Compact Active Monitors with Big, Accurate Sound!

M-Audio Studiophile AV 30 active 30-watt speakers give you full, accurate studio sound with a small footprint that's great for project and desktop studios. You get surprsingly punchy sound from the 3" composite woofers, and an onboard bass boost control maximizes low end. Clear high-end content is provided by 3/4" ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters. Optimage III tweeter wave guides onboard the AV 30 speakers provide optimum stereo imaging, while built-in magnetic shielding means interference-free operation, so you can use your AV 30 monitors near computer monitors.

M-Audio Studiophile AV 30 Active Compact 30-watt Monitor Speakers at a Glance:
  • Great sound for a variety of applications
  • Extended lows
  • Magnetically shielded for audio/video production
  • OptImage III technology

Great sound for a variety of applications
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 .75" ferrofluid-cooled tweeters and composite woofers work with built-in crossovers to ensure optimal fidelity.

Extended lows
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.

M-Audio Studiophile AV 30 Active Compact 30-watt Monitor Speakers Features:
  • 3" composite woofers
  • 3/4" ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters
