From the Manufacturer
The compact Studiophile™ AV 40 powered speakers deliver the same proven
M-Audio technology favored by top producers, recording engineers and
musicians around the world. The combination of 4” polypropylene-coated
drivers and 3/4” ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters provides punchy
lows, crisp highs and a balanced, uncolored response. Custom cabinets
with dense wood construction deliver more accurate bass response than
you could ever get from plastic multimedia speakers. And for the
highest possible fidelity, the Studiophile AV 40 speakers also feature
OptImage III wave-guide technology and a 20 watt-per-channel internal
amplifier that utilizes Class A/B architecture. The Studiophile AV 40
reference monitors are the perfect solution for traveling musicians or
anyone who wants top-notch sound from their desktop multimedia system.
Professional Components—Professional Results
The Studiophile AV 40 monitors are designed with the same quality
materials and internal electronics that are used in M-Audio’s acclaimed
professional monitors. You’ll find features like audiophile-grade Class
A/B amplifier architecture and balanced ¼” TRS inputs in addition to
RCAs. It all adds up to a big sound that belies the speakers’ small
size. With the Studiophile AV 40s, you don’t have to give up
professional-grade fidelity to enjoy the ease and mobility of a compact
speaker system.
Extended Low End
If you require extra bass response, the Studiophile AV 40 speakers have
you covered. MDF wooden cabinets, bass reflex design and an integrated
bass boost switch let the Studiophile AV 40s crank out plenty of low
end—perfect for urban/dance music, DVDs and more.
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 speakers are magnetically shielded so that all of your electronic
equipment can coexist on your desktop without interference.
