Treble very natural, never garish or aggressive. Anything can happen in these monitors. Absolute safety for the rectitude of his mixes. It can even play on the "biting" limits his mixes, and spend elsewhere. Dtails rvls incredible! High analytical precision and musicality of hyper listen, the recorded acoustic minimalism to -60dB undue most hardcore compress and stridulating, everything make sense without ever giving the impression to fail. Of course they have their physical limits. Very impressive dynamic, excellent power handling, very fast transients. Obviously when they are the means the defects, it is made for. After the trick, as with any tool, you have to tame them, know them, calibrate in his brain. We must be aware of how they sound. In short we must "learn" its speakers.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    Used for 14 months. Beautiful sober aesthetic. Investment compared to arrires walls made complicated because of the wind bass reflex rear right diameter. on the other hand, although they are well-designed and well finished, well I am do not understand these idiots screw that sometimes dvissent the rear, at fixing the amps panel, apparently this is a trademark of Dynaudio, strange ...
    So qualitprix the report is more than exceptional. 1000 euros for "a", I call a gift from the gods. In addition it is not made in china, but handmade in danemark.Je would do well this choice, with no experience, but with the money, eh what! And even to pass on BM15A or AIR6 ... I put 15 out of 10 for the overall score.

    SOUNDS

    Good stereo image, Its really clear and precise, very good fishing in the bass.
    You will have fun spending your CD trade and compare the work done in the studio.
    Some CDs do appear Bacle compared to other

    OVERALL OPINION

    The world of "active monitoring" looks like to me other than that of the "High Fidelitquot; ... a lot of blah blah blah .... snobbery," How! You do not hear this transition, this harmonic and almost subliminal trancendentale IN ADDITION, blah blah blah. "Until the day we spotted a real pro who tells you that your ear must adapt to the new monitor anyway, perceiving weaknesses, correct them has the EQ. With such monitors can realize very quickly the differences in mix, positioning instruments, dragging serious, effects. As long as the listening room is fairly well damped, the details of the jump mix has the ear.
    Go listen to them, without prejudice, with pieces that you know well and trust you have four between the ears!

    What characteristics have motivated my choice?
    For what purpose?

    For my amateur home studio, I was looking monitors on which I could do a mix correct. Previously I was working on a stereo configuration ineffective for this, I lost plenty of time to adjust and to compare (even though it was fun somewhere) on all types of plays which I was available ...

    Power:
    Since I work in a small room in a terraced house with non-insulated walls, no need to search for 200W or even 100W.

    Power:

    Price:
    This is a major purchase, and after long reflection, I allowed myself to ride the bet. see the relationship between quality-price-specs
    The quality is not known a priori except reputation (Dynaudio is good, it comes from hautdegamme), we know the price and spec too. Beware of inflated specs for low prices, this may be an indicator of lower quality ...
    I wanted to open a purchase for the future, an assurance of a decent job, do not hesitate, you must pay the price.

    +: Mitigation potential of low-medium-sharp: not necessary, it was an individual choice, but it was always better than not having ..
    -: No volume control that limits the configuration, but not serious because no need in this case.

    design:
    Ben you get used to and we are proud.
    they are all beautiful and Migone o)

    SOUNDS

    The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?
    Nothing like before, actually mixing the job level is 100x more accurate, easier, if there are mistakes, it's my fault.

    The stereo image is good?
    Yeah actually I can not fully appreciate because of the configuration of the room, but that's for sure, it is at least good.

    The sound is clear and precise on the spectrum?

    quite

    The dynamics are respected?

    same as for the stereo image, hard to say in the current configuration, we'll see in a room properly.
    on the other hand I found one of my pieces as being too compressed on Genelec 1038 although this had not more shocked that the BM5A. Infact I have not worked on them and there is a difference between the two types 4000Eur/pièce monitor somewhere so happily. And probably would not I made the mistake if I worked directly on dyn.

    Transients
    it's not that my ears are bleeding because they are not tired but the sound is chopped in small knife is an absolute wealth.

