Top musicians, producers, and engineers trust M‑Audio studio speakers from Avid to create their hits—and now the compact AV 30 speakers bring this professional legacy to your home. Unlike plastic multimedia speakers, AV 30s use proven M‑Audio technology to deliver full-range sound—from crystal-clear highs, to deep, rich bass tones. They’re perfect for creating media in small spaces, and also provide a superior experience when enjoying CDs, MP3s, DVDs, and games.M-AUDIO AV 30 AT A GLANCE3" polypropylene-coated woofers—tight, accurate bass1" ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters— clear, pristine highsOptImage III tweeter wave guides—superior imaging and detailRCA and 1/8" stereo auxiliary inputs—connect your computer, MP3 player, gaming system, DJ gear, mixer, and other audio sourcesMagnetic shielding—use near computer video monitors without interferenceTrust M-Audio AV 30 Studio Speakers for Superior, Accurate SoundDesigned for creating and enjoying media in compact spaces, M-Audio AV 30 speakers deliver full-range sound—from crystal-clear highs, to deep, rich bass tones—perfect for providing a superior experience when enjoying CDs, MP3s, DVDs, and games in your home.Professional Components for Superior ResultsWe build the AV 30s with the same quality materials and precision electronics as our acclaimed M-Audio professional studio speakers. The audiophile-grade Class A/B amplifier architecture, ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters, polypropylene-coated woofers, and dense wooden enclosures add up to big, defined sound that defies the speakers’ small size.Clear, Cohesive SoundThe AV 30 speakers use proprietary OptImage wave guide technology—originally developed for the professional M-Audio speaker line—to deliver superior clarity and detail. Each speaker also features a precision-engineered crossover, which ensures that the sound emanating from the low-frequency driver will blend seamlessly with the sound from the high-frequency driver—so those deep lows transition smoothly into crystal-clear highs.Extended Low End If you crave bass, the AV 30s have you covered. With wooden cabinets and bass reflex design, the AV 30s kick out serious low frequencies—perfect for producing hip-hop and electronic music, or enjoying your favorite CDs, MP3s, DVDs, and games.Magnetically Shielded for Desktop Use Most speakers emit stray magnetic flux that can wreak havoc with your computer’s video monitor or a nearby TV.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    For the price and size, these are great
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2008*

I bought these speakers to listen to music and news at my desk in my apartment, and BOY do they fit the bill.I've put them through the ringer--rock, folk, house, drum & bass, hip hop, samba, All Things Considered--and they sound remarkably good in all applications. Everything but D&B  and hip hop sounds almost as good as on my other monitors (KRK 5's) that cost twice as much. The fidelity is impressive, and the response is remarkably flat. If you're used to or prefer the more U-shaped sound of non-monitors, be sure to turn on the appropriate EQ in iTunes; they'll sound tinny otherwise, but that's what a flat-response monitor will sound like compared to regular 2- or 3-way stereo speakers. It's all those mid-range sounds you're used to covering up.They also handle a good deal of volume. With the volume knob at 50% and my MacBook volume at 75%, it's "Turn that noise down!" loud and still as clear as at lower volumes for most types of music.The bass lines in the D&B have some drop-off on the bottom end, but that's a LOT to ask of a value-priced monitor with a 3" woofer. I listen to really nasty stuff with super-low bass--Technical Itch, Dieselboy, Bad Company, and the like--so I expected that this would be the one area with less than amazing reproduction. I was right. (Roni Size's "Brown Paper Bag" is much more within their range.) Hip hop beats can lose a some punch, too, and this is the one area where you'll notice a little distortion at higher volumes. (The kick drums in D&B are usually a little more like real kicks than in much hip hop, and these sound great even at higher volumes.)Again, for the size (don't have a ruler--each speaker is maybe 5" wide and 6" deep) and price, they do surprisingly well. Other challenging types of music with lots of bass that just isn't as low, e.g. House, come through remarkably well.The 4" version was very well reviewed, so I thought I'd give these a shot because they cost less and take up less room. Also, the primary difference would be in the bass response, and I live in an apartment building, so for me, having less bass was actually a good thing. They still get too loud for me to play them anything close to maxed out, and they sound great.One more thing: I like the design. M-Audio knew this would be more for desktop listening than studio applications such as mixing (for which I got the KRK 5's). Thus, they put all the inputs and controls on one speaker, which is nice because it only requires one power cable and you don't have to split an RCA cable to run one line to each speaker. It comes with a 1/8" to RCA cable (connects your computer's audio out port to the RCA jacks in the back) AND a 1/8" to 1/8" cable (connects your iPod to the Aux In port on the front). The volume knob in front is also nice.If you want reasonably high fidelity for a low price at your desk, and you don't need subwoofer-type bass response, I'd recommend these speakers. Highly.

