JK is just an all around good German dude. isn’t he? Efficient and precise when explaining things. One of the true go to professors of audio at You Tube University. Thanks Julian!
Agreed. He's actually a great representation in human form of what quality German Engineering looks & acts like; Simple yet thorough/quality, precise & ACCURATE...all while keeping ego out of the equation. Results speak for themselves. Taught me & no doubt many more A LOT without coloring or obstructing the process with any & all of the ultra-annoying, way too common wasteful fluff & opinion UA-cam is SO over-loaded with. LOL Just stating as I see and have experienced it watching & learning from his videos. Quite gratefully at that I will add:)
Great, simple yet thorough & precise ACCURATE info... as I've grown to learn is what Julian provides in every one of his videos. He's become my go-to UA-cam Pro-Audio Home Studio teacher/professor. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us, Julian! Sincerely.
I got a couple of speakers, and I had these questions... I was so relieved to see that you made a video about this and it did not disappoint! All clear now.
Extremely useful - as always. It's so nice you take the time to explain the topics in detail and don't gloss over basics. I've worked with music (as a hobbyist) for 20 years and I find that there are so many basics that you never take the time to set up correctly. I found that my right monitor had different EQ and volume setting and the tip about adjusting the volume was a game changer. Now most of the amplification comes from my audio interface, and not the speakers - which has audibly reduced the noise. So good!
So great full for this well done tutorial. You're the perfect german engineering: precise, simple and reliable. Thanks to you i was able to make mines works. No frustrations, just results. Greatings from Paris of your newest Brazilian fan ;)
Using Bias FX 2 and everything sounded like garbage. At wit's end and decided to turn to UA-cam for help. I come across this and he's using the same Interface and same exact monitors. What are the odds? now everything sounds great :) thank you for sharing :)
Julian you are one of the only fully objective channels on youtube Superb work, keep it up, but two suggestions; 01. A frequency response graph of the interfaces 02. An phase canceled, original input audio vs preamps input, to see if the system does change the audio in other ways other than frequamcy and resonance.
OMG SOOO helpful, thank you! Just invested in some beautiful Focal Solo6 BE's, SO stoked to hook these up and get listening! Thanks again, watching from Toronto.
What about the volume on your OS (windows), DAW and software (spotify/youtube)? If your DAC is maxed is it safe to increase to software volumes? Or should the software volumes be set to 100% from the start and then to only control volume knobs from your gear, DAC + amp or speaker? Also can you make a video on how volume affects watt used by the amp? e.g. if I have a 1000watt amp with a volume knob and set it to 1% volume will it use 10watts? and if I turn up the PC audio from 50% to 100% will it now use 20watts as the DBs went up by e.g. +3.
Hi Julian! Thanks for your hands-on tutorial! After I tried your setings I am still facing significant mike bleeding - since my podcast set up is always on the go, in various places with my interviewee sitting just 1,5 meters away from me. Do you have tips on how to kill the mike bleed effectively in post-production without experiencing cut-off sentences due to lower volumes there? Thanks a lot!
We have a mixer for all our instruments. The mixer out cable goes to each of the powered monitor speakers. My problem is: the back of the powered monitor uses an XLR output (male i think) that i would like to connect to the A/D input on my Montage synthesizer. I tried using a standard mic cable, connecting the male end to the back of the monitor's out jack (XLR) but my keyboard only takes 1/4 inch as input to the A/D input. I used a dongle/converter to convert the XLR female end of the mic cable to a 1/4 inch jack and plugged that input the mono port on the A/D input for my synth. I turned on the A/D button on my Montage synth and raised the gain. I then connected my headphones to my synth via 1/4 inch jack. My purpose was to better hear the mix coming out of the monitor in my headphones by chaining the output of the powered monitor to my keyboard so I could better adjust the mix volume in my headphones so I could hear my vocals more clearly in the overall mix. No sound from the monitor can be heard (but I can hear myself playing the keyboard). Do I need to buy a dedicated XLR (male) to balanced 1/4 inch cable? Perhaps my cabling isn't right? Thoughts? Thanks.
Very nice video and very well explained. I just bought a pair of krk monitors, do i need an interface or i can ise a normal dac like the ifi zen2? I don't use microfons or other instruments. I wil really appreciate your advice.
good and helpful video :D i'm in the process of purchasing an audio interface for recording voice overs and i wondered which cables to buy for my small studio monitors, which i already have (they're running atm with a 3,5 mm to 2x6,35 mm cable directly from my mainboard soundcard). This prevented me from buying the TS cables and maybe having some problems setting everything up (maybe shorting the outputs).
I’ve noticed the volume from my actual computer will manipulate the overall output going to the interface and then to the monitors. What should i set the volume from the computer? Will this make a difference?
Good morning. Loved watching your video but being of weak knowledge in this subject I couldn't fully understand. It was very informative for me to hear you describe how to set up the volume levels on the monitors and interface. I would like to know whether this will affect the volume of my recording because I have a very low voice and have to set up the gain levels of the input quite high to have a 'decent' recording that has to be given effects for pushing up the volume further. In case you have any other video describing how to set the gain of the input source in relation to the monitoring volumes, I'd be glad to watch them. Thanks for this video that will help me do better recording:). Have a nice day. Regards Dr. Somanna
Aww, I was hoping for your insights of connecting those passive speakers to an interface. I'm thinking of trying out a different setup. Been using studio monitors for years, but maybe something like the KEF LS50 might be fun to experiment? Not sure how that goes from the interface to the amp to the speakers. I hope you can give some insights. :)
