Reference monitors for Dance music

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I'm currently using a pair of Spirit Absolute 2s as reference monitors, but
I'd like something a little more meaty bass wise for dance music. I'd
appreciate any suggestions

Thanks

May I just add that PMCs are the dog's bollocks ( English term of endearment
) in the monitor dept. Utterly fabulous. Clean and delightfully extended real
bass. A true renaissance of the transmission line school of thought and
design.

100% recommended.

Hi,
We use Quested F-1's for mixing Dance and Rap music. And Meyer HD-1's
for the stuff we record with microphones; bands, choirs whatever. The
Questeds seem to handle the hard attacks of those 'savage kik drums'
).
The house music stuff seems to translate well from the studio to the
club when mixed on the questeds, just don't go mad on low end. I mixed
some backing tracks recently for a rapper at large outoor gig, I went
along to check it out and was really happy how well the tracks sounded
over a large PA. Blah Blah Blah.
I think though you should try a monitor that isn't ported for a start.
Regards
DS