    Good -- then very very bad
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2012*

I can only give one star to an item that cost $100 and lasts only a couple of years.  I still have the cheap plastic computer speakers that these replaced and they're 20 years old and still working.  These worked great when I first got them -- they seem well made -- and they sounded great.  Then, like some others, I'd hear buzzing noises from the left speaker, then the speakers started cutting out.  I thought it was my cord from the speakers to the computer (because this was a problem on the AV40 speakers I bought for my classroom), but it was not that.  Even with the new cord, the speakers just cut out, then cut back in, then cut out. So they're now useless because who can listen to that?  I thought that M-Audio was a good company because I have another product of theirs that has worked fine for several years.  But these speakers definitely have some kind of design flaw. They're out of warranty, and from what I've read the company isn't going to do anything about the problem.  You know it would cost more to get somebody to fix than it would cost to get a brand new set of speakers -- So I cannot recommend them at all.

    Less than I had expected
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2009*

I've been downgrading my computer speakers over the years.  First I had a 4.1 THX system.  That dropped to 2.1 after switching to the Mac which didn't support them.  After blowing out my 2.1 system in just 2 years, I went with these speakers aka 2.0 because, after all, I'm just using them as computer speakers.  I've owned other "bookshelf" style speakers and expected these to exceed the quality of others which I've had in the past.Well... I used to be a big fan of tuned port speakers.  The first thing I've noticed was a hollow box sound.  The bass sounded like someone was beating on a drum.  There was an annoying echo at the low end.  I plugged up the rear ports with foam and that made it sound less annoying, but I didn't like the sound.  From within iTunes I used the equalizer to get a good sound by ear, but other applications and games did not use the iTunes equalizer.  I did not like the way they sounded.I purchased an inexpensive external equalizer, Behringer Ultra-Compact 9-Band Graphic Equalizer FBQ800, which did the trick.  It's a wonderful equalizer, but now I needed to calibrate my sound system.  An SPL meter was the same price as the equalizer; but, fortunately I found an SPL meter app for my iPhone for less than the price of a cup of coffee.  I had to hunt around for a tone generator for Mac which produced the 9 frequencies found on the equalizer.  With the speakers at 75% volume and protective headphones I calibrated my system.  I was somewhat surprised at what I found.A tone generated on OS X 10.4 on a Mac Mini through these speakers produces a flat-line response ranging from +12db at 125hz to -12db at 8khz.  The equalizer was perfect for getting the kinks out.  Below 100hz, there was a rapid fall-off from +12db to below -12db at 63hz - not surprising.What this all means - the speakers have no bass response below 125hz and the high end frequencies are all in the mud e.g. I think those tweeters are just painted on.  After you iron it all out, you are left with a set of mid-range speakers.  meh.  I had really expected to get more for the price.The best sound I get is when I turn the computer volume to full then turn up the gain on the equalizer until the meter reads 0db.  The handy placement of the volume control makes it a cinch to quickly adjust for various applications.Onto the design features - very well designed.  All the controls are on the left side, perfect for this right-handed person who can operate the mouse while adjusting the volume (and equalizer).  There's an aux input and headphone jack on the front of the left speaker.  On a switched outlet, the speakers come up quietly and turn off quietly.
