Recording professionals around the world trust M-Audio Studiophile™ reference monitors for exceptional sonic accuracy. The new Studiophile BX8a and BX5a Deluxe systems build on this legacy with new waveguides and enhanced driver integration for greater high-frequency clarity and refined sound.

The magnetically shielded monitors feature curved Kevlar low-frequency drivers plus high-temperature voice coils and damped rubber surrounds for durability and fidelity. The 1-1/4” natural silk, waveguide-loaded tweeters deliver a high end that’s both clear and easy on the ears. Custom-tuned crossovers distribute 130 watts of bi-amplified power for optimal frequency handling by each driver.

To insure a lifetime of service, M-Audio constructed the BX8a Deluxe  and BX5a Deluxe monitors' low-frequency drivers from woven Kevlar. Kevlar’s high mechanical and thermal resilience makes it ideal for use in speaker cones. The M-Audio engineers also created a curved conical design that improves room dispersion. High-damping reliable rubber surrounds provide percussive musical bass, and insure that the cone reaches its optimal excursion for accurate reproduction. And high-temperature voice coils reduce power compression, guaranteeing that your monitors will deliver full performance hour after hour.

Silk-dome, waveguide-loaded, high-frequency drivers

Their high-frequency domes are made from natural silk to counter the high Q ringing that is inherent in the poorly crafted metallic materials often found in other monitors. In addition, new waveguides refine the high-frequency response. M-Audio’s FerroFlow technology uses ferrofluid liquid cooling to dissipate heat for maximum efficiency and extended usage.
