Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Studiophile Series BX8a bi-ampli?ed studio near-?eld monitor speakers. M-  English
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.
The BX8a 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  monitor  is  self-powered,  directly  accepting  a  line-level  signal  from  a  variety  of
sources.
The Studiophile BX8a 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 de?ned 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  sets  a  new
affordable standard in studio monitoring.

Studiophile BX8a 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 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. Needless to say, Kevlar represents a signi?cant
improvement over the polypropylene and paper used in most monitors at this price.
2. Tweeter
By employing a specially developed 1-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  ef?ciency  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
bene?t stereo imaging.
5. Network and Power Ampli?ers
The active crossover network and power ampli?ers for the BX8a 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 ampli?ers inside the BX8a
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.
Front and Rear Panel Features
Rear Panel Features
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)
<  XLR PIN 2 . . . . . signal positive (+)
<  XLR PIN 3 . . . . . signal negative (–)
2.   TRS INPUT: This jack accepts 1/4” connections with either balanced or unbalanced wiring. For
balanced wiring, a three-conductor TRS plug is necessary. The input wiring of a TRS connector
should be as follows:
<  TRS TIP . . . . . . . signal positive (+)
<  TRS RING . . . . . signal negative (–)
<  TRS SLEEVE . . . . signal ground (shield)
