M-Audio BX D3 Range updated with new BX5 and BX8

June 5, 2017 By IDM Reports

M-Audio BX D3 Range updated with new BX5 and BX8Β Β 

The M-Audio BX D3 series of affordable studio monitors has just got a shot in the arm with the addition of two more loudspeakers added to the range.

These are the BX5 D3 and the BX8 D3 which are naturally 5 and 8 inch woofer models as denoted by the model name.

The new additions in the M-Audio BX D3 series sport Kevlar woofers and silk dome tweeters, a flared bass port, multiple connectivity options and are driven by bi-amps internally.

Said Director of Engineering, David Gill, had this to say about the new additions to the M-Audio BX D3 range;

β€œThese new BX-D3 monitors really raise the bar for acoustic performance, connectivity and their ability to adjust to any acoustic environment.

Β β€œIn order to achieve such a high level ofΒ performance, we painstakingly addressed every single aspect of monitor design, from the drivers to the amplifiers to the enclosures and the final voicing itself. We’re really proud of these and we’re looking forward to people using them and enjoying their benefits.”

Here are the specifications for the new M-Audio BX D3 additions. They should be available by spring time in South Africa and suggestions of retail price are:

BX5 D3 – $149 per speaker (R 2,499 each)

BX8 – D3 – $249 per speaker (R 3,995 each)

"I think when you really like something you have to be focused on it and give it the best you can. That is actually also my β€˜secret’: always take care of the smallest details and do not compromise on anything until you are totally happy with the result..." Some extremely wise words from Antinomy during his interview with ZoΓ« Fenner about 'State Of Mind' - his debut album, out now on Iboga Records!

I vowed to not live under another label again but it's not easy as a minority, but you can't guarantee protection even amougnst the very same people think you hold solidarity with. I just want to be label less - when you see me it is what it is πŸ’―

That time I was being dragged for transhobia after being attacked in the toilets , I really saw people in my industry & community throwing stones from the crowd thinking I wouldn't see their hands in the chaos. I saw & felt everything performative in queer solidarity culture
