ParticipantThe SRM 150 is closer to the NPM5. I considered that one before I bought the NPM100.
ParticipantWell, I finally got the bracket and the screws don’t fit the threads in the speaker. I’m debating now to just return everything, or try to find some replacement screws for the bracket. On a side note, this bracket is actually a pretty well made piece of hardware and it’s pretty heavy too. The buzz that the speaker produces is a little annoying when doing some late night listening because everything is turned down low and the noise is more easily detected. I’m wondering what would happen if I open one of them up and install a ferrite core on the speaker wires going to the driver? Do you think it would silence that noise since it seems to be in the upper frequencies anyway. I haven’t done a pink noise reading on it yet, but it seems just a little bright so the ferrite core may actually help. Well, I need to decide before I’ve had them too long to return.
ParticipantPlacement of these matters with two them. They’re surprisingly loud, as you said previously and give a lot more bass if near a wall. It’s nice to finally have the rated specs on them because Numark has the wrong info on their site. I wish they would have put the mounts on the side with the wedge for a lot more flexibility but I’m still waiting on the bracket to arrive to see how much that matters. Lots of fun to mix on and so far, they feel more than adequate enough to monitor from with plenty of gain for my needs. I think I’m gonna be happy with them in the long run. They get a thumbs up from me. Thanks again DJ Vintage and I’m gonna go to my local music store this weekend to try out some mic stand options.
ParticipantThat’s very helpful because I want to look around for a good solution. Thanks for the helpful advice. I’m thinking about getting a table mic stand but I think that with the NS7II, I may create too much movement. I’ll have to take it to a local store to test it out on one of their stands. I need to get my hands on that mount first…
ParticipantI think I’m gonna go ahead and order a second speaker while they’re available. What kind of mic stand are you using, and how stable is it?
ParticipantI found the BMS10A adapter. It’s a little pricey for such a simple thing, so I’m going to order only one to see how well it works. Thanks for the information. I’m beginning to really appreciate this little speaker and I’m really considering a second one for stereo sound. I’ll let you know if I do, and how they sound. A single unit gets pretty loud but they don’t like too much bass.
ParticipantWell, I finally received it and I really like it. It’s nice to finally see the specs on it because Numark’s website has the wrong pdf for the owners guide (it shows the one for the NPM5). It’s excellent for a monitor and is quite loud. The manual has some incorrect information about the inputs but I quickly figured it out for myself. I would recommend it to someone looking for a practice monitor, and the build quality is durable as you stated. It isn’t a stereo speaker at all (which is another area where the advert is misleading), but I’m thinking about ordering a second one to see what a stereo pair sounds like. They are a surprisingly clear, seeing as they contain full range drivers (I expected them to sound a little dull in the highs).
Can you provide a link or a part number for the speaker mount because the manual makes no reference to mounting them. I expected them to come with an adapter or something explaining how to mount them. I think I’ll keep it and as I said before, I may even get another one while they’re still available.
Thanks for the initial feedback on them because I may have passed them up otherwise. They fit my needs exactly.
ParticipantI know this is very old, but I just recently ordered one of these and I was very hesitant because of the lack of information available on this speaker. Numark has discontinued it but I managed to find a place that still had them available. You sound as though you had exactly the same need as me for this type of speaker and I’m even more relieved to know that it performed better than the Rokit 5 because that was going to be my alternative. Numark is claiming it to be a stereo capable speaker but I can’t verify this. I guess I’ll have to find out when I get it. Can you verify this? The reason I ask is, do I need to order a second one, or will a single unit be sufficient? I plan to mount this in front of my NS7ii when it arrives, especially if it’s stereo capable.
