Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Studiophile Series BX5a Deluxe bi-amplified studio near-field monitor
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 BX5a Deluxe.
The BX5a 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 BX5a Deluxe monitor is self-powered, directly accepting a line-level
signal from a variety of sources.
The Studiophile BX5a 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 BX5a Deluxe sets a
new affordable standard in studio monitoring.

Studiophile BX5a Deluxe Features
1. Woofer
The woofer unit is 5 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 BX5a 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 BX5a 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-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 60Hz.
