Uncompromised Nearfield Monitor Performance!

Many quality loudspeaker manufacturers utilize Dynaudio components in their monitors. But few can compare to the actual Dynaudio listening experience! The BM 15A nearfield monitor combines Dynaudio's custom drivers, high performance amplifiers and phase-aligned crossover to give you real-world dynamics and a true sense of space along with incredibly realistic vocal reproduction.

Dynaudio BM 15A 2-Way Active Monitor at a Glance:
  • Flawless performance from 100% custom-designed and built drivers, cabinets and electronics
  • Clear, live bass from 10" woofer that outperforms most 12" drivers
  • Even, peak-free response from silk dome tweeter
  • Master-built bass reflex cabinet optimizes low frequency response
  • Dual discrete MOSFET amplifiers and precision electronics power the cleanest possible signal

100% custom-designed and built drivers, cabinets and electronics
Like all Dynaudio monitors, the BM 15A is completely custom-designed and built to assure a perfect match of components. The drivers are specifically designed to avoid acoustic and performance problems that would require extensive manipulation of crossovers to correct. The cabinets are crafted in Dynaudio's Denmark facility and minimize resonance while enhancing bass response. And the BM 15A's crossovers, protection circuitry and power amplifiers all are optimized for maximum performance, phase-coherent reproduction and high SPLs.

A 10" woofer that outperforms most 12" drivers
Key to the BM 15A is its 10" low frequency driver. Dynaudio molds its cone of Magnesium Silicate Polymer with their special "flat cone" geometry for outstanding transient response and minimal breakup. With a cast aluminum frame, oversized vented magnet and 4" aluminium alloy voice coil this driver outperforms most 12" speakers in terms of power output and sheer punch. In fact, the BM 15A delivers clean, tight bass response down to 30Hz.

Even, peak-free response from silk dome tweeter
The BM 15A's ESOTEC high frequency driver spells quality and headroom due to a dynamic headroom of 1000 watts. Its soft dome of specially coated silk provides excellent response with no ringing or resonances.

Master-built bass reflex cabinet
Also built in Dynaudio's plant, the BM15A enclosure is constructed of hand-selected premium woods and quality veneers. Its front bass port contributes to the BM15A's solid low frequencies. Radius edges on the front baffle reduce boundary effects and improve the overall sound quality. And with its elegant matte finish the BM 15A looks every bit as good as it sounds!

Precision electronics for the cleanest possible signal
Thanks to its custom-designed phase-coherent electronic crossover with a 30dB per octave slope the BM 15A offers a seamless transition between drivers. You've got plenty of power from the built-in high performance discrete MOSFET amplifiers, with 200 watts for the low frequency driver and 100 watts for highs. Precision protection circuitry ensures the drivers are safe from damage. If you demand ultimate quality in sound reproduction you don't want to miss the BM 15A!

Professional Monitors!

by Pier Giacalone from Doylestown, PA
February 24, 2011
Music Background: Studio Owner, Recording/Live Engineer, Producer, Musician
I have had these monitors since 2003 and I love them to death. When I chose them it was in a shootout with 7 other very popular brands (ADAMS, Genelec, Mackie, etc), and it was not even close. The m... read more [+]ost important plus of these speakers to me is the phase-aligned crossover. Most speakers seem to have their tweeters designed on Mars and woofers on Venus and then have a hell of a time making them play well together resulting in a cloudy, phasey crossover right in the most critical frequency band for music. Dynaudio, more than any other company I've seen, went to great lengths to use similar materials and design both components to seamlessly work together from the inception of the design.

It's easy to get blown away by ribbon tweeters but what at first seems like a less articulate top end on the Dyns is actually a more true-to-life, unfatiguing top that blends effortlessly with the woofer giving you a much more accurate imagine overall.

I only have one reservation in recommending them, and it's a big one. These speakers are really mid-field, not nearfield. They're big and loud and they fill whatever room they are in. That means you ARE going to hear your room for better or worse. If you are not working in a professionally designed room, then I would suggest going for the smaller BM6A along with a sub. In a good control room the BM15a don't really need a sub unless you're working on hip hop. I've found that to really get the low end accurate in my less-than pro designed room that I needed an acoustic correction system. I went with the KRK ERGO. The combination of the ERGO and the BM15a is phenomenal, but it's an expense to factor in.

That caveat notwithstanding, I can work on these speakers all day/night and feel great and the work is fun, unlike some speakers that are "flat" to the point of not sounding pleasant. close [-]

The class of near-midfield monitors

Music Background: pro composer/producer 20+ yeaars
The day I ditched my Tannoys (which I loved, by the way) for the 15As was a revelation. First thing - I reviewed some of my favorite mixes. Wow. I heard little problems with the mixes - small bits of ... read more [+]distortion or noise I had never heard before. No such problems now! These babies will keep you honest. Plus, there's none of the feel-good hype I associate with Genelecs. Just brutal honesty. And the low end is amazing.
