Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Studiophile Series BX8a Deluxe bi-ampliﬁed studio near-ﬁeld monitor

speakers. M-Audio is well known for digital audio interface technology, digital converters, audio

preamps and mixers. Now, after extensive research and development, M-Audio is proud to present the

Studiophile BX8a Deluxe.

The BX8a Deluxe was designed and tested by veteran audio engineers to meet your needs in a studio

monitoring environment. It is focused on the functional goal of delivering pure, original sound without

any additional coloration. The BX8a Deluxe monitor is self-powered, directly accepting a line-level

signal from a variety of sources.

The Studiophile BX8a Deluxe is designed to overcome all the limitations of conventional studio

reference monitors within the digital audio environment. This system delivers a wide-range frequency

response by employing two extraordinary drivers and unique crossover technology licensed by

M-Audio. It boasts a stable and balanced low-mid frequency response along with a deﬁned mid and

high-frequency response as well. Both drivers are magnetically shielded for desktop music production.

For pro engineers at commercial studios to home studio owners, the Studiophile BX8a Deluxe sets a

new affordable standard in studio monitoring.

Studiophile BX8a Deluxe Features

1. Woofer

The woofer unit is 8 inches in diameter with a magnetically shielded Kevlar cone, high-temperature

voice coil and damped rubber surround. It is designed to deliver balanced mid and low-frequency

response. M-Audio’s new BX8a Deluxe employs Kevlar for low-frequency driver construction. The

same material used in bullet-proof vests, Kevlar’s high resilience makes it ideal for use in speaker

cones—although it is typically reserved for monitors with higher price tags than the BX8a Deluxe.

Needless to say, Kevlar represents a signiﬁcant improvement over the polypropylene and paper used

in most monitors at this price.

2. Tweeter

By employing a specially developed 1-1/4 inch silk dome with magnetic shielding, the tweeter can

deliver distortion-free original sound and offer an extremely natural response. Its design minimizes

reaction time by using a specially shaped silk dome for excellent delivery, and also minimizes

resonance by adapting a unique internal damping technology.

3. Sub-Frequency Port

The air vent hole in the rear panel is called a Sub-Frequency Vent Port and is designed to allow the

discharge of extremely low frequencies occurring below 30Hz.
