Frequently asked questions
Can I use these together?
Yes—the P3S captures sound into your interface or mixer, and the K92 lets you monitor that signal in real time. Many home studio setups use both.
Which is better for a beginner home studio?
Start with the K92 to monitor your computer or interface output. Add the P3S once you're ready to record vocals, acoustic instruments, or mic'd amplifiers.
Will the P3S work for quiet vocal recording?
No—the P3S is optimized for live and high-SPL work. For intimate vocal takes, you'll want a condenser microphone in a treated space.
Are the K92 headphones suitable for bass-heavy mixing?
The K92 has a warm, controlled low end that works for balanced mixes, but extreme metal and bass-heavy EDM may mask important frequency details in your mix.
