    Windows 11

    In my case (see above #6) BitLocker was prepared (visible in disk management as '(BitLocker)') but was not activated. If you avoid to press 'activate', no need to unlock the drive(s) / partition(s). Just deactivate via cmd: Open Windows-Terminal (Administrator) Write get-bitlockervolume and...

    Windows 11

    I have it installed on my X1 Yoga Gen 6 as dualboot (Win 10 / Win 11). (Dualboot needs Quick Start to be deactivated!) -The screen for selection of the operating system was working in the background but not visible (Intel IRIS Xe graphics driver problem; solved with driver version 30.0.100.9955)...

    Setting up bookshelf speakers for nearfield listening?

    The angle of dispersion solely depends on the mechanical construction of the speaker and has nothing to do with HiFi or Professional. Mounting a HF driver on a baffle larger than the driver itself causes some umwanted side effects. The dispersion gets more narrow and compromised by reflections...

    Setting up bookshelf speakers for nearfield listening?

    True. Neumann calls the KH 310 a nearfield.

    Setting up bookshelf speakers for nearfield listening?

    The Neumann KH 310 is more than four times larger than the KH 80 and has no integrated DSP. I admit that the Neumann KH 310 goes definitely further down than the KH 80. However, if I need more bass, I use my big monitors (same as currently in EMI Abbey Road Studio 1).

    Setting up bookshelf speakers for nearfield listening?

    The NS10 was used by the engineers to check, how their recordings would sound on an average HiFi system. Studio Monitors ? Definitely not. Going from Neumann KH 80 DSP to Neumann KH 310 seems to me like moving from nearfields to midfields (a matter of size and space).

    Setting up bookshelf speakers for nearfield listening?

    M-Audio calls it 'space switch'. It's intended to compensate for placement near walls (back, front, side). The BX5 has its vent port at the back. Other monitors have it in front (allows placement against wall).. Switches on the Neumann KH 120 are for LF (tone control), Mid (to compensate for the...

    Setting up bookshelf speakers for nearfield listening?

    True "Studio Monitors" normally have balanced inputs and therefore require a preamp / computer audio interface with balanced outputs. Since HF drivers only cover about 3¼ octaves (2kHz - 20kHz) out of a maximum of up to 10 octaves (20Hz - 20kHz), the Mid/Low drivers are likely to have a more...
