Is the better to purchase two of these monitors (left and right balance) or try to work with one? Thanks for the help! lowbitlogic.com

One should be just fine. Having two doesn't have much stereo field, and the Mixcube is more for checking mono compatibility and balance.

I have other speakers for stereo field. I use one of these for mono check and especially the midrange detail that comes from a single driver of this size.

Pro studios seem to always have two. I have only one but it has made a tremendous difference. Two would give you a stereo field, of course, but I like that it's always in mono because I'm mixing with bluetooth mono speakers in mind. I don't know if the studios get two out of habit and access to cash or if I'm missing something important in my setup. You can certainly start with one and get another later if you feel you're missing something important.

Depends of the purpose, my friend. I purchased only one as I use it for checking mono compatibility during mastering. If you're mixing, you might want to consider getting a pair to check how the overall mix would sound (R+L), and how all elements sit on your mix. Cheers.

1 works perfect for me. I only use to refrence in mono and check balances and main vocal. I don't see myself ever needing the pair. But do make sure you have a good pair of mains and some room treatment.

I bought one active. After a lot of research online I found that most pros and experienced users suggested buying one active, as they're mono anyway. Love it, BTW.

If you want to check your mix in mono, purchase only one. It would be the equivalent of checking your mix through the proverbial old car radio speaker. If you have no other studio monitors, then purchase two.

I presently have three monitors connected to the card with two other slots available. Since I do not have the need for five monitors I have not tested such a configuration however, the three that I have work perfectly. One for gaming, one for general use, and the other for streaming Netflix movies. Being ADHD this config satisfies my need for multiple views. :-)

Yeah, that should work fine. Just remove the 2nd monitor mount. I have two of these that I've used for around 3 years with 4 24" monitors (also for coding) and they're perfect.

Yes, the is the ability to adjust the monitors both horizontally and vertically. The vertical "tilt" is probably around 15 degrees or so, which seems more than adequate. Having a second monitor above the lower does not seem to be an issue. I tilt the upper monitors downwards a bit and have no problems. I have 2 of these units due to limited horizontal footprint of my computer desk, so 4 27 in monitors.

well...yes and no. You can with the lower, but the upper you will normally have tilted downward for better viewing and as the side monitors are angled on both axis all you will get is the top inside corner for them. If you do decide to keep the top straight then yes to both :)

Your intended setup is very similar to mine and it has worked fine. The center monitor will protrude much more than the side monitors, however, so you may consider purchasing a replacement middle mount that does not have the angle adjusters. It allows the center monitor to be mounted closer to the stand itself.

I currently use this monitor for my dual set-up and have a friend who is utilizes it for a triple monitor setup. I have no complaints and neither does he, although finding ports for all the inputs into my computer was a hassle, but that's a problem with the PC not the monitors. Solid product for what you'd be looking to do I imagine

One monitor works for both. I love this product. It is a life saver, literally. It takes out the guess work, and gives you so much peace of mind, not having to check on the patient constently, with worry.

You need to get 1 pair, these are monitors so the left one will be displaying the left pan sound, and the right will be doing the same for the right pan sound, so if you only buy one, you'll have to set the pan to only one monitor which won't be as powerful, hope I helped

Jessica, I would check the specs on the monitor stand( you probably already have) . I wish I could be more help as I currently am using the Monitor on its original stand. If you post a link to your dual arm stand maybe I can help or somebody else could look into it. The monitor is truly amazing. gluck Jessica

You're welcome! I love this monitor. I've bought two already and might be purchasing another one. :)

It's overkill for a single monitor. It's designed for two to free up desktop space. There is no counterbalance to offset the weight of a single monitor.

The monitor shows up as a second display. Anything that works on a second display should work on this.

Mine was a new purchase two years ago and has performed better than any of my previous monitors. I would attempt an exchange with your supplier if you had eliminated possible video card, power or cable problems. Good luck, great monitor.

The issue will be power, it uses two powered USB ports for power supply. The port on the monitor is a micro USB you could probably use alternate means of power. I don't have the power specs on hand to advise what would be best for alternative power.

Hello Michael,I think one need to play with the different viewing angles and see what works best. Sometimes I switch angles because of wanting to change my sitting position, other times, it depends on what application I'm actually using wit hthe product. As was mentioned already, a monitor mountign arm works wonders in finding that perfect viewing angle.- C.

I have an older monitor upstairs that's not portable.....plug in type & side by side, they both give the same readings. So I take it that either both are wrong....or....both are correct. The readings fall in line with the governments upper normal values for my area. Hope this helps. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.
