M-Audio - BX5 D3

Description

Introducing M-Audio's BX5 D3 monitors - the return of a studio icon and the successor to the industry-renowned BX D2 monitors. Trusted by recording/mix engineers and composers globally, M-Audios BX monitors guarantee absolute surgical precision and repeatable engineering excellence.

Listen with confidence: with M-Audios BX5 D3 studio reference monitors, you'll hear everything in lifelike detail, so your mixes and recordings will sound their best!

Features:
* 5-inch military-grade Kevlar woofers are rigid and lightweight, delivering outstanding transient response whist negating unwanted "cone breakup."

* Treated silk dome tweeter provides the perfect combination of low mass and the absence of audible resonances that plague conventional tweeters.

* BX drivers deliver critical detail, nuance and dynamic accuracy, so your mixes have the veracity and transparency you demand.

* Rear-mounted bass port, meticulously engineered to the exact length and diameter. The result? Deep, defined bass response with maximum bass extension and resolution.

* 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.

* Front-mounted positioning LED shines brightly when you're located in the perfect listening spot, for uncompromisingly accurate and reliable critical evaluations.

* Iconic "keyhole" shape design on the front panel 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.

* Driving the BX5-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.

* 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.

* Acoustic Space control for precise adjustment of BX5-D3's sound output in line with your studio space.

* Combining conveniently-located rear-mounted XLR and 1/4-inch balanced inputs, BX5-D3 connects to virtually any studio equipment including mixers, interfaces, DJ gear and more.
