New Home Office Audio Setup - Adam Audio T5V Studio Monitors
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- In this video we will take a look at the new audio setup I have built in my home office using the Adam Audio T5V studio monitors and my rather novel way of mounting them. I also used a Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD USB audio interface to connect them to my Caldigit TS3 Plus Thunerbolt 3 docking station.

Wow - great fidelity recording! They sound like they have more bass than my old 8" Samson Rubicon r8a's, too.
The INST button isn't for microphones, it's for guitars (and other other devices which require high impedance inputs). It only applies when using the 1/4inch jack inputs, which can also take a LINE level signal. Microphones should be plugged in via XLR, which bypasses the LINE/INST switch entirely.
I love the speaker placement on VESA mounts!
These monitors definitely deserve a better sound card.
Good job Cameron, clean review!
For the mounting, many of the Genelec models are already set up for VESA mounting, we've used that in some small control rooms. In your case, as long as the desk is solid enough that the speakers won't fall if you knock it, you're probably fine.
Good review and nice desk setup. Isotek stands help clarity in the highs and mids if you have these on a desk. Bit pricey but they work.
Noticing imperfections is a good thing if you are involved in music recording or production.
Having the speakers up at ear level is actually a better position for them. If you ever see pictures or video from inside a recording studio control room you will see the monitors on top of the desk or on stands behind at the same height.
Yes, the tweeter should be at ear/eye level, apparently.
No, not the tweeter. Actually it's the distance from the middle of the tweeter to the middle of the woofer divided by 2. that position should point directly to your ears.
I heard a pair of these a while ago and was very impressed, really excellent for the money. If you have issues with vibration (I think I heard some rattling in the first track at the end) try Sorbothane hemispheres under each speaker. Make sure to use the appropriate hemispheres for the weight of the speakers so as to be within the optimal load. Sorbothane really does work wonders, better than most isolation devices.
Ashley, I have a pair of older M-Audio AV40's, and I am wondering how the Adam's will compare? Are the Adam's harsh and bright for listening pleasure? I dabble in recording and want a decent upgrade.
You made the best Choice out of all Monitors (Class 500 EUR/$). Adam is absolutely awesome :) in Sound, you will not regret. They are well build and look georgeous. The only Thing i would replace is the audio Interface and go for ZOOM UAC-2 with USB 3.0
Cameron, you've entered the rabbit hole, one thing that I would suggest is looking at giving your room the audio treatment monitors like this deserve, at least put some bass traps in the corners (you can make these fairly simply), reflections from hard corners and hard walls completely negate the point in having good monitors. The cheap solution used to be egg boxes stuck to wall (this is often thought to stop the sound escaping and annoying your neighbours, which it doesn't, it's an attempt to deaden the room). Like I said, you've entered the rabbit hole and it's a long journey, have fun :)
Haha, I was definitely considering some sort of noise dampening materials on the walls since I also record videos in the same room
Check out fellow UKer Matt on some DIY ideas that sound like they're as good as bought applications.

Ain't that the truth!
Once you've heard decent sound you can't go back, and suddenly you become very picky.
Heavy sofas best bass traps in the world
If you've not done so already, you'd really benefit from using the DB adjustments on the rear of each speaker to compensate for the acoustics of your room - and the fact that they are mounted close to the wall. The adjustments once done, will help here an even more accurate and balanced sound ;)
speaker stands are genius !!!
I admire your desk, very nice... :P
It is a good idea good job👌
My little BX5s do the job when i need it . This is some nice kit tho , congrats .
the good thing about them having volume knobs is incase the speakers are at slightly different lengths away from you, cant wait to grab these though!
also loved the improvisation for the speaker stands, brilliant idea! i may need to get some baffles/traps as im in student accom, what you you recommend?
Thanks buddy
A couple years ago, i bought some Bang & Olufsen RL6000 speakers from the early 90s for cheap on eBay. After repairing them, i wanted to mount them on a wall. I found original wall mounts on the internet for more than I paid for the speakers and replacement parts combined, each. After closer inspection of the 4 mounting holes, i realized they were exactly 100mm apart. 10 quid later i had 2 VESA 100 mounts and they still hang on the wall to this day.
