damn man. that is super hot! i am new to the audio world of monitors/etc - how do these connect to the computer? they only have XLR + RCA input. i wouldnt mind springing out for these
they have TRS, XLR and RCA. you can use a Double TS to mini-jack to do it simple. (just plug it in the phones - out) but i got them connected to the audio controller in my desk (*look at pictures) with 2 separate TRS cables and the controller in the desk has a firewire connection. wich i use a 400 to 800 cable to fit my imac. it does increase sound quality. and allows me to hook up microfones and gives me a dB meter and big volume knob + easy control over volume of headphones.
name of the controller: T.C. Electronic Desktop Konnekt 6
EDIT: and with these u really dont even need a bass. u can buy it xtra. for the really low frequencies. but these KRK are the best when comparing price and quality.
hey man, thanks for the reply! i would be interested in a fw800 sound device - a tiny one (getting too poor!). can i ask how much those speakers set you back? im in australia - havent really found a very cheap reseller here yet from what i can see
so you dont require a sub? ive been listening to a lot of dubstep of late, which requires some bass

no you would not need a sub. unless you're really into annoying your neighbors
u could buy one to give it some more low frequencies. but the ''punch'' in these monitors is fantastic. if u get them between 1/ 1,5 meter from each other and sit around a meter away. the sound is definitely gorgeous.when i bought these they were 150 euros for each speaker. (directly from the store) nowadays they got the new generation 2 ones wich are more expensive, u might try find some second hand? i think with some luck u should be able to get a pair at around 150/200.(euros) the desktop konnekt is awesome but there are equivalents. desktop konnekt costs around 200 euros here. im sure u can find other brands at around 100 euros but non of them will look as ''apple design'' like as the desktop konnekt. for more questions. do not hesitate to ask. if u want to know more specific things u can also ask for my msn or such.
I've forgot to post my little chillout area
Aaaa btw thanks for the nice cirtique on my setup

Recent Pic I took the other week
that is gorgeous! Can I get the full size of that for a wallpaper?
Couple of photos of the office/studio. Only been here for like 3 weeks now. Started with absolutely nothing and am working there. All I started with was the Macbook and monitor and the rent. Sucks, but our families can't help us so we are doing it on our own. It's a bit more satisfying though! I do want to eventually get a lot of Ikea crap but that is down the road. Lenses and equipment come first!
Set up while visiting my parents home clear across the country. I am going to grad school in Baltimore, MD, my parents live in San Jose, CA. iPad doesn't belong to me anymore Now my mom's lol.
The good ol' kitchen set up got so much nicer since they bought a new kitchen table an orchids.

Moved my stuff to the other side of the room.
Love it. What speakers are those?

what stand is that for the ipad
Thanks. Turns out these are the infamous speakers that no one in the UK can get hold of
So are you now living in this "studio" or is this rent on top of your housing? Curious as to how much a studio like this runs where you're at.

holy crap! 150euros! thats pretty darn expensive. given that i live in australia, ill add another 100 euros
we have expensive stuff i doubt i will be able to find any 2nd hand in australia. but i will certainly look!a quick ebay has found this konnekt/.
a quick look on ebay shows aout $700aus/$630US for the speakers.. farout.
Nope. We have an apartment, my wife and I only a few blocks away from it. The studio is only those three rooms. It's 495$/month inclusive. Yep, I scored. : ) As it so happens the owner owns a floral arranging company downstairs and the work he sends my way is awesome. Theres also 2 food places in the plaza, and some other shops.. and a wicked good candy store. Truffles.
500 a month and it's on the Main Street in my city. It's way cool. The owner has a great security system installed with cameras and infrared cameras so it's safe too. Internet is 30 a month extra for broadband, we're getting that turned on next month. Just being able to leave the AC on all day while I am in Adobe is a plus. I need a decent desk chair though. The walmart foldy chair and butt pillow still hurts.
i cant believe that.. 495 a MONTH!? im looking at about 300 for a week here in australia

Do you live in a large metro area? A quick Wikipedia shows that Cedar City, Utah (where Beck lives) has like 25 000 people. In Toronto I pay about $1400 a month. In Shanghai, my family forked out $6000 a month. If you want to save a lot of cash, move far far away from everything. Move out of Australia, as a matter of fact. I can't believe the cost of living over there sometimes.
Its not that far from civilization : ). It has around 40,000 people (your wik reference was of the 2000 census). It's also 40 miles or so from St. George, 2 1/2 hours from Las Vegas and about the same from Salt Lake City. It's got a university, and has a major international ski resort 15 miles from it. It's not so bad. It's by no means metro (I am orig. from San Diego, only moving here when I was 18), but it suffices.
That really is a good description though. You can get ahead, and you can make money right now by just moving somewhere developing or smaller-ish.
We're only paying about a grand a month for both the apartment and the studio. As of next week we're going through another big change though.
We're moving in with my older brother. He started a business here 10 years ago (glass glazier) and owns his own 5,000 square foot home. So we're taking the basement. No rent! So we're saving up every single check my wife gets (besides paying the rent for the studio) and saving the profit from the studio business and then in around 6-8 months we're moving to St. George or Salt Lake.
If the business goes well (sorry about the huge discussion in this thread) here, then we may kick it at brother's for a bit more. The only other expense besides studio rent we have is our Gold's membership, and 1500$ we have to pay off to the local movie theaters in Southern Utah. I am taking out a 30 second ad to be shown before the movies here, for my business.
I hope it goes well though, thank GOD for cheap rent. Yah I am thankful for scoring this, and for my brother. Now I can finally get ahead. I'm on Facebook if anyone wants to see more photos of the studio and whatever.

As far as the setup goes, I need... NEED a new chair. ahhaa I would also like a couch. I love those leather ikea ones that are low profile. I have that little art gallery in my front area and need some seating.
*** I wanna add that usually around here a spot like I am renting, would go for 1000+ a month. The guy was desperate and the economy sucks. Plus the lure of a steady good renter was too much to pass up.
the price that i said would be for my local town of about 6,000 people, AND a city of +1,000,000 people (the Gold Coast in Australia if anybody knows it).
