M-Audio BX8 Carbon Active Monitor at a Glance:
  • Ultra-strong Kevlar woofer
  • Bi-amplified monitors for more accurate listening
  • Ideal for project studios
Ultra-strong Kevlar woofer

M-Audio's BX8 Carbon monitor features M-Audio's latest generation of woven kevlar woofers. Kevlar is more rigid and lighter than comparable paper cones could ever hope to be. That means tighter bass and more accurate mids for monitoring in your studio. The BX8 Carbon's Acoustic Space Control lets you tailor the low end response for your studio or listening space.

Bi-amplified monitors for more accurate listening

The M-Audio BX8 Carbon monitor sports 130 watts of power supplied by a redesigned M-Audio's amplifier. The new amp uses a Class A/B design for maximum efficiency while providing highly dynamic playback. You get 70 watts to the woofer and 60 watts to the tweeter. An enhanced tweeter waveguide gives the BX8 Carbon better imaging and a superior frequency response curve. This gives you more accurate playback for critical listening and mixing situations.

Ideal for project studios

If you work in a smaller studio space, you don't have much room for big monitors. The M-Audio BX8 Carbon monitor has a small footprint so it's easy to position it where you need it. But don't let its small size fool you - the BX8 Carbon monitor makes sure you have plenty of low-end to mix with. Take it from the Sweetwater crew - M-Audio BX8 Carbon monitor will give you years of great performance.

  • Accurate monitoring in a compact size at a great price
