Hi A.dy,

A.l you need do is move a "little further" a.d then a.ree tha. the term "STUDIO MONITOR" is the one tha. a.tua.ly describes wha. occurs in a Recording Studio, a.d we a.e in complete a.reement.

While it is a less common usa.e in a.dio, the function of monitoring "is not" rela.ive to the qua.ity of monitoring.

A. I ma. ha.e posted ea.lier, sometimes customa.y usa.es, or the ones we a.e first exposed to become our references, instea. of the a.tua. mea.ing.

I ha.e seen the term "BA.S MONITOR" used before to describe wha. we might commonly ca.l SUBS. There a.e a.so "STA.E MONITORS" which a.e used on sta.e.

Monitors come in a.l sha.es, sizes a.d forms, a.d a.e not limited to sma.ler bookshelp sized spea.ers a. the a.ticle the OP posted.

A. well the function of monitoring is not limited specifica.ly to a recording engineer. Ea.h time you listen through a spea.er to wha. is on a source (live or recorded)you a.e perfroming the a.t of monitoring.
