Amazing Value in This Monitor Pair

Listen to M-Audio's BX8 D2 active monitors and you'll hear what your mixes really sound like - without compromising precious space! You'll love the full sound these BX8 D2's give you, especially when you consider their compact footprint. Each speaker puts out 130 watts of power through its 8" Kevlar woofer and 1.25" 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 BX8 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 BX8 D2 active monitors.

M-Audio BX8 D2 Active Monitors at a Glance:
  • Kevlar woofer
  • Redesigned amplifier
  • Ideal for project studios

Kevlar woofer:
M-Audio's BX8 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 BX8 D2s.

Redesigned amplifier:
The M-Audio BX8 D2 monitors sport 130 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 BX8 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 BX8 D2 monitors utilize a rear-ported design to make sure you have plenty of low-end to mix with.

M-Audio BX8 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 BX8 D2 active monitors!

M-Audio BX8 D2 Reference Monitors

Once again M-Audio has shown that anything M-Audio is good. The sighting tunnel lights made it quick and easy to set up and lock in on the listening position. The on board Amps simplify the set up and... read more [+] run quietly with plenty of headroom. The sound of these speakers is clean and the stereo placement is fantastic. These speakers filled the last hole in my rig and I can hear the difference they have made in my mix down and mastering. I do Hammond and synths, lots of sampled sounds. I enjoy everything from solos to symphonic multi tracking. I can finally hear what I am recording clearly and with great detail.These M- Audio monitors are frosting on the cake as far as I am concerned. Thanks for your help on this purchase Sweetwater. close [-]

Really excellent monitors

by Jeff from Upstate NY

Music Background: Semipro recording engineer
I bought a pair of BX8 D2s after I did a direct listening comparison between about a dozen monitors in the <$1000 price bracket and found that these guys blew everything else out of the water. The sou... read more [+]nd stands out for the precise low end and the detail in the upper mids. My mixes have translated well, which is basically to say that they make bad mixes sound really obviously bad. A nice bonus is that it is also sheer joy to listen to really great tracks on these.

Obviously the usual disclaimers about making sure the speaker size is appropriate for your space, etc. apply. And I can't comment on durability. But if I were buying a new pair today, I would pick BX8 D2s over Rokit 8s or Yamaha HS80s any day of the week and twice on Sunday. close [-]
