Introduction
The BX5 Carbon was designed and tested by veteran audio engineers to meet your needs in a studio
monitoring environment. It is focused on the functional goal of delivering pure, original sound without
any additional  coloration. The BX5 Carbon monitor  is  self-powered,  directly accepting a  line-level
signal from a variety of sources.
The BX5 Carbon is designed to overcome all the limitations of conventional studio reference monitors
within the digital audio  environment. This  system delivers  a wide-range frequency  response  by
employing two extraordinary drivers and unique crossover technology licensed by M-Audio. It boasts
a stable  and balanced low-mid frequency response along with a  defined mid  and high  frequency
response as well. Both drivers are magnetically shielded for desktop music production.
For pro  engineers at commercial  studios to  home  studio owners, the BX5 Carbon sets  a  new
affordable standard in studio monitoring.

Features
Rear Panel
1.   XLR Input: This jack accepts XLR input connections with
either balanced or unbalanced wiring. The input wiring of
an XLR connector should be as follows:
•  XLR Pin 1: signal ground (shield)               3
•  XLR Pin 2: signal positive (+)
2
•  XLR Pin 3: signal negative (–)
2.   TRS Input: This jack accepts 1/4" connections with either
1
balanced or  unbalanced wiring. For balanced  wiring,  a   4  5
three-conductor TRS plug is necessary. The input wiring
of a TRS connector should be as follows:                    6
•  TRS Tip: signal positive (+)
•  TRS Ring: signal negative (–)
7
•  TRS Sleeve: signal ground (shield)
Unbalanced 1/4" wiring can be done with either a two- or   8
three-conductor (TS or TRS) plug. A two-conductor (TS)   9
plug automatically grounds  the signal negative input,
whereas  a  three-conductor  (TRS)  plug,  wired
unbalanced, provides the  option of leaving the  negative input open or grounded. We
recommend that you ground the unused negative input (this can be done by wiring the ring
and sleeve of the TRS plug together). The TRS input is summed through a balanced input
amplifier with the XLR input, allowing both inputs to be used simultaneously. Input
specifications apply to both.

3.   Sub-Frequency Vent Port:  This port aids in  reproduction of  very low frequencies by
discharging frequencies  below  60 Hz and to  act as a cooling mechanism to  prevent
overheating. This port should not be blocked.
4.   Acoustic Space Switch: Your BX5 monitors should ideally be placed at least one foot
away from the nearest wall, ceiling, or other large, flat surface. In the real world, this may
be impractical due to space limitations within your studio. For that reason, BX5 monitors
feature an acoustic space switch. This switch compensates for placement near walls.
Tip: Be sure to leave at least 3" of space between the rear of the speaker and a wall to
allow the rear-firing port to "breathe" properly. Placing the speaker any closer than 3" may
adversely affect low-frequency response.
5.   Volume Control: Use the volume control to set the output sound pressure from the BX5
Carbon to proper levels as required.
6.   Power Switch: This switch turns the monitor on and off.
7.   Power Receptacle: Accepts a detachable 3-circuit line cord in order to power the monitor.
8.   Fuse Holder: Holds the external main fuse.
9.   Voltage-Select Switch: Provides two selections, 115V AC and 230V AC, and should be
set to match the "house supply" (receptacle) voltage of the country or location in which the
speaker is used. The 115V setting is correct for the USA, while the 230V setting is correct
for most of the UK and Europe.
Front Panel
The front  panel houses the Power LED, which
indicates whether the speakers (amplifier) power is   BX5
on or off.
