M-Audio AV 40 - Monitor Speakers for Professional-Quality Media Creation

M-Audio monitor speakers are built on over a decade of industry-leading engineering expertise. The result is a sound offering remarkable definition and exceptional transparency. Whether you’re mixing, recording, or mastering, our accurate monitors let you hear exactly what is happening, and ensure that your music will sound its best on any playback system.

AV Series Media Creation Speakers feature Magnetic shielding, which allows use near video monitors, making the AV Series ideal for multi-media production, as well as in compact audio studios. Polypropylene-coated woofers provide tight, accurate bass.

The silk dome tweeters are ferrofluid cooled, delivering clear, pristine highs. Optimage III tweeter waveguides offer superior imaging and detail. In addition to the premium components, the dense wood cabinet and ported bass-reflex design provide a deep, rich sound. Convenient front panel controls include volume and an on/off switch, as well as an 1/8” aux input and 1/8” headphone output.

If you want to go beyond enjoying music and videos to creating your own, you need a serious speaker system with accurate sound. M-Audio studio speakers are music industry bestsellers*—and now AV 40s bring this professional legacy to your home. Unlike plastic multimedia speakers, AV 40s use technology that’s trusted by top musicians, engineers, and composers: premium woofer and tweeter components for rich lows and crystal highs; wave guides for clarity and detail; and wooden cabinets for tight, punchy sound. They’re perfect for creating all kinds of media—and also let you get the most out of your CDs, MP3s, DVDs, and games.

Silk Dome Tweeters for pristine highs

Professional Components for Superior Results

Built with the same quality materials and precision electronics as our acclaimed M-Audio professional studio speakers. The audiophile-grade Class A/B amplifier architecture, ferrofluid-cooled silk cone tweeters, polypropylene-coated woofers, and dense wooden enclosures add up to big, defined sound that defies the speakers' small size.

Clear, Cohesive Sound

The AV 40 speakers use proprietary OptImage wave guide technology—originally developed for the professional M-Audio speaker line—to deliver superior clarity and detail. Each speaker also features a precision-engineered crossover, which ensures that the sound emanating from the low-frequency driver will blend seamlessly with the sound from the high-frequency driver—so those deep lows transition smoothly into crystal-clear highs.

Extended Low End

If you crave bass, the AV 40s have you covered. With wooden cabinets and bass reflex design, the AV 40s kick out serious low frequencies—perfect for producing hip-hop and electronic music, or enjoying your favorite CDs, MP3s, DVDs, and games.

Magnetically shielded for desktop use

Most speakers emit stray magnetic flux that can wreak havoc with your computer's video monitor or a nearby TV. The AV 40s are magnetically shielded, so they can coexist with other equipment without interference.
