The MS40 features unrivaled connectivity, including stereo 1/8" and RCA jacks, which can be used simultaneously or mixed with a digital stereo source.

The MS40 takes audio to an even higher level with its multiple input options. The built-in mixer features 1/8" stereo inputs for connecting CD/MD/MP3 players, dual RCA jacks for tape decks and stereo keyboard modules, and even both RCA and TOSLINK connectors for digital signal sources. This adds up to a system that lets you play along with a variety of prerecorded tracks. And you can wail away to your heart's content in total privacy, thanks to MS40's powerful headphone jack.

"Great for the price! Digital IN rules!"

Sound: This pair of NFM surprised me, I had to move from some old speakers to new monitors, I couldn't afford to change the disposition of my hi-fi speakers so I decided to buy a cheap but working pair of monitors. These ones are really great for the money. I mean, surely there is something better on the market, sweep test for bass frequences reveals a consistent drop around 50hz (but still moving cones at 20hz with no rattle) and some non linear behaviour, but overall the sound is really good at 50% volume and fits all your (basical) needs for monitoring a recording. The stereo scene is really precise, I didn't need to emphasize bass or highs. Feature: best value for the price, I decided for them for the digital input, it's really a plus, no noise at all and really good quality on reproduction, even better than using the external soundcard on my mac and connecting it through RCA. Surely an XLR connector could be a plus, but for my needs I loved the coax/optical input and was enough for me. Bass/Treble controls are sensitives, good quality (as new) and nice finitures, looks really like a pro monitor. Ease of Use: Very simple, connected the two speakers, the digital in and the power plug and they were running. I put all the controls at 50% (nice feature on the bass/treble knobs is the "middle" position) and did the first soundcheck and they were great. Quality: These speakers LOOKS really good. Overall they're made QUITE good, for a cheap product. Cones are in plastic but the rubber is soft and quick, knobs are well built and the overall looking seems solid and semi-pro. Value: FOR THE MONEY, they're very very good. I mean: it's useless in this product range making a comparison with the first reference speaker that costs twice and only for ONE speaker... As a beginner speaker they give a good stereo scene reconstruction, a nice timbric representation and a good dynamic, used as monitors. 20W are perfect as a power for listening to you music at an adeguate level at a close distance, you cannot use for you home theater environment, but.. they're not made for this! Manufacturer Support: Not needed actually The Wow Factor: aesthetically they're great, looks sturdy and well finished, black is a classic for speaker and the white cone is a plus (even if in plastic). I could ask for a green / blue led instead of the red one, but no more in this class :D Overall: Actually I'm totally satisfied by the product and for my need of home recording in Garageband it's quite enough. I think I'd buy again if stolen.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "MY STUDIO IS NOW COMPLETE!!"

Sound: I think these speakers sound great! They handle low and high range extremely well. I mean for studio monitors, you don't want them to be pumping bass or sounding too tinny anyway. You want them to be middle of the road so you can hear what the heck you're doing. I think that these speakers give me a great idea as to what I'm doing sonically. Feature: Given the fact that there are so many options for connection, I think it should at least come with the basic cables for operation. It didn't even come with the cable to connect the left & right speakers!!!! I was blown away! All it came with was a power cord. I had to call zZounds for a RCA speaker cord. Ease of Use: Extremely easy to set up and use. Lots of options as far as connectability; it should be possible for EVERYONE to use them with their setups. Quality: Extremely solid and looks great right out of the box. You can tell it was put together by pros. No loose knobs, switches or connections. When bass is turned up, you can physically see the woofers expand and there's NO rattle or excessive vibration. There is a little speaker hiss, but that's normal. As far as my computer monitor is concerned, it's extremely close and it doesn't affect the speakers one iota. Value: I think it's worth every penny, and with the free shipping you really can't go wrong. I can't see needing anything else for a very long time! Even if I do "upgrade", these will definately be used as a part of a future setup. Manufacturer Support: I had to call and get a speaker wire the day that I received the speakers and they e-mailed me by that evening saying that one was being sent out. That's my only experience thus far, but it's sure nice getting through to a person in about 1-2 minutes, especially one that isn't based in India!!!!! The Wow Factor: Very sexy setup. They sit authoritatively on top of my studio desk and just beg to be used. They want me to go all night, I say "sounds good" . . . Overall: As I said above, as I continue to build my studio, these MS40's will definitely be a part of my future setups. I can't see how they couldn't be. I'm in love. If I had to get replacement monitors, I'd stick with these as a replacement if they were damaged in a fire or stolen. I wish I knew it didn't come with the speaker wire before I bought it and it would have saved me a trip to the store, but it was pretty minor. I love the sound of them most of all.
