I calibrated my ns10 with sonarworks (using the agressive bass extension option) and I got an amazing result. Seriously, if you guys have the opportunity to test it, do so. I'm only using one pair of speakers now switching sonarworks on/off when needed.

I've owned and worked on NS10's for almost 35 years. I agree they are fatiguing. They are bass shy with a pronounced hump around 1-2 kHz, our most sensitive hearing range. Definitely NOT flat.

[MrBeblis]

These is no such thing as best speaker to mix on. The best speaker is the one that you know and are familiar with

[hummarstraful]

"Disgustingly flat" is what I want!! haha. I'm gonna buy a pair of these, but will have another monitor pair also. Many years ago I mixed on NS10's not knowing they were legendary and got mixes that transferred without any problem. And I thought they sounded like SHIT!!! Now I own some Mackie monitors and everytime I go to the car to listen to my mix It's full of surprises. Hate that. So gonna pay out the ass for some old NS10's and a power amp. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

They are the best to set vocal levels.

I just got a pair of the Alpha Twin. I am happy.. I am a noob but, I like the Focal.. JBL305 is still around tho.

Nice video ! Yeah, you want to rely on what you're hearing of course, but this involves not only some ugly flat speakers, but also the acoustic the mixing room ! And that's the problem, cause even treated the room will never be flat enough to translate things as they should translate ! So I finally went for those Genelec monitors (8330 APM + Sub 7350 APM + the GLM set ). These really changed the game ! My next move will probably be to get those aventone mixcubes to compare with !

[arymasters]

Love the advice! Great video - well done :D

[jeisonleonardoguevara]

I have focal cms65 and focal cms50. And I preffer to work with the yamahas, focal gives a nice sound so warm and beauty but it is hard to get a clear and rough image what is really sounding

[xmun]

I think they sound amazing, as a guitar player that 1.5k bump is what I always boost on my guitar so for vocals and guitars I think they sound incredible just like my senheiser 650's, maybe its just me ? but I love midrange I hate speakers and mixes that are smiley faced

[ctnicetune]

what other cheap speakers can be used with the same idea of NS10 (sounding bad). I've heard of cheap walmart speakers being used as reference to improve translation across all speakers. any other makes and models with the NS10 idea ???

[Dr_Beat]

Try out the NS635 the bigger NS10's 😉👍

[Rockem]

I used to own ns10m I found them to be great mixing monitors AND great sounding speakers

[Joey.Darkwoods-Studio]

So, what do you think of the Auratone's as B monitor (as a future investement)? My main monitors are the Adam's A7V (recently got them).

[drdelewded]

Why would anyone mix on fatiguing, coloured, passive speakers that now demand vintage prices when you can get modern speakers that are flat, active and dont tear your ears out. Ive been on the KH 120s in 5.1 now for almost 10 years of daily 9-5 use. We have a crate of NS10s in storage that have been collecting dust for over 20 years.. Im mixing for surround for TV, I reference through a small Fostex in mono and through a TV I monitor the video on. No need for NS10s

[ArthurMcGDM]

I have a pair of CLA-10s. They are a good alternative to the NS-10.

Get a sub.

[TheJohnnyjean]

Stop that myth that they are bad sounding speakers they actually sound great, that is if your music sounds great😊 they just have a limited range, I just got a pair, and was really expecting them to sound like shit after watching and reading too much crap on the internet but they actually sound good IMO !

[NotOr]

The NS-10M STUDIO are awesome, i really dislike the non-STUDIO version.

[trdman]

The "vocal" speaker which honestly reproduced mid-range....(which no attractive high or low)

[meshica]

I'm more offended by your use of the term "Beats" than I was by "Wicked awesome".
