Hi all
I've just moved to Germany and am still setting up my new studio.
While its insanely quick and easy to buy gear here I was thinking of
rolling my own studio monitors (with the help of a very handy
father-in-law)
Has anyone here done this and is it possible to do this oneself?
Some plans/specifications would go a long way (or should I not
bother)
Well, I'm sure it's possible given the right amount of knowledge
and
craftiness, and I'm sure pundits on this list will point you the right
way. I just wanted to say that monitors, unlike regular loudspeakers,
should be calibrated (to be flat) and that might be time-consuming and
require additional instruments (though, of course, you'd have gear
tailored specifically to your environment at the end). I guess my
concern would be to make sure it doesn't end up costing as much as
buying a ready-made commercial solution.
Let us know how you make out.
cheers,
