M-Audio launches BX-D3 Series monitors

M-Audio have announced the introduction of two new studio reference monitors, the BX5-D3 and BX8-D3. Driving the low-end and midrange, BX5-D3’s and BX8- D3 are rigid and light weighted, delivering transient response whilst negating unwanted “cone breakup”. BX5- D3’s treated silk dome tweeter provides the ideal 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, for mixes to have the veracity and transparency that the user demands.

With M-Audio’s BX5-D3 and BX8-D3 have a rear- mounted bass port, meticulously engineered to the exact length and diameter, resulting in deep, defined bass response with maximum bass extension and resolution. When it is combined with a smoothly-flared port, the monitors markedly reduce the audibly-intrusive air turbulence that is when bass is played back at high sound pressure levels (SPLs). BX5-D3’s tweeter is mounted in a custom waveguide for reliably accurate dispersion that eliminates unwanted high-frequency “scatter,” whilst ensuring a soundstage that remains consistently wide and stable.

Driving the BX5-D3 D3 and BX8-D3 monitors are two Class A/B internal amplifiers that power the woofer and tweeter separately - 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.

The BX5-D3 D3 and BX8-D3 monitors custom tailors the user’s sound to their environment, allowing to experience sonically-true and accurate sound reproduction. The user can negate problematic bass frequencies and limit the impact of nuisance standing waves.

BX5-D3 D3 and BX8-D3 Studio monitors assimilate into the user’s existing setup with ease. Combining conveniently-located, rear-mounted XLR and 1/4- inch balanced inputs, BX5-D3 connects to virtually all studio equipment including audio interfaces, mixers, DJ gear and more.
