All user reviews for the M-Audio Studio Pro 3

2-way speaker easily transportable connected via RCA
there is a switch in the back to boost the bass

SOUNDS

the speakers are not neutral but are not very colorful, so they are used for "mixer"
stereo image is correct insofar as it is placed in the right place we aoriente much els pregnant
dynamics is inadequate because the speaker is a volume limit and therefore we can not really turn up the volume without the "deformation"
the sound is still quite precise (given the size and especially the price!) but hey it's not awesome! say that pure makes the most you have to stay a reasonable volume ... ie sometimes a little below what it would take to properly mix

and it is possible to "mix" or rather to say most of the work, must not dream, it will be a system of better quality to really come up with something decent.

but with experience and a good headset, you can get a very good results (especially if one considers the investment demand is good .. yes the headphone!)

given the small size / power of the speakers, the bass boost can be activated at the back is useful to get an idea of ​​what will give the bass more focused on HP Hi-fi (mix without the boost -> with verification)

OVERALL OPINION

ca is qq years that I have seen and the price (bought in China for 60 euros including shipping) I can not see what I could blame them. ombe down if I buy a pair directly (they are still in China)

it can be used to mix (to the extent that we have a proper headphone) and it restores the music well enough (resulting in a slight coloration that masks even when certain default)

default principal: amount of spectrum set aside (considering the price do not push it!), especially a lack of power, dynamics

major asset recess price, but especially the quality / price

So has tips for beginners in home studio, fans at modest needs (or those who lack space!) or "audiophile" a small budget.

Trs good small speakers a sound card derrire branches DMX 6fire 24/96 Terratec home. I use Cubase and Wavelab for mixing of my models.

SOUNDS

The sound is neutral, low and Aiges good balance, the curve is linear frequency drives which is great for mixing. There is no cheating or deformation of the sound.
For the final cost APRS mixing, there are more with the "BoostBass" which, when engaged to provide color and roundness to the sound, to get closer to a cost " hi-fi "

OVERALL OPINION

Power are more than adequate for comfortable use in a pice of 10 20 m2, but just in a studio with much greater volume and o the cost should be more prcise. But then when we mix gnralement near the speakers.
For the price, which is trs affordable, it is important not to go without, they are far from being ridiculous and the quality is largely suprieure to conventional PC speakers sold commercially.

Philippe FOSSERZ.

CHARACTERISTICS This is not really that attracted me first, but the price, but it becomes clear that we are dealing with monitors quality for the price.
I use them for monitoring and I must say they have nothing to be ashamed compared to other more expensive speakers.
They are connected directly to my e-mu 1820 sound and nickel, at least for me.

SOUNDS

The curve is neutral.
Stereo image rather good.
The sound clear, but prcis is a big word.
The momentum when it was respected.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two days since I use a background, and the particular feature that I really liked is its compactness. Before I turn with Altec Lansing VS 2120 and 2121, so much tell you that there is a gap between these MODELS. For the report quality price no complaints and exprience with my choice would be the same.

A pair small, cheap, portable, for Trimming video and sound editing monitor / audio.
Tired of image editors that use small speakers multimedia (yes it exists!)
But I did not necessarily carry around more expensive monitors. With these small m audio, the editor and his client's story, they hear better the quality of their decision-sounds (well or rather their fault) and I will not have much to carry them.

14 watts. The left speaker amplifies the line via a link cable (so it is not strictly speaking two active speakers ...)

The sound card's mac is connected directly to stereo minijack top 2xRCA
More rarely, an mbox is connected via 2 RCA / Jack

They fit in a suitcase with swimsuits and m audio oxygen; nice to compose light

SOUNDS

Okay for the price.
Lack of bass
Low medium tends to saturate (that is clearly down to gate it!)
Treble and high mids highlight the sibilants, (probably too) which is not bad for pre control the votes taken.
The overall sound gives an impression crystalline
Zic attention to the lack of bass!
Be careful not to saturate them!

