Powerful and precise: experience your sound with the M-Audio Forty-Eighty studio monitor.
The M-Audio Forty-Eighty powered studio monitors deliver a listening experience tailored for today's music creators in a Guitar Center exclusive limited-edition silver finish. Whether you're producing beats, recording guitar or crafting electronic soundscapes, these monitors provide the detailed and customizable sound that brings your tracks to life. With professional-grade components like Burr-Brown A/D conversion and precision DSP processing, you'll hear every nuance of your mix so you can make informed creative decisions and end up with a translation-ready result.
Designed for Modern Music Production
The M-Audio Forty-Eighty monitors are built for today's producer, beatmaker, DJ, mix engineer and content creator. Their bi-amplified 150W design with an 8" Kevlar woofer and 1.25" soft dome tweeter provides the power and frequency response needed for any genre. The rear-ported cabinet delivers deep, extended bass that remains tight and defined. When using these monitors, you can trust that what you hear in the studio will sound outstanding everywhere else.
Tailor the Sound to Your Space
The M-Audio Forty Series Control app provides the tools to optimize these monitors for your creative environment. Access customizable EQ presets to match your room's acoustics or create your own using the 5-band EQ. Tweak the level of the XLR and TRS inputs to integrate the monitors seamlessly into your setup. With the app, you have the flexibility to shape translatable sound that's perfect for your productions.
Switch Between Precision and Enjoyment
While crafting a mix, precision is key. The Forty-Eighty's ruler-flat response mode provides an accurate representation of your sound so you can make critical decisions. When you want to sit back and experience your creation, switch to Hype mode. It emulates the frequency curve of consumer products like earbuds and car stereos so you can hear how your mix may sound to listeners. This useful feature adds enjoyment without sacrificing the technical capabilities that let you achieve a professional result.
Bluetooth Streaming for Seamless Sound
The Forty-Eighty monitors feature Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity for wireless audio streaming from any device. Fill your space with rich, full-range sound for casual listening or while taking a break from work. Bluetooth streaming provides an immersive listening experience without dealing with cables. When crafting your mix, easily switch back to the wired inputs for the transparent fidelity needed in a studio environment. With these monitors, you get the best of both worlds.
