Does it come with wires to connect to my laptop computer ?
A shopper
on Apr 7, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it comes with a 3.5mm connector to plug in, but the aux cord is fairly short and if you already have a longer one you might be better off using an alternate cord just to have extra slack.

No. You will have to purchase a 3.5mm jack to RCA male stereo cable. It plugs into the back of one of the speakers. The cable that connects the two speakers is included.

It mutes the speakers, it is a headphone phone jack not a sub out. A sub out also has different power requirements than a headphone jack.

Does the amplifier inside the unit have some sort of filter that cuts off low volume signals? If I set the volume low, or if the input signal is quiet, the speakers won't play any of it. There are times when the signal levels go up and down smoothly but the sound cuts in/out completely on and off.

BEST ANSWER: If you have the speaker volume high and your input volume low, try reversing that. Increase the volume on your input device and control listening volume with the knob on the speakers.

Monoprice DT-5BT 60-Watt Multimedia Desktop Powered Speakers with Bluetooth
BEST ANSWER: I don't own the DT-5BT, so I can't speak to those. I did quite a bit of research comparing the different sets of speakers and decided on the MM-3. I can speak to those, absolutely outstanding sound for the size. Great low-end for such small speakers and clear highs. Bluetooth works flawlessly, and I can't hear any difference between the wired and wireless connection on various types of music or content. If you are looking for solid sound either on your desktop or on a small bookshelf, the MM-3 are fantastic and were well worth the price for me.

I own a pair of these. When I use the speakers in Bluetooth mode (with my phone connected to it), and walk away with my phone, the speakers keep beeping. Is there a way turn off the beeping sound without physically shutting off the speakers each time?
A shopper

BEST ANSWER: I never found a way. This is a huge flaw in these speakers, making them unusable. I wish I had never turned on BT, and just used them as powered speakers as until I used BT the first time it didn't beep. I mean a colored light being blue or not would be great, but why a VERY LOUD beep that keeps beeping would be a desired feature is beyond me...

Is there anyway to get the beeping to stop? These seem to want to pair to bluetooth as soon as they power on. I don't want them paired all the time, but if I don't pair a device they just double beep every 15 seconds or so. It is incredibly annoying. I would have bought the non-bluetooth version if I new this was an issue.

Pristine, subtle audio, classic studio-type monitor
Having produced numerous classical recordings including the famed Three Tenors Concert recording in Rome, I've been in some of the world's top recording studios
The natural, clear audio from the Monolith MM-3 speakers reminds me of the classic Auratone 5C reference monitors that have been a coveted speaker in studios for nearly 50 years.
It's because of the nuance you can hear... like standing there in a studio and hearing an artist take a breath before singing. Or, the separation of a perfectly produced recording that brings the experience alive. You can hear all that in the MM-3s.

Good, but a key flaw
Visually the MM-3 looks good and sounds pretty good. My key complaint is that there is no "off" position on the volume control. Even when the volume is turned all the way down, some sound still comes out. I know there is a power switch on the back, but I bought this one (over the Audioengine A2+) because my recordings vary in loudness and I need to adjust the volume "on the fly". Other than that, a little more bass would be nice but it's not a deal breaker.

Great sound in a small size
I really am impressed at the sound quality of these tiny speakers. Compared to my Yamaha studio monitors which are quite bigger and much more expensive, the bass is more accented and the treble is a bit attenuated. I love how these speakers fit under the line of sight of my monitors (see picture). The only concern I have is if the proprietary 4 pin cable goes bad--I don't know how that would be replaced. As others have stated the bluetooth beeps loudly when your connected device goes out of range. I avoid this by disconnecting my device before moving it out of range.
This gives an idea of the size compared to 20" monitors and don't obstruct the view.

Love the speaker, but hate the bluetooth beep!
I purchased these speakers to use on my desk with my pc. They tick all the boxes for my needs, and the bluetooth was a bonus... or so I though. I've paired the speaker with my phone for occasional music use while I work or hangout in my office. Now, whether I am using my phone as a source or not, whenever I leave my office and my phone gets out of range, the speakers play a loud, annoying beep beep! I can't stand it. I would rather not have the bluetooth capability at all, rather than to have this annoying/startling side effect.

Great sound, but the beeping causes me rage
OK, so I bought these speakers to sit in my work-from-home space to give a much needed upgrade to my background music. I wanted speakers that could both be wired and BlueTooth, and also had good sound. The speakers do have good sound, with a fairly warm room filling sound. I placed the speaker on the small wedges that they come with (I added little silicone bumpers to isolate them from the table underneath. I first used them via Bluetooth (what a mistake). I then had to run to the hospital for work, and got a call from my wife that the speakers were beeping repeatedly (presumably because my connection was lost as I was at the hospital - grrr). OK. So I then reverted to wired with a 20' 3.5mm TRS cable. Still sounds great. But intermittently (even though the light is not blue) will give those beeps (not sure why it will go hours without). The beep is REALLY LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS! Whoever designed this clearly doesn't have them in their house. Speakers should sit there silently unless being used, I don't need my speakers to be needy! The beeping (which has no disable that I can find) ruins what is essentially a great pair of speakers.
