Sibob Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Can anyone in the know tell me the basic difference that I might find with these two models (yes I know it basically relates to frequency range).....anything else?

Cheers Si[/quote] I bought a set of Sennheiser HD 600, more expensive than these KRKs, a couple of guys told me they have mixed tracks using them and I do like them. Open backed though which puts some people off them. The KRKs look a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerboy Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I use Sennheiser 650s. They work really well, but I have also bought some monitors to double-check once I think the mixes are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikanHannille Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I don't know much about those models, but ever considered AKG 240's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTGAndy Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I was looking at the KRKs, I use the RP5s for monitoring so I'm a big fan. I understand the the main difference between them is that the 8400s have a volume control and nicer padding on the earpieces. The 8400s have a little more bass response whereas the 6400s are supposed to be a little bit more neutral sounding. I was looking at getting the 6400s, there are some good reviews out on the web if you search youtube. I freaking love First Signs of Frost mate, are you planning any releases in the near future?

I think it will happen, just not sure when Yeah the KRK's were my first choice simply beacause I love their monitors whenever I've sessioned with them, but they're not an option in my flat. I also get a very good price, so thats why I'm looking at them over other brands just now Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTGAndy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I suppose if you can get a good deal go for the 8400s, especially if you dig KRK gear. You'll almost certainly find the 8400s more comfortable to mix with for prolonged periods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