They include the full address directly on the speaker so you can just slab a package label on them and send them back when they break down :D
Yeah, I can't tell what they sound like because there are too many variables - speaker, zoom, youtube, then through my X32 to my HR828's. What I can tell is that the imaging seems good, and I didn't hear any nastiness. I wouldn't expect the bass response to be great at a bottom of 45Hz (and that's probably the -6db point, so it could be starting to roll off after 80Hz.) And that effect you noticed, where you start to hear things you never did before, that continues as you go up in monitor class too - My Mackie's sound super clear, and then my Genelec's still make me go wow occasionally. Welcome to pro-audio world! Now go make some super-accurate mixes!
Hi Cameron! Love your videos - I was wondering what you do as a day job? Considering a career in tech!
dont use an EQ on these..... I love these speakers. Hence i have them. I do like your speaker stands. Do put some absorb rubbers in them btw.
Thanks for the video, I have the same audio Monitors, I love Them !!!!, I'm looking for an audio monitor stand, and your hady invention looks better for my needs than everything I can buy !!!!! ..... How the Monitor Arm went over the time ?
one thing to check is if the UMC202HD has balanced outs as the 204HD does not, and as such using balanced leads is not generally advised. As for audio quality of the UPHORIA line, there has been tests that have put the HD line against £1000 D/A's and the Behringer has come out on top.
Hi Cameron from Italy. Interesting video. Very interesting your idea for side monitor support stand .
Question: 1- what is the distance between wall and rear of monitor? Adam suggests about 40 cm or more , but I I see well you have 20 cm max, it’s right ? Gave you problem of bass boost or other sound issue ?
Very intervening the listening point where you have put Zoom recorder. Definitively this is a normal listening point not a usual near field position for recording mixing . At what distance from monitor is Zoom recorder ?
Thanks for your work
Listened through my Surround AV Amp and sounded great. Clear and detailed even when recorded like this along with UA-cam in the middle.
Bit early for 2019 Xmas lol
kai wilson Hahaha, thought the same, you beat me to it. I guess Cameron recorded this some month ago and only published now, most likely.
Haha yeah, the first part was recorded shortly before Christmas on the 21st of December. I clearly hadn't thought about the fact that there's no way I'd have had time to finish it before Christmas!
Phantom Power: with most dynamic microphones you’ll be perfectly fine to pass phantom power through them. Some more delicate devices won’t like phantom power, but in general you’ll see it in the documentation.
However... if you use a mini jack to XLR adapter you can do a lovely job of killing your laptop sound card! Can be particularly fun on digital sound desks when recalling a scene that includes phantom power settings
This sounds like you're talking from experience! :P
Oh yeah - killed some poor guy's laptop output dead during a show a few years ago - recalled a scene that wasn't right and thought the input was there and ... bzzt. 48V in the headphone jack. Now I always put a DI box in front.
Chris Cebelenski having seen that, yeah I always check now. Just watching it happen was scary enough for me
@@ChrisCebelenski I usually try to put an interface of some sort between the console and the computer. It sounds better and protects the computer.
Remy Ilian I do too, when it’s my laptop. Unfortunately I’m often faced with a client laptop, and it’s hard to mess with those and change settings and install drivers. A DI is often the best solution.
i find the most accurate and cost effective way evaluating/mixing audio is via reference headphones. you can get a decent pair for around 200, for instance AKG 7xx series.
True, I'm just not a fan of using headphones when I don't have to, especially when I'm just listening to music at my desk while working.
Cameron Gray makes sense, I avoid headphones too when I don‘t have to wear them.
Because these are studio monitors, you are meant to turn them on last after following the output path if you want to avoid the "pop". I live with the same inconvenience as I have a somewhat similar setup.
