Re: Neumann KH-series vs. Abacus C-series grudge match?!

For room reasons the Kali In-Unf ultra nearfield with desktop Bass unit is on my radar. https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/kali-audio-in-unf Looks like a very convenient package. I noticed that Paul White mentioned some bass overhang in his review, though, which would concern me a little for mixi...

Re: Neumann KH-series vs. Abacus C-series grudge match?!

Yeeeeah. My query should really been just for the C-Box4 without the sub C-Bass10. Even then, I'm afraid it's still what Hugh said: the room's an important factor whether you're monitoring quiet or loud. And in condensing my 20-minute review down to 100 words, you've inevitably left a little nuance...

Re: Neumann KH-series vs. Abacus C-series grudge match?!

He's saying they sound as good (albeit different) and cost the same. So they are an alternative, rather than better. But not easily available in the UK at present. I don't think there's any benefit to (ex)changing an existing KH system for a C system, and since it's difficult to buy in the the UK a...

Re: Neumann KH-series vs. Abacus C-series grudge match?!

Do Abacus actually have a UK distributor? It doesn't look like it. They currently sell direct to dealerships in Germany. But I'd personally pay for shipping of the C-Box 4s from them if I were shopping for a sub-1.5k full-range mixing system for a small studio (they're priced at 1.3k Euros) -- I ju...

Neumann KH-series vs. Abacus C-series grudge match?!

Hi all, Over the past few years I've been carefully following the parallel development of the project-studio 2.1 monitoring systems from Neumann (ie. KH80 / KH120 satellites with KH750 subwoofer) and Abacus Electronics (ie. C-Box3 / C-Box4 satellites with C-Bass10 subwoofer) -- and it's proving to b...

Re: Plug ins - there must be a general principle at work here!

Funny for me reading this thread, because I've been rendering my mixes in real time for years on account of previous experiences I've had like this. That said, it's partly because I still use a lot of freeware, and some rather old freeware too, where there isn't any support as such. Hence why I alwa...

Thanks for the super-kind words Hugh! :blush: Apparently, Mike has a special launch week promotion planned with some worthwhile bonus material for early purchasers, so check out his website for details.
