Hi
My present configuration is:
a. a rather square room about 4x4m
b. a basic pc, display, pair of speakers left - right for mixing (passive spirit absolute 2, 6.5") set up
c. a synth placed on my back (50-60cm) and a quite off center (my desk is Π shaped with my pc on right vertical and the synth on the left).
the synth goes to a mixing console then via direct out to soundcard.
My problem is that while its a quite nice config for mixing purposes, working with my synth (most of the time my pc is off) through those monitors
a. sucks cause I am 100% outside of any triangle shaped configuration so the slightest move of my head changes the sound and phase cancellation is massive
b. i m working with very low freq so by increasing the volume my monitors start to pump like crazy and i m sure soon would be off.
I wonder whats the way through here, buying one active speaker with good low end response (my budget is max 300 euros) just for synth monitoring or buy new bigger speakers and then change their position
whenever working with the synth? few years ago I was surprised watching my fav artist Eliane Radigue in her home studio (arp 2500) and one spirit absolute 2 speaker for monitoring. So whats the issues here
are my speakers ok for low freq or not?
thanks
