What characteristics have motivated your choice?

Largely the price, I just bought an iMac and a 1149 euro a lot of money and then as I live in a apartment so its enough.

For what purpose? What amp / What configuration? ...

A simple config to make an instrumental electro sound that suits me and then are amplified

The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?

Yes very well after all depends on the mix that is sent but I find a serious sometimes, but that's just my personal opinion

The sound is clear and precise on the spectrum?

Just what we need.

The stereo image is good?

Yes very well.

Yes

The Studiophile AV 40 is some of the best studio monitors that M-Audio has come out with. They are very low priced and sound great. You can even purchase these in the “Red Edition” if you do not want the black ones.

SOUNDS

The sound is very clean and tight, the low end is not real heavy mainly because these monitors are not that big at all. I would suggest using these for more of a reference style of monitor use rather than a main pair of monitors just because you will not get a great mix on the low end with these. The AV 40 are pretty small, they are less than a foot tall and about 7 inches wide making them the perfect size for your desktop station. I have these hooked up to my laptop and I use them mainly to just listen to music from my computer with and sometimes I will use them as a pair of reference monitors because I listen to so much music in them I can use that to reference my own music with.

OVERALL OPINION

The frequency response is 85 Hz to 20 kHz which is the reason you are not going to get a lot of bass with them. But if you love a clean sound then you will love these speakers/monitors. When I first took them out of the box I said there would be no way they would get that loud. They are small and I didn’t expect that big of a sound out of them but they really surprised me. If it was not for the lack of bass I would really use these more for mixing my music at home.
For the price you can pair for a pair of these, you will not get a better sound with another set of speakers/monitors. M Audio surprised me with these, especially after some of the poor monitors they came out with right around the same time as these.

the price and good reviews for these speakers have motivated my choice.

I use it in my home studio in a corner of my room.

SOUNDS

frequency curve looks good to me but I do not measure.

stereo imaging is also well respected.

the sound is clear and the bass is very well represented.

I am rarely surprised when I listen to my songs on other forums.

OVERALL OPINION

I had before a similar model but after two months one speaker stopped working so I chose the model 40 M-Audio.

What I like the most is my impression that the sound is full.

For the moment I have no negative opinion for the price.

the price is very decent for a good quality.

Purchased to increase my tapping and improve my mixes.

I took these before I was pregnant because the mao on my Logitech Z2300 (super kit from> 2.1 THX certified), but very (too) provided low (i like that however for ater a movie, listen to music or play) but here we are talking about so I wanted computer music sthg more neutral.

I'm no expert, I am pleased by the mao (style slam, hip hop, R'n'B, Soul / Goapel ...

the sound is clearer than on my logitech, less bass, and I re-balanced my songs at once in a listening faisaint AV40 on V2 and back on my 2.1 and my headphone well it was not worse see bcp better (less saturation) and here it was qqs minutes I will work on it.

OVERALL OPINION

installed this week

this is my 1st "Monitor", I do not think the AV40 II is true of monitor seen their prices but are not evil and do their job (the more neutral than the HiFi or HP media), I tested other monitor but heard in the studio or with friends and it was not the same price.

+: Super nice, small, its more neutral than the 2.1
-: Lack of bass (but it is the goal at the same time), plop when power failure, if saturated volume too high or low

good value for me more I like having the stuff of the same brand and I:

Monitor: M-Audio AV 40
Sound Card: M-Audio MobilPre
master keyboard: M-Audio KeyRig 49

if I would take over as the Yamaha HS-50 if not in their range for me are the top AV40 V2.

ease of implementation (no calculation of volume of the room etc ...) the relative precision (or neutral) for the price

Home studio use course

They rotate with Echo Gina 3G card and this is terribly coherent considering the price it costs all

SOUNDS

Not easy to tell when we know that for twice the price, you can buy only one in others ...
So there is no miracle, it is not in the same range. Except that under hi-fi equipment that uses a lot of people to listen to her music or others, or worse, monitors fitted to the home studio and that cost double and are worth little better when they get there, I can ensure that this pair of speakers and does the job quite well.
In any case, I think. Rather, it is right and dynamic as it should. Not beyond reproach either, but it is a terrific result at this price.

