Cakewalk MA-15D Digital Stereo Micro Monitors - Black

Cakewalk MA-15D Digital Stereo Micro Monitors - Black Review



Cakewalk MA-15D Digital Stereo Micro Monitors - Black Feature

  • Pair of 15 W + 15 W Powered Desktop Monitors
  • 100 mm (4) Woofers & 50 mm (2) Tweeters with 2-Way Bass Reflex Enclosure
  • Genuine Wooden Cabinets
  • Keep pristine digital sound, up to 24-bit/192 kHz with Digital Inputs
  • 3 Input Sources - Stereo mini phone type Line-in, RCA (L, R), and Optical and Coaxial Digital Inputs
The MA-15D Digital Stereo Monitors are ideal for a number of professional and consumer uses. They are great options as studio reference monitors or as a second set of monitors to use in a surround sound configuration. The MA-15D's offer a wide-range spectrum and crystal-clear audio reproduction.

The MA-15Ds feature a built-in Bass Enhancer, which operates on psycho acoustic principles that converts low frequencies into a series of overtones 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 overdriving the woofer. With the Bass Enhancer the MA-15Ds offer a strong low-end in a very compact set of reference speakers. In addition the MA-15Ds offer a Sub-Out port, to connect a sub woofer.

The MA-15Ds accept 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-15Ds offer conveniently placed Volume and Tone controls. 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-15Ds, as 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-15Ds, allowing you to listen to audio from any two line-level sources. You can have both your computer and your stereo connected to the MA-15Ds, for example. The MA-15Ds offer independent volume control for each of these inputs, effectively taking the place of a small desktop mixer for monitoring.

The MA-15Ds are also magnetically shielded

The newly developed pitch bend and modulation design offers you easier and more expressive control. All these features add up to a keyboard that even the most discerning player can appreciate. Match Your Playing Style with Selectable Velocity Curves Pick from 12 velocity curves to precisely match your playing style. As the A-500S has 4 different velocity curves and 3 kinds of sensitivity (Light, Medium, and Heavy), you can find the combination that perfectly suits you, so you can produce the precise MIDI performance and programming of a true professional.
