Studio monitors, also called reference monitors, are loudspeakers specifically designed for audio production applications such as recording, film, television and radio studios.

When the term 'monitor speaker' is used among audio engineers, there is likely to be an assumption that the speaker will be designed to produce a flat frequency response. In other words, there will be no emphasis or de-emphasis of particular frequencies so that the speaker gives an accurate reproduction of the tonal qualities of the source audio ("uncolored" or "transparent" are synonyms). There is also a high likelihood that an unqualified reference to a 'monitor' speaker is referring to a 'near-field' (compact or close-field) design. This is a speaker small enough to sit on a stand or desk in close proximity to the listener (those familiar with hi-fi jargon would identify this as a 'Bookshelf' form-factor). Consumer speakers, on the other hand, may or may not have these design goals. Many inexpensive hi-fi models for example are designed to make a pleasing sound by deliberately manipulating the frequency response curve of the audio signal they receive. In reality no speaker, monitor or hi-fi, regardless of the design principle, has a completely flat frequency response and so all speakers color the sound to some degree.

Many audio engineers use monitor speakers for audio mixing and mastering duties. This enables the engineer to mix a track that will sound pleasing on the widest range of playback systems (i.e. high-end audio, low quality radios, in a club, in a car stereo or a home stereo). Accurate sound reproduction will also mean that the engineer is less likely to miss any undesirable tonal qualities of the recording, and so can compensate for them. On the other hand, some engineers prefer to work with monitors that are known to be flawed in ways that are representative of the systems end-users are likely to be listening with. In fact, most professional audio production studios have several sets of monitors spanning the range of playback systems in the market. This may include a sampling of - large speakers as may be used in movie theatres, hi-fi style speakers, car speakers, portable music systems and pc speakers.

Amplification: Studio monitors may be active (including one or more internal power amplifier(s)), or passive (requiring an external power amplifier). Active models are usually bi-amplified.
