All user reviews for the Prodipe Pro 5

SOUNDS

frequency curve:
Let us put it to all in the context: it is pregnant less than 250 euros per PAIR.
For that price, the curve is neutral, there is nothing to say the above.
After so these speakers can be a tendency to flatter mids and bass can sometimes be limited (read below 70Hz), but nothing to worry about when starting, you can definitely get out of house mixes reasonable, and is best to start with pregnant with defects that can happen has control over time than to have the tapping listen fighter that can not tame a ... but your point of view!
I find it completely stupid and baseless to compare them with HS80 or even Yamaha NS10, is a comparison that does not make sense since it is not the same budget: compare what is comparable! (But I digress).
Dynamics is almost fulfilled, the stereo is excellent!
The sound is clear and precise enough to do this by hand with these speakers, or even for people with experience to appreciate a listening side (or more).

For mixing in itself, be careful at low below 80 or 70Hz, the limit of the speakers begins to be felt, and become difficult to control the bass without a subwoofer below 65Hz or so.
So for acoustic music (read with instruments), ca-sufficient: it can be exercised on the ear the eq of a guitar for hours without getting tired too (remember to take breaks!), But for music like electro or dubstep, short of asking for good bass music, I think has the IMHO is to spend its way to something bigger, or take their own initiative a subwoofer /
For the rest, I had the chance to spend my compositions in a real professional studio, equipped with Genelec 1030 and 1032 with the Genelec 1080 subwoofer in a room fully processed.
Well the result is surprising, or not just because I have not had any big difference in the mix (except in the bass, but it I expected membranes with 5 inch ...), otherwise the rest was well balanced, although the midrange seemed a bit behind on Genelecs (due to the bump in these frequency ranges on prodipe).

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for almost a year, and I tried a pretty good amount of studio monitor in this price range, m-audio, Samson, and Fostex etc ...
The prodipes come from the top of my list: the sound is balanced overall, well made (they are strong: 4 removals and are like new!), Vents before which afford not to lose too dynamics at low settings and frequency correction, all at a very low price.
I regret mainly on / off button is the speaker who was behind it: impractical!
These are very good speakers to start mixing without breaking the bank, even after their why not add the box pro10s or another.
With experience and with the same budget, I would do without hesitation that choice! otherwise I will take the speakers with a larger membrane for a bit more bass ... but hey I bought knowingly

The Pro 5’s by Prodipe have been around for a few years now and I have had hands on experience with them on several occasions. The stereo quality is very good and the frequency range is as well. They are a very solid set of monitors. They don’t seem to get very loud though, but when mixing you’re your music you shouldn’t have the volume extremely loud. I actually got great results with this mixing my music, I like to mix my music as I make it so I can get an actual feel for how the final version will sound and they served their purpose just fine.


SOUNDS

The sound is great and the frequency range is almost perfect. I just wish they where overall louder. Even when you turn them all the way up which you should never do. They still don’t seem to be very loud and I have used them in a pretty small room. A room that is only 10x10 and the sound still doesn’t seem to get loud.


OVERALL OPINION

But I guess the Pro 5’s will take care of what you will use them for and that is mixing your music. The price of them is a good price online. I have seen them cheaper in some local stores a year or two ago. I wouldn’t recommend buying them used because from what I hear the life span of them isn’t that good as time goes on and also I have heard they don’t take well to being knocked around or banged or dropped. I havent dropped mine at all and don’t plan on it but if you purchase them used you will never know what the person who had them before you did so it could be a bad investment with the rumors of life span on the Prodipe Pro 5’s.

Accordeons6000.

I searched for monitor speakers not too expensive and not too large either with a bass reflex vent in the front for my set of keyboards output mixer.

SOUNDS

I find the sound simply excellent. I was a little afraid that low are a little short but it is not. Presence of low good, good accuracy of the stereo image and a very good. The dynamics are excellent Prodipe although these are not very powerful (35w + 15w) It's not bad for a small set.

