M-AUDIO BX8D3SINGLE Classics - 2-way 150W active speaker (unit)

With a studio-quality loudspeaker, there's none of the coloration or sonic limitations of hifi speakers. Peaks and valleys in response, uneven polar response, high harmonic distortion, nasal midrange, inflated low midrange and other phase inconsistencies would only disrupt the confidence necessary for a quality mix.

Excellent transducers, a guarantee of performance.

The speakers of a monitor are the heart and soul of its performance. The rigid, lightweight 8-inch Kevlar woofer, which delivers mid and low frequencies, offers exceptional transient response, eliminating "cone breakup". The silk dome tweeter, meanwhile, combines low mass with the absence of audible resonances that plague conventional models. Finally, the BX8-D3 transducers deliver crucial detail, nuance and dynamic precision essential to your mixes, so you can make the right choices with minimal ear fatigue.

More than just a cabinet.

For M-Audio's BX8-D3s, every detail has been meticulously considered with the aim of facilitating precise mixing with complete confidence. The rear port, specifically developed for these listeners, minimizes air turbulence and distortion while offering an even more extended bass response. The BX8-D3's tweeter is mounted in an original waveguide for reliable, precise dispersion that eliminates unwanted high frequencies, while ensuring a sound image of exceptional breadth. When monitoring, it's essential to be seated in the central position between the two loudspeakers, the "sweet spot", in the precise position where the stereo image is optimized. The BX8-D3 is equipped with an indicator that makes it easy to locate this sweet spot. Position the monitors so that these indicators appear as bright as possible: you're in the ideal listening position. Last but not least, the singular keyhole design of the front panel is more than just aesthetically pleasing: this special fastener-less design ensures that no mounting screw heads interfere with the sound of the speakers.

Biamplified efficiency.

The Class A/B biamplification system incorporates two dedicated power amps for high and low frequencies and has more than enough headroom, even at the highest mix levels. Combined with a finely tuned crossover, this design ensures that each diffuser delivers only those frequencies for which it is most effective, resulting in timbre accuracy and sound coherence across the entire spectrum.

Tailor-made sound.

At M-Audio, we understand that no two listening spaces can be identical. Therefore, the "Acoustic Space" proximity control gives you the ability to fine-tune the speaker's sound according to the mixing environment, so that it always deploys truly faithful and reassuring sound reproduction.

Exhaustive connectivity.

Whatever your needs, the BX8-D3 monitoring speakers will integrate very easily into your existing setup. Thanks to their balanced XLR and TRS jack 6.35 mm inputs on the rear, BX8-D3 speakers can be connected to virtually any studio equipment, from mixers and interfaces to DJ equipment, for example.

Economical doesn't mean devoid of quality.

M-Audio's BX8-D3 loudspeakers excel in many ways, and mark the brand's return to prominence by following in the footsteps of the industry-renowned BX8-D2. Combining quality loudspeakers, meticulously designed enclosures, high-level amplifiers, versatile control options and standardized connectivity, the BX8-D3s certify outstanding sound quality and guarantee absolute surgical precision to enable you to make consistently reliable recordings.
