Default How consistent are studio monitors of the same make and model?

They were the archetypal cheap and nasty speaker.


But they were (and still are) a consistent and reliable cheap and nasty
speaker. They are the same in every studio. That was a big deal back in
the days of big soffit-mounted systems that sounded different in every
control room, and even though it's not as big a deal today it's still a
thing people like.

I'm not sure it's as good a mix check as it used to be... people are more
often listening on desktop 2.1 systems that are awful in different ways
than the NS-10 is awful.

Agreed.

I have one such nearby....
