I have used Quested speakers from about 1986. Roger actually rebuilt my studio in London. I've used his speakers ever since. When I moved to L.A., he again helped me design our studios. I think we have something like 40 pairs of his speakers here at Remote Control Productions. Sometimes I get tempted to try something new, but, within a short time, we're back mixing with The Man's speakers. 150 movies later, still no complaints!
I’ve been using Quested speakers for 30 years, every mix goes through them. The midrange detail is second to none and clients are excited by the rich bottom end. Not only are they extremely pleasing to listen to but they are the most accurate speaker systems around, ear catching and eye catching.
I have used Quested monitors for over 20 years and would trust no other brand to provide me with a truthful and accurate representation of my music. While others around me have wavered in their choice of monitors over the years, I have never doubted Quested’s residency in my studio.
Having worked out of some of the finest studios in the world and mixed on countless monitors, there is no doubt that Quested monitors are unsurpassed in their field. Their accuracy across the entire frequency range is exceptional and I find their faithful reproduction of low end frequencies, in particular, makes them indispensable. No mix leaves my studio without getting its final seal of approval on my Questeds.
The V2108s are a delight. They are utterly clear and balanced: crisp all the way down into the low frequencies that other monitors would mush into big lumpy gobs low end. On the high end they are transparent and tight — somehow clear and exact without ever being harsh or grating. I can work on them for hours on end without fatigue. And crucially, they are just honest. They don’t add false richness or trick you into thinking that crappy things sound good. When you get a mix right on them, it sounds right everywhere.
I’ve been using Quested speakers from the very beginning of my career. I’ve heard them for the first time at my friends studio. He had the HM412’s and that was the breaking point for me. I want to buy my own system right away. I was so convinced by the sound that I actually sold my car to order my VS3208’s with two VS1115 subs. That was many years ago and I’ve used this speakers ever since. They are one of the most accurate studio speakers around and very pleasing to listen to. I am extremely happy with them because my music productions wouldn’t sound the same without them.
After working with some of the best brands for the past 20 years, now I have to admit wholeheartedly that Roger's Quested Speakers stand tall among them. Yes, I am blessed to install first in the country (INDIA) and have literally replaced all other speakers at my new Facility " Studio H, Chennai". "Thanks to Roger for making my mixes more clearer to my audience than before. AMEN.
I’ve used VS3208’s with a Quested sub for more than 10 years. It’s a very powerful setup which I have used on most of my biggest remixes. I also own a pair of VS2108’s. I trust Quested monitors completely.
In 15 years of career I never came across anything like it. The V2108 achieve something I didn't even think could be possible. They feel full, warm, open, with detailed reverb tails while being gentle on the ears for long listening sessions. It is not a hyped sound by any means and doesn't have the crispiness that seems to be the trend in a lot of monitor brands, yet at the same time not a single detail escapes them. They are almost holographic, like the performers are right in front of you. Nothing short of a spiritual experience!
Here at La Fabrique we tested and bought a pair of V3110 that sounds amazing. Used as near/midfield monitor - behind our 88R Neve’s bridge - it’s very impressive. Very powerful and still very clear, extensive low end and low mid with a very beautiful and detailed soft mid. Stereo is just perfect with the excellent amps that drive the speakers. The perfect size of monitoring that can be used all the time swapping sometimes on the small nearfield or main monitors. It’s QUESTED… We love it!
For nearly 20 years, I have had the honor and privilege of creating with Quested speakers. I purchased my first pair of VS2108’s in 2003 for my Los Angeles studio and have never looked back. The speakers were soon joined by a pair of X12 low frequency extenders, which took things to another level. They are very pleasing to work with and impeccably accurate - imperative qualities for a speaker, given the marathon hours we demand of them. For my UK studio, I chose to go with the V3110’s, which offer a sublime clarity and detail across the entire mid-range, whilst also providing a formidable low end. Bravo, Quested!
I have had my VS3208’s for years now and they’ve been an incredible set of monitors for me. They are very good at revealing issues, especially in the midrange. A very balanced sound that maintains it’s clarity even when turned up loud! Romesh Dodangoda. Motorhead, Bring Me The Horizon, Funeral For A Friend
I’ve been using Quested monitors since 2001 and they sound amazing – I have a pair of H208s with a custom H208 centre (which still sound as good as the day I bought them 20 years ago), and recently upgraded my original H108s to the V2108s which I’m absolutely blown away by. I work in the studio average 12 hours a day and just don’t get ear fatigue over long periods of time which is very important to me – they’re totally accurate and just a joy to work with.
After years of searching for the right studio monitors, I finally had the opportunity to listen to the Quested V3110. I knew from the first moment I heard the V3110 that this was the monitor I had been searching for. The experience of mixing on a truly full range monitor is like nothing else. For years I had been mixing for the monitor, meaning I was altering the balance of my mix and tailoring the equalization and compression based on my knowledge of how the monitors I was working on would translate to other playback systems. In doing so I sometimes felt as though I was working against my own instinct. With the Questeds, I am able to respond instinctually, knowing that everything I do will translate. The speakers disappear entirely. I am able to dial in the full frequency spectrum effortlessly. The low end is tight and full, the midrange is superb, and the top end is accurate and not at all fatiguing. Above all, simply listening to music on the V3110 is an experience unlike any other.
"Mixing Indian music is pretty complex harmonically. Many at-times what sounds great in the studio might fail to reflect in consumer electronics. Quested v3110 was my final destination in my search for a monitor pair that would help in excellent translation of my work. Working with some of the top line studio monitors that are well known for its clinical and precise sound, I felt I was lacking inspiration with them while working. Quested evens out musicality & precision of sound during my mix & mastering. This is something most engineers miss out from the perspective of a listener. Science guides, Music thrives."
I've owned VH3208's for about 10 years now, in use everyday here. They are so faithful, revealing and beautiful to listen to, everything translates to the outside world. They are my favourite piece of gear. I work with mixes delivered from across the world, through hundreds of different studios and there's never been any repeatable concerns about the masters that leave here. They are such an honest view into the mix and I can't ever envisage a time where Quested's won't be driving the front end of Blacklisted. If I ever do upgrade, I will be straight on the phone to Quested, that much I can say for sure!
One of the major upgrades in studio three was the Quested speakers that were installed. When they fired up those Questeds at sort of one o’clock in the morning everyone was just blow away by what they were hearing. A few of the engineers said things like we have never had sound like that at Abbey Road before, it was like a new era. Mirek Stiles Abbey Road
A no-compromise ‘1% better’ audio fidelity methodology applies to every equipment decision at Marshall, to experience the full benefit of this attention to detail, the ultimate benchmark of main monitoring needs to be without reproach. Despite being big main monitors, the translation on them is incredible. I was completely blown away from the start. I really found that they were they were perfect for us. I said to my boss, we've got to get these Questeds, I don't want to let them leave! So we bought the pair they gave us to demo because I couldn't bear to let them go. Adam Beer Marshall Studio
We needed speakers that would be able to deliver for a diverse range of clients, from people who listen very quietly, to those that prefer things somewhat louder. We had a pair on demo on two separate occasions and managed to compare them side-by-side with another manufacturer’s monitors. Taking into consideration all the opinions from our engineers and assistants, the Questeds completely fulfilled our requirements. Kevin Seal RAK Studios
All my best work has been done through Questeds. Stuart and the team have always gone out of their way to support my projects and outrageous requests! There’s no other speaker brand I trust more for sound quality and customer service.
