Accurate and Enjoyable
Whether you’re recording, mixing, or mastering, your monitors are your primary reference source. Accurate monitors let you hear exactly what’s happening in your mixes—and give you the assurance that your music will translate well to other listening environments.

Designed for Pros—and Beginners
Countless pros use M-Audio studio monitors to produce and mix the music and audio you hear every day. The BX D2 series makes that same design philosophy and technology available to anyone with a passion for great sound. BX5 D2 helps you understand what’s in your mix so you can make better decisions about how it will translate across a wide variety of systems—from MP3 earbuds to car stereos to audiophile rigs.

Silk-Dome, Waveguide-Loaded, High-Frequency Drivers
The high-frequency domes are made from natural silk to counter the audible ringing that is inherent in the poorly crafted metallic materials often found in other monitors. The high-frequency driver is fully isolated from the rest of the enclosure to ensure minimum distortion, providing ultra-smooth frequency response up to 22 kHz. It also features a built-in waveguide, which offers an expansive sound stage and exceptional imaging.

Kevlar Low-Frequency Drivers
To insure a lifetime of service, we constructed the BX5 D2 monitor’s 5” low-frequency driver from woven Kevlar. Kevlar’s high mechanical and thermal resilience makes it ideal for use in speaker cones. Our engineers also created a curved conical design that improves room dispersion. High-damping reliable rubber surrounds provide percussive musical bass, and insure that the cone reaches its optimal excursion for accurate reproduction. And our high-temperature voice coils reduce power compression, guaranteeing that your monitors will deliver full performance hour after hour.

Rear-Ported Cabinet Design
The BX5 D2 cabinet is integrally designed with its other components for optimal performance—right down to rounded corners for reduced edge diffraction and superior imaging. The custom rear port is designed to minimize air turbulence and resulting distortion while adding additional low frequency extension.

Bi-Amplified Efficiency
The Class A/B bi-amplified design dedicates separate power amps to the high and low frequencies—providing ample headroom for even the loudest and most dynamic of mixes. Combined with a finely tuned crossover, the design ensures that each driver only delivers the frequencies that it can reproduce most efficiently, resulting in tonal accuracy and cohesive sound across the entire frequency spectrum.

Find the Sweet Spot Quickly and Easily
When monitoring, it’s important to sit in the middle position or “sweet spot” between the two speakers—where the stereo image is optimized. BX5 D2 features a pinhole power LED that makes finding the sweet spot easy. You’ll know you’re in the right listening position when the BX5 D2 power LEDs appear to be brightest.
 
Note: Monitors typically do not provide the kind of Bass one is accustomed to for Music, Games, etc.... You will need a good powered SubWoofer, compatible with monitors, for a well rounded sound stage.

The M-Audio BX12 would be one example.
 
what are you talking about! These are great speakers for your pc. They can be very loud and have enough bass. If you are doing sound recording work or for some reason require anything below 50hz then you may want to invest in a sub. But for the price this is a great deal!
 
what would be a good usb interface for these bad boys? Thanks for heads up techlarry
 
I've been using a pair of Red BX5a for about 5 years now, they are solid speakers.

No they don't. I have this set and there's very little bass with these monitors. You absolutely have to buy the accompany subwoofer to get the bass you want.
 
No shit that's why I posted it :)

I've also owned them, so I know how they sound.

I currently use M3-6's.

Have a pair of these hooked up to the kids' Yamaha CP33 and they are a great deal at this price... I'm pretty sure when we bought them on sale a couple years ago with 'board, we paid about $200 for them, and I had convinced myself that was a good deal at the time.

Great buy on a great set of monitors.
 
I have the BX5a deluxes for like 5 years and got them on similar deal at guitar center. I have them plugged into a objective 02 amp/dac and they they sound great !
 
How much better are these than the av40's?

They are alot louder and sound alot more accurate. I would say a big difference. I have own both speakers. I actually upgraded from AV40's to these.
 
I bought my set from Sam Ash earlier this year when they were $75ea. shipped, great little speakers.
I added the BX Subwoofer which really fills in the low end.
