MiniLab 37 First Beats Desktop Set – A Laptop Studio With Nothing Left to Buy

Three USB-C cables and you are producing: the MiniLab 37 plays Ableton Live Lite and Analog Lab Intro, the D3V takes the laptop over USB-C and the ATH-M20x plugs into the D3V headphone output. No audio interface in the chain, no gain to set.

In This Setup

• Arturia MiniLab 37 – 37 velocity-sensitive slim keys, 8 RGB pads, 8 encoders, 4 faders, a central screen with clickable browser knob, arpeggiator, chord and hold modes; USB-C bus-powered with 5-pin MIDI out and a pedal input. Analog Lab Intro, Ableton Live Lite and Komplete 15 Select included. In Black or White.
• ADAM Audio D3V (pair, Black) – desktop monitors with a 3.5-inch aluminium woofer, hand-folded 1.5-inch D-ART tweeter and dual passive radiators; 240 W peak, USB-C and balanced TRS inputs, a 3.5 mm headphone output and DSP room adaptation; detachable desktop stands and USB-C cable in the box.
• Audio-Technica ATH-M20x – closed-back studio headphones with 40 mm drivers, 15 Hz-20 kHz, a single-sided cable and a 6.3 mm adapter.

Why This Combination

• No interface needed: the D3V is the sound card: laptop in over USB-C, headphones out of the front.
• Bus-powered keys: the MiniLab 37 runs from the same laptop and still drives hardware over 5-pin MIDI.
• Honest at desk distance: DSP desk and bass switches tune the D3V to the wall behind it.

Set price includes all three products; USB cables for the keyboard and monitors are in their boxes.
