  I paid close attention. There was no voodoo in this video. I guess the slogan is factually correct!

  Recently we got the term “ear field monitors” too.

  As a studio designer and loudspeaker manufacturer, I agree with everything you&apos;re saying (you always want to be in the nearfield), but :<br>- We don&apos;t use the term &quot;far-field&quot; but rather &quot;studio-main&quot;, or just &quot;main&quot; studio monitors.<br>- In my mind, the term near, mid, and main isn&apos;t as much related to the acoustic field you&apos;re in but (and you touch on this) the size of the speaker array on the baffle, because it will affect how close you can be to the speaker and still maintain the correct summing in the crossover areas, and the dBSPL capabilities of the speaker. A typical 1x8&quot; woofer with a tweeter doesn&apos;t have the headroom to work well at 3 meters.

  Really not sure why there isn&apos;t any videos on this. Glad someone made one!

  Do note that some near-field active monitors are unable to handle playback levels required at further distances. Some of their internal amplification is insufficient for said usage, resulting in clipping, and others have drivers incapable of handling the magnitude of propagation, resulting in driver break up and sharply spiking levels of distortion

  True story, Yamaha NS10s were originally meant to be hifi speakers. After mixing engineers started using them in recording studios, they were then marketed as nearfield monitors, ha ha!
