Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Studiophile Series BX8a Deluxe bi-amplified studio near-field monitor   English
speakers. M-Audio is well known for digital audio interface technology, digital converters, audio
preamps and mixers. Now, after extensive research and development, M-Audio is proud to present the
Studiophile BX8a Deluxe.
The BX8a Deluxe 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 BX8a Deluxe monitor is self-powered, directly accepting a line-level
signal from a variety of sources.
The Studiophile BX8a Deluxe 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 Studiophile BX8a Deluxe sets a
new affordable standard in studio monitoring.

Studiophile BX8a Deluxe Features
1. Woofer
The woofer unit is 8 inches in diameter with a magnetically shielded Kevlar cone, high-temperature
voice coil and damped rubber surround. It is designed to deliver balanced mid and low-frequency
response. M-Audio’s new BX8a Deluxe employs Kevlar for low-frequency driver construction. The
same material used in bullet-proof vests, Kevlar’s high resilience makes it ideal for use in speaker
cones—although it is typically reserved for monitors with higher price tags than the BX8a Deluxe.
Needless to say, Kevlar represents a significant improvement over the polypropylene and paper used
in most monitors at this price.
2. Tweeter
By employing a specially developed 1-1/4 inch silk dome with magnetic shielding, the tweeter can
deliver distortion-free original sound and offer an extremely natural response. Its design minimizes
reaction time by using a specially shaped silk dome for excellent delivery, and also minimizes
resonance by adapting a unique internal damping technology.
3. Sub-Frequency Port
The air vent hole in the rear panel is called a Sub-Frequency Vent Port and is designed to allow the
discharge of extremely low frequencies occurring below 30Hz.

4. Enclosure
Like the other components, the BX8a’s enclosure has an important role in shaping the overall sonic
response. In order to provide more stable performance, the BX8a’s enclosure employs a special high
acoustic efficiency MDF and unique interior reinforcement designed to absorb vibration and impact
generated under extreme conditions. The custom design on the front panel will aid in diffraction and will
benefit stereo imaging.
5. Network and Power Amplifiers
The active crossover network and power amplifiers for the BX8a Deluxe are specially designed for
its woofer and tweeter. The network properly distributes low, mid, and high frequencies to the driver
components in order to reduce distortion and loss of sound, thus achieving a naturally balanced sound.
In order to generate powerful, ultra-crisp sound, there are two separate power amplifiers inside the BX8a
Deluxe for driving the woofer and tweeter separately in a high-end bi-amp structure. The power delivered
to the woofer driver at a low-rated distortion is 70W, and 60W is also delivered to the tweeter.
