M-Audio

Description

Made to rival any studio monitor currently available, the M-Audio's BX5 Graphite 5" powered studio monitor is here to bring you articulate, crystal-clear sound fit for any of your recording needs. With a lightweight design, the 5" carbon fiber woofer and 1" natural silk-dome tweeter bring a well-balanced quick response, that removes unwanted audible resonances and "cone breakup." This studio monitor easily connects to any studio equipment and current interface you might be using for a seamless operation.

Defined Sound With Big Power

The BX5 Graphite comes with an Acoustic Space control that fine-tunes the bass in relation to the room you are in, which helps to eliminate standing waves. Combined with the High Frequency control that helps to regulate the high-end acoustics of a room, you are given precise control of the environment you’re in to reproduce the most clear and accurate sound. For ultimate power, there are two Class-A/B internal amplifiers with 100W, designed to handle the woofer and tweeter individually.

Cohesive Acoustics With Low Interference

There is an optimized rear-mounted port that is built to extend the response in the low-end and maximize resolution. The 5" carbon fiber low-frequency driver is able to deliver a balanced sound with accurate reproduction thanks to the high-temp voice coil and dampened rubber surround. The optimized waveguide tweeter reduces overall distortion and enhances dispersion in the high end for a more precise sound. With a smooth flared port, XLR, 1/4" and RCA inputs, connecting to any audio source with low air turbulence, gives this monitor a balanced sound with an easy setup.

    Impressive performance M-Audio

    I recently purchased the M-Audio BX5 Graphite 5" Powered Studio Monitor from Guitar Center, and I'm impressed by its performance! These monitors have elevated my music production experience to a whole new level. The clarity of sound is exceptional, allowing me to pick up on subtle nuances in my mixes that I hadn't noticed before. The bass response is tight and punchy, while the highs are crisp and detailed. The 5" woofer delivers a balanced, full-range sound that's perfect for my small studio space. The build quality is top-notch, exuding durability and professionalism. I also appreciate the sleek, modern design that blends seamlessly with my workspace> I especially like the underneath light. Setting up the BX5 Graphite was a breeze, and they integrated seamlessly with my existing equipment. The rear-panel controls allow for precise adjustments to suit various mixing environments. Whether you're a seasoned producer or just starting out, these studio monitors are a fantastic investment. They provide accurate, reliable sound reproduction at an incredibly reasonable price point. I'm thoroughly impressed and highly recommend the M-Audio BX5 Graphite to any fellow music enthusiast!

      I use a pair of these for studio monitors and what stands out to me is the clarity of tone through the whole frequency range. Great for mixing or just listening to any audio sources. A friend who worked in studios out in L.A. suggested I get a pair and I'm very happy with the results. I also got luck to get them on sale!

    • Definitely a great monitor

      Better than all studio monitors out there and trust me I bought every single kind before settling on these! Get JBL if you're not planning on using for entertaining others or want more bass. These are for those that want to hear the sound not feel it shaking the house. These send sound! I have a combination of JBL and these. JBL act as my sub but also provide additional sound , however these are my primary monitors while jbl's passively operate in the background. You can transport anywhere as well. Has RCA port so just use a TRS adapter to aux and boom you have music where ever you're from any device with a Aux port (new iPhone need the lightening to aux connector) no additional equipment needed like an audio interface to use these puppies but if you want to maximize the output definitely get a sound card (interface).
