Troubleshooting
No sound output
Verify that the AC power cable is securely connected to the monitor and the power outlet. Check that the audio source is connected correctly to the XLR or TRS inputs and that the volume on both the source and the monitor is turned up. Ensure the correct input source is selected if applicable.
Distorted or muffled sound
Reduce the input level or master volume. Check for any clipping indicated by the LED indicators. Ensure the monitor is not overloaded and that the EQ settings are not set to extreme values. Clean the speaker drivers gently with a dry, soft cloth if dust is visible.
Bluetooth® not connecting
Ensure the monitor is in pairing mode and that Bluetooth® is enabled on your source device. Try restarting both the monitor and your source device. Move the devices closer together and ensure there are no major obstructions.
App not controlling EQ settings
Confirm that the monitor is properly connected to the app, either via Bluetooth® or USB. Ensure you have the latest version of the M-Audio Studio Control App installed. Restart the app and the monitor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your M-Audio Forty Sixty monitor, connect your audio source to the rear XLR or TRS analog inputs. Ensure the monitor is placed on a stable surface, ideally using the included foam isolation pad to minimize vibrations and improve sound isolation. Connect the provided AC power cable to the monitor and a suitable power outlet. For advanced customization, download the M-Audio Studio Control App and connect your monitor via Bluetooth® (if applicable) or USB (check specific model documentation for app connection method). The monitors are compatible with most professional audio interfaces and digital audio workstations (DAWs). To care for your monitors, regularly dust the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the drivers or ports. Ensure the vents are free of dust and debris to maintain optimal performance. Periodically check that all cable connections are secure.
