The popular BX studio monitor range gets the deluxe update treatment from M-Audio this month.
At the centre are the new waveguides and enhanced driver integration for extended high frequency response and refined sound. Both the BX5a and the BX8a utilizes Kevlar for the low-frequency drivers and natural silk for high-frequency drivers, also featuring waveguides and magnetic shielding. Both units are finished in a smart industrial black coating with a fine blue LED status indicator. In stores now.