Yeah, it's a bit of a pain. I find that if I power everything up at once it's fine as the speakers do a "soft start" so they don't pop. Problem is that when I connect/disconnect my laptop from the docking station, it power cycles the USB ports which reboots the interface and causes it to pop. Half tempted to mod the USB cable (or get an external powered hub) so that it gets power from a permanent external supply rather than the dock.
8:44 Oh yeah! I remember ItsMyNaturalColour had one of those stickers on the lid of his previous laptop.
IMNC! :-)
IMNC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where did you get your desk? Just what I'm looking for.
Hi, thank you for your Video. I have just got those speakers, where can I find the monitor stands you have one your setup? Thank you
still use that arm speaker stand?? it's safe enough?? that's looks so goooood to me!
this video took so much confusion off me. I like that you showed how to connect them. I was asking my self how to connect them to your computer. But what is the last silver or grey adapter for you plugged intro your laptop ? As soon as i understand that ill use your affiliate links to buy them.
The final adapter is just a USB-C dongle so I can connect a regular USB-A cable to my MacBook Pro which only has Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports.
Does that Behringer still pop upon powering up? Do you experience any hiss with the interface?
I have a similar setup but I use google play music and it is a lot better than Spotify quality wise
Cameron, What make are the stands you mounted the Monitors on. I’m finding it difficult to find ones that will actually rotate the full 90 degrees to allow the monitors to sit, as yours ! Cheers, Paul.
This is the particular one I used: amzn.to/2ABVy3Q although it looks like a fairly generic item so is probably sold under various different "brands" in different countries, may just need to check for ones that look the same and make sure you can return them if it turns out not to be suitable. I found that generally the cheaper/more basic ones were more likely to support it and the fancier ones were more likely to have a tilt limit.
You should really be using Flacs or DSF's for testing.
(I really hope you properly configured it in OSX MIDI tho so you not on 41Khz because you do notice a major difference at 192Khz)
But Adam Audio speakers and Behringer 202 interface is a good setup for mastering you made a good choice there. (Well for a non-audiophile)
192 khz is over kill, humans can't hear up to that. CDs ripped to Flac files at 41 khz is all you need.
@@sarahwright6833 When doing any audio editing or production you'll notice a difference even if its small.
Does these items you have like yhe audio interface and those cables are they recquired for the T8Vs as well ?
Hello Cameron, are you positive the outputs on the Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD are balanced? I could not find that in the official documention or elsewhere.
From what I could find online they were apparently "impedance balanced" so not fully balanced although I just opened mine up and can see that the "cold" pin is simply connected directly to ground rather than through a resistor that you'd expect with something that's impedance balanced. Not sure if this will still provide at least some sort of interference reduction when connected to a balanced input or not as it's a bit beyond my level of knowledge. With that said, it works fine for my use but if you're doing something where balanced inputs are an absolute must, I'd probably get something with proper balanced outputs or use an external balancing box.
Thank you for the review and the ideas.
I just unboxed AdamT5V. When connected to the iPhone via dual xlr to 3.5 and then lightning to headphone jack converter they sound gorgeous. But, when I tried plugging 3.5 mm to the headphones output on MacBook pro or CaldigitTS3's headphone output I get the high-frequency hiss even without any sound source. The speakers play half the volume and the sound is quite disappointing. Do you think the audio interface (Behringer) will solve the problem? I think the hiss is interference from MacBook pro charging. Any ideas how to make it sound just as well as from the iPhone?
While it may not be the cause of your problem, generally speaking I wouldn't recommend using the XLR inputs on unbalanced sources such as with your setup. XLR inputs are designed for a "balanced" audio signal which has two signal wires used to cancel our interference. From my understanding, if you send an unbalanced signal in (such as that from a 3.5mm jack), you will also get a reduced signal level. You'd likely be better off using a 3.5mm to RCA cables into the unbalanced inputs on the speakers. As for things like hissing, best thing to do is try with the laptop plugged in vs unplugged and see if this makes any difference. Also try without any external peripharels such as monitors as these could also introduce noise. An audio interface may help but you may be able to improve what you currently have without one.
