The BEST Compact Monitors? Eve Audio 3070 3-Way Speakers

[@emiel333]

Looks like a great choice for me when I’m upgrading from my current monitors! I hear a lot of great things about Eve Audio monitors!

[@kinikimusic1759]

I just purchased the 3070 yesterday, and can't wait to trying them out. Had the footprint 02 and focal shape twin, but think these might be the sweat spot. Great channel! Ciao Ciao

[@kelainefes]

That distortion graph is mind boggling. Horizontal directivity also amazing, and tells us that Eve did not abuse the DSP to make the monitors flat on axis, because if they did that the off axis response would we very funky, making them very much not flat in practical use where you hear direct + some room reverb. They instead tailored the frequency response on and off axis with driver, cabinet and crossover design, which is the right way but also the hard way.

[@MeanTrainingMachine]

Thank you for the video David! These look awesome

[@Arturo_Slam]

I have the SC3070 with the TS112 sub. Very good combo. Sounds amazing.

[@stupendousmusic4190]

I've tested these monitors myself. They're quite nice. 👍🏻

[@atomicasounds]

Very interested to see how these would compare to my Dynaudio LYD48's!

[@rrs731]

I've been waiting for this video, I've been looking at these for a while!

[@roogrey]

This is perfectly timed! I’m considering upgrading to 3-way monitors at the moment, and although one can read all the reviews and check the stats; nothing beats enthusiastic praise from a seasoned professional. They’re on my list! Thanks, David.

[@ReverendDr.Thomas]

​@@mixbustv, does EVE Audio supply your speakers free of cost?

[@JasonKlos]

I’m gonna give these a go… I was debating the LYD48’s as they’re more easily available in Canada but I believe there is at least one retailer up north here for Eve Audio. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@maxderkum7498]

check out www.gbmusicandsound.com in Canada ;-)

[@ReverendDr.Thomas]

There's nothing wrong with ordering internationally, apart from the fact that your order may not arrive for weeks.😅

[@joseveiga1126]

Hey David! I am a huge fan of your channel. I've to say that I have the eve audio 3070 3-way speakers and i just love it, one of my best investments. The low end of these small speakers is impressive, but at the same time very detailed. Awesome review! :)

[@ayoubmisbah2190]

Do i need a subwoofer with hem ? ❤

[@nofood1]

Ive been saving for these for a while, jar half way full 😋

[@RockstarRecStudio]

Best looking monitros for real. I wish I could try them in my room!

[@MeastrasElKachelino]

I'll be heading for the Eve's asap... my current setup is with M-Audio BX series, not the best in the industry but they get the job done 😆🙃

[@FedericoMissio]

At last! Thank you! :))) Would you please also review the newer SC 2070? A comparison between both models even if one is 3 and the 2 ways would be also very appreciated. Thank you for your good job and dedication.

[@AVANGARDMUSIC]

Definitely the best speakers i ever had,but i am wondering how do they compare to Amphion Two 18?

[@mixbustv]

Some people like Amphions, I find them too hi-fi

[@TheSakuraGumiLTD]

Oh... you went with the Carbon for the interface. I'm thinking about this one if I found it cheap enough when the time comes. It was on reverb for 1800 not too long ago... that would be the price range I'd be looking for one

[@swst09]

I just bought a pair. Very powerful, yet neutral sounding speakers, I like them. Just one thing bothers me, there is a stable hiss/buzz from the woofers which is higher level than usual (coming from Focal Shape 65s). It does not bother me when I listen to music, but when they there is silence, it's noticeable from about 1 m. Has anyone experienced similar things? Should I send them back?

[@mixbustv]

Why do you think it's the speakers tho'? Something like this is usually cable related or power.

[@swst09]

@@mixbustv I tested the Focals on the same exact setup without the woofer hiss, the tweeter is about the same, standard low level white noise type of hiss, nothing to worry about. Also, there is a noticeable, (probably mechanical) distortion below 50Hz when anything subby music is played. The gain staging between my interface and speakers should be ok, rock and metal sounds fine without weird artefacts. What did I miss? Other than that, perfect speakers for my needs.

[@ArielNora]

Once you hear Eve you can't go back, great choice!

[@lauriseppala4646]

Damn, I just bought a pair of Eve SC207 because I was anxious about the price of the SC3070. Is there a big benefit of having a 3-way speaker instead of a 2-way speaker? I still love my new monitors and you were absolutely right about the low-end on Eve monitors. I felt like I have never even heard proper fast low-end response before. My eyes (or my ears) were truly opened. The tweeters are amazing too, not harsh at all. Midrange sounds just right.That's all I can say. If something is off about the midrange it's really easy to spot. Love you man keep making awesome content! ❤

[@mixbustv]

Awesome man, glad to hear you like them! I wouldn't call it a "big" benefit, the 207s are one of my fav in their line. I feel you have a bit more midrange clarity with the 3070s and a better understanding of the depth. Having two drivers make them both a bit more efficient, less stress and distortion probably given the same monitoring levels

[@SydneyValette]

Curious of how it compares to hedds?

[@alen_1098]

Hey David! Great content and congratulations on the new studio, looks great! Looking for a hi-end main/midfield full range monitor for tracking/mixing/mastering. Would you recommend the EVE sc4070 with a sub, or sc3010? Or could i even get away with the sc4070 without a sub? Unfortunately I don’t have the ability to listen to them in my studio before buying them so any advice from you would mean a lot! Thanks in advance and best regards, your production is always stellar! 🤘🏼

[@mixbustv]

For a full range I would probably go with the 4070+sub. This is coming tho' from the point of view of a somewhat spoiled person (me). You most likely could do just as good with the 3010's but *I* feel the difference between the 3010s and my 3012s and the low end difference is enough for me to tell you you'd be better off with the 4070s and the sub because if I don't need the sub with the 3012s then I feel I would with the 3010s.. Makes sense? So, you can't do wrong with either options but if you want real full range you can't do 4070s without a sub.

