AV 30 specifications

The M-Audio AV 30 is a compact studio monitor designed for musicians, producers, and audio enthusiasts who require high-quality sound in a small package. Perfectly suited for home studios, multimedia applications, or personal listening environments, it delivers excellent performance without compromising on quality.

One of the standout features of the M-Audio AV 30 is its bi-amped design. Each speaker is powered by dedicated amplifiers that enhance the audio output, ensuring clarity and precision across the frequency spectrum. The AV 30 boasts a 3-inch custom-woven composite woofer, which provides tight, bass response, and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter that offers smooth, extended highs. This dual-driver configuration results in a well-balanced sound that faithfully reproduces music without coloration, making it ideal for mixing and critical listening.

The AV 30 is equipped with a bass port located on the front panel. This design feature helps to improve low-frequency response while allowing for placement flexibility. Users can position the speakers closer to walls or in corners without experiencing significant distortion in bass quality, which is often a challenge with traditional rear-ported monitors.

In terms of connectivity, the M-Audio AV 30 offers versatility to accommodate various setups. It includes RCA inputs, allowing for simple connection to audio interfaces, mixers, or even smartphones and computers. The inclusion of a 1/4-inch TRS input provides professional connectivity for users seeking to integrate these monitors into more sophisticated arrangements.

Another notable characteristic of the AV 30 is its compact size, making it an excellent choice for limited space environments. With dimensions of just 9.2 x 7.1 x 9.5 inches, these monitors can easily fit on a desktop or small studio setup without cluttering the workspace.

The innovative design is complemented by a stylish aesthetic, with a sleek, modern finish that looks at home in any studio or living space. The rear bass port and front isolation pads help to minimize undesirable vibrations while maintaining an attractive appearance.

Overall, the M-Audio AV 30 offers an impressive combination of sound, versatility, and design.
