M-AUDIO - BX8 D3 - Enceinte active 2 voies 150W (unité)

Un moniteur de studio n’est pas une enceinte ordinaire. Contrairement à un haut-parleur conventionnel, une enceinte de studio doit se montrer extrêmement précise avec une réponse en fréquence plate et une distorsion faible car un producteur de musique doit pouvoir déceler la moindre imperfection dans ses enregistrements. Avec une enceinte de qualité studio, il n’est question ni de la coloration ni des limitations sonores propres aux enceintes de type hifi. Crête et creux dans la réponse, réponse polaire inégale, haut taux de distorsion harmonique, milieu médian nasal, bas-médium gonflé et autre incohérence de phase ne feraient que perturber la confiance nécessaire à un mixage de qualité.

L’excellence des transducteurs, un gage de performance.

Les haut-parleurs d'un moniteur sont le cœur et l'âme de ses performances. Le woofer 8 pouces en Kevlar, rigide et léger, qui délivre les moyennes et basses fréquences, offre une réponse transitoire exceptionnelle, supprimant ainsi la « rupture de cône ». De son côté, le tweeter à dôme en soie combine faible masse et absence des résonances audibles qui affectent les modèles conventionnels. Enfin, les transducteurs des BX8-D3 fournissent des détails cruciaux, des nuances et une précision dynamique indispensables à la réalisation de vos mixes, vous permettant dès lors de faire les bons choix avec une fatigue auditive minimale.

Plus qu’un simple coffrage.

Pour les BX8-D3 de M-Audio, chaque détail a été méticuleusement examiné dans le but de faciliter un mixage précis en toute confiance. L'évent arrière, spécifiquement développé pour ces écoutes, minimise les turbulences de l'air et la distorsion tout en offrant une réponse encore plus étendue dans les basses. Le tweeter des BX8-D3 est monté dans un guide d'onde original pour une dispersion fiable et précise qui élimine les hautes fréquences indésirables, tout en assurant une image sonore d’une ampleur exceptionnelle. Au moment du monitoring, il est essentiel d'être assis à la position centrale entre les deux haut-parleurs, le « sweet spot », à l'emplacement précis où l'image stéréo est optimisée. Les BX8-D3 disposent d'un témoin qui simplifie la localisation de ce sweet spot. Placez les moniteurs de façon à ce que ces témoins vous paraissent les plus lumineux possible : vous êtes alors dans la position d'écoute idéale. Enfin, le design singulier de la façade, en forme de trou de serrure, ne se résume pas à son aspect esthétique : cette conception spéciale, sans attache, garantit qu’aucune tête de vis de fixation n’interfère avec le son des haut-parleurs.

Une efficacité biamplifiée.

Le système de biamplification de classe A/B intègre deux amplis de puissance dédiés pour les hautes et basses fréquences et dispose d'une marge de sécurité plus que suffisante, même aux niveaux de mix les plus élevés. Combinée à un crossover réglé avec minutie, cette conception assure que chaque diffuseur délivre uniquement les fréquences pour lesquelles il se montre le plus efficace, d'où une précision du timbre et une cohérence du son sur l'ensemble du spectre.

Un son sur mesure.

Chez M-Audio, nous comprenons que deux espaces d'écoute ne sauraient être identiques. Par conséquent, le contrôle de proximité « Acoustic Space » vous offre la possibilité d’affiner le son du haut-parleur en fonction de l’environnement de mixage, de sorte qu’il déploie toujours une reproduction sonore réellement fidèle et rassurante.

Une connectivité exhaustive.

Quels que soient vos besoins, les enceintes de monitoring BX8-D3 s’intègreront très facilement à votre configuration existante. Grâce à leurs entrées symétriques XLR et TRS jack 6,35 mm situées à l'arrière, les enceintes BX8-D3 se connectent à pratiquement tous les équipements de studio, qu’il s’agisse de mélangeurs, d’interfaces ou d’équipements DJ par exemple.

Économique ne signifie pas dénué de qualités.

Les enceintes BX8-D3 de M-Audio excellent sur bien des points et marquent le retour en force de la marque en s’inscrivant dans la continuité de la BX8-D2, un modèle reconnu dans l’industrie. En combinant des haut-parleurs de qualité, des coffrages méticuleusement conçus, des amplificateurs de haut niveau, des options de commande polyvalentes et une connectique standardisée, les BX8-D3 certifient une qualité sonore remarquable et garantissent une précision chirurgicale absolue pour vous permettre des enregistrements toujours fiables.

