We got new studio monitors and stands for the first time! Our previous ones are around 25 years old. Here is the process of unboxing, assembling, and setting up the new gear. Enjoy!
I really like those Sound Anchor stands. Tough price to swallow, but nice. I have the previous A77Xs and I'm using the K&M 26720 monitor stands with an 8" x 9.5" (205 x 245 mm) top plate. K&M has a newer version... the K&M 26722 with a wider top plate 11" x 12.5" (280 x 320 mm).
Can you hear a slight hiss from the tweeter? I do hear it from 5 or even 7 feet slightly, like a white noise, and level of hiss arises with rising volume control at the back, and lowers with lower volume. Nothing connected to speaker. Could you be so kind to check, does your pair hisses to?
I can't say that I've had that problem at all. The noise coming from the monitors is very minimal and definitely can't hear it from my listening position.
@@thesolutionband hey, i appreciate your answer. Mine do hiss audibly form over 3 meters, it is not very loud. Would you be so kind to check, is noise is getting louder when you turn volume up, at the back of monitor? I quess some people with diffrent hearing, might not notice it. Anyway for me it is distracting, so I arranged exchange for new pair with adam audio. I hope the will not hiss. All best.
I really like those stands - seen them for the first time. However, I did not find any information with regard to the ADJ-1 only ADJ-2... so, are the ADJ-2 the bigger/stronger ones? Here in Germany, I did not see any offer for ADJ-1 at all, only the ADJ-2. Any thoughts?
The calibration is actually stored in the monitor. So in my case that’s my default setup, so I can just turn them on and go. If I want to run a different calibration I can select it on the back of the speaker or in the A Control software. So in other words, when I’m using my computer for audio, SoundID is not even open most of the time.
@@thesolutionband thanks. I have been wishing for a cost efficient way to run my sound Id without the need to use it in standalone or plugin version. I’m ordering a pair now
i'm looking into ADJ-1 vs ADJ-2 for some ATC 25As.. they are a bit heavier and 'deeper' than the A77s... do you have any sense as to whether i could get away with ADJ-1? according to sound anchor's site i should technically go with the ADJ-2 but i'm wondering how much of a difference that will make
So I bought the Argosy Speaker Stand 420xi w/ IsoAcoustics instead because my supplier didn't have stock for another 3 months... They are awesome! (and half the price)
@@thesolutionband that’s one thing I really like about them. But also heard great things about the Neumann kh120ii and a little cheaper. But the Adam’s definitely look sexier
I have not tested them. I don’t have anywhere here that carries them unfortunately. I went with the A77h mostly because the form factor fit my room better.
@@thesolutionband I’m the reverse! I’ve tested the a8h and not the a77h haven’t found them in LA to test.. interested in them because the S3h are some of the best speakers I’ve heard ever hopefully these come close to that
