Overview
M-Audio designed this pair for desktop use, with a two-way layout in an MDF cabinet. Kevlar low-frequency drivers and silk dome tweeters sit behind a bass reflex port, and the rear panel takes several kinds of input.
The reason to consider it is the wired, zero-latency connection and the range of inputs for a studio or a media desk. The limitation is the small woofer, and the fact that only one speaker of the pair holds the amplifier.
Who it's for
Producers, editors and gamers working at a desk will use the front aux and headphone jacks. Buyers after Bluetooth, or heavy bass at volume, should choose a larger or wireless speaker.
Pros and cons
- Wired, zero-latency connection
- Silk dome tweeters
- Front aux input and headphone output
- Music software included
- Small woofer limits deep bass
- One speaker active, one passive
- No wireless connection
Performance notes
The bass reflex cabinet and rear ports extend the low-frequency response of a woofer this size, and the silk dome tweeters handle the highs. The active speaker houses the amplifier and feeds the passive one through the supplied interconnect cable. A wired path avoids the delay a wireless link adds.