OVERALL OPINION

A year that I get tired and I still do.
I listened in favorable conditions (with a friend and as much as I wanted) for KRK to € 400 a pair and I have not found the price difference (except maybe the look) It's all about consistency between the budget, needs, and the rest of the chain.

What I like is their prices and their effectiveness
their small size and connectivity (a headphone jack in addition to rest, it is not stupid!)

is the best at that price.

I bought these speakers there is not very long, it's beautiful, it's clean, I have connected directly to the pc ass and I must say that for work on software to make my adjustments and computer music that's exactly what I needed, I use Reason.

SOUNDS

The bass and middles are very clean and the highs do not puke, and for those who love when there are many low there is a button to boost the bass in the back of the speakers, ca is not worth a subwoofer but that's not bad and very clean for a 'bass boost' (I was expecting an old trick of shit).

40W in a room of about 15m ², no noise, no breath. I do not push the sound more than half (I often just one quarter at a distance of 1.20m speakers) to my settings.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been one month and a half.

I love the sound quality, the design of the speakers is very neat too.

I have not tried many models before buying them, I have been in the studio or the equipment is much more expensive. Level based on those speakers it enough for me.

Price / Quality excellent, I assume that the brands are struggling to provide the best product at the best price.

An excellent price / quality ratio so for "special" of computer music, well after those who make it their business are more able to afford that cost the big fat arm and a leg. : P

These are two compact speakers but not much. They come with some different cables.

The HP are "dressed" grid of protection (not bad for the monitor speakers).

The design is quite successful (plastic gloss, wood for efficiency), there's an adjustable potentiometer as a volume that is surrounded by a beautiful blue light.

The enclosure (the one with the amp) is plugged directly into my pc via RCA plugs. However, they can be connected via jack plugs 6.35, need I say more ...
there is 1 input and 1 output jack 3.5mm facade.Bon, I think I made the rounds ...

I would have preferred a digital input but hey, no big deal ...
the main use of this type of forum is for the "audio mix" home.

SOUNDS

I find that the frequency curve is fairly well established:

Of acute-not at all aggressive (if they are, is that it comes from your source ...),

Mediums of very well-restored,

For low-cons, I prefer to make a reservation on this side ... but do not worry, the lower you will, it's still not bad!

oh yes! to avoid activating the "Bass Boost" that distorts the sound (personal opinion) ...

they are powered speakers so you do not need to pay level amp (cool for tight budgets!).
after me, since I work in a small piece, I find that the amp is very good job so dim

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few weeks but one thing is sure: we feel very well the difference with type logitech desktop speakers!

anyway, I must say I did not know a lot of monitor speakers but I can say that they are suitable for my use, that is the home studio.

Having listen YAMAHA MSP3 (high frequencies too bright, low to "cough") and, of KRK Rokit RP5 (stereo image about the same but better bass response as more powerful amp), which are pregnant with more than 300 (!!!!!), euros the pair at the price / quality ratio, I think the M-Audio Studiophile AV40 and agree to surprise many by far!

you will understand: YES I would do exactly the same choices (150 euros a pair of powered speakers to work at home with a reasonable quality, that you ask for?)!

Is that motivated my choice is mainly the price, I needed pregnant fairly quickly for projects in home studio but a little "short" on the budget I jumped at this one because it seemed best to this price range (there is not much else to be said).
They are plugged into a Digi 002 with a configuration PC to dedicate to ProTools, no amp they are active. Placed close to walls of about 1m from my ears

Rather, they are pretty, the blue circle around the knob volume had its effect, but its still quite sober.
The auxiliary input and headphone jack on the front is very convenient for me, but probably not necessary at all. I for one hello initiative.
At the rear there is a switch BassBoost ... yes its boost but it's really ugly ... can be played for a console.

