M-Audio Forty Sixty 6.5″ 100W Active Studio Monitor Speaker
The M-Audio Forty Sixty is an active 2-way studio monitor designed to deliver detailed and balanced audio for music production, mixing, DJ performances and content creation. Combining a 6.5-inch Kevlar woofer with a 1-inch soft dome tweeter, it reproduces low and high frequencies with clarity for more informed listening and mixing decisions.
Its 100W bi-amplified Class AB system, built-in DSP processing and multiple listening modes provide flexibility for different studio environments. With Bluetooth 5.3 and professional XLR and TRS inputs, the Forty Sixty supports both wireless playback and conventional studio connections.
Important: The M-Audio Forty Sixty is sold individually as one studio monitor speaker. A second speaker is required for a conventional stereo monitor pair.
6.5-Inch Kevlar Woofer and 1-Inch Soft Dome Tweeter
The Forty Sixty combines two dedicated drivers to reproduce different parts of the audio spectrum.
Its 6.5-inch Kevlar woofer delivers extended bass response, while the 1-inch soft dome tweeter handles high-frequency details. Together, they provide a listening experience suited to music production, playback and studio monitoring.
100W Bi-Amplified Class AB Power
The monitor features a 100W bi-amplified Class AB power configuration, with separate amplification for its low- and high-frequency drivers.
- Low-Frequency Amplification: 60W
- High-Frequency Amplification: 40W
- Total Power: 100W
This dedicated amplification supports controlled audio reproduction across the monitor’s frequency range.
Built-In DSP and Customisable Listening Modes
The Forty Sixty features internal digital signal processing (DSP), including precision crossover and EQ functionality.
Its front-panel Speaker Mode button provides three listening options:
- Flat Mode: Provides a neutral reference for studio monitoring and mixing.
- Hype Mode: Offers an alternative listening profile for checking how music may sound on consumer playback systems.
- Custom Mode: Allows you to use personalised EQ settings through the M-Audio Forty Series Control App.
These options help you evaluate your audio from different listening perspectives.
Bluetooth 5.3 Wireless Audio Streaming
The built-in Bluetooth 5.3 connection allows you to stream audio wirelessly from compatible smartphones, tablets and other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
The monitor also supports True Wireless Stereo (TWS) linking with another compatible Forty Series monitor, allowing two speakers to be connected wirelessly for stereo playback.
Bluetooth provides convenient playback for listening and checking mixes, while the balanced analogue inputs remain available for conventional studio connections.
Professional XLR and TRS Audio Inputs
The Forty Sixty provides professional analogue connections for integrating it into different audio setups.
- XLR Input: For connecting compatible balanced audio equipment.
- 1/4-inch TRS Input: For connecting compatible balanced or unbalanced audio sources.
You can connect the monitor to compatible audio interfaces, mixers, DJ equipment and other devices with suitable line-level outputs.
M-Audio Forty Series Control App
The M-Audio Forty Series Control App provides additional sound customisation options.
Through the compatible app, you can access a 5-band EQ, adjust listening preferences and create custom presets. This gives you more control over how the monitor responds to your studio environment.
