6KW power
2x Behringer iNuke NU3000
2x Behringer 1800B Pro 18" subs
2x Behringer 1520B Pro tops
1x Behringer DEQ2496 Processor

Works just fine at testing club masters at club levels
ofcourse only when being worked at my mastering studio (link below)

Don't settle with 6" monitors and Ozone "master" guys

So, I've got my studio, that's where is think i can trust my setup and ears and where i do my processing
once the first run of the master is ready, i copy it to USB and plug it in the CDJ850 and play it inbetween let's say David Guetta, Afrojack and Axel Karakacis so see how the track compares both on percieved volume and punch/impact

9 out of 10 times i got it near how i want it to translate the first time, sometimes i find that i overestimated the lows a bit so where it sounds fine on hifi, i tend to grab the low on the mixer to shelve a DB or so on the low end. If that's the case i go back to the studio and tweak some settings.

So see it as a sanity check to make sure it actually translates in the club how i think it should translate.

I also have a Mackie SRM450 V2 combo (you can see 1 unit used as "booth monitor" on the left together with a Mackie SWA1505 sub, but i can tell you 2x 18" + 2x 15" driven at 6KW is something else

HEY. Don't talk about me that way!

Just kidding, I use Afrojack's method, Fruity Compressor

Those are some pretty crazy speakers though...

In addition to my genelec 8020a production monitors, I have a pair of Final Audio Opus 204's and another pair of Kharma Grand Exquisites that I A/B on, granted I only bought the Opuses because of they're shiny, I still feel my music get's that little extra edge you'd won't get if you only test them on consumer level speakers. The GE's have a very nice sound to them as well, and they go perfect with my champagne cooler, so it's a Win/Win/Winning for everybody really.

Nice Raphie but Behringer? really?

And you test against Afrojack, Guetta and Axel?

What lack in taste you make up for in equipment


While we're on the subject, here's Danny Tenaglias Home Studio Club reference system:

I would have to hear that room for myself to be convinced that it sounds like anything other than a damned gymnasium.

In some ways though it makes sense; Danny's sound came from the whole loft/warehouse scene, and that setup is just a nice version of that. It actually makes sense if that's what your musical aesthetic and feel is about.

raphie saw thomas's mastering thread and he was getting shortness of breath, he rushed to the store quickly and took pics. all is good now.

Lol. I was thinking it was about that. In fairness though, JJ's production setup is wish list material and most pro studios have a very close setup to what he's rocking in terms of conversion, outboard and monitoring.

most engineers are using their earbuds
