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.
