Hey everyone,
I'm a DJ on radio and as a mobile DJ, and a Media student, and I am in need of a new system. I'm not looking for a cinema setup, as I already have a nice Sony system in the lounge, so it would just be used for audio editing, music and gaming. I work in recording studios as well, so I'm thinking of going down the route of studio monitors. I've been looking at the Behringer range of studio monitors, but I'd like some opinions before I go ahead and buy the system. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers, Chris.
 
Hey everyone,
Thanks for the replies, I think studio monitors is the way to go for me. I've been delving into the Behringer range a bit more, and I think I might go for them. I'll get the best monitors from the Truth range, and depending on how I get on with them, the matching sub woofer. As for the mixer, I think I'm going to go for the EURORACK PRO RX1202FX. It has plenty of inputs, and has a mic pre-amp, for all of my recordings for radio and singing. I'll write back later on how I am going to connect it all. Cheers, Chris.
 
Hey Finga,
I'm not able to look them up at the moment, but I will a bit later when I get a chance. I'll take your word for it, do they do a subwoofer to match? I will be keeping this setup for quite a while once I get it, so I want it to be decent to start off with.

Right, the setup.

I'll be getting a large desk soon for my room, which will hold the DJ equipment and the main PC screens, keyboard etc. On the left hand side will be the DJ equipment, and the EURORACK PRO RX1202FX mixer. All the cabling is at the rear, and I will make it fully flush with the desk top [cut a hole in the desk :D] I will run the left and right outputs from the main PC into channel one, and the same outputs from the DJ gear into channel two. I will run any other gear I get [CD player, FM receiver etc] into the remaining channels. I will run the main out of the desk into the mic port on the main computer, and the record out of the desk into the DJ computer [so I can record my sets to each computer] I will run the remaining output of the desk into the speakers, or into the sub woofer depending on whether I end up getting one [I think I will, who wouldn't? :D] And the headphones will run off of the headphone out of the desk.

This is the basic setup so far, I think it will do me fine. Opinions welcome, Chris.
 
Hey guys,
I've had the chance to look at the Tapco range and read a few reviews, and they sound amazing [no pun intended]

I'll go for the S5's, but if my budget allows it [got some very well paid gigs coming up soon] then I'll go for the S8's instead. One review said they are not great for clubby type music, but I think they were reviewed without the subwoofer. Has anyone got a first hand experience with the Tapco range? [probably a stupid question since you're all saying they're good :P]

Cheers, Chris.
 
Hey everyone,
I listen to basically every genre [I'm a DJ, kinda have to have a liking for everything] from System Of A Down, to rap and R&B, to funk etc. I work at a radio station, so I'm always editing interviews, making jingles and stuff like that. I will be cranking them up a lot of the time too, can they take a bit of a beating once in a while? Cheers, Chris.
