Over the last 20 years, M-Audio has achieved critical acclaim across diverse lines of music production tools. We attribute much of this success to the fact that each product group operates like a small boutique shop within the organization. The Los Angeles-based engineering team that designed the industry-leading Studiophile line applied psychoacoustic principles to perfect the DSM drivers, power amps, cabinetry and electronics. Along the way, they worked with top recording engineers and producers to refine the Studiophile DSM monitors for optimal performance.

Powerful DSP

M-Audio engineers worked closely with their counterparts at sister company Digidesign to bring their expertise to the Studiophile DSM2 monitor. The powerful onboard DSP engine controls a complex 4th-order digital crossover. It also provides clear and accurate audio imaging by compensating for phase differences between the two drivers at the crossover point—delivering perfect acoustic alignment and exceptional imaging. And as a result of exhaustive tuning and listening sessions, the DSM2 monitor provides incredible tonal accuracy, excellent dynamic range and exceptionally low distortion.

Your listening environment and speaker placement greatly impact monitor performance. To ensure optimal monitoring in your studio, the onboard DSP also manages a number of functions that allow you to tailor each speaker to your room. DSM2 offers DSP-controlled high and low frequency roll-offs and EQ settings to help optimize the speaker for your space and placement within even the most difficult acoustic environments.