OVERALL OPINION

A wonderful discovery that these Prodipe 5 in its price range mini mini (even new) top sound, a nice finish and a reasonable size make it a great choice to excellent value for money.
Purchased € 150 for my pair used 3 months, there seems to be better (but probably more expensive too). Meanwhile, I really enjoy.

Event low in the front very useful when you can not keep them away from the wall.
buttons at the back, certainly, but notched and very convenient for calibration.
they are very nice and well finished.
adjustment of the curve at the top of the spectrum ..
9 for the buttons at the back.

SOUNDS

Interesting curve allows to find its mix very well.
they are less colorful than the PRO8 that increase a bit too guitar and voice, still a good place for pro5.
the stereo image is good as long as the place and to be placed correctly.
the highs are not aggressive and well defined. prolonged listening is not a problem.
The bass are present, well defined, quite surprising for a sample of this size and do not take precedence over the rest of the spectrum. not really need the box in most cases!
good directivity of waves even in a crappy room: really good!
Not the best but they are pregnant are more than sufficient to work very well for home recording.

OVERALL OPINION

3 months of use. I particularly like to work correctly moderate level. I find the bass much better defined than on near05experience.
top value for money.
I am more than satisfied!

I used these speakers for 3 months while waiting for my Pro 8. they are direct branches derrire my Mackie mixer. The finish is impcapble me black coating seems trs sensitive to scratches must be done rather attention. For the price the whole is more than adequate

SOUNDS

A lightweight in the acute lack I find it a little freelancing in the mix, otherwise inmpecable once you get used to 5 inches. For the tek I think it lacks power, APRS while the music is meant to be broadcast on the big sound while having much larger speakers. In short it is mostly my neighbors who will regret my Pro 5 ...

OVERALL OPINION

3 months used by the lightweight set is lacking in the treble and the lack of power not repeat listens and the super comfortable even for CD and DVD mix.

I use them to my little home studio PERSONAL.
The value for money has motivated my choice.
I do not put 10 as the button is located behind the speakers which is not really practical ...

SOUNDS

I find these speakers very transparent and very precise.
I'm pretty impressed with their respect for the dynamics of pieces ... Even pushing the sound, not boiled sound, while still has its place ... the dream.

For the stereo I'm in a very cramped so jne'm not better now positioned to aprlé, but it appears to be well respected.

OVERALL OPINION

I like: sound, value, setting the acute around 1kHz and look
I do not like: the buttons on the back

With the experience I remake this choice with his eyes closed!

For caratristiques => see below

Usage: modest little home studio, recording small models just for fun.

Config: Table 1832FX + FireWire + Solo laptop a team of Nuendo & Guitar Rig 2 + 1 + 3 BCF 2000 guitar amp combos + 2 + 1 + 1 X50 + K61 1 SM57 SM58 + 1 + 1 + some effects compressor SCOM + 1 more CD / DVD and many recess my Pro 5.

SOUNDS

Its clear?, Dynamic respect?, Stereo Image?, Frquence neutral?

Well frankly, I'm not ing sound but all I see (or rather I hear) is that the sound was smooth, well balanced and that whatever the power used.

OVERALL OPINION

I have three months from now, there is no particular feature I like least, before I had DX4 Then I tried the B2031A and 520 M1 and frankly there is no photos because given the config of my pice, the fact that they can be glued to the wall with wind faade, I finally have a real good record in terms of COST and relatively neutral, from me to say that the IDE the other is bad, but it's not just that they n'taient fits my need and can not set it correctly, I had low and frankly made by or importance of investment in the COST .....

The report price is frankly good quality: 300 pair, Aesthetics is not ugly, the rglages are simple, the quality at the top, its nickel.

Exprience with this choice I do it again without hsiter second.

