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.

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.