SOUNDS

So for my part, I find not particularly neutral curve. Lack of serious and high-medium, but like all good speakers, with an adjustment period used to it, I have by betting against a reverse order to have the woofer more in line with my ears.

For the stereo image I was really impressed, they really reflect the spacialisation mix.
Where I am is a lot less satisfied about the accuracy, I really sound very vague, the elements are hard to discern and so the ear gets tired very quickly ...

For the dynamic when it lacks even "fishing", but given the size I was not doing too much illusion.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for 8 months, I really like the stereo and the front entrance that allows me to drive directly connected.
I find its really nice to "listen" to music as still more accurate than the HIFI to work on it but it's not especially the top, after one hour we can discern much more.
I count the change before long because they are not me, but they still helped out and get me the price is quite honest.
I worked on a lot of model KRK, JBL, PMC, Genelec, but not the same price so not really comparable.

Given the nature of multimedia speakers, hard to do a real test on AudioFanzine. Nevertheless, for a long time for using a small pair of Studiophile DX4 with my computer at work, I was curious to see what looked small last M-Audio.

SOUNDS

How to say? This is the day and night from one model to another. At all levels elsewhere: they are cheaper at first, but it is mostly his side there is a big difference. Where DX4 are collected on the medium, the AV40 deploy amazing bass and treble for speaker multimedia at this price ... Obviously, it would be relatively useless to make them pregnant mixing because the bottom is far, far away to be precise, which is not surprising given the size of boomers (4 "). Still, the difference is such a model to another one wonders from what we can find such qualities in Studiophile DX4.

OVERALL OPINION

In short, if you want a small pair of speakers for general use (listen mp3, watch DVDs, etc.). I'm pretty sure you will not regret your purchase with the AV40 worth of products without any problems much more expensive among other Logitech and Altec Lansing that we refile with a traditional computer. Great surprise!

Light cheating: It's actually one active speaker that feeds her colleague with a passive terminal.

SOUNDS

This is a review "hot", I received yesterday morning. I wanted a second monitor system in addition to my Dynaudio BM5-A.

Listening to: I do not think so "Hi-Fi" it, despite their reputation ... Too bad for me, that's what I was looking for! No, they are many monitoring speakers, although entry-level. Actually low imprecise, they drool a bit, and highs seem a bit overstated, while sounding a bit metallic, I think. Beyond all that, the sound is quite pleasant, not too unbalanced ... Actually a little flattering.
Bass Boost? blah ... It inflates the lower the already messy struggle to represent little HP, so no need to add!

A / B comparison with the Dynaudio BM5 Summary-A (to help locate the sound, the two models do not play at all in the same category, the Dynaudio worth 1000EUR pair): I hear a noticeable difference in the stamp in general, it is more neutral, deeper and more natural on the Dynaudio. Depth, above all, it's amazing ... All of a sudden the sound of AV40 seems like glued to the speakers, a little flat, picked up ...
Bass: The Dynaudio does not swing so much (I need a sub!) But they are precise and clear.
Mediums: although more on the Dynaudio, those of the AV40 are so far not unpleasant, it sounds a bit Vinyl, sometimes "grainy" (I do not know how to say)
Treble: Rather successful

The dynamic is pretty good against the transient is not as accurate as the Dynaudio course, but they do well at this level! The 20W are there!

The stereo image: here, the difference is huge! On tablecloths or large strings mixed in a song by zapping the AV40 I lose half of their presence! ouch! The accuracy of placement, especially towards the center, is poor, but good for that price you can not expect much, obviously!
For that price I do not see what you can ask for! I put 10 for that reason.

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent Q / price, good overall sound given the size. It would seem a bit risky to mix it because of the overall lack of precision bass + mid + stereo, but to compose and arrange, and if your budget is limited, it will no pb!

