hey, i am currently trying to decide between these two different speakers,

http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/1100...nitor-spe.html

http://www.andertons.co.uk/active-mo...GoogleShopping

i dont need it to be very loud at all just clear and accurate sound representation to use to practise djing , i like the look of the hercules more but ive seen a lot of people recommend the m audio , also i will be getting my new controller soon ( reloop terminal mix 4 ) and wondered what cables i need to hook it up to either of these speakers, my 5.1 home cinema system downstairs, and giant ass speakers i can rent or happen to be in the place im playing and also what i would need if i was playing in a place where a mixer isnt avalible to plug through, i want to know i have the correct cables no matter what situation in basically!

There are definitely better/flatter monitors available than KRKs, but I like my RP5s for DJing.

You'll need a pair of 1/4" TRS to 1/4" TRS cables in whatever length you feel like using.
well this is what i thought, at this level (lets say

25.05.2012		They were MA-8s.



They're not "good" by any stretch of the imagination, but they did exactly what they needed to and worked better than my computer speakers.
Danae Dumler
25.05.2012		How big? Likely the MA-7 or 8s I was talking about, they're out of production ... Sadly they don't make any that small anymore that I know of but the MA15s are still a pretty good deal.
Dorie Scelzo
24.05.2012		My first "monitors" were little Roland things that nem0nic gave me one weekend. I passed them on to another new DJ at some point. But they definitely got the job done.

Wish I had a clue what the model numbers were.
Danae Dumler
23.05.2012		In that price range I'd go lower too, though maybe not the cheapest computer speakers you can find. Look for used Roland/Edirol/Cakewalk MA-series monitors; I got a pair of MA-8s for $70 years ago and they are still solid performers though they're not very loud. I believe you can get brand new MA-15s for like $150; those should be better than the MA-8s that I have.

I have used M-Audio Bx5s or whatever that is; they are decent but those are already double the price range you're at.
Dorie Scelzo
23.05.2012		I see audioengine a2s for 150quid. They're not bass heavy, but they're decent speakers.

Seriously, though, at that point, I'd probably buy the cheapest computer speakers I could find and work on saving up a bit.

23.05.2012		Well that budget really doesn't buy you a whole lot. Personally I believe those M-Audios are junk even for DJing (I know someone who has them), but you really won't find much within that budget. You might be able to find some used KRK rokkit 5s or 6s on craigslist or something.
