Only inputs on the back are a pair of RCA inputs, no balanced connections.Īlso, there is only one powered speaker which must be on the left. There is no way to turn off the speaker on the front, instead you have a large dip switch on the back, and the speaker auto detects music and will turn itself on and off. There is no wall wart for this speaker, it has an internal power supply. The back of the speaker has a spot for a detachable power cord. M-Audio claims the driver is 3 inch, but it's easily a 3.5, and would probably be called a 4 inch woofer in a parts catalog. The woofer is a coated paper cone with butyl rubber surround and some type of closed cell foam for the dust cap. It's sat inside of a waveguide that looks like a smaller smoothed version of the one found on a JBL LSR305. The M-Audio brand has done well in the pseudo studio monitor space for a long time, and I'm expecting good things from the little speakers. The M-Audio AV32 is a computer speaker, no doubt about that.
After hitting the Logitech z623 and Mackie CR3, it's M-Audio's turn, and today we look at the AV32. This review is the third in a series of $100 speakers. M-Audio AV32 10-Watt Compact Studio Monitor Speakers Review
