Studio monitors for djing?
Just wondering what everyone's thoughts where on using studio monitors for djing. I've heard that they generally have a very flat sound and such, which might not be very good for dj mixing. I don't know. If anyone has such a setup let me know what you think.
Also if anyone who use them could recomend some that are priced around $600 for the pair. And if you had any horror stories from any brand that would be cool too Currently i'm looking into getting the Behringer TRUTH 2031A's or Event TR6's :y: cheers

a 6 inch (the behringer) will sound flat and pretty much sucks
go with an 8 inch a really nice rich sound with great low end would be a pair of Tapco S-8's a little pricey at tom lee but VERY nice for dj practice.... thing with a studio monitor is you dont want to "push" them for long... so dont play a very loud house party with them... but are excellent for medium to loud practice mixing... just go to a few music stores and listen to them with your music you intent to play ... the s-8's definately get my thumbs up... and the bass is suprisingly good on them... plus they are self powered which is always a bonus good luck!

Studio monitors are great for djing on.... but not totally nessassary. Decent quality consumer gear can work fine if your just playing records. Get a pair for sure though if you write tracks.... the quality of your stuff will jump waay up instantly. It's amazing how much of a difference clear sound makes :)

i have the truths. they actually have really great sound. you'd be surprised as to how good the bass is you get out of them as well.
of course this just temporary until i get my mackie 450 back. Last edited by wigglesworth; Jan 13, 05 at 05:59 AM.

if i had the bling, i'd get Mackie HR824's
but instead I have Yorkville YSM1P (powered too so u dont need an amp) i think these end up costing me 700 a few years ago, so u should be able to get a pair for around 6 now. Check em out @ L&M

Get your self a Yorkvile E160P, or NX250P. They sound ok,,, but that's not why I suggest it. It is a good idea to get use to a the speaker you may end up being suck with at gig.
Say If you have a pro-monitor quality speaker you will train you ear to hear all of the music while DJing. And then if you go play out with shit speakers you will be at a lost because parts of the music will be missing. Dave from MorningGlory Sound and Lights

i would rather hear all the sound while im playing and practicing.. imo
practice is practice... not only that.. but then you are practicing versitility, being able to play on various types of gear setup. what happens if you ONLY play on crap speakers that you only hear half the music? you play on good speakers and get all confused with all the extra sounds. ive seen beginner djs that suddenly cant mix with all the distraction... id rather be able to have a great little gathering or listen to my own music with the best reproduction possible... but to each his own my advice for what its worth is get the good speaks for your house/practicing.
