Top-notch sound for your desktop system.

The Studiophile AV 40 Monitors are an ideal choice for desktop recording. With 4" polypropylene-coated woofers, 3/4" silk dome tweeters, and 40W of total amplifier power, the speakers deliver a wide frequency response of 85Hz to 20kHz for clear, accurate audio. The left speaker acts as the primary, housing the input and output connectors, power switch, and volume control. A simple cable connects the left speaker to the right one.

RCA and 1/4" input connectors are provided for versatility. The vinyl-laminated MDF cabinets are magnetically shielded for safe use near video monitors. An auxiliary 1/8" input and an 1/8" headphone output are located on the front panel of the left speaker for easy access. A bass boost switch is also available to provide extra low-end response.

OptImage III Technology

M-Audio's proprietary OptImage III wave guide improves overall detail and clarity while minimizing sound issues that can plague other compact monitors. The system works by improving the overall efficiency of the tweeter as well as time-aligning the drivers. This ensures that the audio from each driver reaches the listener at the same time, guaranteeing precise stereo imaging and accurate response.

Magnetically Shielded for Desktop Use

Unchecked, all speakers emit electromagnetic waves that can wreak havoc with your computer's video monitor or a nearby TV. The Studiophile AV 40 monitors are magnetically shielded so that all of your electronic equipment can coexist on your desktop without interference.