I use 5 Prodipe a pice of 20/25 m2 and power is more than enough (knowing that I have no neighbors I hsit Pro8 with me but Pro5 more than enough. Be careful not to oversize! The Pro5 are directly connected to my MPC and the sound is great (Jack connection 6.35). The event is the lower front gnial because they can be put against a wall (which is not the case with most other monitor speakers). I do not use a subwoofer because the bass is powerful enough prcises.

SOUNDS

I am not a ing its just an amateur, and I find trs good in terms of image reproduction and stro frequencies. Dtails means all clear, in short, they perfectly fulfill their rle.
The bass is l. I read somewhere that someone was complaining of acute but I do not have that problem, they are clear and do not tire the ear.

OVERALL OPINION

I only use them for a week and I am perfectly satisfied. The ratio quality / price ratio is incredible. I had a problem with cons to beginners with one of grsillait pregnant, causing a distortion in lgre mdiums. The store has replaced IMMEDIATE me (apparently a problem for electronic) and all is well now. I'm still running so I do not push too much but they sound good even low volume.

November 26 Last day: I will see my note sacrment down. One of the speakers in the DCON carrment mdiums and it seems that the membrane vibrates. I'm going back to the store. It's been the same when deuxime ... two. I do not know if it's really bad luck, bad SERIES or lack of quality.

November 29: Previous forget my comment, it was I who DCON not pregnant ... I was just a crappy sample well. DSOL :-(

- Versatility at an attractive price!
- Monitoring of the trip hop .... rock ... electro .... it's going very well!
- It is connected to a twin track pro FOCUSRITE which has a monitoring range where I listen to my sound card output coax.

SOUNDS

Impec-neutrality. !
-RAS (attention, not easy to handle in space ...)
-His good, although I am new to RAS
Even if my models are not great, everything is even transcribed the dynamics ...

OVERALL OPINION

-6 Months of use at low doses
-Most: it looks solid and is serious! They do not tire my zozo!
the least: I have already sizzling as I never draws it ....??????? problem
-No
-Good value for money (300 € a pair ).... but my sizzling when I put much!
No, I would try to strip the ADAM little more expensive, but it's just curiosity.
I am very disappointed with my issue with stuttering because I thought seriously of prodipe .... of course as everyone makes me ch ... them back then - 1 points.
In any case, given the criticisms of other products in this area, so I had to change qqchose, would be my sound card to take advantage of my pro5

I needed speakers not too large with a good sound reproduction (not too much space in a room where you thrive aimenrait walls). In addition, they can be placed against the wall.
I use them for my home studio to do tricks on cubase

SOUNDS

I am not an expert but I think the sound is quite frankly. The highs and lows are present (despite the small size of the speakers) and all is well and truly homogeneous clear.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the Pro5 This now has three months and for comparison with the behringer, they are really very very good. I use them in a room of about 20 m in building the right not to put too much at night (especially a cot with a bambino.
But even by pushing, we keep an impressive sound quality.
For a purchase price of the like, there's not to say, it's really a bargain!

Compact speakers priced tight, used to mix demos rock, punk, ska, Gregorian chant on acid and burping contest.
perfect power for domestic use.

SOUNDS

Of happiness, I was frankly amazed.
The curve is neutral, the stereo nickel when well placed.
Clear sound, impressed by the rendering of serious listening to albums of reference.

OVERALL OPINION

I own them for three months. I rediscovered moult albums with pleasure.
I'll have to work is version and resume some old mix.
I have experience of some speakers (Mackie, Genelec) among friends. I'm really happy not to have spent my money for these models. The price / quality ratio is indecent so it's good.
I redo the choice without any problems. I think buy the subwoofer just for fun, because for now I do not feel the need.

I needed to vent a bass reflex enclosure with front panel, because I do not have enough back in my room. So the speakers are back to the wall.
I use a config amateur home studio. They are plugged into my card ESI ESP1010.

