Monitor Speakers for Professional Quality
To those who are looking for professional quality sound, the monitor speakers are designed for sound engineering, production and mastering to offer reference level near field monitoring. They are designed principally for the studio and applications where the listener will be closer to the speakers.
Monitor speakers are also used for studio purposes, mixing and music production applications as well as mixing desks and in studios. As such, monitor speaker cabinets are designed to prevent coloration, and are typically made from a composite material rather than wood.
The monitor speakers such as m-audio tend to be more robust and durable, both in terms of their cabinets and their drivers, as they are used to play uncompressed mixes, and must be capable of withstanding sudden bursts and use at high volume. It is tend to be active, featuring amplifiers within the speakers as it eliminates the need for separate standalone amplification.