Can't say they sound any better than my crappy PC speakers that I'm listening to this on.
What cables do you use? (Xlr ones)
Great video!
If I remember they're "Stagg" branded, 3m TRS to XLR. No particular reason for going for those particular cables other than that the ones I'd ordered online were majorly delayed in shipping because of the holiday period and the cables I bought were the only ones available in a physical store nearby.
hi friend, can you send me a link to amazon where you could get such cables? thank you
great video Cameron, could you please help me out with the cables, trs cables and send me a link where to order, as I can not find them? I need the same as in your video. Thanks bro!
I bought mine in a physical store so don't have the exact link handy but this looks the same: www.amazon.co.uk/Stagg-NAC3PSXMR-Audio-Cable-Phone/dp/B00JL79U86/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=stagg+trs+xlr+3m&qid=1595192762&refinements=p_76%3A419158031&rnid=419157031&rps=1&sr=8-11 - There's probably other cheaper options out there, you need a Male XLR to 1/4" TRS jack cable. Just make sure that the 1/4" end is actually a proper TRS stereo jack (two black stripes rather than one) to get a balanced signal, a lot of them use mono 1/4" jacks for unbalanced microphones/instruments.etc.
@@camerongray1515 Thanks for your fast reply, appreciate it! :)
SUBSCRIBED and thanks for the video, your speaker stands are nifty, did you glue them or otherwise attach them so´s they can´t get knocked off.. ? :-) I just got two TV5´s as well and am running them straight from my mac mini 3.5mm dock. Does the U-phoria noticeably improve the sound and does anyone know how I could hook up a subwoofer too.. ?
They grip well enough so didn't stick them on although they’re not in a place that people will walk past, if they were in a location that people might be walking past, I'd probably go with something more secure. I definitely noticed slightly better sound quality vs my docking station but not sure how it compares to a Mac Mini's audio output. For a subwoofer, you'd probably want some sort of crossover to separate what goes to the speakers vs the sub, you could either get an external one, or use a sub such as the Adam T10S which has a built in crossover - you connect the sub to your source and then connect the output of the sub to your speakers.
@@camerongray1515 really cool to know this thanks Cameron.. !
They produce some airy high end from how I hear them.
too much for working ? I have the RP5 and i search cool monitors more neutral ....
Where did you buy the cable
i ve got the RP5 and i wanna buy the T5V for more neutral sound .... but in videos it's like they are too much bright (high end) ... is it true ?
They're definitely a lot "brighter" than a lot of other speakers although not in a "tinny" way. I've had similar experiences with other "reference" equipment such as my DT770 headphones. The key thing I've spotted with these is how well defined and clear the highs are, they're' not bright in the sense that they lack bass that other models have, they're more bright in the sense that they have much more precision in the highs which is something that a lot of other models lack. (If that makes any sense at all, it's hard to describe sound!) It takes a bit of getting used to, especially after I'd been used to more consumer focussed equipment which focussed on have strong bass but now that I'm used to them, I genuinely miss the highs when listening to other equipment.
The old audiophile adage - put shit in, get shit out. The interface is just as important as the speakers. I recommend the Focusrite Scarlett range for studio quality at a decent price.
When i turn on this video i think my playing speed was 2x. Omg )))
used to rock the 202HD with my old monitors (insignia bookshelf speakers i picked up from BestBuy for $80 during a promo).
recently i upgraded to the adam T5Vs & an apogee element 24...
massive fucking difference in sound quality.
also, i tested the new monitors with the old behringer interface & there is quite a noticeable difference in terms of the sound quality of audio output as well as recording with the element’s superior converters & mic preamps.
might be worth a look if you want to upgrade ur interface in the future bro.
Wish my set up was as tidy
the pops is normal you have to power the monitors as last, this the fist roule boy.
