M-AUDIO BX5-D3 Active 200w Total Nearfield Reference Studio Monitors

 BX5-D3  M-AUDIO 

 Near Field Studio Reference Monitors 

Trusted by recording engineers and musicians worldwide, the BX series is reputed for its surgical precision and premium engineering. Strong yet lightweight 5” military-grade Kevlar woofers provide exceptional drive for the low-end and midrange, delivering an outstanding level of transient response. Meanwhile, a treated silk dome tweeter provides the perfect combination of low mass and the absence of audible resonances that plague conventional tweeters. Together, the BX drivers deliver critical detail, nuance and dynamic accuracy, so your mixes have the veracity and transparency you demand, supported by a meticulously engineered rear-mounted bass port, which gives a deep, defined bass response with incredible bass resolution.

Two Class A/B internal amplifiers separately power the woofer and tweeter each optimized for the specific frequency range it handles and engineered to complement the characteristics of its companion driver. A precision-tuned crossover guarantees each driver only handles the frequencies that it produces most efficiently for a sound that is cohesive across the entire frequency spectrum. Play louder with less audible distortion: The BX5-D3 bi-amplified design is a far more efficient and accurate way to power a loudspeaker than using a single full-range amplifier to drive multiple driver elements.

BX5-D3’s iconic design on the front panel—M-Audio’s famous “keyhole” shape—is more than just an attractive look: This special “fastenerless” design ensures so there are no driver attachment screw heads to interfere with the sound coming from the drivers.

The BX5-D3 monitors custom tailors your sound to your environment, so you will always experience sonically-true, reassuringly-accurate sound reproduction. Negate problematic bass frequencies and limit the impact of nuisance standing waves thanks to BX5-D3’s special Acoustic Space control for precise adjustment of BX5-D3’s sound output in line with your studio space.

Connectivity isn’t an issue when assimilating the BX5-D3 into your studio: with both conveniently-located, rear-mounted XLR and 1/4-inch balanced inputs, it will connect to virtually all studio equipment including mixers, interfaces, DJ gear and more.
