Pioneer Studio Monitor, 6 inch (BUILT6)

I received this fine Pioneer product. It was brand new. I opened the box and tried it out. It worked. That was pretty much a up front accomplishment. The truth was to find out if it were a better sounding device... A pretty well piece of hardware.

great sound , when it comes to mix your sound on point

Cuz it is amazing, i love its sound

This monitor speaker has very bright and clear sound output – no detectable distortion whatsoever even at full power. And there is a lot of power to spare, too. When I first plugged it into my audio source, I forgot to check the level setting and it nearly scared my wife to death when she flipped the power switch on – startled me, too. It truly produces exceptionally clear sound even though my ears are not so new anymore. There is a treble control knob that I turn to the maximum setting – only +1 db. Pioneer has a very long well known history in the audio and electronics business and they produce high quality products. The published frequency range is 45 - 20,000 Hz. Of course, almost nobody can hear much above 12,000 Hz except maybe dogs. I can't hear anything past 8000 Hz. They did not publish the +/- db range for this frequency response claim. Klipsch is about the only company that does. The implication from the product description title would lead you to believe there is a built-in subwoofer or equivalent, but I didn't notice much in the way of bass response - at least not in comparison with a separate dedicated powered subwoofer.I will use a pair of these speakers as rear speakers in a new home theater setup. I will use a wireless stereo transmitter and receiver pair so that I don’t need to run speaker wires along or under the carpet. With powered speakrs, I won’t need a separate amplifier for the rear speakers. My wireless receiver has XLR connections and so does this speaker. Therefore I will not need an adapter cable. In addition, this speaker has a standard RCA plug input and balanced TRS input. There’s a standby switch option, so that should save on power consumption.Studio Monitor speakers are generally meant to be the primary speakers in a high quality sound system. So these speakers will be absolute overkill for my rear speakers, but at least they will work splendidly. Since I’m in the process of purchasing an identical speaker, I think that’s sufficient endorsement that I believe this is an outstanding speaker. Because they are independently powered speakers, they are very portable if I want to set up a temporary stereo system for music or whatever purpose. I can even use a tiny MP3 player as the audio source for these speakers, for example. There is a covered switch for 220 to 240 volts on the rear if you happen to be in a different country than the USA. The label only mentions 60 Hz and 140 Watts. A person would expect it should work with 50 Hz, but better check the official specification first.I did receive this product on Amazon’s Vine program, but just for the record, I have to pay self employment taxes (double social security tax) on what I receive and income tax as well. So that works out to be about 36% incremental tax for me. Amazon reports this as income to the IRS. In the beginning it appears to be free, but when I pay the IRS, it is definitely not anyway near free. Furthermore, I normally must have purchased a very similar product on Amazon and wrote a good review on it before I am eligible to receive a corresponding Vine offering. I recently purchased a new monitor speaker (priced about the same but different brand), so that explains why I received this one for evaluation. I’ve written over 800 reviews on Amazon, but certainly the overwhelming majority of those reviews were for things I purchased with my money. I write Vine reviews the same as if I bought it directly and give out the full range of stars from 1 to 5. You can check my ratings for proof. If a product performs as advertised, then I give it 5 stars. I would never knowingly mislead anyone with my reviews.

I'm a long time DJ and amateur but budding electronic music producer. My home studio set-up has always been lacking when it came to audio equipment. Over the years I've used numerous shelf-unit stereos as my studio monitors, which work fine but are not really ideal if you want quality production. Being able to afford all the gear you need/want gets spendy very quickly if you want quality gear. Therefore I've never owned proper studio monitors until these Pioneer BULIT6 -Channel Monitor Speaker. Here are my thoughts;Pros+ Sturdy wood and plastic construction.+ Fantastic sound quality with clear highs, mids and lows.+ Built in 3-band equalization.+ 3 types of inputs (XLR, TRS, and RCA).+ Auto Standby switch powers speakers off when not in use.+ Front facing bass port allows placement in enclosed spaces.Cons- No Input selector on the back to toggle between inputs.- Set will cost you around $400, so not for budget DJ's or producers.I'm by no means an audiophile, expert on audio equipment nor am I a professional musician, however the Pioneer BULIT6 -Channel Monitor Speaker is a fantastic sounding piece, especially compared to the  Samsung MX-F630 HiFi System With Bluetooth and USB 110-240 Volt  I was using for my home studio. The unit is very well constructed of wood and plastic and has some really great features such as built-in equalization, 3 inputs and an auto-standby power switch in case I forget to turn things off (which happens a lot). The sound quality was amazing across the board (of course you have to look at the audio I'm used to) and I was able to hear low, mids and highs in a clarity I've never experienced before. One of best features for my home studio since space is rather confined are the front facing bass ports which allow set up nearly anywhere while still delivering quality a sound. The only two drawbacks I see with this monitor is that I will definitely be purchasing a matching unit (goodbye $200!). Also, the lack of an easy input switch in the back to switch between line-ins seems like a miss. Those gripes aside, the Pioneer BULIT6 -Channel Monitor Speaker & Subwoofer Part is a well-built and excellent sounding monitor usable for everything from casual listening to professional mixing and music production. Thumbs-up again Pioneer for producing excellent audio equipment.