M-AUDIO - BX8 D3 - 8" Powered Studio Reference Monitor (unit)

A studio monitor is no ordinary loudspeaker. Unlike a conventional speaker, a true monitor must be unerringly accurate, with a flat frequency response and vanishingly low distortion. It has to tell you, the music producer— dependably and unquestionably—exactly what is or is not in your recording. In a studio-grade monitor speaker, there is no place for the usual list of speaker colorations and limitations prevalent in conventional loudspeakers. Response peaks\dips, uneven polar response, high THD, nasal midrange, bloated mid-bass, and crossover-induced phase incoherence do nothing but undermine the confidence demanded for superior mix performance.

Introducing M-Audio’s BX8-D3 monitors—the return of a studio icon and the successor to the industry-renowned BX D2 monitors. Trusted by recording/mix engineers and composers globally, M-Audio’s BX monitors guarantee absolute surgical precision and repeatable engineering excellence.

Listen with confidence: with M-Audio’s BX8-D3 studio reference monitors, you’ll hear everything in lifelike detail, so your mixes and recordings will sound their best!

Monitor Performance Starts with Driver Excellence

A monitor’s drivers are the heart and soul of its performance. Driving the low-end and midrange, BX8-D3’s 8-inch military-grade Kevlar® woofers are rigid and lightweight, delivering outstanding transient response whist negating unwanted “cone breakup.” BX8- D3’s treated silk dome tweeter provides the perfect combination of low mass and the absence of audible resonances that plague conventional tweeters. Together, the BX drivers deliver critical detail, nuance and dynamic accuracy, so your mixes have the veracity and transparency you demand.

More Than Just an Enclosure

With M-Audio’s BX8-D3, every detail has been meticulously engineered with one goal in mind - to facilitate the freedom to mix with confidence. BX8-D3 monitors have a rear- mounted bass port, meticulously engineered to the exact length and diameter. The result? Deep, defined bass response with maximum bass extension and resolution. When combined with a smoothly-flared port, BX8-D3 monitors markedly reduce theaudibly-intrusive air turbulence that results when bass is played back at high sound pressure levels (SPLs). BX8-D3’s tweeter is mounted in a custom waveguide for reliably accurate dispersion that eliminates unwanted high-frequency “scatter,” whilst ensuring a soundstage that remains consistently wide and stable. For seamless setup and easy-location of the optimum listening position, the BX8-D3’s front-mounted positioning LED shines brightly when you’re located in the perfect listening spot, for uncompromisingly accurate and reliable critical evaluations. Finally, BX8-D3’s iconic design on the front panel—M-Audio’s famous “keyhole” shape—is more than just an attractive look: This special “fastenerless” design ensures so there are no driver attachment screw heads to interfere with the sound coming from our drivers.

High-Current, High Headroom Class A/B Bi-Amplified Power

Efficient and accurate: Driving the BX8-D3 monitors are two Class A/B internal amplifiers that power the woofer and tweeter separately - each optimised for the specific frequency range it handles and engineered to complement the characteristics of its companion driver. A precision-tuned crossover guarantees each driver only handles the frequencies that it produces most efficiently for a sound that is cohesive across the entire frequency spectrum. Play louder with less audible distortion: The BX8-D3 bi-amplified design is a far more efficient and accurate way to power a loudspeaker than using a single full-range amplifier to drive multiple driver elements.

Tailor-Made Sound

At M-Audio, we understand no two listening spaces are the same. Therefore, the BX8- D3 monitors custom tailors your sound to your environment, so you will always experience sonically-true, reassuringly-accurate sound reproduction. Negate problematic bass frequencies and limit the impact of nuisance standing waves thanks to BX8-D3’s special Acoustic Space control for precise adjustment of BX8-D3’s sound output in line with your studio space.

Connectivity Covered

Whatever your needs, the BX8-D3 Studio monitors guarantee to assimilate into your existing setup with ease. Combining conveniently-located, rear-mounted XLR and 1/4- inch balanced inputs, BX8-D3 connects to virtually all studio equipment including audio interfaces, mixers, DJ gear and more.

It’s Far More Than The Sum of Its Parts
