Sound Matters

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. Introducing M-Audio’s BX8 D3 monitors—the return of a studio icon and the successor to the industry-renowned BX D2 monitors.

Listen with confidence: with M-Audio’s BX8 D3 studio reference monitors, you’ll hear everything in lifelike detail, so your mixes and recordings will sound their best!

Studio-Grade Drivers

A monitor’s drivers are the heart and soul of its performance. Driving the low-end and midrange, BX8 D3’s 5-inch military-grade Kevlar woofers are rigid and lightweight, delivering outstanding transient response whist negating unwanted “cone breakup.”

BX8 D3’s treated silk dome tweeter provides the perfect combination of low mass and the absence of audible resonances that plague conventional tweeters. Together, the BX drivers deliver critical detail, nuance and dynamic accuracy, so your mixes have the veracity and transparency you demand.

Its all in the Enclosure

With M-Audio’s BX8 D3, every detail has been meticulously engineered with one goal in mind - to facilitate the freedom to mix with confidence. BX8 D3 monitors have a rear-mounted bass port, meticulously engineered to the exact length and diameter. The result? Deep, defined bass response with maximum bass extension and resolution. BX8 D3’s 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. Finally, BX8 D3’s iconic design on the front panel—M-Audio’s famous “keyhole” shape—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 our drivers.

Class A/B Bi-Amplified Power

Efficient and accurate: Driving the BX8 D3 monitors are two Class A/B internal amplifiers that power the woofer and tweeter separately - each optimised for the specific frequency range it handles and engineered to complement the characteristics of its companion driver. A 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. Play louder with less audible distortion: The BX8 D3 bi-amplified design is a far more efficient and accurate way to power a loudspeaker than using a single full-range amplifier to drive multiple driver elements
