The larger the subwoofer the louder it can go and the deeper the sound. For a home studio, 10 inch or 12 inches should be ample. Having a larger subwoofer will also prevent you from turning it up to levels it cannot handle. If you push a subwoofer too far you will begin to experience distortion.30-Mar-2022

What size subwoofer do I need for studio?

Is a studio subwoofer worth it?

If you need a subwoofer for your studio, it's worth the money, but if you're not sure and just wondering what it might add — and you've already got good stereo monitors and your acoustic space isn't swallowing the bass — that money might be better spent on other components.

Do you need 2 studio monitors?

Most studio monitors are sold individually. Some studio monitors, however, come in sets. For producing music, you'll need good stereo sound, meaning 2 speakers. That's why we recommend buying 2 identical studio monitors, or going for a set of 2 monitor speakers.

What is a good frequency range for a subwoofer?

A 20-120 Hz rating is best for bass in most subwoofers. The lower the Hz, the more is the bass you can get. Some of the best subwoofers in the market have this Hz range. If you are buying a subwoofer that has a fixed Hz rating, you should ensure it is lower than 80 Hz if the bass is important to you.

Where should I put my subwoofer in my studio?

The biggest recommendation when it comes to setting things up is your studio subwoofer placement. You want to place the subwoofer in the middle between your two studio monitors. With low-end frequencies, you don't want to be able to hear where the bass is coming from. You want to feel it everywhere equally.

Can you mix different size subwoofers?

Technically, yes you can install two different sized subs in the same box. For example, let's say you are making your own box and already have a 15” subwoofer and a 12” subwoofer.

Can a single speaker make music?

If you only have one speaker you are taking away your ability to pan instruments and create an effective, and ultimately professional, sounding track. Mixing everything in mono can make everything sound muddy, with all those instrument tracks competing for attention.

Can you mix on one studio monitor?

It is possible to mix music with only one studio monitor. There will be an option in your DAW (Digital Work Station) where you can switch the audio to mono. In the mono option, all the music mix will be on the same channel which means you can hear everything clearly only on one monitor.