OVERALL OPINION

This follows a first try.
I just made it a sound editing on the go, I will now turn into Genelec 8020 Yamaha MSP5 assisted by the second listen.

d in took the opportunity to listen to different mixes.
of course that we can not wait much potato and precision as the Genelec, but for the price (80 to 100 euros a fresh pair in their time) was already a good stereo image, and treble that does not forgive.
to avoid mixing other than to mock it anyway, they're clearly not pregnant mix!
used to compose without breaking the bank if using little low for the control of voice and basic monitoring.
This is the minimum, but also the price is minimal, why deprive s?
Best value used less than 50 euros.

I was looking for extra monitors m'viter 3m of cable to make before I make a home studio power. So effective and cheap. The size of the StudioPro 3 Has an important argument in my choice.

SOUNDS

The sound has nothing to do with computer speakers of the same price. It remains in the field of audio with good quality overall restitution, a clear and prcis.

on the other hand, they have two default:
- In the middle frquences, the phnomnes rsonances to make the cost of certain instruments difficult trs (cellos, for example) and saturate the entire spectrum.
- The transformer is vibrating and it means, even when the volume button is off! One solution: unplug the 230V socket. This is the first Gnant least because the noise is low trs, so almost inaudible at a power of work.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for 3 months.

I like the quality of manufacture, compact size and shape enjoyable. I also like the return of dtails.

I do not like the rsonances to medium frequencies. Too bad because it is the only point ngatif srieux.

The report qualitprix is ​​advantageous, but if c'tait again, I would probably double or triple the price for better quality sound. It's true we are no longer on the same market segment, but to do a good job, even with extra monitors, it is perhaps better to be the price.

They are small (I have not much room), each have a base with anti-draping to direct it properly (he had to think, it's really a welcome dtail), they are simple & nice to use in addition to a.
one volume knob, a switch for low, the connection is in jack, a headphone & auxiliary output.

SOUNDS

The curve is frequency drives plutt neutral, it EHJV in the low (normal, these are small speakers). a grave is the switch to give comfort to cost, but it only reinforces the spectrum in the 250 Hz, not in the "real" serious plutt is in the low mids . to the mix, it is better to keep the switch off & make Checker headphones or other speakers to get a better IDE.
Stereo image is good, but it would gain wide if I could cover more.
the sound is clear & dynamic throughout the spectrum gnral. same high performance, do not saturate frquences & stay sharp.

OVERALL OPINION

They lack serious is sr, but I must admit that I REALLY t bluff by these little speakers!
I was not expecting such a great quality in both sound and workmanship.
it's been a month since I use them, I have taken tests with micro & guitar, then I started to mix the album over, and I must say that for a small pice, gnial it.
I had the opportunity to try a lot of monitoring speakers before a (I sound technician training), Alesis, Genelec, Yamaha, etc., and I must say I am really convinced by these monitors. homestudio use only.
qualitprix the report is excellent (80 homestudio paris purchased), I wonder if you can do better in this price & product.
m-audio has played a shot flask with these speakers, I advise all those who can not afford the more expensive stuff.
this award-l I Rasht eyes closed.
frankly, bravo.

No need to ... Submitted or if not, go to the website of M-Audio. The at least you will know everything.
Personally, I wanted the speakers with the best qualitprix / size and it is to the MODEL as I turned.
I must admit that I am trs M-Audio so I connected these speakers to an audio buddy prampli and delta 44 (both from the same brand)

SOUNDS

I had enough of the speakers as I am neutral as well as electronic music from rock, blues, trip-hop ... many short styles Different. And I must say that I served.
Concerning the image Stereo, adpend ben ... whether they are well located a will. but if you move a little bit, I must acknowledge that apart fast enough to spin. trs soon we hear less of a cot or the other.
Cot's has going. they are quite pchues. They rpondent trs well. I tend not cost based but they can easily get half their power without a problem and made a lot of dj but the noise still have to know that I'm in a small pice. and if not, leave the treble trs well, mediums also. I think there is a lack of serious lightweight but just may be my hearing (I'm sensitive on the low trs)

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
It is the hurt that the bottom: I have dballe the first of February and I report them to the store due to a manufacturing default (passive speaker mute) and j ' So I REALLY have started using them a month later APRS replacement. I play it so I am happy and trs, barely two months later, new fault (this time it's the active speaker poses problem) re-store back and this time it ' I was 2 months to wait! (And again, because I harassed the store and M-audio) from my third pair of 3 StudioPro crachouille a little when I move because of a bad contact on the jack that connects then j ' trying to pay attention as much as I can ...

