6 Best Studio Monitors in 2020

The HS series of monitors includes some of the most accurate speakers in the industry. The sonic platform used in these studio monitors is one of the most precise and honest.

The Hs8 studio monitor is equipped with an 8-inch cone woofer and a 1-inch dome tweeter that manage to deliver high sound quality with low distortion and a well-defined bottom end regardless of the output level.

It can support a frequency response between 38Hz and 30kHz with high trim control for a high-frequency response. This speaker will reproduce an extremely accurate audio image, with incredible details. In addition, the bi-amplification system (combined 120-Watt amplification) shows the speaker is quite powerful, with a high response rate.

Lastly, the Hs8 is equipped with a 2-Way bass reflex system (there’s no need for a subwoofer) and everything is housed in an MDF enclosure to avoid getting any resonance. In addition, these speakers have room control – this means that you can place them near walls.

Overall, this monitor is ideal for producers who own a studio regardless of the size (room control and high trim control provide make it easily adaptable to all surroundings). It’s also great as a recording monitor or for audiophiles who want to make sure they get incredible detail and clarity.

If you’re looking for a low-cost monitor speaker, the RP5 Rokit G4 should be in your purview. The monitor is equipped with 5-inch woofers, has a built-in digital room correction feature and a front-firing port that offers exceptional low-end extension and accuracy.

The matching drivers made with Kevlar make sure the monitors respect sonic integrity regardless of frequency (it supports between 43Hz – 40KHz). It also comes with an LCD screen and 25 visual graphic EQ settings that can be used to minimize and correct any environment-related acoustic problems.

Overall, these monitors are a great option for DJs, music producers, and audiophiles who don’t have a generous budget (they look amazing as bookshelf speakers). We also like them because users can connect the KRK App (Android & iOS) to set up the surrounding environment for better monitoring and faster mixing.

Featuring a compact design, these monitor speakers provide excellent audio quality, which is why we think they’re among the best home studio monitors. The front-loaded 2-way bass reflex system is perfect for a rich low-end, while the DECO technology supports a wider reach and 3D stereo sound regardless of your position in the room.

Each of these active monitor speakers has a ¾-inch soft dome woofer fitted with DECO convex diffusers, a 4-inch fiberglass woofer, and can support a frequency range between 70 and 30000 Hz. In addition, the ducts are designed with grooves to reduce air friction, meaning that the bass will be just as tight, even when the monitors are positioned against a wall (in case you want to use them as PC speakers).

Lastly, the tweeter and woofer are aligned. This way, the monitors don’t suffer from crossover and the response across the frequencies is well-balanced.

All the MkII JBL monitor speakers are equipped with next-generation HF and LF transducers designed with optimized damping for superior transient response. As such, these monitors can support a deep bass with lower harmonic distortion, which makes the result quite impressive.

The 305P MkII speakers also come with a new Boundary EQ that helps restore neutral low-frequency response if the speakers are near a wall. The sound is boosted by dual integrated custom Class-D amplifiers that deliver 82 watts of total power.

Lastly, the 305P speakers feature a modern design with a slight inclination towards dramatic flair. The visual scene is taken by the patented Image Control Waveguide, placed at the top. This element provides a room-friendly sweet spot, which makes the audio experience more interesting.

One of the reasons your home-made mixes don’t get as much attention as you’d like is the lack of balance that comes from monitors that don’t deliver true audio quality. So, if you’re tired of muffled low-ends or extremely crispy high-ends in your mixes, the Eris E5 monitors are just right.

These bad boys are active monitors, and each is equipped with one 5.25-inch Kevlar low-frequency transducer and one 1-inch ultra-low-mass silk dome high-frequency transducer. They also support 80-watt class A/B bi-amplification and have built-in protection from RF interference and others.

Overall, the Eris E5 speakers are powerful enough to produce studio-quality audio, but they are quite affordable so audiophiles can set them up in their homes.

A refreshing look, a compact design, and a great price for the value! The CR5BT speakers from Mackie are ideal for at-home use for video editing, listening to music, watching movies, or enjoying some video games.

They support an ultra-wide frequency range (60Hz – 20kHz) that covers all multimedia channels. Also, they support BT connectivity which allows users to stream music, movies, or audiobooks from their mobile devices. Of course, other inputs are available such as 1/4″, 1/8″ and RCA ports).

These speakers are powerful for their size (50 watts) and deliver clear stereo sound quality due to the 5-inch polypropylene-coated woofer. The quality of sound is also supported by the wooden cabinet that provides a natural sonic booster.

Lastly, these speakers can be used as-is or with headphones. But you can also use them as an auxiliary device!
