Geschreven door Reind Dooyeweerd vrijdag, 19 januari 2007 03:39

Zo half 3 in de nacht en het laatste nieuws wat ik plaats vandaag (ondanks dat er nog wat nieuws blijft liggen maar dat is voor morgen), en dat gaat over de nieuwe aktieve monitor speakers van M-Audio, de Audiophile AV20 en AV40.

M-Audio Audiophile AV40
The compact Studiophile™ AV 40 powered reference monitors deliver the same proven M-Audio technology favored by top producers, recording engineers and musicians around the world. The combination of 4” polypropylene-coated drivers and 3/4” ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters provides punchy lows, crisp highs and a balanced, uncolored response. Custom cabinets with dense wood construction deliver more accurate bass response than you could ever get from plastic multimedia speakers. And for the highest possible fidelity, the Studiophile AV 40 monitors also feature OptImage III wave-guide technology and a 20 watt-per-channel internal amplifier that utilizes Class A/B architecture. The Studiophile AV 40 reference monitors are the perfect solution for traveling musicians or anyone who wants top-notch sound from their desktop multimedia system.


Professional Components—Professional Results
The Studiophile AV 40 speakers are designed with the same quality materials and internal electronics that are used in all of M-Audio’s acclaimed professional monitors. You’ll find features like audiophile-grade Class A/B amplifier architecture and balanced ¼” TRS inputs in addition to RCAs. It all adds up to a big sound that belies the speakers’ small size. With the Studiophile AV 40 speakers, you don’t have to give up professional-grade fidelity to enjoy the ease and mobility of a compact monitoring system.

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 monitors. The system works by improving the overall efficiency of the tweeter as well as time-aligning the drivers. This ensures that the audio from each driver reaches the listener at the same time, guaranteeing precise stereo imaging and accurate response.

Extended Low End
If you require extra bass response, the Studiophile AV 40 monitors have you covered. MDF wooden cabinets, bass reflex design and an integrated bass boost switch let the Studiophile AV 40s crank out plenty of low end—perfect for urban/dance music, movies and more.
