Tascam VL-X5

Description: The VL-X5's extraordinary sound quality can be attributed to its components and how they work together. A custom ... more

Tascam VL-X5 ... designed 1-inch silk high frequency driver and a 5.25-inch low frequency driver are coupled with 30 and 60 watt power amplifiers made especially for the VL-X5, giving you crisp, tight highs and rich deep bass. Flat frequency response up to 22kHz makes the VL-X5 a great mixing and mastering monitor. Magnetic shielding means you can safely place a pair of VL-X5s next to your DAW computer screen, and the Acoustic Space Control allows you to place the monitors against a wall or in tight studio corners.

... would be that the on / off switch on the reverse is rather difficult to get to, especially if you have them like I do with the backs up against the wall. I find myself having to stretch behind them in order to switch them off daily which can become somewhat irritating. This could I'm sure be easily solved by having the switch on the front. I also haven't found the connections to be very secure and have found myself on a number of occasions having to adjust the cables. Generally though, the sound is excellent, and...more

I did a lot of research and took a great deal of advice from a variety of sources before I purchased these. I was not dissapointed. The sound quality is superb. They are also a good size and are not particularly heavy.

I bought my Tascam VL-X5 monitors after having done thorough research online as to what the best monitors I could get within this price range was. I was convinced by my research that the these Tascam monitors were the best monitors my money could buy, being that I was on a very limited budget.

I am able to better define the low end of my mixes. I can add low end thump and ... Read the complete review

These really are incredibly good value for money if you're looking for a pair of powered monitors. Note these are not hi-fi speakers for regular home use (although I use them quite happily for that too) but rather for music producers who want to accurately hear the frequency characteristics of music. In my case, as I mess around with electronic tones, frequency accuracy was key. Sound quality ---------------- The sound quality is great and I'm convinced it's down to the location and type of baffle (2 slots either side of the tweeter) these speakers have. Although the front baffle enhances the bass, it retains definition. Oddly, because of the ... Read the complete review
