The Blackmagic Design AM Audio Monitor is a compact, broadcast-quality desktop audio monitor designed for video editors, colorists, and audio engineers working in post-production and live production environments. It features a high-performance internal amplifier and full-range speaker drivers engineered to deliver accurate, uncolored sound reproduction critical for making precise audio mixing decisions, such as dialogue leveling, sound effect placement, and music balancing. Its primary role is to provide a reliable and faithful audio reference directly at the workstation, ensuring that audio mixes translate well to other playback systems.

Designed for seamless integration into Blackmagic Design ecosystems, the monitor offers professional connectivity including balanced XLR and quarter-inch TRS inputs, allowing it to connect directly to video switchers, audio interfaces, or mixing consoles.

Its sleek, all-metal enclosure is both durable and designed to minimize resonance.

This audio monitor is a practical and professional tool for any editing suite or control room where accurate audio monitoring is required but space is limited. By providing clean, powered audio in a desktop form factor, it eliminates the need for bulky external amplifiers and complex setups, offering a straightforward, high-quality monitoring solution that supports critical audio work within video production workflows.
