About to buy the Rokit 8's....
Do you think this a good buy? Plan on using these with my laptop for serious music production. Anything I need to buy other than two Rokit 8's? Just plug into the headphone jack? Thanks.

Pretty obvious but i've seen newbs rape monitors lol "mmmm burning woofer coil". If you haven't yet definitely get in an external soundcard. Those monitors deserve more then a standard laptop headphone jack lol. |

Do some research on monitors in the production forum and buy some monitors which people recommend. I know from having done research in the past that KRK's have the marketing down, but when it comes to people's opinion no one recommended them to me.
I'd do a little more reading before purchasing. It'll help you with your serious music production

It's all up to what your source can output. A dj mixer will generally have dual rca at the minimum, dual jack at the better, dual xlr at it's best. Simply plug the left and right outputs from the mixer to the appropriate inputs on the speakers. If you have a "single" jack, do you mean a stereo jack? What are you using in that case??? Computer sound card output? if that be so it will be a 3.5mm stereo jack; you'll get a Y cable which is 3.5mm jack and dual rca output. |

Pop over to the production forum and use the search function as there have been a tonne of threads on monitors.
Off the top of my head I've heard the Yamaha HS80 or something along those lines are well respected. I haven't looked at monitors in quite some time though so there might be something better out.

M-Audio monitors, ahahhaha

| Originally posted by DJ RANN Exactly right. KRK market like crazy including a huge number of sponsored artists who get money and speakers for free for posing with them. In fact, I think they're the only speaker manufacturer that has their own "featured artist" endorsement page. It was the same with M-Audio monitors and BT - they paid him a bunch of money to endorse them, and those speakers are utter turd. It's probably DJ's who have told you they're OK. Don't get me wrong, it's not like you can't use them to listen to music, it's just that there are many, many, far batter monitors available for less money. |

| Originally posted by OOPS! Ok so I'm thinking about buying two of these. http://www.amazon.com/JBL-LSR2325P-...r/dp/B001PYK1BS What do you think? There is no left or right speaker correct? Just buy two and that cable and then plug in the headphone jack on the laptop? I don't know I'm a n00b. |
Decent speakers for a DJ setup but stay the hell away if they are for production.

Yep, the KRKs the OP mentioned.

| Originally posted by DJ RANN I have these monitors myself and they are superb - IMO, the best sub 6" monitors you can buy for under $1000. I guarantee you'll love them. You're right - just buy two of them, then you'll need: It's called a stereo minijack to 2 x RCA (phono) cable. At some point you'll want to think about getting a soundcard that has balanced connections (and to take advantage of better drivers, less latency etc - but that's another conversation), but you'll be fine with this for the time being. |
. Any good recommendations? And thanks again for your help man.
