Question 1

Are they good as near-field studio monitors for home studio? Do they work with Denon DRA 500ae receiver?

Accepted Answer

I have a recording studio in my home and have been playing and engineering music recordings for 30 years.   I bought these as computer monitors in my office - but I sometimes use them to proof a mix.  They are nice as an "alternative" to my studio monitors.  In my studio I use Mackie HR-824's, Yamaha NS-10's and a pair of Klipsch Heresies to get different "looks" at a mix.   The Control 1 has weak/non existent low bass response, so it's not useful as a primary studio monitor.  I also find them to be less than flat through the mid-range.  So a mix that sounds good on them, can sound "midgange heavy" when you listen to it in the car or any system with a nominally boosted midrange.  So I would say, they are NOT very good if you are a serious audiophile or sound engineer and you want to use them as your sole or primary monitors.   Where they are good is for mixing a nice punchy bass response(80-200hZ).  As a result, I use them to mix drums and bass all the time.  If those instruments sound good on these speakers, they will sound GREAT on a high fidelity system.  Sometimes, when you mix drums and bass on small speakers, the mix ends up being really boomy and bass heavy once you have subwoofers and full frequency playback.  Not so in this case.  They have a very controlled bass response.   Maybe that's why they are named "control"?  So, if you want another set of speakers to check a mix, or if you are doing a lot of drum and bass music, they might be OK.

Question 2

Are they self powered? Can I just plug my phone in and jam?

Accepted Answer

self powered only because they must be connected first to an amplifier old school style with a two-lead cable.  Phone cannot be hooked up or plugged directly to the speaker.  You must first use an amplifier/preamplifier section for processing the signal from your phone.  Some speakers have Bluetooth or network capability and are self-powered w/battery.  These JBL Control 1 speaker is not like that.

Question 4

what comes with the products

Accepted Answer

just the speakers, non powered.  you will need a power amp, also I use a board to plug my puter into.  you can come out of puter but you will need a couple steps before you get to the speakers.  you might want to look into powered versions.  all depends what level and what you are using the speakers for.I have home production studio and have to have some speaker references without blasting the apartment neighbors.
