M-Audio BX5 D2 Studio Monitor, Single

Full Description

Accurate and enjoyable

With a decade of monitor engineering expertise to deliver exceptional transparency and sonic definition, M-Audio have created a monitor perfect for recording, mixing or mastering. The BX5 D2 monitors let you hear exactly what's happening in your music. Enjoy marathon mixing sessions with minimal listening fatigue and be assured that your music will translate well into other listening environments.

Designed for pros - and beginners

The BX5 D2 monitors are ideal for anyone with a passion for great sound, regardless of their abilities. Simple to use, the M-Audio monitors help you understand what's in your mix so you can make better decisions about how it will translate across a wide variety of systems. Countless pros use M-Audio studio monitors to produce and mix the music and audio you hear every day, whether that's through MP3 earbuds to car stereos to audiphile rigs.

Silk-dome, waveguide-loaded, high-frequency drivers

Other monitors you may find on the market often feature domes made from poorly crafted metallic materials. The M-Audio BX5 D2 high-frequency domes are made from natural silk to counter any audible ringing, ensuring you receive the best sound quality possible. The high-frequency driver is fully isolated from the rest of the enclosure to ensure minimum distortion, providing ultra-smooth frequency response up to 22 kHz. You can also enjoy an expansive sound stage and exceptional imaging with the built-in waveguide.

Kevlar low-frequency drivers

The BX5 D2's 5" low-frequency driver has been constructed from woven Kevlar, which provides high mechanical and thermal resilience, making it ideal for use in speaker cones. The curved conical design improves room dispersion, while the high-dampening reliable rubber surrounds provide percussive musical bass, and insure that the cone reaches its optimal excursion for accurate reproduction. Power compression is reduced by the high temperature voice coils, guaranteeing that your monitors will deliver full performance again and again.

Rear-ported cabinet design

The BX5 D2 cabinet is integrally designed with its other components for optimal performance - right down to rounded corners for reduced edge diffraction and superior imaging. The custom rear port is designed to minimize air turbulence and resulting distortion while adding additional low frequency extension.

Bi-amplified efficiency

The Class A/B bi-amplified design dedicates separate power amps to the high and low frequencies - providing ample headroom for even the loudest and most dynamic of mixes. Combined with a finely tuned crossover, the design ensures that each driver only delivers the frequencies that it can reproduce most efficiently, resulting in tonal accuracy and cohesive sound across the entire frequency spectrum.

Find the sweet spot quickly and easily

You can easily find the "sweet spot" with the BX5 D2's pinhole power LED, making moniroeinf easier as you can sit in the middle position between the two speakers - where the stereo image is optimized. You'll know you're in the right listening position when the BX5 D2 power LEDs appear to be brightest.
