General
M-Audio's BX series has been quite a success story, and now offers a third generation: the BX Carbon series. The BX Carbon series consists of three studio monitors, with woofers ranging from 5 to 8 inches. The BX5 Carbon is the smallest model and is equipped with a 5-inch woofer and a soft-dome tweeter.
Characteristics of the BX5 Carbon
The BX Carbon series has been modelled after the BX and BX D2 series, but M-Audio has provided the Carbon speakers with an upgrade. The monitors still offer a great price/quality ratio and remain an excellent choice for home studios. The BX5 Carbon has been equipped with a Kevlar-reinforced woofer cone, which allows for tight and defined audio reproduction. The redesigned front panel has a silver-grey finish that gives the monitor a fresher overall look than its predecessors, and the waveguide dispersion has been improved, resulting in an expanded sweet spot.
Connectors and acoustics
Like all M-Audio BX monitors, the BX5 Carbon is fitted with a selection of balanced and unbalanced inputs, as well as volume control and a bass reflex port at the rear. A new feature is the Acoustic Space Control functionality, which enables you to adjust the sound characteristics of the speaker to the acoustics of its surroundings. As the positioning of a studio monitor is just as important as the acoustics of the room, the waveguide has been equipped with an LED - once it lights up brightly, you'll know the monitor has been efficiently placed.
