Default What exactly is a 'Monitor' speaker ?.

I always thought that the generic term of monitor speaker was one that
sounded like it was the real sounds.



** No, it refers to *monitoring" real sounds - ie live mic signals.

It defines a purpose and the speaker must be suitable for that job.


It certainly seems to have meant that
in studios.



** Favourite studio monitors are mostly highly inaccurate.

JBL being among the worst, thick and coloured like tomato soup.


As for the Addams family of speakers, do you need to feed those with Monster
cables perhaps?


** Shakes head, emits long, low groan...
