Dynaudio BM6A MKII Active Studio Monitor

These monitors were given to me by a client that couldn't afford to pay me for my services. He asked if I would take these monitors as a down payment (then I never heard from him again). Long story short, I got some killer monitors and he lost out. These monitors are amazing! I think the only thing I would add is a nice sub to really push the sound further, but I end up boosting the lows a little bit when I'm mixing to compensate for only having the stereo pair. I would buy Dynaudios again if I ever need to replace these guys. Highly recommended for my workflow of rock and metal.

I actually made most of my tracks back in the day on a simple and cheap HIFI music set that I got from my parents when I was a little kid. When I finally upgraded to these monitor speakers when I was in my late 20ies it was a different world alltogether. I could finally hear what I was doing in the low bass-frequency area :) Own these speakers for a long time now and I'm still happy with them to this day

My monitors

Like all monitors they deserve a good room, as mine suffer very unfortunate flat parallel walls. The manual says they take a few hours to warm up on first use - very true, I noticed a marked change5 or 6 hours in.. My 'left' BM6aIII had quite a unique problem. A loud and explosive 'popping' sound would happen, repetitively and quickly, after I turned it on first thing in the morning. I sent it to be repaired but it's now coming back slowly. If anyone has had a similar problem I'd really appreciate any advice you may have on fixing it!

Excluding that odd mechanical issue which I'm sure is very rare, they are possibly the most valuable investment I've ever made... Also they appear to be getting cheaper with the release of new models, so quickly!!! Go Shopping!!!

These monitors have been with me for almost a decade and they are still one of my favourites. The sound is really detailed across the whole frequency range. The mids are clear and offer a good stage and are great for mixing as they will reveal everything. The highs are crips but not tiring, so you can spend long studio sessions with minimal fatigue. These coped with a Subpac allow you to hear the full frequency range all the way down.