Quick question, for the Scarlett solo, I know it only has one adjustment knob, but let’s say I only wanna hear the sound only coming from the headphones instead of the studio monitors, would that mean I would have to disconnect them or is there another way ? I know the 2i2 is good for something like this but I wanted to make sure if it was still possible for the solo as well, thank you and have a good day!
Thanks a lot for the explanation! I have a pair of quested s7 monitors that only have an xlr in, i was hoping to simply use them as pc speakers, do i need an inteface for better sound or should i just find a pair of xlr/3.5 jack cables, what do you think?
Hi Julian, Thanks for all these videos! I checked my studio monitor's connection and unfortunately, they are connected in ts jack format in my interface, and in xlr on my studio monitor (i use an adptator cable on each monitor, from xlr to jack ts). I suppose i have to buy new cables in trs..........does my actual system makes me loose in audio outpout quality? I would be happy to have en answer if you have a moment. Best regards from France MLB
Which input do I choose (RCA or Optical Toslink) when connecting an audio interface with TRS (M-Audio Track Duo) output to a speaker in order to obtain greater volume power?
@@PingWine What do you mean by "Windows audio". I assume you mean the main Windows sound control volume @100%? But there's also the volume for whatever player you're producing the sound from. For example, if I'm watching UA-cam, I can adjust the volume slider. Should this UA-cam audio slider be at 100% as well (all the way to the right?). The end volume is greatly affected by where I set the UA-cam player volume. The same applies to music players (e.g. iTunes), or a movie player's volume (e.g. VLC player).
Awesome video! I was just wondering, I have pair of EDIFIER R1700BT bookshelf speakers, these speakers are active monitors and only have 2 RCA outs. Will it be safe for me to plug these active speakers into the back of the RCA output on my Motu M2? I'm kinda worried about damaging any components.
Hi...Great video ! I learned alot ! I just hooked up my Focusrite 2i2 Gen3 and it connects using USB C connector on 2i2 then to a standard USB A on the computer. Does it matter if I connect to USB 2.0 on my computer or USB 3.0 ? Thanks !!
I recently got a motu m2. Your review is what made me purchase it! When you have both the monitor and headphones plugged in to interface, is it possible to have separate outputs? For example: I want to listen to music from the monitors but have discord output to headphones while both being plugged to the audio interface
Hi. Is there anyway to get RCA output to a box of sorts which will convert the RCA signal to a balanced XLR input? Can't seem to find any info about it. Thanks.
Very informative video, thanks for the effort you put into making it Julian! I'm new to using specialized audio equipment, and was hoping you could help me solve an issue I have regardoing connecting my bose companion 20 speakers to a motu m2 interface. The companion 20 have only one 3.5mm input on the speakers, and since I want to be able to connect my headphones to the interface at the same time, I wanted to use either of the outputs at the back to connect the speakers. Which would be the better choice in your opinion? After some research I've found that I could use either a 3.5mm male to dual male RCA cable, or a 3.5mm male to dual TS mono cable. I believe RCA is stereo but unbalanced and the TRS 1/4" outputs for the m2 are balanced, and I was not sure about using unbalanced mono TS cables here either. I would really appreciate your expertise in this matter, thank you in advance!
Thank you for the very useful video. My question for anyone to answer is I have an audio interface with multi-channel inputs and it has a mixer dial. Should I let the mixer stay in the mid position where it mixes other inputs (actually most of the time I'm not using instruments or microphone input) or should I turn it all the way to the side of output of monitors alone? Thanks
Two questions: If I have the monitors connected, and I also have the headphones connected to the interface, will they both play or I have to disconnect one? Second: Do I have to turn off the studio monitors/interfaces when I'm done using them or they will still suck electricity even if not used?
Hi, great video. Quick question if I use a DJ mixer and use only one studio monitor in order for it to record in stereo do i need to connect both inputs from mixer to interface or is it ok just to use one? Thanks
Very informative video. Am I allowed to ask you a question please? I am using Logic Pro as my recording software, along with Focusrite 3Rd gen. When I try to play back the recording I'm only getting output from the right speaker and only very faint playback from the left speaker. Is this a software problem in the interface or the Logic Pro please? Thanks
Are audio interfaces making the sound quality better on your monitor speakers? I just got the Presonus Eris 3.5 and I am not happy with the quality but then again what did I expect for that price...Should I buy an audio interface for them?
I have a question... Is the cable XLR Male to RCA is going to change the quality of the speakers, especially if the speakers I am buying have a balanced entrance? Is it going to sound as great as quarter inch TRS cable? Thank you!
can I use regular audiospeakers? my goal is to just listen to best quality audio as sound output coming from my regular amp is not that good, if I use headphones from my multi effects its good but if from am its not, what do you think?
Julian, I have a Focusrite Scarlett Solo with only unbalanced RCA outputs. On the other side, I have a pair of Presonus Eris 4.5 which have both balanced and unbalanced inputs. What do you recommend to use? Is it better to do Focusrite RCA L & R outputs to Presonus RCA L & R inputs or should I go to the balanced L & R inputs? Thanks!
Hi JK! I have a question, I heard some people talk about reduced dynamic range and SNR with digital volume control of audio interfaces. Does the DAC performs better if the output volume sits at 0dBFS? And then control the monitors volume with a passive or active monitor controller. What's your opinion on that? Thank you
What do I do if I have also plugged in my headphones into the audio interface. That way the sound volume on my headphones is quite high.. What do you recommend then, any advice? It would be also helpful if I could easily switch between my headphones and my monitors.. but there does not seem any easy hardware solution for that, does it?
JK is just an all around good German dude. isn’t he? Efficient and precise when explaining things. One of the true go to professors of audio at You Tube University. Thanks Julian!

