Yamaha HS80Ms and a Renoise T
Above are some images of my new Yamaha HS80M Monitors and myself in my new Renoise T-shirt. No need for comment on the latter, but the new speakers have been absolutely wonderful and I’ve been kicking myself for not investing in them earlier. As you can see from the pictures I’ve adjusted the position of the desk (thus the speaks on them) by moved the entire set-up off the wall by about 2 feet. The reason for doing this? Well, apart from being able to better access the growing mess of cables back there, the aim was to improve the speakers bass response. Monitors this big (8″ woofers) get quite boomy against a wall due to bass harmonics getting emphasised – having them out in the middle of the room helps the frequencies “breathe” better and you get a much more natural response. This means that I do not have to deal with the HS80Ms ‘room control’ switches being at anything other than ‘flat’. This equates to a fantastic sound reproduction that I can be very confident in using the speakers as a tool to make mixes that translate well on other speaker systems.
Already an album project has been mastered on this set-up that is due for release now very, very soon. So watch this space…
