Emergency last minute advice...
Youngling Posts: 2 Join Date: 4/26/10 Recent PostsMy goal is to have full frequency accurate studio monitor for mixing electronic music in a digital audio workspace. At the moment I am comparing and contrasting the 6010a&5040a vs 8020b&7050b combos.
Clarity. At the moment I am looking for clarity and am wondering if the 8020b combo is significantly more transparent than the 6010a combo – or mostly just louder? My studio space is very small and my gut tells me that the 7050b might be too bold… …also, when mixing I try not to listen any louder than 85db as it becomes fatiguing.
In your professional opinion do you feel that the 6010a combo may actually be a better match for me than the 8020b? I currently have the 8020b combo on hold at my local music dealer and have to make a decision quickly…
Lastly, are there any other immediate criteria that I am missing to make an informed decision? I have read the specs on your Genelec website quite carefully.
Thank you kindly for you time,
Geoff

7050 isn't too bold for the space you have because you can use the gain and room eq controls to calibrate it to your room. Also 8020&7050 have professional balanced XLR connectors instead of consumer unbalanced RCAs found on the 6010/5040.
