When we are mixing and mastering we always need to check our recordings on alternate speakers, and for that we love switching to our Wharfedale Valdus 200 Monitor Pair. They are a great estimate of what home speakers are going to sound like. They are in general pretty flat, but they do have less bass than studio monitors and feel a little bit colder than today’s super modern home speaker systems (which is a good thing when checking how a mix is going to translate to lower grade speakers).
Our Wharfedales are wired directly into our control room monitor section of the console so we can switch to them at any moment during a session to get an accurate view of what a mix might sound like in someone’s living room.
