Author	Topic: Which small speakers wd you use for octo Capy?
bluefire Member	posted 20 February 2008 02:03 Small studio monitors would be the right power, but we likely want a wider field. The octo space will probably be around 25' diameter. No need to be extremely loud. We're thinking about 8 smallish mid/hi with a couple of small subs. Any thoughts or ideas? IP: Logged
SSC Administrator	posted 20 February 2008 14:17 I don't have experience with any of these, but here are some possibilities: * Phonic makes a wireless transmitter that they say will work with any active speakers and eliminates the need for laying wires * Phonic also makes a wireless active speaker for outdoor use * The Mackie SRM350 is described as a portable active monitor * Dynaudio BM5A is a small active monitor * The Genelec site includes a Selection Guide based on the size of the listening distance I have not listened to any of these solutions and am curious to hear if anyone has experience with using them. What other products are people using for their portable multichannel setups? [This message has been edited by SSC (edited 20 February 2008).] IP: Logged
Luddy Member	posted 20 February 2008 18:41 The Dynaudios (BM5A) would be a great choice if you can swing them; they have very good frequency response but are not too powerful. The mkII version of these speakers is generally said not to sound as good as the originals. You might be able to get away without subs if you use these. The Genelec 8030s would sound great also, although for those I would think you'd want a sub also. The money adds up fast with eight speakers, yow! :-) -Luddy IP: Logged

Better than many in their nominal glass (JBL, Cerwin-Vega, etc). However, for studio work I'd rather a set of ADAMs, BlueSky or Dynaudio (I have the AIR15 series myself).
