Most if not all personal speakers are fine-tuned so that every aspect of audio with be richer and crisper. For the audio engineer it is not very good at all you may attempt to change your own music to offset the fine tuning. Because of this your music may not sound as good to your fans and clients. Every time as an engineer the goal is to make sure it is "transferable". This simply means when you listen a song it is going to sound great everywhere on any kind of music player from an Ipod touch to a home theater.
This is where studio monitors come into play because they strive to not change the audio in an ideal world they would have a "flat frequency responds" meaning "no change in any way of any frequency". No monitor is perfect however they will be much less adjusted then customer devices. In home studios and professional studios a pair of studio monitors ( otherwise known as reference monitors ) are used , and in many cases multiple models to choose from so that you can refer to material as it iis recorded and mixed to aid with transferability.
You will find a TON of studio monitors how do you decide on the right one for yourself? Initially decide the amount of money you would like to invest in a set of monitors. Monitors ranges from $200 to $10,000, because of this a budget is vital since it is possible very quickly deplete money.
When I did this I budgeted of $200-$400 for my monitors. In the world of reference monitors this will likely fall under the inexpensive studio monitor group; but it surely was reasonable for what I could afford to pay for. Remember you will need some wires to hook them up to your audio interface so make sure to budget for this.
When you do have a price it is time to embark upon performing some research. I started out searching online searching for "studio monitors" and "reference monitors". I spent time on audio forms like Gearslutz and the womb to acquire other people's views. I even questioned other engineers and audio students as well.