I was looking for small speakers clean pr to work in my room, my ex was poorly fit, but hs 80 ct tro powerful for her at night ... c is now at my parents and it's going too, so the sound quality compared to the power of choice is motivated ...
to mix and live (movies etc ...)...

I have also tested the same ... rca bass boost switch on the back (to avoid when you mix)

SOUNDS

The stereo image is excellent for such small models ...
the treble and midrange are excellent, even pure, very clean, better than the yamaha hs example. of course, not the basses lack precision, but attendance because they are hard-working, even with a frequency of 40 hz announced (30 bass boost in ... as I say has avoided), but given the size of the boomer, well done mr m-audio.
so yes the sound loses the low end (especially compared to the HS80 )....
dynamics is the strong point of these small speakers that their size makes me think about my ex (1m50-38kg/20cm of 40, 3 kilos ... I exaggerate ...), well placed with their anti vibration pads, They are very well, listen to your favorite record, and you rediscovered and is the bass boost mr m-audio is its meaning ... Multimedia ...
Finally, perfect for a room or an apartment

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for about a year, and I do a lot to think about my ex-> small but with a big character ... like Sylvie ...
the big blue button tearing at design, the pure m-audio ... they are lovely ... very practical as sylvie otherwise headphone jack on the front, perfect for a "bedroom studio" ...
bin before I had the hs 50 -> too low, I prefer to mix with the small m-audio, the car radio, my bass stand out well from around me to have them ... gu pti a warranty issue, but three weeks ct set, and 160 euros for 2 encintes ben ... yes I do it again this election, I had to buy pa annoy my girlfriend at night, you c is separated, they are my parents and so I no longer bothers them pa ... while Bossant own, and I think much nicer than the yam which Vallent double ... c so much the white membrannes ?.... finally here is the value for money is excellent, compared to a yamaha hs or KRK Rokit, pa is a ball, and I even prefer them because my mixes are better since I ls hast ... (bass present, acute sharp, sharp medium ...) and I believe that it is the lack debasse and flattery in this area who also plays, I prefer this kind of mediums to mix very pregnant, its nationals after my best, g and tested many models that I was very disappointed (krk. ..) they say that the bass are flattering in tro m-audio, maybe we have the new reference of the real close (Tré close but hey, it s not nik ears more complex this ...) STOP flattering too low, it will help to lower the compression and limiting and more, and their dynamic disks end up ... we talk of the m 40 av-audio, but I think a Yamaha HS series, taking up much of the aesthetical of 10 ns and that will win is because yamaha c-> bassetro strong low end tro now how very Japanese .. .. when you know what really 10 ns, not false, the NS10 ... test hi fi missed .... with a low shit, tro of medium and Acute lahi fi ... mr c but yamaha said it would be good for sound engineers who have worked all frequencies and thus avoid failure industrial ... So how to get out a mix that has good coffee everywhere if you got a system with too low? c pa but the place I ask? mid and flattery that I gonffle and c true that the manufacturers exaggerate, because a good monitor is a speaker that c can present very serious in my ear, finally, ossi, so that the are perfect for me, I have in over a diff to compare Altec Lansing, etje know c ennorme with having only the top medium for your bass work, but since these speakers ke j ai I love her (May I liked tjs .. .) I like the style of my sound, I like as it sounds, and I love sylvie

Tight budget and need fast speakers for my Mac (an old G4 eMac and indestructible!) For small pice dedicates house music: for lctro and also mtal / rock

I did not want to buy in against the computer speakers low quality both in terms of manufacturing quality (cheap plastic) or

Mao used to cost more time and another watching a movie (but I am the less demanding except for film music)
It is therefore amplified speakers (for newbies: it plugs into the mains).
Good no external transformer connection for me sufficient: in + mini mini jack headphone facade. To the rear: two jacks + from RCA).

