Getting Connected

The MS40 features unrivaled connectivity, including stereo 1/8" and RCA jacks, which can be used simultaneously or mixed with a digital stereo source. Digital duties are handled by either RCA or TOSLINK sockets, providing for ultra-simple hookup. Individual volume controls for both Line inputs plus Bass and Treble EQ controls are provided on the front panel, along with a 1/4" headphone jack that automatically mutes the internal speakers.

Sound Quality

Sporting 4.75" woofers and 2.5" high-resolution tweeters, MS40 monitor speakers bring high-quality audio within the reach of anyone that operates a computer workstation. Whether you’re a musician tracking your latest masterpieces, or just someone who listens to your favorite songs at work, MS40 loudspeakers will make them sound significantly better. They also make excellent add-on speakers for electronic keyboards. Front-mounted volume and individual bass and treble controls make accurate sound adjustments a breeze.

Built-in Mixer

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.

Speaking of Power…

Two high-powered amplifiers feed a total of 40-Watts of super-clean power to the internal speakers, providing an ultra-wide frequency response from 50 Hz to 25 kHz.

Reviews from the Press
January 2007
Stiftung Warentest

When it comes to multimedia speakers, the highly influential German Test Magazine “Stiftung Warentest” has no doubt: Behringer is the right choice with the best sound and excellent fabrication. Out of seven models, the MS40 speakers receive the top rating and the final judgment of “good”.

“The good sound and the features of the BEHRINGER boxes (two studio style monitors)…are complemented by a very thorough user’s manual…by far not the worst interface between parents accustomed to Hi-Fi sound and kids who love their MP3-music.”

Stiftung Warentest puts all sorts of goods and services to the test. Once they select their range of products for review, there is nothing a company can do to influence the results. The products are purchased at random retailers on an anonymous basis and then thoroughly examined by a rotating panel of experts to ensure impartial review.
