Experience the magic of Instant Listening mode
We know how much time and precision goes into creating a perfect final mix. We also know that music is enjoyed outside of a perfectly treated acoustic space. We have designed a simple button on the front panel that allows you to switch from a ruler-flat mix reference to HYPE mode, which emulates a mix commonly found in headphones and car stereos. You can also experiment with a custom mode that lets you control every parameter of your sound using the M-Audio Forty Series Control App.
Take control of your sound with the M-Audio Forty Series Control App.
The Control app puts you in the driver's seat, giving you the power to shape your sound exactly how you want it. Get access to customizable presets and a 5-band EQ to tailor your output to your room and your preferences via front-panel Instant Listening Modes. Rear panel trim controls let you adjust your XLR and TRS analog inputs, ensuring these monitors fit seamlessly into any studio setup.
