Akai Professional MPC One Plus Standalone Production Centre
What's new with Plus
Building on the original design of the MPC One, Akai has taken everything to the next level with expanded internal storage, a new colourway and much more. The internal storage has been expanded from 4GB to a whopping 16GB (with 7.2 GB of user storage available) allowing you to install and route your favourite instruments and sound packs directly to your MPC One Plus.
One of the most exciting new features is the introduction of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. You can use these two connections to wirelessly sync your favourite gear from MIDI keyboards and controllers to sequencers. You can use your external gear to input notes, craft melodies and create rhythms - perfect for the studio or the stage.
MPC Software 2.10 update – new plugins, deeper integration and much more
This huge new update for the MPC software includes 19 new plugins, new effects, USB audio interface support, drum and keygroup engine updates and a variety of workflow enhancements. Further cementing its place as a production powerhouse, the new MPC update unlocks premium-quality virtual instruments, versatile editing possibilities, vocal processing and much more.
The new AIR Vocal Insert Effects Suite gives you the power to record and mix industry-grade vocals directly to the MPC. This collection of modern vocal production tools includes pitch correction effects perfect for RnB, Rap and Pop music. Pioneered by legends such as Dr. Dre, J-Dilla, DJ Premier, Mike Shinoda and many more; the MPC has become one of the most legendary production tools of all time. The AIR effects library has also been expanded with seven new additions including AIR Stutter and Granulator.
Expand your sound library with four new instrument plugins, complete with stunning presets that will inspire. The new instrument plugins include AIR Hype AIR Mellotron, AIR Solina and WayOutWare Odyssey. The plugins span everything from cutting-edge synthesis to classic emulations of legendary synths. The instruments feature powerful interactive sound engines complete with built-in processing and in-depth controls.
Music production has never been so streamlined thanks to the new workflow enhancements and engine updates. The new refined “Recursive Search” goes in-depth when it comes to searching for your samples. With Key Detection technology, the MPC will detect the key of your sample automatically. You can also search through your MPC Plugin Instruments presets directly from File, Media and TUI browsers. You can also create and save custom effects chains, providing quick access to your favourite processing tools.

M-Audio BX5-D3 Studio Monitors
Premium-grade design, high-end sound reproduction
Not only have the BX5-D3’s been designed with military-grade materials, but also with military precision. The 5” Kevlar woofer is the ideal material to produce high quality sound, being both rigid enough to project low-end frequencies and light enough to give clear transient responses. The 1” dome tweeter is also made of silk, for an incredibly fast response, meaning the high frequencies are reproduced with clear definition, allowing you to hear every part of your mix.
The speaker casing has been carefully designed for its purpose. The tweeter sits within a custom waveguide, allowing for a controlled dispersion of sound, instead of just pockets of high end like other speakers. The rear-mounted bass port is also designed to give a defined bass response and extension. This means the BX5-D3 can make a truly full 3D soundscape.
Acoustic positioning made easy
The BX5-D3’s have been developed to give tremendous sound reproduction in any environment. If used in a small room, bass frequencies can build up corners and bounce off surfaces. This gives the false impression of too much or too little bass in your mix, meaning it will not translate to other systems or environments well. The Acoustic Space Control feature offers 3 types of low-frequency attenuation (56Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz), allowing you to get a clear representation of low-end clarity in your mix.
A blue LED on the front of the monitors is designed to find the best listening position as easy as possible, the blue LED will shine at it’s brightest when you have found the sweet spot. This allows for uncompromised accuracy and critical evaluation, to truly get the best out of your production.
Bi-amplified power with tons of headroom
Both the tweeter and woofer in the BX5-D3s are independently powered by their own Class A/B internal amplifiers. Each amplifier has been tailored to the frequency range it handles, whilst still complimenting the other amplifier. With a finely-tuned crossover point, this guarantees each driver handles the frequencies it is meant to, making for powerful and cohesive sound.
These are M-Audio’s most efficient monitors to date. Boasting a collective 100 watts of power, headroom is no problem for the D3’s. The higher headroom allows for the volume to be increased, without any distortion of the sound. The additional power not only means you can listen to your mixes at a slightly louder level for referencing (we do not recommend listening at a high level for long time periods), but they are also great to use as general media speakers.
