In this Neumann vs Yamaha Studio Monitor Review Shootout, both speakers will be paired with a Yamaha HS-8S 8" Subwoofer to increase clarity in the low end when mixing. To compare these speakers, I first mixed a song on the Neumann KH-80s. Then I created a save-as 'Yamaha" version. In this Yamaha session I reset all the plugin settings, and set all the faders and panning back to default. Using the same plugins as before, I balanced the song as deemed appropriate using the Yamaha HS5 speakers. I have used these speaker for several years and feel comfortable mixing with them, but how will the Yamaha mix compare when placed side by side with the Neumann KH-80 mix? To add an extra twist to this comparison, I also mixed the song again thru a Sony Clock Radio Speaker (3") This method is intended to emulate the famous Auratone mono mixing method used by Dr. Dre and Derek Ali. "If it sounds great on a crappy speaker in mono, it'll sound 10x better when you switch back to stereo monitors." It came out a little quieter than the Neumann and Yamaha mixes, but when I gained it up the result was very interesting. Although it lacked some hi frequency D A Z Z L E the mix felt solid throughout the low end and midrange. ►Neumann KH-80 https://amzn.to/2DJ6Vbh ►Yamaha HS5 https://amzn.to/2YiEtq1 ►►Use my VIP link to get 7% off your first year at DistroKid: http://distrokid.com/vip/learnaudioengineering ►7-LEVEL ESSENTIAL MIXING CHECKLIST: https://learn-audio-engineering.teachable.com/p/the-7-level-essential-mixing-checklist ►How to Record Anything eBOOK DOWNLOAD: http://learnaudioengineering.com/ ►PATREON https://www.patreon.com/RobertLAE ►INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/learnaudioengineering ►FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/LearnAudioEngineering
