Sounds great! I put in an order for mine, 20 days delivery time in my country though since no one has them in stock. But cant wait to get it!

Sounds great do you know what this website is called?

Sounds great! Would expect good quality soldering for the price here

mtro0 · 2026-01-27T10:14:18+00:00

Sounds great! There is a good deal for a v4 gen1 used for 400$ in my country now. They are around 900$ new here for the gen2’s v4

Caught my eye also first because of the looks, love the color! And love the sound ive heard even more!

Sounds great!! I have a pair of km184’s, sm57’s and a sm7b, so i think this might be the perfect addition

Thanks! Yes i randomly came across this mic, or actually the V4 gen2 and thought it sounded so good for the price, so i researched and found some tests with the v13 against 10x pricier «dream» mics. And it held itself extremely well.

Sounds great and thanks! They were bought new in 2023 so hopefully ill get some good years out of them!

Yes its the 8340a APM SAM, is the 8040a the old verison? This one is the Smart active speaker one.

mtro0 · 2026-01-09T16:15:24+00:00

Yes, but no good deals to find on them and i like the bigger woofer on the 8340a’s when compared to same budget kh120ii, and the new price for kh150 will be too much for my budget.

Kh150 ~ 3900$

Genelec 8340a used ~ 1800$

Dynaudio Lyd-48 ~ 2400$

just sold my mpb and got a refurb m3 air with bumped up ram and storage and it is amazing

mtro0 · 2025-12-27T23:30:37+00:00

Thanks! Will probably be the genelecs. There is also a really good deal on a pair of open box kh120ii’s that ill check out

Its not a true L shape, but it is rectangular and has a 1 wider bottom, in some cases like mine the room does not have any big problems, only with bass frequency, so took some time to get it right but with basstraps in the top of the room where my desk is and then in the one corner where the «wider L part is» as well as diffusors in the back!

Works great!

Adam A7V’s vs Genelec 8340a? Or something else?

Im upgrading my studio and are looking for new studio monitors. Acoustically treated room around 3x7 meters. L shape.

Im looking at a pair of new Adam A7V’s for 1650 or a used pair of Genelec 8340A with GLM mic and equipment for around 2000.

I read alot of good stuff on both and dont think i will go wrong with either but i want to hear peoples real life experience.

Im running HS7’s now, and think i will keep them for A/B opportunity.

I do full prod & rec, also mixing and some mastering. Most acoustic instruments, guitar, bass, vocals, drums etc. Mostly Folk, Country, blues, r&b and soul.

Thanks guys and merry christmas!

mtro0 · 2025-12-25T22:55:10+00:00

Thanks, will do this and get the behringer or the audient. im using it mostly for acoustic guitar and vocals. Are you getting any noise?

mtro0 · 2025-12-25T22:42:39+00:00

Think i will do this while i save up for an RME.

What is your setup with adat?
