Manufacturer's Description for MAudio BX5 Powered Monitors
The BX5s are the latest in the popular Studiophile series that delivers exceptional quality and professional sound at affordable prices. The BX5s offer 5.25 in. low-frequency drivers, 1 in. high-frequency drivers, and 75 watts of bi-amped near-field technology at a fraction of the cost of other monitors their size.
Features: Active design with integral crossover and amplification
Silk high-frequency drivers incorporate ferro-fluid cooling and internal damping technologies to minimize resonance
Low-frequency drivers feature mineral-filled polypropylene cones with high-temperature tolerant voice coils and damped rubber surrounds
Electronic time alignment of drivers delivers controlled dispersion for superior three-dimensional imaging
All drivers are magnetically shielded for desktop music production
Tooled rear Sub-Frequency Ports reduce low-frequency turbulence and optimize driver excursion for amazing bass in a small footprint
Monitors that Adapt to Your Needs Your monitors should be able to adapt to any changes in placement or work environment. That's just what the BX5s do. Since a monitor's bass response can change depending upon proximity to walls, the BX5s Acoustic Space control section allows you to optimize their performance -- no matter whether you need to put them on stands, on a bookshelf or in the corners. You can also adjust the high-frequency response to compensate for reflective surfaces like glass. The presence control gives you an automatic mid-range boost for added flexibility. There's even a variable low-frequency roll-off to optimize response at crossover points when adding a subwoofer like the Studiophile SP-8S.
The 1 in. natural silk high-frequency drivers employs a flush design and electronic time alignment with the low-frequency driver, resulting in controlled dispersion for superior 3-dimensional imaging. The tooled rear Sub-Frequency Ports reduce low-frequency turbulence and optimize driver excursion for amazing bass in a small footprint.
The Affordable New Standard in Reference Monitoring The Studiophile line proves that world-class reference monitors don't have to cost a fortune. Integral bi-amplification and crossover networks distribute the optimal frequencies to the high and low drivers for superior performance over component systems. Benefits include flatter frequency response, reduced distortion and maximized power handling. The optional SP-8S subwoofer extends accurate low-frequency reproduction to deliver bass you feel as well as hear. The bottom line: The Studiophiles deliver exceptional quality at a fraction of the cost of other monitors their size.
Acoustic Space Control Adapts Monitors to Your Needs Your monitors should be able to adapt to any changes in placement or work environment. That's just what Acoustic Space Control does in the BX8s and BX5s. Since a monitor's bass response can change depending upon proximity to walls, this control section allows you to optimize performance -- no matter whether you need to put your Studiophiles on stands, on a bookshelf or in the corners. You can also adjust the high-frequency response to compensate for reflective surfaces like glass. The presence control gives you an automatic mid-range boost for added flexibility.

"great addition to my lab."
Sound:
the sound is excellent! Far more intense than what i expected for $300. I've been hearing other people talk about these not delivering enough bass, but that must just depend on the size of ones studio. mine for instance is only 6X9, and these babies rock! Good thing my room is totally soundproof, or my son would definately be up all night!

the acoustic space controls work great. took me only a minute to understand and get them to fit my needs.
Quality:

The Wow Factor:
these are pretty sleek lookin, and i like the little blue LED light on the front. very professional. a fine addition to my studio.
Overall:
these are the first studio monitors i have ever bought, but believe me, i've done about four or five months of shoppin around in stores listening to different brands, reading up on the web, reviews, ect...these were my only choice, then again, remember...my studio is only 6X9.
Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?
