handle crazy low end, and everybody thats heard them at my place is like "wow" those monitors sound phat!

For $515 per monitor, i think its well worth the money imo. I produce hip-hop btw, so i need to hear the really low end, and they go down low.

are you using a sub with yours or are they good enough without one

I say they are good without one.... i use them and am very happy.

don't buy a sub.... spend the time and energy treating your room acoustically.

that will lead to better results.

They are WAY good without a sub! Absolutely no need for a sub with the SP8's

Bottom end is crazy.

No sub with my SP8's, no need that's why I bought them, great bottom end and natural highs.

I had pair of SP8's last year. Over the B*******'s Truths they made a world of difference. I stopped making so many coasters!! BUT, the low end left me still confused at mix down. Yes, my room was treated with OC 703/705 so I feel confident that it wasn't the room. For the money you're talking about it sounds like a great deal (I paid $1300/pair). I like the way they looked and sounded(except the bass). Yes it did go low, but I thought it was sloppy. I like my bass taut and controlled. There were some other quality control issues that came up too (amp issues, port chuffing). I ended up with a pair of Dynaudio BM-15's powered by a Rotel RB-991 amp(300W/ch 4ohm). Maybe it is their amp in the unit that makes the bass sloppy. Consider a passive pair with a Bryston amp(3B or 4B).

Hope this helps,

I love my ASP8s... no issues, great tight bass.

I have a set of precision 8 and a BEHRINGER TRUTH B2092A ACTIVE SUBWOOFER: 360
and thats how they should sound. I liked it so much a got a second B2092A for my 824 mackies. Do you need a sub no but it sounds much better with one. No more overloading on my precision 8 or 824's. I got each BEHRINGER TRUTH B2092A for $199.00 plus tax.

I bought a pair for the SP6's after hearing one of my friends SP8's.

I think they're great.

The low end can be tricky at first, but you just need to reference a few cd's you know well and you're in business.

They translate very very well. I never burned a mix more than two or three times if I don't nail it on the first, which happens quite often.

Good ish.
