The Studiophile AV 30 compact powered speakers make it easy to enjoy full, rich sound even when space is limited. They’re designed with the same critically acclaimed technology that has made M-Audio monitors popular in recording studios around the world.

The Studiophile AV 30 speakers deliver clear, crisp highs and deep lows, along with superior clarity and imaging. Designed for the traveling musician or multimedia enthusiast, the Studiophile AV 30 system is the perfect audio upgrade for desktop production systems, portable video games, personal DVD players and more.

Features

  • 3" composite woofers
  • 3/4” ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters
  • OptImage III tweeter wave guides for superior imaging
  • 15-watt-per-channel amplifier
  • Magnetic shielding
  • RCA inputs
  • 1/8” headphone output
  • 1/8” stereo auxiliary input
  • Front-panel controls for volume and on/off
  • Bass boost control
  • Dense wood cabinet with bass reflex port design

Top-notch Sound—Anywhere, Anytime

The Studiophile AV 30 speakers feature the same core technology used in all of M-Audio’s acclaimed professional monitors. Designed for a variety of mobile and desktop applications where space is at a premium, the speakers include audiophile-grade amplifier architecture as well as RCA inputs, making them compatible with practically all professional and consumer audio products. In addition, dedicated ¾” ferrofluid-cooled tweeters and composite woofers work with built-in crossovers to ensure optimal fidelity.

Extended Low End

The Studiophile AV 30 speakers allow you to get the most out of today’s urban/dance music, movies, and video games. Unlike the “acoustically challenged” plastic found in many speakers in this price range, the Studiophile AV 30s feature dense wood cabinets, bass reflex design and an integrated bass boost switch to deliver tight, accurate low-frequency response.

Magnetically Shielded for Audio/Video Production

The Studiophile AV 30 speakers are magnetically shielded and designed to coexist with all manner of electronic equipment without interference, making them perfectly suited for video editing and multimedia work.

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 speakers. The system works by improving the overall efficiency of the tweeter as well as time-aligning the drivers. This ensures that the sound from each driver reaches the listener at the same time, guaranteeing precise stereo imaging and accurate response.

An amazing pair of speakers they are. Punches way above its weight in terms of price and more surprisingly, its size. Very strong mid-range and an easy overkill for any onboard PC sound codec. Makes the AV40 look expensive (which it is not actually), and should be the speaker system of choice for any PC or MP3 player. Sounds so good on my 5G iPod that I am thinking of using a hifi grade Y-cable to improve the sound. I don\'t find the sound flat. It just finds out any weak audio source very quickly, just like a hifi system 4 times the price. I would recommend not to turn on the bass boost as it already too punchy.

As \"professional\" monitors, it can be better. But consider it as PC speakers, look around comparable \"PC speakers\" at similiar price such as the Harman Kardons, or even the Bose iPod docks, they don\'t even come close.

If using as media player speakers, such as 5G iPod / iPhone, will be worth plumbing for a 20 quid hifi grade Y-cable.

this really should be on every PC shop\'s speaker inventory.

Good stuff

I recently built a small studio at home; which meant my audio computer needed unplugging from my sound system as I need it where it was to listen to music. It was also a good opportunity to use monitors instead, so did my research and bought the M-Audio Studiophile AV 30.

I\'m glad I did. The response is fairly flat and uncoloured. The internal amp does its job nicely without introducing any noticeable induced noise. They are surprisingly loud. There\'s some distortion on the bass but only at insane volume levels.

This ain\'t no pro monitors, but certainly useful and excellent vfm.

The cable supplied to feed the secondary monitor is very good quality. It\'s also got a headphone-out minijack connection, very handy when it\'s late at night, saves me from unjacking from the computer.

As for other uses other than mixing & mastering, I often take breaks by watching series or playing something on my PSP (the main unit has got a minijack line-in I can hook it up to, cable included, good quality) and the speakers are well suited for that, overkill if anything.

Only real drawback I see is that you do need to be extra careful on the monitors (and your head) placement to get the best of them. You know how to position them, but make sure the tweeters are at your ear\'s height.
