        These compact monitors are really awesome and sounds great. Flat response ; what you hear is what you get. Great for mixing and mastering! Can also be used as an audio interface via USB.

          First I was impressed with the build quality of these awesome little speakers. I connected them to my computer, w/o drives, and they sound great.

          I truly glad I chose them.

            Comments about Akai RPM3 3" Production Monitor Speakers with USB (Pair):

            These speakers are a great value if you want something other than tinny,poor quality speakers you find at big box stores. They run via usb which bypasses your internal soundcard, thus giving you clear,crackle free audio. Sound at even high levels is clear and bass is defined with good extension for a little 3inch woofer. Punchy and I am very pleased when listening to trance and hip hop music.
