The MA-15D Stereo Reference monitors are ideal
for computer-based recording artists seeking a high-quality, powerful
set of reference monitor speakers to use in a relatively confined
space. The MA-15D's offer a wide range spectrum and crystal clear audio
reproduction.
The MA-15D's offer a built-in Bass Enhancer.
The Bass Enhancer operates on psychoacoustic principles that converts
low frequencies into a series of over-tones which the human ear cannot
distinguish from the original low frequencies. This allows the listener
to perceive bass frequencies outside of the normal range of the speaker
cone, without over-driving the woofer. With the Bass Enhancer the
MA-15D's offer a strong low-end in a very compact set of reference
speakers. In addition the MA-15D's offer a Sub-Out port, to connect a
sub for isolating very low frequencies.
The MA-15D's offer input from digital sources
through either the Coaxial or Optical S/PDIF ports, supporting up to
24-bit/192kHz sources. With this, you can connect digital sources
directly to your speakers, keeping an unadulterated audio signal all
the way to the power amplifier in your speakers. Hear exactly what you
have recorded!
The MA-15D's offer conveniently placed Volume
and Tone controls. Adjust the volume and tone directly from the front
of the speaker. While a large studio setup typically uses a mixer to
control output level to the speakers, compact desktop setups can rarely
afford the space a mixer requires. This is no issue with the MA-15D's.
You can adjust your output Volume and Tone right on the front of the
speaker.
You can also connect two different sources
directly into the MA-15D's, allowing you to listen to audio from any
two line-level sources. For example, you can have both your computer
and your stereo connected to the MA-15D's. The MA-15D's offer
independent volume control for each of these inputs, effectively taking
the place of a small desktop mixer for monitoring.
You can also plug headphones directly into the
MA-15D's and mix without disturbing other people. Plugging in
headphones automatically defeats the speakers, allowing you to mix
without disturbing anyone, without having to disconnect anything in
your setup.