Another good point: a double jack and also includes a jack to RCA mle mle
Important: you can change the fuse trs disassemble easily and if he let go.
The volume button does not crack, is enjoyable to use and surrounded by a blue halo friendly (but hey it's not a major trs)

Trs something cool, I plug the speakers out of my computer but I can plug into the AUX IN facade at the same time, we hear the two (and the sound volume commandra gn ral): very practical, really!

SOUNDS

- This is my Premire monitoring speakers so it's hard for me to judge but in any case I find them fairly neutral if only one does not put too prs of a wall (which If the bass are a bit too present)
- There is a switch to boost the bass but frankly, I do not use.
- The image is stro carrment I find excellent.
- The sound is crystal-clear and distinct trs, low ptent well but does not eat up other frquences I redcouvre my records and plays with these speakers with pleasure.
- The dynamics is well respected

OVERALL OPINION

- I use them for three weeks now.
The only fault I agree it is their shield: even if the well in front of a screen CRT, we feel that there are disturbances on the screen when less than thirty centimtre the screen but hey trs is far from being dramatic.
The ratio quality price is excellent even carrment unbeatable: these are real speakers MDF (wood mdium) vinyl plates that are not cheap or boom boom.
You will not be ashamed that's for sure because the sound is good trs say anything, really.
In addition they are, I find powerful enough to be pregnant and do not saturate too high!
With exprience, so I do it again this choice and even if I had a little more euros I bought those because of all the fawn I can put her back in time (I in the apartment!)

What determined my choice:
- Active, powerful enough (20 W RMS) for my listening room (~ 25 m2) and proximity of use (~ 1.10 m). Compact!
- 2-way, one woofer and a tweeter of good quality, very correct filtering. A real cabinet in MDF with unrivaled acoustics (plastic = yuck!).
- No external power supply, a pair of 6.35 mm Jack came into balanced, a mini-jack input on the front, provided cables, finish and design copies of a leaflet in French.
Usage:
- Monitor for listening to local artwork, small mixing, cleaning and restoring audio.
- Use multimedia generally sound playback of movies.
- Ability to take them quite easily on a workplace.

SOUNDS

The curve is not bad, but I do not like the acute, occasionally occur that I find bland, scrub and precision crafted. That said it is not aggressive and respects the stamps, the dispersion is homogeneous and its placement in the stereo is pretty good. The bass is very clean (but not necessarily down low), as the medium. However, it lacks the presence and warmth in its upper part. The lower register is very correct with respect to the size of the transducer, accurate, light-colored and not flattering for a penny! The distortion level is low, no problem. The phase response of the coupling medium, which degrades the depth and topography of investments in space returned as part of a wider stereo recording.
The sound is clear, really, does not bleed and the dynamic is there, despite the small size and 20 W. The sound pressure level is very good given the limitations of size and power. The formwork MDF does wonders in terms of natural reproduction ...

OVERALL OPINION

- Received the same day! I will update this opinion based on my findings in the longer term.
- What I like least are the grilles are not removable, the bass-reflex on the back (which requires an investment more difficult), lack of a standby button on the front.
I also preferred rubber feet or parts of decoupling in place of the foam adhesive very inefficient and very fragile.
- I have tried many monitors as part of my job: Triangle, Audio 33, Focal (JM Lab), Dynaudio, Tannoy, JBL, etc., but all at prices out of proportion ...
- The price / quality ratio is exceptional, no competitors in this price range.
FYI, the British pound is at its lowest, I advise you to order the United States (€ 107 port UPS 48 hours included: http://www.dv247.fr/ ). Only plug the power cable is to be changed or the power cord (2 / 3 €).
- Oh yes, this Forchetta price (less than € 150), this choice I would do 100%!

I had intended to change the system sound of my PC, I had the Logitech X-530, a 5.1 kit, entry-level and I wanted to go to something heavier, have better sound and neutral for video editing, I was looking for precision, not power ... So I turned to M-Audio Studiophile AV40 ...

SOUNDS

At the sound, the first listen was a slap negative: my old Logitech me so used to a lower surplus in the end I was disappointed ...

