Dynaudio BM5A MKII Reviews

5 5.0/5.0 based on 4 customer reviews

Sweetwater Advice

Danielle Cummings
If you thought you knew the BM5A, think again... the updates they made to the MKII series are worth a listen. This speaker can cover all genres of music with ease, and has smooth linear coverage, even down to the low ranges. After listening to these for several hours, I found that my ears were not experiencing fatigue as they would with many other monitors. Overall, a great pair of speakers to step up to!

Love these little giants

These little guys are great. Our production control environment has a tendency to get noisy, but these monitors cut through the clutter effortlessly while consistently deliviering the honest, unadulterated sound we need to assure that the sound produced by the musicians is the sound we are capturing.

A Clear Reference with some bottom!

I have been using the Alesis MKII's (the old version) without the ports. I have struggled with the mixes until I bought these from Sweetwater. I soon found out that the old style MKII's were giving me a false since of the stereo field. I also couldn't figure out why my mixed always seemed muddy and too bassy. It was because of the missing low end response and the clarity. My control room has been sound treated properly as well and I have used analyzers to make sure the sound is right. Ever since I have been using these monitors I was able to fine tune the micing for tracking and also make the mixes gel. Great monitors for the price. If you like to hear the bass and don't want to buy a sub, this will work for you. A clear choice! I love them!

Awesome.

Recently upgraded to a pair of the BM5As (from a pair of Behringer Truths 2301s). Nothing against Truths--they served me well for 5 years--but upgrading to the BM5As made a tremendous difference in my mixes. I chose these over the Adam A7s and the JBL 4328s, and for my room (which is on the smaller side), I couldn't be happier. I would also urge folks who are contemplating what to upgrade first (i.e. monitors, pre's, converters, mics, etc) to stronger consider upgrading your MONITORS before anything else. All the other stuff won't matter if you can't hear it!!

EXCELLENTLY HONEST!

I've worked with my fair share of studio monitors. Luke H from sweetwater suggested these for my price range. SO GREAT! Honest studio monitors that will impress you with headroom! GREAT bass response! You'll be pleased with the True mixes.

My Sweetwater Sales Engineer wasn't pushy like most "typical" sales people. His suggestions have been wonderful. I'm going to use you guys for life!
