From the Manufacturer Recording engineers and music producers around the world rely on M-Audio reference monitors to insure that their mixes are accurate. The StudioPro 3 active monitors bring that same standard of audio fidelity right to your desktop. Custom-tuned cabinets, optimized speaker design, and advanced crossover technology combine with generous built-in amplification to deliver the best sound you can get in monitors this size.

Professional Standards Most small, inexpensive speakers simply don't have the design and material standards found in professional studio monitors. The StudioPro 3s change that, delivering the same M-Audio technology and attention to detail we put into our monitors used in studios around the world. The StudioPro 3s deliver a host of features not typically found in monitors priced this affordably—MDF rather than plastic cabinets, internal acoustic foam for better bass response, custom port design for optimal efficiency and more.
Stereo Auxiliary Input and Headphone Output For maximum flexibility, we have included a stereo "Aux" input which allows you to plug in a secondary audio source (such as your portable music player) in addition to the main RCA inputs in the back. The volume control works on both inputs simultaneously. Additionally, there is a stereo headphone output next to the "Aux" jack that mutes the sound coming out of the speakers and redirects it to your headphones.
Natural Bass The custom bass reflex port design discharges very low-frequency signals and delivers a smooth, substantial bass response. Need more? The rear-panel Bass Boost control gives you additional low-frequency gain and makes the monitors versatile for different spaces and listening preferences.
Speaker Stands High-frequency audio signals tend to be fairly directional. That's why we've included stands that help point your StudioPro 3s directly at your ears for an optimal listening "sweet spot."
Enclosure The StudioPro 3's enclosure plays an important role. In order to provide more stable performance, we used a special medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and unique interior reinforcement designed to absorb vibration and impact generated under extreme conditions. Additionally, our innovative cabinet includes carefully placed acoustic material that makes the StudioPro 3s sound much bigger than they are—resulting in a smooth, natural bass response.

No!October 22, 2008 I had this desktop audio monitors that I used about daily for a year and then, one day, they were done working. The sound quality was mediocre at best and the bass response was flimsy, high frequency response was thin. Buy something else that sounds better and lasts longer than this did.
Broken, right out of the box. They just don't work.October 15, 2008 One works, one doesn't. Tried every combination of cables, etc. Even the headphone jack doesn't work. They're just bad... and they're going back.
Fantastic....September 30, 2008 At first i received the speakers on time but dead on arrival. As i contacted Amazon they responded quickly and efficiently. I am VERY satisfied with my purchase. The speakers are great and the service rendered even greater. thanks.
Cheap, poorly-built, lackluster sound.August 25, 2008 After using these speakers for two years, I can confidently say they suck.
The low price and purported high-quality sound sold me, but in the end I am disappointed. At home I have two KRK RP5 speakers, and it is a night and day difference in sound quality.
Cons: - The right speaker is noticeably quieter than left speaker, especially at low volumes. - They really, seriously lack bass. - They are not well-built - the right speaker often cuts out as the circuitry gets confused, thinking I have headphones plugged in. I have to repeatedly thrust and jiggle my headphone plug into the jack to unconfuse it.
Pros: - They come with awesome little plastic wedges that you can use to angle the speakers up to point at your head, if they rest on your desk.
I would recommend buying any powered computer speakers with subwoofer instead of these. They are really not worth the money.
M-Audio desktop speakersJuly 21, 2008 McWorld gave the M-Audio speakers a high rating. Found a great price on Amazon and ordered a pair. The speakers may be a bit too large for a crowded desk but their size contributes to their great sound. Wonderful sonic balance with incredible imaging. A remarkable speaker for the price. Very happy with the purchase.
