Can the Uher 4200 report speaker be used as a truth monitor speaker?

Not sure yet.


Here are some considerations:


The Auratone 5C cube speakers with 5in fullrange are called the truth speakers by a great producer such as Quicy Jones and used while mixing great songs such as Billy Jean - Michael Jackson.


The Uher 4200 report contains a 3in x 5in fullrange (oval) drive unit.


Pleiades recodings on Uher 4200 sound great on Sennheiser HD-580 but not great (although somewhat realistic) on the Uher 4200 speaker. But this may be a problem of the Pleiades recordings not being that good. Pleiades microphone filters have not been used yet on Uher 4200 to increase treble, reduce bass heaviness.


How to proceed?


Perhaps re-recording on Uher 4200 report Billy Jean - Michael Jackson from a good source and listen to how it sounds through the Uher speaker. If it sounds great and amazing then all is set. Ie it may be concluded that if something sounds amazing on the Uher monitor speaker it will sound amazing on most speakers?


It would be also nice if speaker output is provided while recording takes place if acoustic delay is needed. (Some time takes for the acoustic wave in air to travel from monitoring speaker to microphone, (attention to feedback, volume should be low)). Would this be useful for example when recording outdoors or indoors? Can Pleiades Auratone 5C type speakers be connected to Uher 4200 report for monitoring or creation delay together with original, artificial double tracking purposes?


Later addition:


Speaker sounds nice. Great treble detail too.
