The MA-15DBK Stereo Reference monitors are ideal for computer-based recording artists seeking a high-quality, powerful set of reference monitor speakers to use in a relatively confined space. The MA-15DBK's offer a wide range spectrum and crystal clear audio reproduction.
- Bass Enhancer

- Sub woofer output port for bass boost
- 15 Watts per channel
- 3 independent source inputs; 1/8" Line, RCA pin Line (L/R), and S/PDIF (optical & coaxial)
- Front-controlled Bass, Treble, and 2 independent Volume
- 100 mm (4") woofer + 50 mm (2") tweeter, 2 way bass-reflex enclosure

The MA-15DBK's offer a built-in Bass Enhancer. The Bass Enhancer operates on psychoacoustic principles that convert low frequencies into a series of over-tones which the human ear cannot distinguish from the original low frequencies. This allows the listener to perceive bass frequencies outside of the normal range of the speaker cone, without over-driving the woofer. With the Bass Enhancer, the MA-15DBK's offer a strong low-end in a very compact set of reference speakers. In addition the MA-15DBK's offer a Sub-Out port, to connect a subwoofer for isolating very low frequencies.
The MA-15DBK's offer input from digital sources through either the Coaxial or Optical S/PDIF ports, supporting up to 24-bit/192kHz sources. With this, you can connect digital sources directly to your speakers, keeping an unadulterated audio signal all the way to the power amplifier in your speakers. Hear exactly what you have recorded!
The MA-15DBK's offer conveniently placed Volume and Tone controls. Adjust the volume and tone directly from the front of the speaker. While a large studio setup typically uses a mixer to control output level to the speakers, compact desktop setups can rarely afford the space a mixer requires. This is not an issue with the MA-15DBK's. You can adjust your output Volume and Tone right on the front of the speaker.
You can also connect two different sources directly into the MA-15DBK's, allowing you to listen to audio from any two line-level sources. For example, you can have both your computer and your stereo connected to the MA-15DBK's. The MA-15DBK's offer independent volume control for each of these inputs, effectively taking the place of a small desktop mixer for monitoring.
You can also plug headphones directly into the MA-15DBK's and mix without disturbing other people. Plugging in headphones automatically defeats the speakers, allowing you to mix without disturbing anyone, without having to disconnect anything in your setup.
The MA-15DBK's are magnetically shielded for close proximity to your computer monitor.

The Problem; so many of us have home studios these days and forces us to set up in odd ways to get acoustic isolation and often we cannot see the musician in the other room. The dilemma comes about when that person does not have their headphones on and you keep pressing the talkback button and they do not respond so you have to get up and walk down the hallway to see what they are doing and why they are not responding.
The Solution; Set up a small powered speaker in the musicians space so they can always hear the [...] Read more
