Compact Desktop Monitors with Surprising Power!

Edirol MA-15D active desktop monitors offer premium performance and a high level of accuracy for even cramped desktop recording environments, and they even include digital inputs! Great for project and home studios, MA-15D monitors give you 15 watts per channel of built-in power through 4" woofers and 2" tweeters. Handy front-panel bass, treble, and volume controls let you tweak your sound perfectly, while a built-n Bass Enhancer gives you big sound from these monitors. A subwoofer output port lets you add a sub for even more low end. You also get plenty of analog and digital connection options on the MA-15D monitors.

Edirol MA-15D Stereo Reference Monitors at a Glance:
  • Great bass response from built-in Bass Enhancer
  • Digital inputs
  • Front-panel volume and tone controls
  • Connect two sources at the same time

Great bass response from built-in Bass Enhancer
The MA-15D offers a built-in Bass Enhancer that operates on psychoacoustic principles to convert low frequencies into a series of overtones, which the human ear cannot distinguish from the original low frequencies. This allows a listener to perceive bass frequencies outside of the normal range of the speaker cone, without overdriving the woofer. With the Bass Enhancer the MA-15Ds offer a strong low end in a very compact set of reference speakers.  In addition the MA-15D provides a Sub-Out port to connect a subwoofer for isolating very low frequencies.

Digital inputs
The MA-15Ds offer input from digital sources through either the coaxial or optical S/PDIF ports, supporting up to 24-bit/192kHz sources. With this, you can connect digital sources directly to your speakers, keeping an unadulterated audio signal all the way to the power amplifier in your speakers. It's a great way to hear exactly what you have recorded!

Front-panel volume and tone controls
With the MA-15D's conveniently placed volume and tone controls, you can adjust settings directly from the front of the speaker. Compact desktop monitors rarely offer this level of control right on the speaker.

Connect two sources at the same time
You can also connect two different sources directly into the MA-15Ds, allowing you to listen to audio from any two line-level sources. For example, you could connect both your computer and your stereo to the MA-15Ds, and listen to the audio output of a CD while you play along with a soft synth.  The MA-15Ds offer independent volume control for each of these inputs, effectively taking the place of a small desktop mixer for monitoring. You can also plug headphones directly into the MA-15Ds and mix without disturbing other people.

Edirol MA-15D Stereo Reference Monitors Features:
  • Bass Enhancer
  • Up to 24-bit/192kHz D/A conversion for S/PDIF optical & coaxial input
  • Subwoofer output port for bass boost
  • 15 watts per channel
  • 3 independent source inputs; 1/8" Line, RCA Line, and S/PDIF (optical & coaxial)
  • Front-controlled Bass, Treble, and 2 independent volume settings
  • 4" woofer and 2" tweeter
  • 2-way bass-reflex enclosure
  • 1/8" headphones port
  • Magnetically shielded
  • 6-3/4" W x 8-1/2" D x 9-7/8 H
Monitoring in a small space is easy with the MA-15!

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
