INTRO: Hello guys! I am back again with another video that I will mention the best budget
studio monitors for you! Do you own a studio monitor? Or do you want
to buy any of them? Well if you already own one and it isn't mentioned in this video,
you basically have nothing! Don't hate me but give them a look! They are amazing!
Starting off the list with the first product from JBL which is the JBL 305P MkII - best
overall You already know that whenever I have to talk
about speakers, I always mention the JBL company because for real when it comes to speakers,
they make some of the best ones! This version of Studio Monitors from JBL is
called the professional one! It consists of a very fancy design that would look very good
in your studio, and besides that still has a very good price! The dimensions of this
speaker measure 14 x 12.2 x 13.93 inches, and since it comes in pairs then these measurements
are for each! The weight of the speakers is 4 kg each! The speakers are both two-way speakers
that give very good sound quality. An important feature of these speakers is
that it has dual integrated Class-D amplifiers that provide 82 watts of power, and a frequency
response of 49Hz to 20kHz. As per their connectivity, these speakers
are wired so you definitely need a cable to turn them on. With a stereo output mode, the
speakers give both high-frequency HF and low-frequency LF transducers that provide impressive bass
and lower harmonic distortion! The special part of the features that you have in these
speakers is that they also include boundary equalization which is one of the most well-known
forms of audio processing in studio monitors! There is a double flared shape of the port
so it gives great low frequency and also the turbulence is totally reduced.
The JBL 305P MkII with a 100 hours full-power test gives a lot of years of reliability!
This studio monitor based on its price tag is one of the monitors that have the best
features that are in a way the same as the ones that cost more!
2. The second studio monitor that I will mention right now is the PreSonus Eris 3.5- best budget
These speakers have a two-way connection which is wired and with Bluetooth but since we are
talking about budget studio monitors then the wired one is the right one to talk about!
This type of speaker comes also in pairs and the measurements are 6.4 x 5.6 x 8.3 inches
and have a weight of 2 kg, so that means that they are flexible because of their weight
since other studio monitors weigh more! The design is pretty much the same as the first
ones that I mentioned and they are also two-way speakers and the sound that comes from these
studio monitors is considered as a sound that you can trust!
As mentioned at the beginning these studio monitors are wired and include three types
of audio inputs. It includes very flexible TRS and RCA inputs, rear panel, and front
panel stereo for the use of mobile audio devices! The sound quality of these studio monitors
is immersive, they have a very smooth and even frequency response of 80Hz to 20 kHz!
Let's not forget to mention that the studio monitors can also be used for gaming and they
basically have the same technology as the large ones that deliver studio-quality sounds.
The reliability of these studio monitors isn't too high, and maybe you can't use them for
many years, but when you consider the price they are in a way worth it!
This studio monitor is one of the cheapest products that I will mention since it is under
100 dollars, and if you like small studio monitors that have a low price tag then this
one is the right choice! The third studio monitor that is worth the
money is the Mackie CR-X Series - best connectivity The CR-X Series from Mackie are studio monitors
that have a professional sound quality for studios.
Coming in pairs and with a 3-inch size these speakers have a very pretty design with black
color and at the edges have a slightly very pretty green line that makes these speakers
even more attractive! The dimensions measure 5.5 x 8.1 x 7.1 inches and the weight of 3.5
kg, so the dimensions let us know that these speakers aren't very big and give us the possibility
of moving them wherever we want pretty easily! Just as the other two speakers that I already
mentioned, these studio monitors are also two-way speakers, that offer perfect studio-quality
sound. The connectivity includes RCA and also Aux
inputs. There is also another version of CR-X, that includes a Bluetooth connection, which
allows you to get connected more easily. Another feature of these speakers is that you can
also plug in your headphones at the headphone output on the front panel of the speaker,
so you can listen to it more closer! Another part that is included with the speakers is
a speaker wire, that lets you connect both speakers with each other!
The frequency response of the Mackie CR-X Series is 80 Hz to 20 kHz. These studio monitors
may be also a perfect choice for gaming speakers and also as bookshelf speakers!
I know that connection is an important issue when it comes to different devices and especially
those that have to do with music or sound! This studio monitor gives a solution to those
that like multiple connectivities! Moving on, the fourth place is for the famous
Alesis Elevate 5 MKII - best bass Alesis Elevate 5 MKII is very well-known when
it comes to studio monitors, and many people around the world use them.
The design of these speakers that also come in pairs is very pretty that comes in only
one black color, they have a very clear and clean surface that perfectly shines, and they
are made of wood. The measurements of these speakers are 8.7 x 7.25 x 10.6 inches and
a weight of 5 kg per each. These studio monitors are also two-way speakers that allow you to
listen to mixes and different multimedia content with clarity and full sound. The speakers
also have a volume control that is located in the front panel of them.
The frequency response of these speakers is 56 Hz - 20 kHz and the connectivity includes
RCA, and jack inputs. The special feature that these speakers own is that they also
include the Bass boost switch, that you have at the back of the speaker and it has excellent
bass response and clarity. A special feature about these speakers besides the bass s that
they can separate high and low-frequency drivers with crossovers where the audio is basically
divided. The speakers also may be a good choice for
gaming, video editing, and also mobile devices. By the company that produces them, it is said
that they last more than 10 years but I think that it is just a number and they may last
for like 3 to 5 years depending on their usage! If any of you guys, is a fan of bass then
this studio monitor is the right choice for you, since it has impressive bass clarity!
And, last but not least as the fifth one is the irresistible Pioneer DM40 - best frequency
response These speakers are the most famous speakers
from Pioneer that became favorite studio monitors for many people!
Also coming in pairs, these speakers don't differ too much from the other studio monitors
that I already mentioned because somehow the studio monitors look kind of the same. The
dimensions measure 15.6 x 10.6 x 13.9 inches for each speaker, and each of them weighs
5.5kg. The speakers don't have a shiny surface, they have a matte black color that would look
very stylish in your studio! Like many of the studio monitors that I already mentioned,
these speakers also have the volume control on the front surface.
The frequency response of these speakers is 70 Hz - 30 kHz which is the highest response
compared to the other studio monitors on our list. The speakers include a standard RCA
and TRS connection and a stereo mini-plug. The sound quality on these speakers is impressive
and it also includes a two-way bass-reflex that produces sounds with a combination of
high-frequency and low-frequency. The Pioneer DM40 studio monitor for some people
is considered as their best friend, which can last very long since they are very durable!
The Pioneer DM40 as mentioned has the highest frequency response from them all and if you
want a high range of production of your music then this is the best one!
CONCLUSION: Was I right? Do you have any of them or as I mentioned at the beginning you
have nothing? These were the five products that made me
throw my basic speakers out of the house! They are really amazing for those that like
quality and don't like to spend a big amount of money!
