Thread-topic: [AUDITORY] Portable speaker for experiments

Dear Sam,

I've used in the past the Genelec 8010A (https://www.genelec.com/8010a) and they are great: small, reliable and with a reasonably flat frequency response, although with that size it's not really possible to go much below 80Hz. They are a bit heavy, but you can buy a Genelec carry bag for them where they fit perfectly. Please note that these are obviously active speakers (i.e. they require powering) and that they have XLR connectors, so you'll need to look for the right cable to connect them to your computer or interface.

Best
Lorenzo

This email from svnh@xxxxxxx originates from outside Imperial. Do not click on links and attachments unless you recognise the sender. If you trust the sender, add them to your safe senders list to disable email stamping for this address.

I'm looking to purchase a small, portable speaker for auditory experiments in a hospital setting, preferably with minimal distortion and a relatively flat transfer function. If anyone has pointers / recs, I'd be appreciative!

My best,

Sam Norman-Haignere
