Re: To RBP - Is the Studio Monitor Shoot out completed? (NT)

209.128.168.219

It got started, but lack of intrest kept it from really taking on a full blown observation.***

*** Denotes current notes.

Here are some of the preliminary test results:

Sensitivities at 1.5 meters / 3 meters /1 Watt 2.83V

Measured as an average of swept frequencies, and pink noise.

A7 VOT 101.3 100.1 -1.1
NS 10 92.9 92.1 -0.8
Ns1000M 96.7 96.5 -0.2
L-88 94.3 93.1 -1.2
Mon 1 90.8 88.2 -2.6
Mon 2 91.5 88.3 ! -3.2
PB 6.5 91.9 90.4 -1.5
Auratones 90.7 89.9 -0.8
20/20 91.2 90.1 -1.1
Dynau. 91.8 90.8 -1.0
Klip/H 103.4 102.9 -0.5

The more that the monitor varies between these numbers, the more compression is translated, and dynamic range is inaccurate.

Less dissapation is Yielding more accurate results.

**** THIS WAS THE SPEAKERS THAT WERE TESTED***

The Contenders:

( Feel free to add to this list )** This did not happen, so I had to deal the units' avalible.

Altec Lansing A7 Voice of the theater
JBL 4311
Yamaha NS10M
Yamaha NS1000M
JBL L88
Alesis Monitor 1
Alesis Monitor 2
Tannoy PB 6.5
Auratone Cubes
Event 20/20
Dynaudio (17w75/D28AF)
Klipsch Klipschorns.


***** This is a reprint, evaluation is over, setup torn down.

Still looking for :
604 Altecs, ( may do these from memory...Sound services New Orleans units')
Large Tannoys' on loan.

Shootout will be one tune "pop", and one tune "orchestral" mix down to 2 track.

I had a few contributors, but lack of forum intrest dictated that I could not spend 400 hours or more on this project. Perhaps it may happen again someday.

Overall, the NS1000M's provided the most accurate translation of this group.
