Compact Yet Accurate Monitors

Listen to M-Audio's BX5 D2 active monitors and you'll hear what your mixes really sound like - without compromising precious space! You'll love the full sound these BX5 D2's give you, especially when you consider their compact footprint. Each speaker puts out 70 watts of power through its 5" Kevlar woofer and 1" HF driver, so you know you're getting clean, clear sound and high performance. And to make sure you get the optimum monitoring experience, these monitors come with two isolation pads to de-couple the BX5 D2s from whatever surface they're placed on, for tighter bass and better stereo imaging. If you want an accurate set of monitors at a great price, look no further than the M-Audio BX5 D2 active monitors.

M-Audio BX5 D2 Active Monitors at a Glance:
  • Kevlar woofer
  • Redesigned amplifier
  • Ideal for project studios

Kevlar woofer:
M-Audio's BX5 D2 monitors feature M-Audio's latest generation of kevlar woofers. Kevlar is more rigid and lighter than comparable paper cones could ever hope to be. That means tighter bass and more accurate mids from the BX5 D2s.

Redesigned amplifier:
The M-Audio BX5 D2 monitors sport 70 watts of power supplied by M-Audio's redesigned amplifier. The new amp uses a Class A/B design for maximum efficiency while providing highly dynamic playback.

Ideal for project studios:
If you work in a smaller studio space, you don't have much room for big monitors . The M-Audio BX5 D2 monitors have a small footprint so it's easy to position them where you need them. But don't let their small size fool you - the BX5 D2 monitors utilize a rear-ported design to make sure you have plenty of low-end to mix with.

M-Audio BX5 D2 Active Monitors Features:
  • Accurate monitoring in a compact size at a great price
  • Kevlar woofers provide tight, punchy bass
  • Class A/B amplifier is efficient yet highly dynamic
  • Rear ports for full bass response
  • Magnetically shielded to resist electromagnetic interference

You'll love how your mixes translate with the M-Audio BX5 D2 active monitors!

I needed a pair of studio monitors that would not break the bank. After much review and research I decided on a pair of M-Audio BX5 D2's. It was a good choice. They sound amazing with just enough bass... read more [+] without it being overwhelming, and the high end is very crisp but not over the top.

In the end I could not be happier and of course the service I got from Mark Maxwell my service engineer and the rest of the Sweetwater team was awesome as usual. close [-]

I have been mixing with headphones and the built-in speakers on my MacBook for too long. I had very little clue as to what to get for home studio monitors. A five-minute conversation with my Sweetwa... read more [+]ter rep, Ben, and I was convinced the BX5 D2's were the way to go. He was right on the money. For my budget, these sound so good. The bass is boomin', the highs are crisp, and the mid are right where they need to be.

I'm running Logic and ProTools on a MacBook Pro through an MBox2. If this is the type of set-up you have, make sure to get the proper cord to connect with (TRS to XLR). Very simple to use; just plug and play (literally).

In short, I'm very happy with these great monitors. close [-]
