(More customer reviews)The Tannoy 501A is simply a great mixing monitor speaker.
I wanted a small footprint monitor speaker, I purchased the 501a based solely on my research and Tannoy's reputation as a speaker manufacturer.
I was hesitant about buying a 5 inch Woofer speaker for mixing R&B and hip-hop music. It turned out to be a great choice, they look great and they sound great.
If you're worrying about the bass response, don't worry, it's good.
The Tannoy 501A is easy to set up and easy to use.
After using it for a short time I was able to correct my mixes quickly and easily.
Even for hip hop music the 501A have plenty of bass.
one of the first tracks i played was mobb deep the learning burn.
This is a great hip-hop track which shows what hip-hop is supposed to sound like,
Deep heavy tight bass and clear not shrill high end.
The 501 A's made it sound terrific with plenty of thump.
The stereo image of the 501A is wonderful, and the speakers themselves are not too big. The speakers feel very solid and well made.
The speakers do not come with the grill, so you have to be careful not to touch the speakers. The high-end on the speaker is very nice not shrill at all. You can do hours and hours of mixing without getting tired. The speakers have plenty of punch and you can really feel the compressors in your mix.
You can adjust the volume and the high-end to suit your taste, on the rear of the unit. I kept the volume at two o'clock and it was very loud, I adjusted the volume from my mixing board. Tannoy has a winner on its hands, definitely a speaker that could compete with the best of any 5 inch mixing monitor speaker.
The 501 A's revealed so much I had to redo some of my mixes to correct major mistakes that I just couldn't hear before. Speakers like these just make life easier, you can do your work better quicker and faster.
Conclusions: most of the speakers in this price range a really good. Most people have their personal preference, in all honesty I think you can do a good mix on any speaker in this price range from the major manufacturers. You have to consider durability and longevity in your purchase selection thinking. Who wants to spend $300 for a air speakers that only last a few months. I am very happy with my Tannoy purchase and I intend to use them until they blow up.
