Studio Monitors
If you decide to purchase studio monitors you will want to look for similar specs. It's also important to take workspace into account. Will you have room for monitor stands? How large are the speakers? How large or small is your room? All of this will affect how your speakers sound in a particular space. Smaller monitors may not be able to produce as much low end as larger monitors and larger monitors could be too bass-heavy in a smaller room. Most studio monitors are active meaning they have their own internal power source, but it's good to remember that inactive speakers will need an amplifier to operate so keep this in mind. You may not want to purchase a pair of high-end speakers or headphones right away, but getting a well-balanced pair at a good price is a perfect way to develop your taste as a music producer.
