    Great video, just a heads up Neutrik in their assembly instructions for the NP3X line of connectors recommends breaking off the tip of the plastic chuck, the one that you show at 26:10, when you are using it with a cable with a diameter greater than 5.5mm or .216", the Mogami Neglex is a 6mm outer diameter sized cable so you would want to break it off. You can find the detailed instructions on Neutriks product page for the NP3X connector.

    Honestly, you'll be better off with leaded solder. Something like Kester 44. Soldering does NOT produce lead fumes. Leaded solder is far more forgiving, and, in my experience, longer lasting -- lead free tends to be brittle, and requires higher temps to solder well. Also, no need for the quad cable. Mogami W2549 or W2552 works great, and is designed for this application. Try a pair of cheap hemostats (or medical needle holders) to hold your wire while soldering.

    Before you twist the copper ground strands together , separate them in two bunches. Twist them together once so that you have a twisted section next to the rubber and two groups of strands. Then tin them where they're twisted. Then you can cut one bunch off and have a smaller lead to solder.

A KRK is built to a certain price point, which encompass cheaper components in the internal cross over and connection post, that hold residual energies and cause image-smearing ETC The BAREFOOTS have higher grade components and an actual built in sub system that is not only designed with 2 drivers, which increase surface area and therefor more air being moved in your room, but are situated [ just like we position subs on arena shows] #BOTH whereon a per-channel you use 2 subs to cancel each other out, so you get SUB but not the build up in that position and those subs are OFF THE GROUND and in mix position! *FYI: when you purchase an external subwoofer for the studio YOU SUBS SHOULD NEVER EVER BE ON THE GOD DAMN FLOOR UNDER THE DESK!!!!!

    Has it fallen off yet? ...I'd friendly suggest that even using a cheap "strip" or "panel" of MDF or pine as a buffer layer. Mount the "Hanging Arms' of the tray mechanism to that strip/panel ***Using BOLTS*** - instead of two screws each side into the underside of your desks table-top. Then, wood glue and screw through the panel, joining the panel itself to the underside of the table-top, using as many screws as you like 'til you feel comfortable it's sturdy enough. Idk... I would feel confident slamming out Beethoven's No.5 with just 2 vertical screws either side lol

      @LCRLive687 2 місяці тому

      @@Semyon_Music they don't make their own drivers. At least not when I investigate this model. They are using what look like 35 dollar 4" Dayton reference aluminum cone drivers (not a well dampened material) with phase pole and what looks like 20 dollar mediocre bright sounding Peerless ring radiator tweeter that I don't like the sonic effects of and they are anything but clinical reference. The box is only 35 pounds which to me is a joke for a monitor that costs 5G. That 35 pounds includes all the drivers and subs, the cabnet and the tri-amplifier and processor made by Hypex. Hypex does good work. They also make the plate amps and processors in other brands and various other monitors that are whey cheaper. The dual firing woofer are a gimmicky way to get "fuller" bass, the woofer is spaced too far from the tweeter for near field, there is no waveguide for the tweeter to address baffle diffraction. A 4 inch woofer will not have a satisfying midrange as many are complaining about. They say they simulate other monitors and they say they do it without EQ but by changing the crossover settings in the active network. Thats still an EQ change because of FIR filter adjustment. Thats a very artificial thing to do with a speaker because it alters its flattest timbre it was designed for after its already supposed to be engineered for one FIR filter setting for its flattest setting so all the other modes other than flat mode on a Barefoot are a gimmick. Adam gets monitors with FIR filters specifically engineered at one setting for their models which are calibrated and engineered in a very specific way in an anechoic facility in germany. Adam audio manufactures their own drivers, their own woofers, their own dome woofers, and their own state of the art ribbon tweeters designed for extended periods of listening to avoid ear fatigue while having a very natural sound that's open and detailed colored grain-free sound because of how it moves air and is not contrived by the effect of what radiator ring tweeters to do crush and distort air. I find the sound of even my entry level T-series Adams to be much better than Barefoot. I also own the A7V which to me sounds light year better. I would like to own the A8H and also some S series models and their 2100 sub. That stuff is on another level.

      @roderickmims4802 I don’t because there is enough acoustic treatment in the room where there are basically no reflections. I just use a pop filter on the mix. Reflection shields sometimes create more problems but amplifying unwanted frequencies so it’s better to just have a treated room

James said it might becoming from my ceiling since I don't have much up there and I cant fit all of my panel on the corner either. Do you record right under one of your traps on the ceiling?

      @roderickmims4802 definitely you need lots of coverage on the ceiling. I have four 6 inch thick panels on the ceiling and that fixed my boxy low end problem. Specifically, the A note frequency was so amplified without the ceiling clouds

      @@Semyon_Music as i wrote, tip choice is bad, in fact cone tip which comes default with almost everything is one of least useful tip shapes and i never use it. for most things including cables i prefer C or cf series tip, which is super easy to keep clean and has large flat contact area, holds a lot of solder exactly where you need it. Second thing when you want to solder(heat) a joint tip has to have some solder on it to make proper contact, and using even more when joint is tough and will wick solder away to prevent iron tip from loosing proper contact. You used cone tip (B series) which never has solder where you need so what happened in the video is quite expected. also, i prefer to have least amount of stipped wire in the connectors, because some connectors have to be made that way or cable wont fix in locking mechanism

      @@Semyon_Music Thank you for your response. I want to simultaneously record two signals in my DAW Logic. 1. Processed with UAD Unison + Inserts (wet), 2.Unprocessed signal going only through Unison Preamp and nothing else (dry). Nothing to do with verbs. The unprocessed signal is for safety only so that I may be able to change it later if required. I was wondering if there is a way to record them both by just soft patching within UAD console or maybe a physical patch. I am new to the UAD world. Thank you for the help. :) P.s I do have an RME Fireface as well but want to use the unison preamps.

    So thanks to your review I decided to get the Footprint 02's and for anyone wondering, there really is a depth to music that you have never heard until you get into the higher range of speakers. It's almost not fair that most people have never heard how good music can actually sound. Speakers like the HS8's, while decent for what they are, just squash everything together into a flat 2-D pancake of sound (much like any car stereo or home stereo system). These, however, show you a depth to music that just doesn't exist on cheaper monitors - BUT - and here's the caveat - that's IF everything was recorded and mixed well (ie - this '3D' effect is really apparent on older, well-recorded music - think 70s, 80's, 90's - than the typical dynamic-free crushed modern stuff you get today). I have never been a classic rock fan, but put on something like a Bowie record from the 70's or the first Black Sabbath record and the depth you will hear is just unreal. It honestly makes you rethink what sonic characteristics you value out of music. With that being said, I would never give up the HS8s because what comes out of the Barefoots is in no way representative of what most people hear. So in a way it's a bit of a trade off. You make a beautiful-sounding record on nice speakers, and that depth will most likely get totally lost everywhere else. But hey, it's all part of the fun and mystery of music-making. Thanks for the review! Although I have never heard the Footprint 01, for the 02 you're evaluation is pretty much spot on!

    • @Semyon_Music