    So to improve and good work

    OVERALL OPINION

    How long have you use it?
    4 months

    What is so special that you like most and least?
    the small low round even though at least makes you say that the whole neighborhood should feel it.
    No less really is love.

    Have you tried many other models before buying it?
    I heard MSP5 home: small, well punchy, aggressive, but did not make me feel the shortcomings of my songs, not very clear that little low, however the low end is fuzzy ..

    Fostex PM-1 with a friend: oh they sound really good, it's a pleasure to hear them. Why not this one (which are half price):
    - No professional back behind them, either because BM5A new little sisters, but they even exceed the BM6A told and similar range Dynaudio
    - No ability to change the frequency response (I prefer having a choice, having no experience in that)
    - For different monitors of this friend to have a different opinion on a possible mix.

    See below or on the website for Dynaudio CHARACTERISTICS.

    The filters are very practical, especially for the low end.
    We regret even when there is no protection on the front.

    SOUNDS

    Excellent Stereo Image: trs good location, depth, relief, steady image with exact (if the decision is dpart ...)
    A little too low, especially against a wall (the wind is the rear) can fix with the filters on the enclosure.
    The sound is just soft, but the price is a great investment.
    Neutral and unflattering (as often with Dynaudio), which is good for plutt monitoring speakers.

    I work with for two months, and I redcouvre my records.
    Much better than the Fostex, Genelec, and some (I got).
    These speakers get a REFERENCE, and I think it's important to see how they sound (no, I'm not REPRESENTATIVES Dynaudio!)
    Obviously, a single pair of cost is not enough to work srieusement.
    A choice I do not regret.

    SOUNDS

    Before I had Focal and JBL Control 1 Pro. I mixed and mastered over the dozens of songs available on CD, entertainment sound systems, sound systems store ... I had to listen to all kinds of plays to achieve a consistent sound and audible throughout.

    Now it right the first time: I always listen to lots of different devices, but there's nothing to edit. Super saving time, and confidence in these plays.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is good for my little studio (20 m²). They are placed back into the void: the bass are not so present as here, but that's how I manage to mix the first time. Soon I will add sub-bass, listening to a "client".

    SOUNDS

    What about ... except that they are perfect.

    I cost a lot of proximity monitors Yamaha NS10 and MSP5, Alesis M1 Active, Monitor 1 and Monitor 2, Genelec 1030, Mackie HR824, Event 2020 and Tria, Behringer TruthB2031 ... and Dynaudio BM5A are above (and even carrment TRS far when compared to Yamaha and Behringer).

    L Linares is the perfect image is nickel and respect for the phase is total. They are of a transparency, a precision, a claret hallucinating. Transients are fully respected and the slightest sound is transcribed with a dtail incredible (especially on a monitor proximity and this price range).

    And in addition, I have not talked about the indoor amp. No potentiomtre volume, so the amps are back. And yet, no breath. Most of the time when an amp does not blow, it is that the volume is not mounted or it has no treble. This is not the case here. In addition, the phase rotation is minimal, is giving treble notte a clear priority. I also rarely heard amplifiers capable of having such a rponse impulse. Transients are incredible. These monitors seem dpourvus phnomne of any compression. Simply amazing, especially for that price.

    In short, for résumé: Pregnant perfect gniaux amplifiers, filters and incredible top level speakers, the receipts from short idalie pregnant.

    Only a few conditions to enjoy: the rder (they give their fullest extent until a few hours of use) and use the switches to turn the rear a little lower if you work in a pice too small.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Report quality carrment incredible prices. Less than 1000 euros for a pair of monitors an exceptional quality, it's just gniale.

    As I said, it is probably the best instructors proximity. Everything is perfect.

    Not to sound like that much bigger monitors. We crore limit on the Genelec 1038 times. The capacity analysis is Deplus phnomnale they rvlent any dtail. As if a bad enough, when we mix it, we need to mastering the mix going anywhere even on crappy speakers of a laptop. Top notch.

