  1. BX5D3

    Unerringly accurate

    With a flat frequency response and vanishingly low distortion, this studio reference monitor tells you, the music producer dependably and unquestionably exactly what is or is not in your recording.

  2. BX5D3

    Kevlar woofers

    Driving the low-end and midrange, BX5-D3’s 5-inch military-grade Kevlar woofers are rigid and lightweight, delivering outstanding transient response whist negating unwanted ‘cone breakup’.

  3. BX5D3

    Computer Optimized Waveguide

    BX5-D3’s tweeter is mounted in a custom waveguide for reliably accurate dispersion that eliminates unwanted high-frequency ‘scatter,’ whilst ensuring a wide and stable soundstage.

  4. BX5D3

    Rear-mounted bass port

    Precision engineered to the exact length and diameter for deep, defined bass response with maximum bass extension and resolution.

  5. BX5D3

    Class A/B Bi-Amplified Power

    Two Class A/B internal amplifiers power the woofer and tweeter separately – each optimized for the specific frequency range it handles so you can play louder with less audible distortion.

  6. BX5D3

    Acoustic Space Control

    Fine-tune low-end response to perfectly fit your mixing environment.

    Forse l’unico difetto che gli ho trovato e che la finitura non proprio resistentissima fatta simile al vinile se ci poggiate qualcosa di pesante si segnano facilmente.

    I bought the BX5 D3 (5 inches driver) first and was quite amazed by the sound output and bass. After that I wanted to give a try to the big brother, the BX8.

    First of all, they are really BIG. They have a simple design, but look gorgeous and “muscular”. The build quality, packaging is very good. As a professional gear, they only include power leads, so keep that in mind when shopping.

    After having the BX5, I was expecting even more bass, but interestingly that’s not the case here. The BX8s sounds more detailed and open. I found the BX5 quite bass heavy for a studio speaker, but the BX8 is different. It has more clarity in the mids and voices. Highs are also more articulated, but never get too harsh. (like almost all the other studio monitors)

    I love how these speaker sound, but to my ears they don’t sound like “studio monitors”. They are not harsh or fatiguing and have sweeet low end.
    I had the new Rokit G4s (7 inches), Yamaha HS8. These speakers can be good work tools, but for general listening I can not stand them The Rokit was too flat and lifeless, no matter what fancy EQ setting I used. The HS8s are amazing – everyone knows that -, but they have just too much highs (even with high cut filter), and after a while you will find them fatiguing and too much.
    I also have Presonous speakers and they have more details, but the same problem persist: long or loud listening sessions lead to ear fatigue or headache.

    The M-Audio BX8 D3 is a great speaker that does everything right with a very fun and easy-to-listen sound signature. They can work in a studio environment, but also great in a living room for TV or general music listening, gaming etc.

    All music journals sound amazing on it. There is detail, excellent bass :), great voice reproduction and power. For this price you can not go wrong with them. I highly recommend the 8 inches model. Just make sure if you have the space and some proper speaker stands. 🙂

    Ho acquistato il modello BX5 perch cercavo qualcosa di pi professionale e ne sono rimasto alquanto soddisfatto considerando il prezzo.
    Se dovessi trovare il pelo nell’uovo, direi che hanno un po’ troppi bassi (regolate in flat) rispetto alle concorrenti (posseggo anche le Yamaha HS5) e dei 100w che han scritto nella descrizione, sono abbastanza titubante..

    Only downside, a little bass heavy. Ok if you have an equaliser. But very clear sound.

    Connected to a Bluetooth adapter via xlr to 3.5mm jack. Also connected to laptop when usind dj software.

    Other input is TLR.

    Ideally need two.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersPour un home studio mes deux enceintes me donnent un son pur et parfait pour leur prix.
    J’ai voulu tester leur puissance de 150W chacun, je n’ai pas pu monter plus de 40% de leur volume.
    Branchs en premier sur Maschine MK3, ils me laissaient un lger bruit de fond.
    Branchs ensuite sur une interface son Behringer, c’est le silence complet.
    Attention,
    1- Les amplis intgrs dans les enceintes chauffent; Ne les laissez pas allums 24/24.
    Eteignez les pour la nuit par exemple.

    Comprate sotto Prime day con sconto su Wharehouse… che dire… portate n.2 a casa con una spesa di 110 euro. Belle solide, alloggiate su una scrivania e consiglio di posizionarle bene per avere il giusto e corretto ambiente sonoro. Utilizzare dei supporti per alzare la sorgente sonora d’obbligo oltretutto per disaccoppiare le casse dal piano di lavoro altrimenti ci si ritrova ad avere enfatizzati i bassi e smorzati gli alti. Il piccolo led bianco posto tra il tweeter e il cono medio indica oltre lo stato di attivit del monitor anche il punto di ascolto, perci dovrebbe essere indicativamente messo all’altezza degli occhi e se ben visibile allora dovrete aver trovato l’altezza giusta. Consigliate se le trovate ad un prezzo scontato, probabilmente al prezzo pieno e poco pi si pu pensare a salire di livello.