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
most: the sound and size
minimum: ben forcment the reliability of the product given the exprience I have, and especially the customer service (even if they acknowledged their same it is a "product of entry level and less good ")

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
but I will not prfr. I am never without n'achte rflchir. I always compare all the products before you buy.

- How do you report qualitprix?
if the reliability does not look (but I t only three times unlucky??)

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
With such an exprience, Obviously not! I think j'conomiserai to buy monitors safer but also more expensive and therefore may also be larger ...

I was looking for small monitor speakers because I have plenty of room and I was required to transport them easily. Also they are not expensive and comes with a handy base (had to think).
I use them for my home studio sessions. they are connected al the release of my edirol UA25 via Eq 2x15 bands.

SOUNDS

The frequency curve is fairly neutral but I corige it with a 2x15 tape before.
The overall quality is good there is in the field of audio and not the PC speakers to the same price. they have a good dynamic and a good stereo image once they have been well placed. Note a very slight hum from the transformer but almost inaudible during the sessions.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for 3 months.
I love the build quality, the sound clear and precise, compact and in turn price / quality ratio.
I try many models before either in studio or home studio but for me I wanted the baby. they prove perfectly sufficient for small rooms of 20 m² which suits me, beyond will be a bit tight.
I would do it again because this choice with a little EQ before you have a lot less than many small Yamaha and less tiring to listen to during the working sessions.

Pregnant with only very rotten at home and forced to work with headphones, I was looking for a cheap solution to the speaker made as neutral as possible for a given goal.
So I use to mix stuff in a small home studio, but the blow for all other uses.

SOUNDS

- The frequency response seems to me honest (I never had the opportunity to test high-quality speaker).
- After many checks, I noticed that the sound from the left speaker differed slightly from that of the right. That said, I also checked with my old speakers and it was rotten about the same. So mystery.
- The sound quality seems very good.

As the other reviewers, I add the sound of transformer resonates even when the speakers are turned off (but connected)! That's still boring.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for close to one year if not more.
- I have not tried other models before you buy it by internet.
- This product would suit me if the following problems did not occur:

- A loose connection of connection to speaker level passive send me pregnant once SAV: New returned who had exactly the same defect. I done been with, but I'm not the only one saying: Reliability zero.
- The buzzing of the transformer that requires me to unplug the speakers every time I came to use it.

- I do not have enough experience to judge the quality / price ratio,
- With experience, I would do not have that choice. I would opt for something more reliable and functional, even if it means a slightly colored. Besides, if they fail as happened to a few people here, I would not even take the trouble to send in for repair (except for resale!)

I was looking at dpart an alternative to PC speakers because I thought I heard ALL those in both groups horrible!
finally they are branches in the ass of a CD player in my son's room (12m) to a small cheap string lets you listen to music ....

SOUNDS

Yes curve frequency drives is sufficiently neutral.
Stereo image is prcise trs.
the sound is clear and prcis, yes! means what's on the disc, yay!
dynamics ... I do not know too roohh p'tt must not ask too much ... a ladle so it will really rev it!

OVERALL OPINION

I have two years.
I love the precision and neutrality.
I did not compare to some other brands MODELS same price (like edirol) I think it is useful to consider in the Absolute. but here: for the price I find them extraordinary!
for the use I made it to final bliss. my son has a mini-string that sounds, wow, every time I want to stay in his room. is any is dry, prcis with the body. when t'coute mini chains fnac, drops ...
I wanted to redo this choice for my other son, but I did find more! I took AV30 instead (I also post a notice) but I find least neutral damage.

The size, power too high. I was looking for something with a volume manageable.
Connected to the PC with various soft guitar (ReValver, freeamp, ...) is excellent.

SOUNDS

I am not a specialist. Far from it.
It allowed me to make my first steps in the "home studio" and learn some concepts.
They are great for the price and the use I make.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for two years.
In this price range, for me it's the best.
Unbeatable value for money.
I do it again this choice without hesitation.