It would be nice one in which you explain the different EQ settings on the back of monitors and how to adjust them. Great video Julian!
Thank you for the correction Julian.
@@JoeJacksonJr Thank you for pointing it out :)
Please upload how to record drum thankyou
You didnt say if you need to turn off the monitors before plug the cables ?
Incredible! That video vanished all my doubts about interface to monitors conection.

Julian... I'm fascinated by your choice of studio monitors, those KEF's in particular. Can you expand on your preference for them?
Really cool tutorial. If all tutorial video would be like this. Everybody could an audiospecialist be.
Thanks for the helpful tips.You're are doing a great service to us especially the beginners.Can't wait for my first set up to arrive.
only place on the internet ive been able to find the answer to my question about why to use +4dBu THANK YOU

Another awesome video -- just what I needed! You even had the courtesy to be demonstrating on the exact JBL monitors I just bought!!!
Quite a wealth of knowledge in a tight 6 minute package. This was ridiculously helpful thanks!
Excellent explanation by a knowledgeable musician. Dankeschön !
Thank you Julian, this is exceptionally helpful!
Love the informative videos. Easy in, easy out. Keep it up! Thank you.
Very useful. Wish this was around when I started out.
...Julian for president...👍😜😁 Straightforward explanation.
Hi...Great tutorial btw.
Could you name or link the music playing at the end 5:41?
Thank you thank you thank you. And I thought this would teach me nothing. I was using unbalanced trs to xlr and I didn’t know it! No more hums I hope!

I’ve noticed the volume from my actual computer will manipulate the overall output going to the interface and then to the monitors. What should i set the volume from the computer? Will this make a difference?
on me I know exactly what you mean doin the same thing to me pissin me off
if you use a interface for controlling the volume anyway, then you can keep the Windows sound on 100% and only regulate with the interface
Would you consider reviewing the Mackie Big Knob Studio or Studio+ Interface?? Great tutorial on a basic setup by the way.

Julian Krause can you do a video for Computer noise interference due to speaker cables and power adapter plugs?
What if your speakers have no volume? Is a DAC needed, or is the the Scarlett 8i6 DAC?

great man...was looking for some video like this. Thanks buddy.
So is there any risks using a TS jack from a Behringer UMC22 to an RCA speaker? Manual does not seem to specify that
Thank you for this video. May I ask what audio recording software do you use?
Two questions: If I have the monitors connected, and I also have the headphones connected to the interface, will they both play or I have to disconnect one?
Second: Do I have to turn off the studio monitors/interfaces when I'm done using them or they will still suck electricity even if not used?

I'm confused found cables on amazon they 2 1/4 male plugs to one 3.5 stereo male . They all say trs balanced but don't have the extra ring
Do I plug the interface into my gaming monitor? Or into the ps5? I’m guessing the headphone jack in the monitor but I have no idea

Thanks for your guide. It seems like a very basic stuff, but it's extremely usefull if you buy your 1st pair of monitor's like me :)
So trs and xlr are both good if they are balanced? there is no difference in sound quality or hiss/hum?
Julian, I have a Focusrite Scarlett Solo with only unbalanced RCA outputs. On the other side, I have a pair of Presonus Eris 4.5 which have both balanced and unbalanced inputs. What do you recommend to use? Is it better to do Focusrite RCA L & R outputs to Presonus RCA L & R inputs or should I go to the balanced L & R inputs? Thanks!
Thanks Julian! Great Video!

Hi JK! I have a question, I heard some people talk about reduced dynamic range and SNR with digital volume control of audio interfaces.
Does the DAC performs better if the output volume sits at 0dBFS? And then control the monitors volume with a passive or active monitor controller.
What's your opinion on that?
