BX8a User Guide
Studiophile BX8a Introduction Thank you for choosing the Studiophile Series BX8a bi-amplified studio near-field monitor speakers. MAudio 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 BX8a. The BX8a was designed and tested by veteran audio engineers to meet your needs in a studio monitoring environment.
4. Enclosure Like the other components, the BX8a’s enclosure has an important role in shaping the overall sonic response. In order to provide more stable performance, the BX8a’s enclosure employs a special high acoustic efficiency MDF and unique interior reinforcement designed to absorb vibration and impact generated under extreme conditions. The custom design on the front panel will aid in diffraction and will benefit stereo imaging. 5.
Unbalanced 1/4” wiring can be done with either a two- or three-conductor (TS or TRS) plug. A two-conductor (TS) plug automatically grounds the signal negative input, whereas a three-conductor (TRS) plug, wired unbalanced, provides the option of leaving the negative input open or grounded. We recommend that you ground the unused negative input (this can be done by wiring the ring and sleeve of the TRS plug together).
Installation For optimal performance of the BX8a, please read the following thoroughly and carefully prior to installation. Precautions Handling: Please do not touch the speaker cones. The BX8a set is packaged in the box tightly, so your attention is required when taking the monitors out of the box. To avoid possible damage to the speaker units, hold both sides of the monitor in order to pull it out of the box.
Connecting to Preamp or Computer Outputs Before connecting, make sure the output device’s power has been turned off. Plug the XLR balanced, TRS balanced or TS unbalanced cable to the corresponding output connectors of a pre-amplifier, computer or game console. Placing the BX8a Placing the speakers is one of the most important procedures in order to monitor sound accurately.