    Yes, it's transparent and precise despite some difficulties (regarding the room and their placement) in the lows (50/100 Hz). Otherwise, it's all good.

    - Is the stereo image good?
    It's exceptional
    If you ever have the chance, try them out
    Depending on the room and the distance of the bass reflex ports to the walls you can easily get blurry lows, but that would be the same with all speakers.
    The overall response is very precise, even the mids are fairly respected, they are linear, nice, not tiring. In short, must-have speakers.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you been using the product?
    12 months

    - How would you rate its value for money?
    I have nothing to complain about, to be honest. I put them on my credit card, but given their quality, I think the price is all right.

    - Based on your experience, would you choose this product again?
    I was impressed after having tested them, because at first sight they are pretty far from being big, but these near-field speakers have clearly exceeded my expectations for a home studio.

    A change of monitors?
    Personally, I don't need to.

    Neutrality and clinical capacity.
    I use them in a home studio
    Setup: edirol, cubase...+ synth and mics...

    SOUNDS

    The frequency response curve is perfect, but to go down to 50 Hz you need a subwoofer, obviously.
    Extremely precise stereo image...No remarks, it's amazing, you can place every instrument with a lot of precision.
    The sound is crystal-clear, the highs are perfect, too...I love them!
    There's simply no comparison with other way-too-generous and flattering speakers...
    The dynamic response is also very good, not exaggerated at all.

    10 months of use, they revolutionized my ears, no ear fatigue, a precise response, I finally discovered the difference between the mids and the highs!!!
    I love their performance and precision. Their only con would be their somewhat ugly look, but I don't really care too much about that, as long as they sound fine...otherwise I would've bought a nice piece of furniture.
    Other models...genelec, mackie, m-audio, samsom, Krk...I only regret not having tested the adam a7...
    You need to hear them with your own ears, everybody has his own preferences...
    Very good value for money...it's not like you're buying something made in China (although I don't have anything against our Chinese friends!)

    I would buy them again with my eyes closed.

    Their "flat" character and the almost perfect stereo image.

    I use them for monitoring, mixing with a Mac and a big Motu card.

    SOUNDS

    I second what has been said in the other reviews. Superb speakers!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using them for 15 days non-stop and I'm still looking for something I don't like about them...
    I have tried lots of models, Genelec, krk etc.. but I wouldn't hesitate to buy these again.

    Bought a pair there mois.j've scoured the forums and hunted the opinion rested on the net before making a choice. I have not heard before buying this was risky in j agree.
    Construction inspires confidence and exudes sérieux.Le design is very beautiful which makes it even better.

    I have connected to a Yamaha RX495 receiver purchased for the occasion and chose to remain neutral which is echoed the advice and criticism.

    Thomann bought for € 220 piece, I have had the surpise to receive the MKI version ..
    So I returned and my Thomann is an exchange at no extra cost which represents a saving of over € 100 in total.Super matter then.

    SOUNDS

    If I compare with my old Technics system gone up in smoke recently, c is remarkable neutrality and balance.
    Dry but very defined bass, midrange and treble stereo limpides.Image dynamique.Autant amazing and good that I can see the marriage with the rx495 is successful.

    Be careful though, 1/une break-in period is essential before the pregnant matures sonore.Je thought this stuff was the snobbery of audiophiles, but no.
    The sound is actually more body to use.
    2 / placement and orientation of the monitors is also very important and can change consistently experience the sound.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use them for a little over a month with bonheur.Mixer suddenly became much simpler means everything, no unpleasant surprises at the replay on to other systems, stereo, headphones or autre.Brèfe they make me very exactly the services that I expected of them.
    My favorite, the reliability of sound reproduction, quality construction
    What I like least, not much is true I would quibble dire.Pour a larger woofer but hey it works so well already that way.

    For 440 Euros it was a case, but even for 540 price at which they can be found everywhere, it's still an excellent value for money.
    I would do the same choice, of course.
