5 inch monitor speaker guide for DJ's 2021! Which one is best for you?

[@MeastrasElKachelino]

The acoustic space switch on M-Audio monitors are actually a high pass filter EQ from 80Hz and above...! It trims out the boomy-bass buildup.

[@DJ-Daz]

I've had a pair of CR-4's and they actually sound pretty good for budget speakers. But there is NO comparison between them and the other speakers on offer here. The step up, even to the Pioneer speakers is unbelievable, and they only get better from there.

[@djkit]

Fair point!

[@KCBRYAN_1525]

Yeah I prefer the bass ports on the front.because they can then be set back in corners.but when they are on the back? I’m sure you’re supposed to have a meter space behind them

[@saxecoburggothasuk9693]

Hey Ratzi , what are the stands your using for your speakers?

[@h-dawg969]

What are people saying about Genelecs? Plan on getting some new monitors, something that’s decent for DAWless (tr8, JU06a, system 1) Logic production, yet something decent for DJing (Traktor set up)

[@filipkrstevski5449]

How would you describe the pioneers because i have them and like the sound of them I also have Dynaudio BM5MKIII, but the pioneers are superb for the price

[@valentius.original]

Rcf or krk?

[@gregoryisom8333]

The QSC CP8 1000W 8-inch Powered Speaker will wipe out every one of these monitors in a smooth but rugged DJ situation without wearing a pamper on flexibility and power on demand; all of these monitors place is at home for practice only, and even during practice, you may max these monitors out quickly!

[@jarfur559]

What about the house of Marley get together speakers?

[@AndreiMin]

what speakers are the ones behind you on the stands?

[@clipz1]

i was expecting most vids on this topic to say its better using pa speakers i have both but ive gotten soo use to using studio monitors finding it hard to adjust to the pa's

[@allev1n]

hey man could you please give me some advice? i have just ordered my controller and my headphones and now i am looking for some dj monitors. I just need them to dj at home and they shouldn't be that expensive. Maybe around 200 (both monitors together). Or would you say for the beginning just one better monitor would also be ok?

[@djkit]

It all depends on your budget. If you have a little more to spend, go with a pair of 5" monitors like you see in this video, if not, there are plenty of speakers that come in pairs on a budget, such as the Mackie CR5-X or the Pioneer DJ DM-40s!

Great video bro , what would you use for dj’ing dubstep ?

[@djkit]

Thank you! I would probably go for something with a big bass frequency!

[@Msantor1605]

Krk Rokit for Dub.

[@gregoryisom8333]

I'm a professional DJ, and none of these monitors are suitable for front-of-house or medium gigs; I would use these for close-up personal booth monitors, and even with the booth monitoring phase, these monitors cones being exposed to rugged a to b moving would be a balancing act to assure they make it without getting damage, I guess If Im careful then I might be alright, I would definitely purchase carrying bags for travel!

obviously there for a home dj setup lol we know you can't take these to a live gig

Hi boss... which ones would you recommend for a home Dj set up... mostly house music...I have a small bedroom...I have the Yamaha hs5 & krk rokit 5 on my mind. My set up would be the speakers are facing me and there is a wall behind the speakers

[@TooBarFoo]

The HS5's are probably the flatest speakers of the 2 which can help in mastering but they are not the most pleasant to listen to, I replaced mine with KRK's G4's which sound great but are also usable when producing although they do impart a "KRK" sound on mixes. But really, if you are using your speakers for anything other than mastering avoid the HS5. They are designed to master on and they are great for that but no one should buy them as DJ speakers. Just my 2 cents

[@daniellee1722]

@@TooBarFoo And what does a KRK sound sound like?

[@DJDwayneymac]

Which one do you recommend?

[@djkit]

It is all personal choice. Are you looking for music production or DJ monitors? And what is your budget?

[@drich52]

which one is the best for djing at home?

It all depends on the budget really!

Hi i am thinking of buying Rokit GP5 G4 monitor speakers to add to my set up, just now i run my controller through a amp with four speakers, my controller has two outputs a 3.5 jack that is connected to my amp it also has rca out which i was thinking of connecting the Rokits to, would there be any benefit to adding the rokits to aid my mixing and are they loud enough for a average size room?

[@djkit]

The Rokits are definitely loud enough for an average size room! Were you looking to use them to replace the speakers you're using now?

[@Jko88]

@@djkit thank you for replying, i have denon amp and two denon speakers plus two wharfendal 220 i was thinking of keeping the wharfendales connected on back wall and use the rokits where in front where i mix from, reason being rokits to help with mixing and also for audience quality and help and advice would be much appreciated, and i have the budget for the rokit 7 g4 if you thought the rokit 5 g4 where not enough thank you

[@ggreenleaf47]

Would any of these perform well as (booth) monitors for (mobile) doing, or would I need to go for 12" /15" speakers?

[@djkit]

It really depends on how loud you need the booth to be! For example, I wouldn't recommend 5" monitors for a club's DJ both, but for a wedding they would probably suffice!

[@BBQ.BEATS.15]

Hiya. Good video. I'm looking to buy my first monitor speakers for mixing hardtechno on vinyl.! Got quite small lounge.! Would the CR-4s X be a great buy.?

[@djkit]

Thanks for the comment! The CR-4s will be fine for a small room, although if you want more bass on your hard core techno, I would go for something bigger like the KRKs!

[@ThePorts77]

Had the Yamaha HS5 for a year. They totally lack I wouldn’t recommend them. I’m now on the hs80m 💪🏼

[@djkit]

What did you think they were lacking?

[@TooBarFoo]

They are designed as studio speakers for mastering on and they are great for that purpose, but they are not pleasant for extended general listening. I really don't think they belong on list aimed at DJ's. That said, I don't think the HS80's fit the bill for DJ speakers either for the same reason. The HS series are based on the NS10's those were used in studios because if you could make your master sound good on those it would sound good on anything. They are built to sound bad to help perfect a master not to listen to!

[@DJFAmenHeavy]

JBL also a good shout for 5 inch

Which model?

Hey homie is it possible to use my klipsch R-51M speakers to a djm-S9?

They are passive speakers that require an amp, so no direct connection I'm afraid!

whats with the pioneer vm ?

[@JOKEMMM]

You should definitely put 'budget speakers' in the title

[@djkit]

There is a mix of speakers here, some are budget, some aren't!

[@rosta2899]

These are studio monitors for production, I do not recommend for normal listening, the sound is boring and cold, listening will soon bore you

[@djkit]

Thanks for your comment. What do you mean by 'normal listening?'

[@sonny9546]

You can use an eq if you want more bass or something

[@synth-o-matic1168]

But why do you have to shoot bullshit in the headlines. they are studio monitors not for DJs ... when you stop calling DJs who produce music or pass off DJs as producers ... they are two different things and the equipment is also different ..... these are studio monitors, stop...

[@londonsounds6212]

Please can you recommend me some speakers for a bedroom DJ? Thanks

[@djkit]

Are you saying these monitors can't be used for DJing?

[@londonsounds6212]

I know what he means.They can be used for a bedroom dj but they're really designed for accuracy. DJ speakers would be something with some colour in it to sound more fun. I'm looking for DJ speakers not studio/reference monitors