SOUNDS

The stereo image is impeccable ... better than for the KRK RP5. and the sound is much clearer. Less tiring to use. Dynamic level, great and powerful side, I started to 0db and I rule from the Control Panel of my sound card.
Obviously, it lacks a little low (though ....) but hey, given the size of bowls, it's normal.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought 4 days ago .... and frankly at the moment, I enjoy ....
I like the definition of sound and stereo image, even at low volume.
I appreciate the correction of high frequencies.
shame that the adjustment knobs, plugs and LED indicator are u running in the back. Front would have been better.
I tried several models: SAMSON Resolv 50R, Fostex PM05, KRK RP5 ...
and others with the vent on the rear panel: Tapco S6, M-Audio BX5, ESI and NearO5 Near05ex ...
I opted for Prodipe and I do not regret it.

I put 9 for controls on the rear.

EDIT: Bought in October 2006, I had to bring back one last week at the store, the amp dedicated to the low end seems to have dropped. Not Cool! ...
The shop lent me another waiting (quite nice! Thank Music West!)
I just saw that other people have had problems with electronic ... hum! Hopefully this is not a consequence of the low price of these speakers!. To see!
They always have such a good sound. I do not get enough!

Good sound / size / price / aesthetics (but I know not much)
- For what purpose? Listen on pc, because a little better than PC speakers.
After two days, the blue LED in the rear does not light up, I decided to open (Tampa for the guarantee) and I see the heatsink of the amp warm in the most fibre.De it dissipates heat in the enclosure as there is almost no thermal bridging with the metal rear cover to release heat to the outside ....?? very good to have electronic problems although The TDA2052 is normally protégé.J have turned the fiber Tampa for the amortization and anyway cest not too serious about these small speakers for the back of the HP wave is broken by irregularitées created by the printed circuit .... .......

SOUNDS

Speakers who owns one of his good Qualities (more hi-fi monitor) The cut is slightly subsonic bass (45Hz) which creates a lag in the low end because this small even at 50Hz speaker does not have enough ... more energy (speed of sound m / s) = 6.6 meters from 330/50Hz declined to hear a frank without the reverberation sound ....... Small box at around 120HZ not too serious , soundstage quite well respected (in relation to the size of the speakers of course) mid / high fatigent not that ... basically good record.

OVERALL OPINION

I do peus say more because it'm just 5 days that I have (running) to € 299 if they are in time is really a deal but if they let go after a year doing his chero.A see

I am semi-amateur composer (some titles released). Style: Trance
I hesitated with Yamaha, and my choice fell on them grace the event in the front (not behind).
They are connected to a Terratec DMX 6Fire 24/96 (which is not running a 24/96 for that matter, pc not strong enough)

SOUNDS

So after reading all components of their small size (2 small 5 ") and so-called lack of serious, I was a little afraid to get into this model.
I had the opportunity to be able to listen in the store. And even if listening in a large piece like this store did not give me a great impression, I am tempted, and I have not been disappointed.
The sound is very good, and the bass is very present! I was listening to electronic music (Trance, Hardtrance, hardstyle, etc. ...), I can say that I was not disappointed. It sounds! (Not as good as in the car with the subwoofer but hey, it's not comparable).
The other thing that surprised me is the spatialization. The difference is pronounced left-right (must be the case on all monitors, but I had never been heard before).
The highs are clear and do not hurt the ears.
on the other hand I have to admit the head hurt the 1ST 2 weeks (is there a connection with the use of this new material?)

OVERALL OPINION

It's been several months now that I use and I am very satisfied.
I did not want to slam miles and cents in, I am delighted.
For cons, I admit to not being "on the ass" by the quality as everyone by the way of my hi-fi speakers with these. So either they are not great, either I had a very good hi-fi rather neutral.

Ha, if there is just something that bothered me at first:
First connection, I get the sound, and I hear a small humming. Of course, it is very light, but I do not know if this is normal (as if there was a problem of mass). I never listen too hard, and it is almost inaudible (not noticeable when the music turns), so it does not interfere, but it surprised me a little at the beginning.