It's not particularly convenient having to do that since the pops occur every time I dock/undock my laptop - it would be a complete pain having to turn both monitors on and off all the time. What I'll probably do is put a powered USB hub between the dock and Behringer interface, this will ensure that the interface will remain powered up constantly and won't power cycle when I dock/undock the laptop which will stop it popping. The interface will still produce a pop when I first turn on the mains power but it won't be an issue as the speakers do soft start so turning them both on at the same time as the interface will be okay.
How you getting on with the speaker now.... What are they like for general music listening?
hello.. you prefer adam t5v or yamaha hs5 for music producing & recording?
I can't really compare them as I only own the T5Vs
T5V
How are these for listening pleasure? Are they harsh? Too Bright?
Less harsh than the Hs7 from everything I can find online. Will come down to personal preference, but I think these will do fine.
Speakers popped because you had them powered before connecting them to your computer. Common rule is to turn on your speakers and i/o devices /after/ you are set up following the order of your signal path (computer> audio i/o>speakers). Popping your speakers puts them at risk of blowing, and yanno, thats no bueno on a pair of £200 speakers.
Does this caldigit 3 improve sound quality? I want to buy adams t5v and I need something like your behringer um202hd to connect monitors to my laptop, is it good idea or some dac will be better? Regards
The caldigit dock won't have any impact on the sound if you're using it with a USB audio interface, if you're referring to the audio output on the dock itself, it's fine but not nearly as good as a dedicated DAC/interface. As for a DAC vs an interface, the reason I went for the interface is because it has balanced output jacks which are ideal for the T5Vs and should be less prone to interference than having to use unbalanced RCA cables from a DAC. Probably not a huge difference though. The other difference would be if you want inputs as these are usually only on an interface. At its core, an interface IS a DAC in terms of its audio output so it's really down to the quality of the DAC in the interface compared to the DAC in a dedicated DAC.
@@camerongray1515 thanks for answer, you are using mono xlr/jack, or stereo cables? Because i don't know which one should I buy
Ideally you'd want to get "stereo" cables (or more precisely those with a TRS jack, the one with 2 stripes on the plug) as this will carry a balanced signal and therefore reduce interference
did you left them on 0 on the back pannel volume control? they are kinda weak even when i put full volume on the same audio interface.
even tho im using the bigger t7v version
When I ran them directly from the interface I did have the gain on the back of each speaker increased slightly. I've since started using a small Behringer Q502USB mixer between the interface and the speakers as a way to quickly connect other devices which has a much more powerful output than the interface itself, so much so that I've had to drop the gain on each speaker to below 0db (they're now in the 12 o'clock position) to give me more range on the volume control.
I got the same problem,running Audient Evo 4,do you think is the output of the interface?Evo 4 output at 11 dbu and Universal Arrow at +20.7.
@@morerate435 bro what i did since then is just blast them on full volume on controls on monitor and use volume knob on my interface just as normal volume knob..you will get a bit of hiss but its fine
@@stigm1318 I see, I did the same thing.Is what Adam recommended if you interface have low output.Thanks for the head up Im still going to purchase Apollo Solo later on.
The output of my interface was fine although it's wasn't particularly powerful. However, I later added in a small 5 channel mixer (Behringer Q502USB) between the interface and the T5Vs to allow me to connect more devices and found that this gives a significantly louder output so something like this could potentially be an option. That said, turning up the gain on each speaker would be your first port of call unless it causes a noise issue.
I have mine plugged in balanced to my audio interface but I wanted to also be able to use these as regular desktop monitors without my audio interface. I bought 2 rca cables and then plugged them into a Y cable with the other end being a traditional 3.5mm jack to go into my computer. There is a significant amount of noise, not sure if it's the cables or it's because they are unbalanced. I also noticed that the RCA cable does not go all the way into the RCA jack like on other products I've had. Any suggestions?
