If you’re looking for monitor speakers, you’ve arrived at the right place. Sky Music’s experts have trawled the catalogues of the world’s best manufacturers to bring you a selection of the best monitor speakers, designed to give the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on.
If you’re searching for monitor speakers for the first time, it’s important to know the difference between these and home stereo speakers. The latter are designed to enhance audio levels by boosting the bass and bringing richer tones from the mids and highs. Studio monitor speakers, on the other hand, keep frequencies flat which results in cleaner sound for more accurate mixing. It’s an essential piece of equipment for producers, because it allows them to accurately hear what they are mixing, without the speaker adding its own elements to the sound. Our range is currently sourced from Japanese brand Yamaha.
Why Sky Music’s selection of monitor speakers is right for you
Our selection of studio monitor speakers are supplied from Yamaha, and this is because they’ve become a genuine industry standard for their expertise and excellence in sound production. Yamaha's speaker engineering team have examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these the most trusted in the business.
As a music producer or a musician, having access to monitor speakers allows you to mix sounds in a professional or home studio environment. Hook them up to a TV or use them to listen to music, and we mean really listen to music. The stripped back sound gives the most pure and authentic experience, without interference from a speaker, giving an experience that would be appreciated by purists.
Music producers know it’s vital to get the set up right, because the slightest thing will affect the quality of sound. Here are some considerations for setting up your studio monitors:
- Avoid walls to avoid ‘standing waves’
- Keep things symmetrical
- Avoid poor angles
- Avoid problematic reflections
- Equal loudness and levels.
Whenever you use a studio monitor, you’re going to need a range of accessories to go with it, most importantly cables, as these are not supplied. This is so that each user can tailor their set-up to their exact individual needs, hooking it up to a laptop or mixing board.
