Stage Right by Monoprice SV28 8in Bi-amplified Powered Studio Monitor Speakers w/ 150W Class AB Amp and 1" Silk Dome (pair)
Monoprice Adjustable 33 lb. Capacity Speaker Wall Mount Brackets (Pair), Black
BEST ANSWER: First thing I would want to know is the weight of these speakers. Powered speakers are heavier than a traditional speaker. Second item before you mount the bracket to the speaker itself, I would take the screws out of the back to make sure that you don’t hit any of the internal components. Would it work? Probably but you might want to look at a sturdier mount just because of the weight.

Not exactly. Those mounts are meant for rear mounting to threaded holes these speakers don't appear to have. Futhermore, because they're active, there's a PCB under that rear plate I'd be concerned about hitting if you tried making your own. You could mount from underneath, but it's probably better to use a platform-type mount system

About 20 lb and they are a direction product , I personally would not mount to a wall. Your going to be moving them them around. I would buy short desktop stand meant for studio monitors.

Why do the specs list 35Hz as the lowest frequency, but the lowest low cut setting on the back is 50hz?
A shopper
on Sep 8, 2020
BEST ANSWER: A low cut attenuates frequencies BELOW the chosen value. If you're wondering why there isn't a low cut position of 35Hz, it's because then there is nothing for that low cut to do—it's not reproducing anything under 35Hz.

But, does it have a hard cutoff at 50hz (meaning designed to require a sub) or at 50hz is there no LF cutoff?

Can i hook this up to my Marantz 8802 with the XLR out puts?
Scott M
on Jan 13, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Yes, they also have quarter inch phone plugs also with a little creative wiring you should be able to make the connection. Keep in mind that they are flat response near field studio monitors and not stereo home speakers.

You can but make sure the Marantz XLR output is not sending powered output. It uses the built in amp.

According to the manual, this unit has a high-pass filter switch on the back. You can select the corner frequency but you can not disable the filter. The lowest selectable corner frequency is stated as 50hz, yet the frequency response is stated as 35hz to 20khz. With a corner frequency of 50hz, these speakers will not be able to reproduce 35hz. What gives?
-- I see a simpler version of this question asked and answered, but the answer is invalid: the filter cuts the electrical signal below 50hz. Even if (and especially if) the speaker can not reproduce frequencies below 50hz, a 50hz high-pass filter would be relevant, because excessive frequencies below that point would still cause cone motion and could harm the speakers or, at very least, cause inter-modulation distortion.
So, again, we know that the high-pass filter corner frequency electrically defines the effective "F3" of the speaker. Why does the filter indicate 50hz when the (presumably) --3db point is stated as 35hz?

BEST ANSWER: No electrical filter is perfectly sharp. I am fairly certain that these have a 1st-order high-pass response, meaning if the corner frequency (the –3dB point) is 50 Hz, the –6 dB point is 25 Hz, so there is still plenty of signal at 35 Hz. If the mechanical –3 dB point is 35 Hz, you probably still have around –6 dB of acoustic response with the combination of the high-pass and the mechanical filters at 35 Hz.

Very good sounding monitors
Very clear, pretty uncolored sound with nice bass response. Direct A/B comparison between recorded and live guitar and bass sounds very comparable and doesn't seem to require much room eq to match the live sound. For the price, you can't go wrong.

Good Studio Monitors
These studio monitors project quite a big sound. The do have a bit of self noise but thats to be expected at this price point. They project quite a bit of bass. I do wish they had a front facing bass port. Be aware, they are pretty big as well.

Bigger and also better
Got these as an upgrade so some very old cheaper M-Audio powered monitors, and my two unoriginal notes are:
- These things are much, much bigger and heavier than I expected. I should have expected it given the reviews. I was still surprised. I'll have to rearrange some things to get these at the right level and orientation.
- These sound amazing. I'm hearing nuances and details that I'd never noticed before in music I've listened to countless times. Very excited to enjoy them for years to come.

Pleasantly Surprised
For the price, these were more than I could have asked for. Great sound quality, no low level hums or buzzing at idle, they go to sleep after inactivity... all things I did NOT expect at this price point, but am happy to have (along with the rest of the money I would have spent on a similar pair.) Id recommend these to anyone looking for a pair of monitors on a budget, or just starting out.

Hissing noise makes unusable for recording
Returned due to loud hissing sound always present. I am so disappointed because they look great, are well built and speakers sound superb. However, the electronics are so noisy that the constant hiss renders these unusable as recording monitors. At least Monoprice return policy is very good.

Great Value
Can't beat the sound quality for the price - I took one star off because like another reviewer here, the auto-shutoff is causing a minor annoyance. I don't have any issues with them turning off while I'm using them, but I don't like having to wait 3-5 seconds for the speakers to come out of hibernation when I need sound. Really not a deal-breaker though.