[@TheSakuraGumiLTD]

The search for the speaker that suits you for mixing and mastering is a very hard thing to find. Even production also. I need a completely different thing for production. With production, becuase I mix I can not have them being overly revealing otherwise I add way too much time to creating a production. I then make one sound and start shaping that sound... add another sound and now I'm wasting time mixing already. You can not mix as you add thing because you don't know where you are going so it is stupid. I know this so I will try not to do this but I need a monitor that I like the sound of without it adding things I struggle with. This is where the speaker for you becomes extremely personal. For mixing and mastering I need thing to be revealing but it can not be so revealing that I am trying to soften everything like you say. On a very low budget, for me, for production, I have found the Tannoy Golds to work for me. I will make a Atmos setup with then as that will be quite cheap to do and I only intend for the moment to do Atmos production to learn mixing in Atmos for later doing that as a service, but for now I need to learn how it works. I'm at a stale-mate when seeking my mix and mastering speakers. What you say about finding a speaker is the very same things I am looking for and if you say these have that for you I will put EVE on my list of speakers to test against each other. Currently I have the Present Day Production MUM 6 speakers, PSI m-17's and Dynaudio Core 47's... this is considering my space will be a converted bedroom in the back of a American style motorhome. So my space is small. I am only looking at Dyaudio also becuase I could join the sub for both Atmos and stereo. I can use the digital inputs for stereo and that then digital out to the speakers and the mono analogue input for the sub be the Atmos .1 and not have to do any work arounds when switching from a stereo project and a Atmos project. But, if they do not fit me for mixing and mastering then I can not sacrifice what my best preference will be just so it's simpler to setup.

[@TheSakuraGumiLTD]

With their sub you they have the same just analogue on both... so, I'll see

[@harrispappas6292]

hey! Happy new year. I am after these speakers but i am afraid if my small 18 sq meter but heavily treated studio can handle them! what do you think. Unfortunately i cannot try them in my room unless i buy them! 😀

[@mixbustv]

There's no such thing as "the room can't handle them". Get them and be happy 👍

[@trashunicorn2308]

Nice review!

[@va941]

I just dont gel good with the ribbon tweeters, my brother has Adam Audio A7's and i tested the presonus r65's, it sounds so harsh and cold to my ears, something like the Focal Alpha's are way better suited for my ears.

[@nofood1]

can't compare these

[@va941]

@@nofood1 cant compare what? The focal's and Eve's? The other ribbon tweeters to eve's? Why not? Its almost like youre lazy or something.

[@huberttorzewski]

Adam's tweeters sound way different than Eve's

[@va941]

@@huberttorzewski i bet they do, but also ribbon tweetters as a category sound different to dome tweetters, no? If they did not, then whats the point? That is my experience, having demoed a lot of different speakers from different manufacturers, ribbon tweetters across the spectrum of manufacturers, come of as harsh vs dome tweetters to my ears.

[@nofood1]

@@va941 i gave Adam ribbon monitors a try twice and sent them back, went with Eve never went back, just saying

[@aleksamrkela831]

Eve's monitors are very, very tempting! :D How does Focal stack up against them? I know you reviewed the Alpha Twins/Sub One before, and I'm curious if they're still a good choice.

[@mixbustv]

They're both great monitors, but there's a reason I keep Eve in all my studios.

[@metamusicmedia]

how do you like these compared to the Twin Evo Focals?

[@FulvioPerniola]

ciao David... are 3070 good for house music ...trance ...tecno ...? tx

[@mixbustv]

Indeed they are, I would add their sub tho, even the 8" one will make a perfect set-up

[@FulvioPerniola]

@@mixbustv grazie mille 🙏

[@mrmorpheus9707]

Question...whats your thoughts on reprinting tracks ( processing thru hardware etc ) before mixing

[@mixbustv]

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Mixing with analog you mean? Look at my studio (not this one, my personal one) why do you think I have 60 channels of analog? 😄

[@richardpenrose1968]

Have you tried Neumann monitors?

[@emilybeats6556]

Eve slays!

[@artist1303]

I'm in the market for a new set of mixing/mastering speakers for a home studio. My room is treated along with using the Sonarworks correction software. I can't decide on the Barefoot footprint 02's or these Eve 3070's. Which one would you choose based on your experience with them?

[@nofood1]

if you have the money, get the Hedd TYPE 20 MK2, if not, Eve Audio all day

[@mixbustv]

@artist1303 I had several friends going from Barefoot to Eve after hearing them, including Paul D'amour, he went from those to 4070s

[@mixbustv]

@nofood1 If you spend $4800 then get the 4070s + Eve sub and they will literally slaughther the Hedd lol and you save $200 bucks. Eve > Hedd all day every day

Well yeah... Imagine paying close to 4K on monitors and they don't sound great?

[@mixbustv]

The way you say it makes it sound like 4K is a lot for monitors. Which is really nothing.

[@audio_odyssey]

@@mixbustvit’s nothing when you’re buying as a professional for a business. I don’t disagree with you there. However, it is a lot for many of us as hobbyists. When you have other competing interests to consider in your budget like feeding a family it can be hard to justify.
