Which Monitors Did I Choose…  Neumann KH420 vs Focal Trio 11 Be Review
I’ve just moved into a new space and I’ll be building a fresh music studio from the ground up. This gives me the chance to change a lot of things I didn’t like about my previous studio, primarily the monitoring system. I’ve decided to opt for larger 3-way mains with enough bass extension that I don’t need a sub. I’ve narrowed my search down to the Neumann KH420 and the Focal Trio 11 Be. For the past 2 months I’ve had both sets on loan from Long & McQuade, our local retailer, and I’ve had a chance to listen to them extensively. In this video I’ll reveal which ones I chose and why. Smash that link and join me to learn which monitor won the day!
