Studio monitors are specialized speakers designed for accurate sound reproduction in recording and mixing environments. Unlike consumer speakers, which enhance certain frequencies for a pleasing sound, studio monitors aim for a flat, neutral response to ensure that the audio engineer can make precise adjustments. Notable models include the Yamaha HS series, KRK Rokit, JBL 3 series, and Genelec 8000 series. Studio monitors are used in professional and home studios for mixing, mastering, and producing high-quality recordings.
