Cakewalk MA-7A Stereo Micro Monitor

Manufacturer's Description for Cakewalk MA-7A Stereo Micro Monitor

The Cakewalk MA7A stereo reference monitors are the ideal solution for musicians and computer users who demand the best audio quality possible in a very confined space. The MA7As are extraordinarily small reference speakers, but are capable of producing incredible sound, uncommon for speakers of such a a compact size. These speakers are perfect for desktop use, where space is of the utmost consideration.

Features
- Pair of 7 watt-per-channel powered desktop monitors

- Genuine wood cabinets

- Full-range 90 mm (3-9/16 inches) woofers, with bass-reflex cabinet enclosure

- Bass Enhancer DSP utilizing psychoacoustic principles to let you hear low frequencies not normally audible through speakers this size

- Front and rear stereo 1/8 inch line-in, plus RCA (L/R) inputs--connect two different sources, such as your computer and iPod at the same time

- 1/8 inch headphone jack

- Volume, bass, and treble controls

- Sub woofer output for extended low frequencies

- Magnetically-shielded to allow use close to your computer monitor and other equipment without electronic interference

The Cakewalk MA7As feature a built-in Bass Enhancer, which operates on psychoacoustic 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 MA7As provide a strong low-end in a very compact set of reference speakers. In addition the MA7A's offer a Sub Out port to connect a subwoofer.

The Cakewalk MA7A monitors 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 MA7A monitors. You can adjust your output volume and tone on the front of the speaker.

You can also connect two different sources directly into the MA7As, 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 Cakewalk MA7A monitors.

You can also plug headphones directly into the MA7As. Plugging in headphones automatically mutes the speakers, allowing you to mix without disturbing others, and without having to disconnect anything in your setup.

The MA7As are also magnetically shielded, allowing you to use them in close proximity to your computer monitor without interference. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Cakewalk products.