    Probably the best pair of monitors I’ve had within this price range.
    Nice deep lows and crisp highs. They do lack a little bit of punch in the mid-range though.

    Perfect for a home studio. Simple enough to set up for newbies and experienced pro’s alike.

    utilizzo le stesse anche per produzioni discografiche e riesco a percepire anche le frequenze minime.
    penso che non sia tanto un questione “ormai di abitudine” penso che sia davvero un ottimo prodotto e che volendo spinge anche bene!

    io lo consiglio sia come ascolto sia come produzione, ovviamente se siete quelli che vogliono ascoltare la musica alta e far tremare i vetri questo e della qualit non vi importa nulla, questo non un prodotto che fa per voi !

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersEcht klasse die Teile. Machen einen sehr erwachsenen Sound. Haben schon odentlich Bass. Kann man ja bisschen rausdrehen. Aber besser wie Boxen die zu wenig Bass ausgeben und die Mixes werden dann zu bassig. Und einen Subwoofer brauch man definitiv nicht! Ich find den Frequenzgang sehr ausgewogen. Wem es einem nicht gefllt muss halt mit nem EQ (zB. DEQ2496) nachhelfen. Aber es wird ja sowieso kein Lautsprecher geben der den ungeradlinigen Frequenzgang der eigenen Ohren exakt ausgleicht. Einfach die lieblingsmusik ber die Lautsprecker hren. EQ so einstellen das es gut fr einen klingt dann werden auch die eigenen Mixes gut die man ber die LS mit EQ abmischt.

    I bought these to use in my shed with my decks and mixer and they are extremely loud! I didn’t need anything amazing but I was surprised how well they sounded (I do use a Behringer EQ) Be careful on placement as the bass port is big on the rear and will boom if it’s too close in a corner.

    I always liked the original sound without boosting low or high and M-Audio speaker is ideal for the purpose. It is very heavy for a home audio speaker, probably due to the transformers and the magnets used in the speaker and circuitry inside for the exact reproduction of original audio. Initially I ordered only one speaker since I was taking a chance in buying this comparatively expensive speaker. But now I feel that I could have bought two speakers together as the seller has stopped sending the item to my area may be due to some delivery problems. I would be ordering a second speaker next time the seller is ready to send it to my location.

    I purchased a pair of BX8s, and to my surprise, they really are amazing. I’ve heard a lot of speakers and for the price, I can’t imagine anything being better. They easily beat out passive commercial speakers at the same cost which is what surprised me most. I didn’t expect this kind of value. I am using them as my PC speakers, so listening distance is around 1m and they work excellent for this.

    I haven’t heard the BX5s, but I would happily suggest going straight for the BX8s if you have the space as they can go that extra bit deeper and they do so very effortlessly. They have great separation and never get muddled, I assume this is part of the benefit of having an 8″ driver with so much headroom.

    Pros:
    – Excellent value for money
    – Great instrument separation
    – Low distortion
    – Loads of headroom for cranking the volume when you want to
    – Extended, tight bass
    – Nice frequency response for me. They sound reasonably flat, never harsh or too bassy.

    Cons:
    – Small hiss from tweeters (basically inaudible if at a suitable listening distance). This is not much of an issue at all but I thought I would list it for those wondering. I wouldn’t let this put you off these amazing speakers.
    – Volume control is independent on each unit. This is something normal for studio monitors, I just have the sound set to a quarter on both and I control the rest through windows. If you have an audio interface or DAC with volume control this should do the trick.
    – No standby or auto standby modes. This is the biggest issue for me as I am quite eco friendly. It is a bit of a hassle to turn the speakers on and off by the back switch every time I use them, however it’s a compromise I’m happy to make for the quality. I will probably get an extension lead just for the two speakers, then I can easily switch them on and off without affecting any of my other devices.

    Die Qualitt ist fr diesen Preis absolut Top. Der Bass ist so heftig,da ich ihn auf ein Minimum reduzieren muss. Ich bin mit dem Klang mehr als zufrieden. Klein3 Detsils sind deutlich zu Hren. Ich nutze die Boxen in meinem Homestudio mit diversen Synths und Grooveboxen. Es ist ein leichtes Grundrauschen zu vernehmen, welches im Betrieb mit Instrumemten nicht zu hren ist.

When I need to hear a flat signal to make sure my mix is right, they deliver. When I need power, quality bass they more than deliver.
