Have you ever tried to mix with cotton in your ears? No? Then why are you mixing on low-quality speakers? Do yourself a favor — instead of fluttering around in the dark, upgrade to the M-Audio BX5 D3. This studio monitor pumps 100 powerful watts through a 5" military-grade Kevlar woofer and 1" silk dome tweeter to deliver the clarity and detail you need to make proper mixing decisions. A custom waveguide ensures accurate dispersion for an incredibly tight soundstage. An optimized rear-mounted port produces defined low-end response with bass extension down to 52Hz. And if your room's a problem, you can adapt the BX5 D3 to your space with the Acoustic Space Control.

Built to deliver critical detail, nuance, and dynamic accuracy

The BX5 D3 was meticulously engineered to provide accurate sound reproduction. A high-current, high-headroom Class A/B amplifier drives a 5" military-grade Kevlar woofer and 1" silk dome tweeter. The speaker features a bi-amplified design, so it exhibits a sound that's both powerful and precise. A rear-mounted port was built to a specific length and diameter to produce deep, defined bass. A custom waveguide eliminates unwanted high-frequency scatter, ensuring that the BX5 D3's imaging is spot on. And don't worry about positioning — a front-panel LED shines brightly when the BX5 D3 is at the ideal monitor angle.

Tailor your studio monitor to your mixing environment

Every room is different, and the BX5 D3 takes this into account. Its Acoustic Space Control tailors your monitor to your mix space, ensuring that you experience honest, accurate sound. Thanks to this useful feature, you can eliminate those pesky low frequencies and tame problematic standing waves. Use a set of these monitors, and you'll be amazed at how your mixes sound — they'll sound great in the studio, on your earbuds, and in your car.

What M-Audio Says...

A studio monitor is no ordinary loudspeaker. Unlike a conventional speaker, a true monitor must be unerringly accurate, with a flat frequency response and vanishingly low distortion. It has to tell you, the music producer— dependably and unquestionably—exactly what is or is not in your recording. In a studio-grade monitor speaker, there is no place for the usual list of speaker colorations and limitations prevalent in conventional loudspeakers. Response peaks\dips, uneven polar response, high THD, nasal midrange, bloated mid-bass, and crossover-induced phase incoherence do nothing but undermine the confidence demanded for superior mix performance.
