M-Audio BX-5A Overview

The M-Audio BX-5A is a bi-amplified two-way studio monitor that delivers professional sound at an affordable price. The monitor offers a 5" Kevlar-crafted, high-resilience low-frequency driver, and a 1" tweeter, powered by a total of 70 watts. The curved cone design of the woofer, combined with its high-temperature voice coils and damped rubber surrounds, contributes toward a durability and fidelity rarely found at this speaker's price point.

Designed to adapt to any changes in placement or work environment, the bass response of the monitor can be changed depending upon proximity to walls. The natural silk high-frequency drivers employ a flush design and electronic time alignment with the low-frequency driver, resulting in controlled dispersion for improved three-dimensional imaging.

When using the BX-5A with a subwoofer, a subsonic filter will roll-off low frequencies to optimize response at the crossover points. A tooled rear sub-frequency port reduces low-frequency turbulence and optimizes driver excursion for improved bass in a small footprint. The 1/4" TRS input is summed together with an XLR input through a balanced input amplifier, allowing both inputs to be used simultaneously.
