Delivering 150 watts of bi-amplified power, this monitor offers clear, punchy audio that brings every detail of your work to life. Its built-in DSP crossover and EQ allow you to tailor the sound to your exact needs, from studio mixing to live club performances.

For tracking beats, streaming content, or throwing a party, this monitor delivers reliable, professional-grade sound.
Customisable sound with built-in DSP
The M-Audio Forty Eighty monitor features advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing), allowing you to fine-tune your sound with precision. The DSP provides an internal crossover that ensures seamless integration between the 8” woofer and 1.25” high-frequency driver, delivering a balanced audio experience. With the M-Audio Studio Control App, you can access a 5-band EQ and various presets, giving you the tools to adapt your sound to any room or personal preference. Whether you’re mixing tracks or fine-tuning a podcast, this monitor lets you achieve professional-grade audio quality.
Powerful bass and clear highs
At the heart of the Forty Eighty monitor is an 8” woofer designed to deliver deep, punchy bass, making it ideal for music genres that rely on strong low-end presence. Complementing this is a 1.25” high-frequency driver with a waveguide that ensures crisp, clear highs without distortion. This combination offers a full-spectrum sound that captures every detail of your mix, from thumping bass lines to shimmering cymbals. The bi-amplified design with 100 watts of power ensures that your sound remains dynamic and impactful, whether you’re in a studio setting or just jamming at home.
Seamless wireless streaming
The M-Audio Forty Eighty monitor’s Bluetooth® 5.0 capability lets you stream audio wirelessly, eliminating the need for cumbersome cables. With True Wireless Stereo (TWS) technology, you can pair two monitors for a fully immersive stereo experience, perfect for parties or casual listening. This feature allows you to enjoy high-quality sound without compromising on convenience, making it easier than ever to switch from studio work to social gatherings. Just connect your device, and you’re ready to fill the room with your favourite tracks.
Instant listening modes for versatile sound
One of the standout features of the M-Audio Forty Eighty monitor is the Instant Listening Modes, accessible via the front panel. These modes let you switch between a ruler-flat mix reference and the HYPE mode, which emulates the bass-boosted sound of earbuds and car stereos. This versatility is invaluable for producers who need to hear how their mixes will sound on different playback systems. Additionally, there’s a custom mode available through the M-Audio Studio Control App, allowing you to define all parameters of your sound, giving you ultimate control over your listening experience.
