studio monitors
Flat response speakers
Studio monitors are speakers designed for audio production rather than casual listening.
Unlike consumer speakers that enhance or color sound, monitors aim for flat, accurate frequency response—letting engineers hear recordings as they actually are.
They're standard equipment in recording studios, used for mixing and mastering music: The mix sounded different on studio monitors than on my car stereo.
