M-Audio BX5a Deluxe Active Studio Monitors (Pair)
M-Audio has become the industry leaders when it comes to value-priced professional audio products. Most surprisingly to many audio pros is the quality they’ve been able to put forth in all their offerings so it’s no great surprise that the M-Audio BX5A Deluxe Active Studio Monitors set the competition on their collective ears in the cost to quality ratio department. The BX5A’s are magnetically shielded so computer interference is not a concern. They sport a curved, 5” Kevlar low-frequency driver for the woofer and a 1” natural silk tweeter. These quality components deliver an accurate, non-fatiguing reproduction of music and speech that makes tracking and mixing an enjoyable, non-laborious task, even for long hours at a time. 2 built-in separate power amps adding up to 70watts, one dedicated to the low frequencies and one to the highs are internally crossed over, perfectly tuned to deliver just the right frequencies to their respective components. This results in smooth, clean highs and full lows, a perfect blend across the overall sound spectrum. If you like to check your mixes loud you’ve come to the right studio monitors! These babies kick proverbial you-know-what for their small size so you’ll really get a sense of how your finished mixes will translate to listeners with all types of listening habits. We’re talking small footprint with a BIGFOOT sound! Much research went into the BX5a Deluxe speakers in an effort to offer the very best possible mixing experience in this price-point and one listen will have you in agreement that they’ve totally hit the mark! From a custom rear-port design that reduces low-end turbulence (which can result in unpleasant distortion) to the rounded corners to reduce edge diffraction, you can see as well as hear that a lot of thought and ingenious knowhow were at work here. Around the rear are 2 connection options, XLR and balanced ¼”, the power switch and AC plug port. Setup and hookup is just plain simple. The harmonious marriage of a quality design, employing quality components and some clever engineering is the M-Audio recipe for a killer professional studio monitor at a very welcoming price-point. The M-Audio BX5A stands and delivers. Looking for a little more “oomph & thud” in your bass frequency reproduction? Pair the BX5a’s with the SBX10 Subwoofer or step up to the bigger BX8a monitors. Ask your Sam Ash Sales Associate and they’ll happily give you the “lowdown”. Word.
