Enclosure Along with the other components, the AV 40's enclosure plays an important role. In order to provide more stable performance, we used a special medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and unique interior reinforcement designed to absorb vibration and minimize distortion.
Precautions Connections: Your AV 40 monitors have a variety of inputs for use with a multitude of devices. Soundcards or other devices with RCA line outputs (e.g., M-Audio Delta Audiophile 24/96) can be connected to the RCA inputs on your left speaker’s back panel. Professional audio devices with balanced or unbalanced 1/4” outputs should be connected to the 1/4” TRS back panel inputs.
