Silk HF Domes. 130 watts. 130-watt Bi-amplified Studio Reference Monitors If you're looking for more powerful monitors for desktop systems, the magnetic shielding of the M-Audio BX8a active monitors makes them excellent for use near computers and other signal generating equipment. M-Audio Studiophile BX8a at a Glance: Two-way, 130-watt, magnetically shielded studio reference monitors. 8" Kevlar low-frequency drivers. 1" natural silk high-frequency drivers. Bi-amplified, integrated cabinet design. Meet the New BX8a Over the years, Studiophile reference monitors have earned a great reputation with recording professionals around the world. The BX8a updates the critically acclaimed BX8 nearfields. Topping the improvements list are 8" curved Kevlar low-frequency drivers - a technology usually reserved for monitors bearing a higher price tag. Of course, they're coupled with M-Audio's time-proven high-temperature voice coils and damped rubber surrounds for durability and fidelity. Magnetically shielded 1" natural silk domes give the BX8s a high-end that's both clear and easy on the ears. Custom-tuned crossovers distribute 130 Watts of bi-amplified power for optimal frequency handling by each driver. Hear for yourself why Studiophiles have become "standard issue" reference monitors. Kevlar LF Drivers To insure a lifetime of service, M-Audio constructed the BX8a's 8" low-frequency driver from woven Kevlar-the same material bulletproof vests are made from. (Kevlar is typically reserved for more expensive monitors.) M-Audio engineers also created a curved conical design that improves room dispersion. High-damping rubber surrounds insure that the cone reaches exactly its optimal excursion for accurate reproduction. And the BX8a's high-temperature voice coils guarantee that your monitors will deliver full performance no matter how many hours you use them. Silk-dome HF Drivers with FerroFlow™ The M-Audio BX8a's high-frequency domes are made from natural silk to counter the ringing that is inherent in the stiffer metallic materials common to other monitors. M-Audio's FerroFlow™ technology uses ferrofluid liquid cooling to dissipate heat for maximum efficiency and extended usage. Bi-amped Efficiency Active (powered) monitors allow designers to optimize amplification for other components such as speakers and cabinets. And by using two separate power amps and a finely tuned crossover, the BX8a's bi-amped design insures that both the high- and low-frequency drivers are each sent only the frequencies they reproduce most efficiently. Rear-ported cabinet design The BX8a's cabinet is integrally designed with its other components for optimal performance-right down to rounded corners for reduced edge diffraction and superior imaging. Custom rear-port design eliminates the turbulence and resulting distortion caused when front ports project low frequency waves in the same path as the speakers' direct signal.
