A New Benchmark in the M-Audio Lineup
The M-Audio Forty Eighty continues the brand's tradition of monitors combining performance and accessibility. Designed to deliver a stable stereo image and enhanced transparency, it offers a modernized workflow thanks to the onboard DSP and dedicated control app, while maintaining the robust studio aesthetic.
Who It's For and What It's For
Producers, engineers, DJs, and content creators will find in the Forty Eighty a reliable listening tool for composing, mixing, and checking the translation of their projects. In the studio, the "FLAT" mode enables precise analytical work; outside sessions, the "HYPE" mode offers a more energetic curve to validate perception on consumer systems.
DSP, Listening Modes, and Remote Control
At the heart of the system, the DSP manages crossover and equalization to optimize driver response. With the "Forty Series Control" app, finely adjust a 5-band EQ, save your presets, and adapt the speaker to your room or uses, from detailed editing to enjoyable listening.
Bluetooth 5.0 True Wireless Stereo facilitates relaxed listening and quick demos: pair two Fortys for instant stereo without running a single cable, while retaining the precision that has made M-Audio monitors renowned.