The notice indicates a sound precedent. At home, there is nothing.
And noise issue ... I have a sound card that makes it ... I know what I'm concerned.
EDIT on 01/08/2008
I am looking to move to other solutions, but after some thought ... why take it?? They are still excellent. Not perfect, but it does it well.

I bought these little speakers when I DCID m'quiper a minimum of models to the house with a Boss BR600. I did not have a round, they were quoted at cheap (half the Fostex I had been offered), so I function.

I use it for the arrangements, the mix and mastering of my pieces. Finally, to the extent that I can be named (not the songs, though - but especially the mastering, that my level of comptence and equipment, is somewhat illusory).

Auto amplified, with a knob-on-off volume, it is a childish simplicity to use and install. Note that they are provided with supports to tilt up or down, which can rvler very practical in a small space. Small snag on this point, the wind is the rear, so we Vitera even when to press against the wall ...

Mine came with some taient Cables, forcment but not good (some missing, others duplicated taient: a small shop in Checker and the tower will jou.

Trs not powerful, even when they can get out enough volume to jam in dpanner apartment (low in the BR600, transplanted the speakers, hacks or similar).

M-Audio gives us here a modest product, but has the MRIT not to cheat.

SOUNDS

Enter the heart of the matter. How the curve frequency drives such small creatures can it be neutral? It is not possible. So they are useless and they sell off? Well, not quite. When we started the production of models and that the money does not flow waves, they can be useful trs, provided they do not mix exclusively according to their report. This remark is also equally true for the hardware much more upscale. For my part, I work with these speakers and headphones (Sennheiser HD202) that can be described as low-end. To circumvent this problem picked li techniques of rponse, it is impractical to Listen to discs that are connate trs well with this stuff, to be aware of its default and can not do anything at the time of mixing. Do not burn a mock hsiter current mixing for the cost over a string hi-fi in the car, everywhere. It's tedious, but essential.

Knowing that low is when rponse Reduces same (at least it is not artificially inflated, unless one switches on the rear bass boost, which I deprecated) A headphone that will put too much can be a good complment.

For their size, the spatial sound plutt is correct. They lack bass and dynamics in the grade in the treble. Is that it is demanding, the long ...

OVERALL OPINION

Unclear whether these speakers are a good buy to do. When I started write this opinion, I thought I d make a good headphone only. But forcing me to explain my work methods, I realized that these speakers, with their default, even when m'taient of great help since I knew them. By comparison, they helped forge my ear (still far from the required level, but good), and, for a price trs tightened can work the image stro More precisely with great headphones.

Sr Although, I have cravings for that matter, now, but if I had started with trs good hardware, I would certainly less dbrouillard today. For beginners in complment a headphone, and provided to clearly identify the strengths and weaknesses of the speakers is a good choice. At worst, we can always recycle the extra speakers for a PC!

PS: if people could arrter to 9 of 10 all that belongs to them, the opinions would be more useful. If I tell, it's also for you to relativize my note, which is secondary intrt ...

20/08/11:
It must be said, is basically the price that made me achter these speakers. Comments on AF were good enough, highlighting the quality / price ratio, so to get rid of bad habits monitoring of HIFI speakers without making the leap to a high-end equipment (which you always end up having to go in my opinion), I jumped on it.

They are the ass of my sound card, and voila!

SOUNDS

20/08/11:
Question her, they do not teach me much. They favor the mids and turn off the bass, so that I leave it too often. It's probably me who am not well enough educated.

At least I admit them to help me put my instruments in the stereo image with precision. As for dynamics, I find that the compress too much.

I have also a problem with early, because the right speaker crackles on some frequencies where the other remains unmoved. Guarantees two years, they are likely to return to SAV Thotho (which never let me down).

OVERALL OPINION

20/08/11:
I had never experienced speaker dedicated to monitoring before them, and I sorely lacking a point of comparison with others. That said, the other, for they are blameless, I also know the price to go in it.

While I still prefer, for now, the basic mixer with them, then check and correct through other plays that I'm used to.

It is certain that it is very cheap for what it can, but then to say that it rivals the sector benchmarks, I am suspicious ...

I do not blame them. They will still serve me by what I invest in the top.
