Introduction
The BX8 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 BX8 Carbon monitor is self-powered, directly
accepting a line-level signal from a variety of sources.
The BX8 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 BX8 Carbon sets a new
affordable standard in studio monitoring.
