      @Pete-S those little Mackie monitors are pretty sweet for the price. I'm looking at adding a pair to the current recording studio setup (or maybe the next size up).

      Yes, it's a remarkable amount of monitor for the price.

      There are some downsides though for more serious applications. It has only an amplifier in one of the monitors - the other is passive. And there are no balanced input XLRs and no EQ fine tuning.

      I've heard that Mackie's larger nearfield monitors like the MR624s are good value but they cost more.

        @Pete-S the larger ones are also great, but if I was going to drop the coin on more serious monitors, I'd have to save up and get some Genelecs or something. Current setup is some older, passive Tannoys with a cheap, class-D amp. Works fine until I can get my "real" amp repaired (EV 7100, an absolute beast for only being 100w/ch).

          Can I ask what purpose these "monitors" have in video editing, as when I googled then thinking they were Monitors lol I found they are speakers .

            Took me a bit to figure out that we moved from video editing to sound studio monitors as well. I only caught on because I knew the vendor.

              I am asking technology wise aswell 😁. Why would you need such speakers when doing video editing? Is it for better sound quality instead of just using plan old speakers?

                Sound is as important as video when doing video editing. That's why it's important to be able to hear exactly what the sound is. They are called monitors because that is the purpose - monitor the sound. Studio monitors differs from computer speakers because they are not designed to sound good - they are designed to sound as accurate as possible. Top of the line studio monitors can cost several thousands each.

                This is what a typical video editing setup looks like:

                The red "speakers" are the monitors.

                  While not technically monitors, I was using a pair of Mackie SRM150 Powered Speakers as PC speakers for a while. Very nice and powerful. My son just swapped out a pair of monitors for speakers today.

                      Some people think good speakers, are accurate speakers.

                        Same as people who think good food is eating what the chef prepared. And other people add ketchup, salt, or sugar to everything.
