Do I need a subwoofer with speakers? Advise Needed Please:)

Post by Kendalton » Thu May 19, 2011 12:22 pm

Hi I am going to be purchasing some speakers to use with my CDJs, but speakers are very confusing...

I want to spend less than £120 on speakers, but I listen to Youngsta rinse sets so you can understand what I would be playing.

I know 120 is nothing but what should I be looking at?

do they look any good to you? Do i need a subwoofer with them?

I'm really concerned like I don't want a system that will go BRRRBRRBRRRBRRR when I play something deep.


How does it work what happens If i buy a pair of Eltax Monitor III speakers? Do I need a woofer with that?


ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE!
(I'm an idiot haha)

I'd get some 2nd hand monitors on eBay if I were you. Just make sure they're looked after.
I bought a set of Alesis M1 Mk2's for £90 on eBay and they are great for mixing. They are a bit bass heavy (so need to bear this in mind when i'm producing) but they are great for mixing. And they are FUCKING loud. Eventually I want to get KRK Rokits for production and just keep the Alesis for mixing on.

I'm assuming this is just for your bedroom / front room / house somewhere yeah?

The speakers you mentioned look ok... if a little bit "budget" but I don't know anything about Hyundai speakers. Also those speakers aren't powered (unless i'm not reading properly) so you will need an amp to power them

Okay so if i went out and bought monitor speakers I probably wouldn't need a subwoofer to hear the bass?

You won't need one so long as you get some monitors with a wide frequency response, like say 30hz and above or something, if the monitors are like 70hz -20000hz then your gonna need a woofer!!

This basically. My Alesis are 45hz - 22000hz and I get away with it. You can always at a sub to your setup later if you feel you need it.
