Find the ideal studio monitor speakers to suit your needs — from a small desk setup to precision mixing in a larger room.

For a home studio and music from your computer or phone

The Edifier MR5 are a pair of speakers with 5" woofers and 110W of total power—enough to fill the room where you record or listen to music with sound. The XLR/TRS combo input lets you connect them to your audio interface with a balanced cable, which helps keep noise at bay.

When you’re done working, play music from your phone via Bluetooth or from your computer via RCA. The headphone output helps you check the details without changing cables.

For a Small Desk and Room

The Presonus Eris 3.5 2nd Gen speakers have 3.5" woofers and are 14 cm wide each, so they fit on either side of your monitor. They deliver 50 W of total power, enough for near-field listening at your desk.

Connect them via 1/4" TRS to an audio interface, or via RCA to a computer or mixer. Use them for both music production and everyday listening.

For precise mixing down to the finest details

The Adam T5V features a 1.9" tweeter that reproduces frequencies up to 25 kHz, so you can clearly hear details in vocals, cymbals and reverb. The 5" woofer reaches down to 45 Hz.

Its maximum SPL of 106 dB and DSP let you work at high volume, too. It connects via XLR or RCA. Sold individually, so you’ll need two for a stereo setup.

For More Bass in a Larger Room

The KRK RP7 G5 has a 7" woofer, delivering more bass than monitors with 5" woofers, without a separate subwoofer. With a maximum output of 110 dB, it can also fill a larger room.

It features DSP for digital audio processing and connects to your audio interface via XLR or 1/4" TRS. Sold individually, so you’ll need two for a stereo setup.

For connecting to a computer without an audio interface

The Adam D3V speakers connect directly to your computer via USB-C, so you don’t need a separate audio interface. At 11.5 cm wide and 20 cm tall each, they’re easy to set up on a desk.

Despite their compact size, they deliver 240W and feature a three-way design. With Bluetooth, you can play music from your phone, while the headphone output lets you work late into the night.

Before choosing, measure the space on your desk and the size of the room, and check the outputs on your sound card or computer. This will help you determine what woofer size and connections you need.
