About this deal

From both left and right speakers, premium speaker wire, jack cable and RCA cable to the acoustic traction pads to ensure sturdy placement, the M-Audio AV42 active monitors come with everything you need to start enjoying incredible audio straight away.

After messing around with equalizer settings for about 30-minutes I finally got acceptable results for basic computer sound-effects and games, but I don’t even WANT to listen to real music on them and they are certainly not adequate for any sound-critical purposes.

Running them alongside the Mackie CR3s, the AV42s have a slightly more detailed low-end courtesy of the larger driver. Niceness is a soft coloration of the sound to make it more enjoyable for listening while playing video games or watching some media (online streams, television, or movies, etc. With onboard amplification providing 20 Watts of power per channel, these speakers produce an impressively large and well-defined sound, despite their compact size. Also, I like to have clear, high-end frequencies to get the feeling, by hearing something, when an opponent is sneaking up on me in a shooter game.But the AV42s did a good job with everything I threw at them as far as general music and video listening goes. The safety features include magnetic shielding, RF interference protection, on/off transient protection, output current limiting, and thermal protection.
