M-Audio

M-Audio have become something of a household name in the world of musical equipment, with a product range that spans a number of categories including audio interfaces, MIDI controllers, monitors and much more!

The History of M-Audio

The company was founded in 1988 under the name Midiman – this is fairly indicative of their focus at the time! MIDI was relatively new technology, and the industry saw brands racing each other to keep up with the trend.

The company’s ethos was to bridge the gap between hardware and software as the world of digital music production grew in size. Combining computers and shiny new software with traditional audio production techniques was a challenge that was irresistible for the Midiman team!

Fast-forward to the year 2000, when they unveiled the M-Audio moniker for their latest range. This was the start of the company’s journey to widespread popularity and mainstream production; their MIDI and audio interfaces went from strength to strength. In 2002, they released the Oxygen keyboard series, which paved the way for compact and affordable MIDI controllers.

Being at the forefront of the digital music revolution meant that M-Audio were able to cement themselves as leaders in the industry; nowadays they offer one of the biggest product lines on the market.

The M-Audio Range

The M-Audio MIDI controller range is bigger and more colourful than ever before! Their selection covers every price point, starting at just £39! Whether you’re looking for a compact 25-key solution, an all-encompassing 88-key studio keyboard, or anything in between, M-Audio’s range is fully kitted out for every need. Many of their controllers offer deep integration with your DAW of choice, with a number of parameters that can be tweaked in real-time.

As well as controllers, M-Audio are known for their interface range; the M-Track line paved the way for ultra-affordable recording, allowing users on a budget to realise their creative ideas! They remain one of the biggest-selling interface ranges on the market, with a variety of input, output and control options to suit every requirement!

They’re also hugely popular for their studio monitors, known for combining balanced sound with budget-friendly price tags. They start for as little as £74 for a pair, and are perfect for bedroom recordings or studio environments alike. Their monitors offer a number of connectivity options, along with plenty of tonal headroom for producers with a keen ear. They’ve even released a subwoofer that can be paired with any monitor setup for boosted bass frequencies – the neighbours will love it!

Finally, M-Audio have branched out into the microphone category, offering a selection of simple mic configurations including a USB-connectible mic with Pro Tools compatibility!
