The BM 5A Compact is an extremely small yet very powerful speaker for post and broadcast production.

Dynaudio Acoustics have gone to great length to ensure massive power and superior sound quality in combination with serious space restrictions, and novel research have made it possible to fit loads of power and quality into a very minute cabinet, defeating what was previously deemed impossible.

That effort now gives audio professionals an extremely compact nearfield monitor with uncompromising acoustic qualities, and fills an important gap in the broadcast and post production industry, where space often is the determining factor for installations.
The BM 5A Compact is a great solution for the space problems that remote broadcast trucks/OB Vans and tight editing bays have to deal with.

BM 5A Compact is an active two-way nearfield monitor that provides a solution for uncompromising quality in very small spaces. The renowned Dynaudio Acoustics sound has been preserved and fine tuned, and this monitor perfectly embodies and strengthens the celebrated craftsmanship and innovation of the BM series.

Through considerable research and development, Dynaudio Acoustics has managed to equip the petite cabinet of the BM 5A Compact with woofers and tweeters of the same high-quality as in the BM 5A active monitor, which is two times the size of the BM 5A Compact. Two 50-watts amps, operating within a frequency response of 55 Hz - 21 kHz, has been fitted into a cabinet that is as small as (w x h x d) 170 x 260 x 235 mm / 6.7” x 10.2” x 9.3”.