I'd try a different cable and see if it's that although being unbalanced will make it more prone to interference, even moreso if this is a long cable which I presume it will be to go to both speakers. I'd also try a different device on the 3.5mm end, ideally one that's running on battery power to eliminate it being any sort of ground loop issue. I've previously encountered a ground loop issue when connecting a Pioneer DJ controller to the speakers over RCA cables when my laptop is powered through my docking station. I've used an RCA cable without such issue so it's not a blanket issue with the T5V's RCA jacks at least. I ended up putting a cheap 5 channel mixer in between my interface and the speakers - means I can keep everything connected with balanced connections and can easy connect inputs to this mixer and adjust levels.
@@camerongray1515 thanks! Which 5 dollar mixer did you purchase?
@@ledzep20 The mixer I used was a Behringer Q502USB although it was 5 *channel* rather than $5, probably costs around $80.
@@camerongray1515 ooh lol all good. I actually have a behringer mixer myself. I'll give it a shot and see how that goes. Thanks again!
should i get this audio interface or a behringer mixer?
Suppose depends on what you are doing, the mixer has the benefit of allowing you to combine multiple sources.etc but if you want to use the USB on the mixer as an input you'd need to be aware that it will record any sound passing through the mixer, this includes audio that you are playing from your computer so if you were to try and record a microphone while playing music, the recording would contain both the microphone and the music. On the other hand the interface has totally independent inputs and outputs. Personally I use both, I have the interface to connect everything with my computer over USB then feed that into a mixer to allow me to add in other sources and then connect the output of the mixer into the speakers.
Hey (help)! Cool video! I've watched it a couple of times and just purchased the Adam T7V's to connect to a Behringer UMC404HD. Problem is.... the sound is too quiet. I've had to level up both the monitor's (up to 3/4 or 75%) and the interface volume levels (also 3/4 or 75"%) and I still have to increase the imac's volume levels to almost the maximum (90%) to get some nice playback sound (not loud, just enough to hear the music with some impact - I never play music too loud). Can anyone help?
i'm over a UMC202HD i'm kind of in the same situation... but the volume level is good enough to me, my levels went better when I upgrade to Big Sur, same for my mic levels from the audio interface, but yes, I was expecting to use the monitors on Zero, but i'm over that.... 75% on the 3 levels (interfase, computer and Monitors) ..... which is a lot in my opinion.... should be less
what is the name of the cables you use for the speakers?
They're referred to as 'TRS 1/4" jack to male XLR' cables, the particular ones I used are "Stagg" brand but other brands are available.
ADAM T5V OR JBL 305P MKII ? I NEED BETTER STUDIO MONITORS FOR MAKING ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC

Do you have to plug both speakers in a socket for power or just one and the 2nd becomes slave monitor ??
They both need power, they essentially operate as totally independent speakers, there's no connection between the two of them.
@@camerongray1515 I thought so. So how do they pair in stereo sound is it through the audio interface ? Otherwise if you only plug one cable it will be mono or 1 channel ? Sorry I'm kinda new in this area, I want to buy a set a quality speakers but I'm.just worried that I might be short in power sockets for the second speaker . Thanks for responding.
The audio interface I use has separate jacks for the left and right speakers so you just connect one speaker to each connector. If you wanted to feed them directly from a 3.5mm jack you'd need some sort of 3.5mm to RCA splitter then run an RCA cable from that to each speaker.
@@camerongray1515 thank for the response
turn your soundcard on before you turn your speakers on, it will stop it popping
It does but I'd rather not have to worry about that - I have everything connected to a docking station and want to be able to just plug that into my laptop and have it work without having to switch various things on and off every time. What I think I'll look into is seeing if I can power the interface from an external power supply rather than the dock using a modded USB cable. That way the interface will power up at the same time as the speakers (rather than when I dock the laptop) and therefore won't pop due to the soft start of the speaker's amps.
How do I setup a subwoofer with these speakers?
Easiest way would probably be to use an active subwoofer with a built in crossover - run the audio from your interface into the sub then run cables from the outputs of the sub's crossover to the monitors. Either that or you'd be looking at some sort of external line level crossover device.
how would you connect a sub to these?
