NAMM 2014: M-Audio rolled out its eight-inch M3-8 three-way monitor just last year and, hot on its heels, comes the six-inch incarnation, the M3-6.
Designed for desktop monitoring where space is at a premium, each M3-6 has a six-inch woven Kevlar LF driver, a five-inch midrange driver and one-inch silk tweeter. Each driver is powered by its own Class A/B internal amplifier, meaning the M3-6 can offer three-way monitoring in the same footprint as a two-way speaker.
Prices look competitive, with the M3-6s costing around $249.99 USD/ £199.99/€249.99 per monitor (street price). Check out the press release below for more info...
