ABSTRACT
The monitor system consists of a monitor mixer, loudspeakers, and the listening room. A nearfield monitor is a small, wide-range speaker typically using a cone woofer and dome-shaped tweeter. It sounds very clear and provides sharp stereo imaging. Using nearfield monitors makes the room acoustics less important, but it still helps to put absorbent material on the wall behind the monitors. This treatment improves the monitor's sound, reduces boominess and ringing, and makes transients sharper. Most monitor speakers have a power amplifier built in. Each passive monitor speaker requires a cable coming from the power-amp outputs. KRK Systems ERGO is a monitor controller that corrects a room's phase and frequency-response errors, resulting in accurate monitoring, so mixes translate better to other systems. The cue system is a monitor system for musicians to use as they are recording. Headphones for a cue system should be durable and comfortable.