You would need to use some sort of external crossover
hmm very nice monitors? i thought they were speakers :)
they're studio monitor speakers, hence monitors :-P

Where did you get that table bro?
Which one? The desk is an IKEA Galant and the white table I was filming on is just a cheap IKEA one.

Yeah, IKEA Galant, the shelf under the monitors is separate, it's literally an IKEA shelf in matching wood with 4 kitchen cupboard legs attached to it!

What monitors are they ?
They're Hazro HZ27WB - 27" 2560x1440 IPS monitors. I still like them but they're probably about 7 years old at this point and haven't been made in many years.
track name???
GOOD CHOICE. thooose ribbon tweeters. you'll never listen to high-hats the same ever again.
I'm really impressed with the difference, I wasn't expecting much since I tend to listen to pretty bass heavy music but it definitely makes a noticeable difference!
I messed up, I bought rca cables, but it's not the right ones because it needs left and right for each speaker, I forgot about that when I bought the rca cables, and I have no idea what to do now
What cable do you have and what sort of source are you using? You can usually split RCA cables fairly easily by pulling the two plugs apart or alternatively you could run both the left and right to one speaker, connect one of them to that speaker, then use a coupler and another RCA cable to extend the other channel across to the other speaker.
@@camerongray1515 I got the "AudioQuest Golden Gate" RCA.
I will be using a toslink, it's also from AudioQuest.
My plan is to connect a toslink to my TV and then connect it to the DAC I ordered from Amazon - the Topping E30, and then RCA from the DAC to the monitors.
And I don't think I can split it, since it has that thing that protects it :/
About the second alternative, I didn't quite get it
Yeah, doesn't look like you can separate that, your only option would to either be to buy a cable you can split, buy another cables for the second speaker and use the one you have for only one of them or buy another cables and a coupler to extend the cable between the speakers. With this you would use a coupler to essentially join another cable onto the one you have to extend it from behind one speaker onto the other one

I need these monitors to actually listen what you are saying...
why use a behringer interface for such amazing monitors.... its specs aren't all that great.... upgrade to a focusrite 2i2... it literally measures better in every way, distortion, jitter, frequency response and it handles higher sampling rates... its also far quieter... it doesn't cost much more either...
I was on a budget and the Behringer interface was "fine" while keeping me under budget, while the Focusrite is definitely better, it's literally twice the price. The Behringher was a "good enough" option that let me get these higher end monitors while remaining within my budget. Unfortunately I don't have an infinite amount of money for these sorts of things.
I am not into Audio, but I will post this to YT anyway, I need views and subs
play some flac files
PewDiePie would hate this video as there was a mention of a T SERIES 🤣🤣 Great video as per usual!!
JBL is not an option uf u looking for true sound. All their products.
Why is my name so popular letsss go all Cameron Gray"s
Spotify is awful. Apple Music is far better or go the whole way and use somewhere with flac files.
I'll need to give various services a go however I only want to pay for one so whatever I go for needs to do everything I need. In particular I'm a constant user of Spotify's curated playlists. I don't really want to have to deal with my own music library - most of my listening is at work or when I'm traveling so I'd really want to avoid having to constantly transfer files all over the place and create playlists.
t series
They must be bad because they say t series on the box
not "bad", just the entry level product from an otherwise very expensive, high end highly regarded brand

Niuuuuu. That Behringer has teeerrible sound output. So noisy and muddy.
the sound is like 1$ china earphones.
They absolutely sound a lot better than that, what are you listening to this video on? You won't get the full quality through a UA-cam video, then the sound you'll hear will only be as good as the speakers/headphones you are listening on. The quality of recording and my room acoustics will also play into it. As I mentioned, you can't really judge the quality of speakers from a video.
Why are you listening on 1$ china headphones?
Wow, I had to listen 5 times 😮 If you are making more videos, remember to talk slowly! Of course you have an accent, that is not it, but in this video you speak way too fast
I hear T series, I dislike.