It took me one week to accustom my ear to the radical change ...

I also rediscovered my favorite songs, every detail is audible, a treat, especially for the concert videos ... The stereo image is good frankly, unbeatable in this price range ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a month now, and it's true that I could not part with it: board on a PC kit would be painful (I noticed reconnecting my old Logitech)

I like the sound quality although the lack of bass is present in movies and games ...

The value for money is just "good" but do not break legs 3 a duck ...

With experience, I would do this choice, but ...

WARNING: The passage of a sound system with subwoofer these speakers may be in pain for those who love bass!

I wanted a proper restitution for my creations sporadic sessions without putting the 1000 and 100. Well that's because I chose to different views or tests that I read here and there on the net.

SOUNDS

I'm not expert enough to judge its details but the sound is very good and quite loyal to that I wish it were on other listening equipment.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for 2 years and this choice I would do without hesitation. I wonder if I'm not going to take a pair of V2 because I'm sick of my wife the pic to plug the player in the kitchen. At that price, you can go shut the eyes.

What characteristics have motivated your choice?
The price, reviews and size Audiofanzine
For what purpose?
Recording and mixing of my compos

SOUNDS

The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?
I find any, they are not accurate at all, impossible to mix something that sounds everywhere.
The dynamics are respected?
I think not
The stereo image is good?
on this point so I think they are too directional, so at least put them at 2 meters from each other it's hard to have a good image
The sound is clear and precise on the spectrum?
Personally I think it's the HIFI improved low medium very present in acute withdrawal, that's not what we want in the monitoring

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it? 2 years
Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, if I did I would not buy ca ...
What is so special that you like most and least?
Most: The size, look, price volume across

The least: that it does not much used to the coup if you want to mix with
How would you rate the quality / price?
Asse good value for money, but if you are looking for good multimedia speakers eintendu
With experience, you do again this choice?
I do not think I would do this choice, they ended up as speakers for my LCD and even for this use are not adapted, but bob I should have known that to 125 euros the pair can not ask them to be in height or HS50M MSP5 I will also buy.

I needed something better than my old 2.1 system on trust for the sound of my PC.
Usage:
listen to music, make some music (I record with my Korg Electribe EMX)
watch movies a little, play games a little.
what motivated the choice:
received good reviews on Audiofanzine,
good value for money, the mesh guards missing on the real monitoring speakers, practical
when children at home tend to touch everything, and push on everything ... gloups

SOUNDS

The sound is really much better than my old system, no comparison.
I rediscovered my music.
I also discovered that some of my recordings are really bad.
The stereo is precise.
But even if the bass is crisp and clear, (without using the "bass boost" button
and without sticking to the wall, watch the vent on the back)
I find they lack a little depth.
Thereafter I am thinking to try to find a subwoofer that can be integrated into the system.
I said that the bass is still pretty good for speakers this size,
and they are sufficient in most cases. the sound of a bass is well rendered, it is clear
precise, it's beautiful. (I could not go back to my old 2.1!!)
but it lacks a bit for the big kick drums.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using them only recently, and I'm pretty happy, except for one small problem:
ATTENTION: These speakers suffer from a factory default that prove a little embarrassing on your recordings,
if you make a little music.
with the headphones plugged in, a residual sound happens by the tweeter speakers!
it is this feature that I like least.
Note also that the mini jack - RCA provided is of poor quality. I replaced the first connection.

the feature I like most are the mesh protection guards for the reasons already mentioned, as I do not have a
private studio.
Their look is nice, they are compact, it does not "toc" and inspires confidence. MDF cabinet with good, well-equipped in connection with this particular entry in small facade.
Buttons in front are as well a god practice, these speakers, without pretending to be real monitors,
integrate seamlessly with any PC system.

Despite the small flaws, the price / quality ratio seems correct.
I think, however, keep them, but if it's true monitor you want, save another 50 euros 
and buy for example the Fostexs.
