M-AUDIO BX5 Single 5" Studio Monitor Speaker for Music Production and Mixing with Acoustic Space Control, 2 Way Active Speaker

I bought 2 of these when I was building a small home studio in my bedroom and these monitors are perfect. I like the fact that you can adjust the bass response and have volume control on the speakers. They're very easy to set up and are ready to go straight out of the box.

I use them as studio monitors for music production and recording. They sound great even without a Separate sub woofer. Plenty low end for my purposes. Clean sound, easy to set up and flexible connectivity.

Work well, great audio clarity. The manual tells you how to best set them up. Gives clarity for playing with sounds in a DAW. Also good general-purpose speaker IMO for anime like Hajimeno Ippo as well as intimate ASMR.

I’ve been mixing through M-Audio BX-5’s since 2009. They are very flat with no bass exaggeration. They have allowed me to consistently nail bass and kick EQ’s for well over a decade. They keep getting better every generation with this newest model being no exception. I absolutely trust them. They are very good looking and bring plenty of volume for any genre., the idea here isn’t to be mega loud but to be very accurate. BX-5’s aren’t the most powerful monitors and I seem to go through a set every 3 years or so. But for the price, who cares? I’m mixing stuff that blows away stuff that guys are mixing on speakers that cost thousands more

Sounds great, don't leave them on for too long without using them they will get hot, you don't want that.

Good quality

If you have one of those Utilitarian Entrepreneurial Studio/Offices like mine... You dabble in Podcast, Gaming, Video, Editing, Music... And in between is your ESCAPE ROOM... These Monitors are amazing. When I need to hear a flat signal to make sure my mix is right, they deliver. When I need power, quality bass they more than deliver. And I was totally amazed at the value for the money for a Pro-Level sound. Thanks for the amazing engineering at such a good price.

THIS IS NOT A PAIR OF SPEAKERS, BUT JUST ONE. This is the product description, notice how they state "these speakers" as if it were a pair. The M-Audio BX5 D3 is the latest addition to the M-Audio BX family and the most powerful model to date. Optimised for a smooth and natural listening experience, these speakers are perfect for professionals, beginners, and everyone in between. With BX5 D3 Experience sound quality you can trust and discover premium, accurate and defined sound reproduction. Custom Class A/B analogue amplifiers with 100W of distributed power deliver superior dynamics and tonal accuracy across the frequency spectrum—while the woven Kevlar low-frequency drivers and computer optimised waveguide-loaded silk dome tweeters provide rich, defined sound. Plus, adapt BX5 D3 to your listening environment thanks to an on-board Acoustic Space Control that tailors the sound-output accurately to your studio space for optimum results. Whether you’re seeing a pro-grade monitoring upgrade or a trusted reference monitor, with the BX5 D3, you’ll enjoy the utmost accuracy you demand coupled with a fatigue-free, engaging listening experience. Why on earth would anyone buy just one? Cannot really review this fully, since it is useless without a second unit. So now the choice is do I return them, and go with another brand that actually sells their studio monitors in pairs, or spend the money on another one.
