Know before you buy
Yes, the Axiom M1 is a passive speaker system, meaning it requires an external amplifier or receiver to function. It is designed to be paired with a dedicated power source to drive its 8-ohm impedance.
Absolutely. The M1 is designed to provide high-fidelity, full-range sound across all media types, making it an excellent upgrade for gaming audio and video streaming compared to standard computer speakers.
While the speakers feature a USB connection for digital audio integration, you will still need to ensure your setup includes an amplifier capable of driving the speakers. Check your specific amplifier's inputs to determine the best cable configuration for your computer.
The M1 speakers offer a frequency response down to 56Hz, which provides clear, detailed audio for most desktop applications. However, if you prefer deep, cinematic bass for gaming or movies, you can pair them with a separate powered subwoofer to fill out the lower frequencies.
Unlike typical computer speakers that often prioritize compact size over audio quality, the M1 is based on Axiom’s award-winning home audio designs. This results in a much wider soundstage and more accurate reproduction of audio nuances that are often lost in smaller, mass-market speakers.
