                          What is the difference between monitor speakers and Hi-Fi speakers?


If you're still using Hi-Fi speakers to make do with mixes and recordings, your final product may sound very wrong. The reason we need monitors for our work is because monitors can help you dig deep into the most complex mixes and ensure that your finished audio will look good in your car stereo or on fancy Hi-Fi gear. A relatively accurate representation.

So what is the difference between monitor speakers and Hi-Fi speakers? In a nutshell: Hi-Fi speakers deliver high-quality sound, and monitor speakers faithfully reflect the original audio signal.


Hi-Fi speakers are specifically designed to give listeners a good listening experience. In many cases, this design is theoretically "beautifying" the sound, and they themselves boost some low and high frequencies (coloring) to create a very nice sounding effect, which is better than one that can Speakers that accurately represent the original recording do sound more seductive. So by comparison, some professional monitors tend to be less flattering, but the sound it will express will be more detailed and accurate.

For example, the low end of the monitor speakers may not sound as full, but when you hear your own mixes, it will be more layered, and all the components in the music are very clear. At the same time, professional monitor speakers will accurately reflect the sound range in the frequency range of 30hz-20kHz (approximate range, different brands of monitor speakers of different grades), which can better help you distinguish the air in the acoustic guitar. Or the sound of breathing in a human voice. Obviously, the clarity of the overall sound allows you to better distinguish the sounds of all the instruments, which helps you to better decide what to do with the audio, whether it is equalization, compression or other processing methods.


When optimizing sound depth and imaging, monitor speakers can help you better coordinate your sound, and can help you get more sound information when you mix down. Good monitor speakers can better transmit the left and right pan. relation. In addition, there is another thing that is easily overlooked, that is, the general Hi-Fi speakers are not as responsive as professional monitors.
