General

The AV 42 monitors are the follow-up to the successful AV 40 series by M-Audio. Just like their predecessors, the AV 42s are compact, active monitors. Despite their size, they produce a bigger and better sound than most of their competition. This is due to the fact that M-Audio only uses high-quality components in the construction of the AV 42. They've also added features like a volume control on the front of the left speaker for ease of use. You can expect to hear a big, full sound from these monitors.

M-Audio AV 42 Monitor Pair: I/O

No matter what equipment or device you want to connect, the AV 42 offers a number of possibilities to do so. It's equipped with RCA connectors so that you can easily connect things like mixers, TVs and PCs. On the front are two mini jack connectors: one stereo auxiliary input for connecting an external audio device and one headphone socket so that you can continue listening without disturbing others.

A true all-rounder

M-Audio's AV 42 monitors are very versatile and as such are perfect whether you want to use them for producing new music or as monitors when playing live. Their affordable price tag makes these monitors an option as part of your home audio setup too. Use them to enhance the sound while watching movies or playing games for an extra realistic dimension.

M-Audio AV 42 Monitor (Set of 2)

Wrote the following about M-Audio AV 42 Monitor (Set of 2)
Incredible sound for the speaker of this size. Quite comparable to the (more expensive) Mackie CR4, and better than other 3-4 inch speakers I tested. Don't know how much "reference" it is, but without measuring, just by listening, it's difficult to say. There's definitely nothing wrong with the sound. It does have some specifics, like different accent in the middles comparing to CR4, and more bass and treble comparing to Behringer 50, but whether its good or bad is very subjective and up to a personal taste for a specific recording.
In short, if you don't know that you need something else, quite recommended.
Just two more things: don't judge its sound right after unpacking, let it play for at least couple of hours, and don't put it right on the desk, lift it up to the level of your ears – you'll be amazed how much difference it does.

Geweldige speakers voor muziek productie of gewoon voor het gebruiken op je TV, Laptop, PC enz.

- Er komt een top geluid uit met een goede bass.

- Goed werkende surround sound.

- Makkelijk aan te sluiten door de meegeleverde kabels, plug and play.

- Geluidsbereik is uitermate hoog door de tweeters en woofers. En de volumeknop is goed beweegbaar voor een precieze volumeregeling.

Deze twee studio monitoren zijn zeker een aanrader!

deze studio monitoren hadden eigenlijk gewoon computer speakers moete zijn, de tonen zijn niet eerlijk ook de bas vindt ik niet zo goed. ik heb inmiddels andere besteld en deze ga ik aan iemand weggeven die er niet zo naar luisterd zoals ik dat doe en maak diegene er vast blij mee,

Slechts 2weken geledeb besteld , ben er super blij mee, de speakers zien er heel stoer en degelijk uit. Hij is makkelijk aan te sluiten op je laptop/pc . En het geluid is echt niet verkeerd, deze speakers brengen heel vol geluid , neutraal geluid verder niks anders! Ook de bass is goed aanwezig, je kan voor zn kleine broer gaan, de Av32 maar als je echt wat meer te besteden hebt is de AV42 echt een aanrader!
