Edifier Expands MR Series with the New MR4.5 Studio Monitor

Audio brand Edifier recently introduced the MR4.5 studio monitor, designed to bring studio-grade accuracy into a more accessible package for music producers, video editors, and everyday listeners. The MR4.5 strengthens Edifier’s award-winning MR Series by bridging the gap between the entry-level MR4 and the flagship MR5. This addition expands the lineup so creators at every skill level can find a monitor that suits their workflow and budget.

Balanced Design for Creators and Listeners

The MR4.5 features a bi-amplified design and supports Hi-Res Audio, a combination that helps deliver clear, detailed sound across the frequency range. Bi-amplification separates the amplification for different driver sections, helping reduce distortion and improve dynamic response—advantages that matter when mixing or critically listening to tracks. With a focus on near-field monitoring, the MR4.5 is intended to perform well at typical desktop listening distances, providing the kind of accurate imaging and tonal balance needed for reliable editing and mixing decisions.

Flexible Acoustic Tuning and Desktop Compensation

One of the MR4.5’s key features is its acoustic tuning and desktop compensation controls. These adjustments let users tailor the monitor’s response to their room and listening position. Desktop compensation helps correct for the bass boost that often occurs when monitors sit on a desk, while acoustic tuning options make it easier to compensate for room anomalies. Together, these tools help ensure a more consistent and truthful listening experience whether you’re working in a small home studio or a larger production space.

Modern Connectivity: XLR and Bluetooth 6.0

The MR4.5 includes professional wired connectivity with an XLR input, which is useful for integrating into studio setups and audio interfaces that rely on balanced connections. On the wireless side, the speakers support Bluetooth 6.0 with high-resolution LDAC support and multipoint connectivity. LDAC enables higher-quality wireless audio streaming when paired with compatible devices, while multipoint functionality allows the monitor to stay connected to more than one Bluetooth source—handy for quickly switching between a phone and a laptop during work sessions.

Customizable Experience via Edifier ConneX App

To further personalize the listening experience, users can make adjustments through the Edifier ConneX app. The app provides a convenient interface for applying tuning presets, managing Bluetooth connections, and fine-tuning settings without needing to access physical controls on the monitor itself. This level of customization makes it easier to optimize the MR4.5 for different content types, whether you’re mixing music, editing dialogue for video, or simply listening to your favorite albums.

Availability and Pricing

The Edifier MR4.5 is available now in the United States at a retail price of $249.99. It can be purchased through Amazon and the official Edifier online store. With its combination of studio-oriented features, modern wireless options, and room-adaptive controls, the MR4.5 aims to be a versatile near-field monitor for creators who want accurate sound without moving straight to a flagship-level product.
