M-Audio BX8 Deluxe D2 Next-Generation 130-Watt Bi-Amplified Studio Monitors
One Pair

The M-Audio® BX studio monitor series is trusted by more musicians and recording professionals than any other. Now, the BX8 D2 monitors extend the bestsellers’ legacy* with an elegant new design inside and out. We leveraged technology from our high-end monitors to extend the frequency response and provide an even more natural listening experience. Custom Class A/B analog amplifiers deliver superior dynamics and tonal accuracy across the frequency spectrum—while the latest-generation woven Kevlar low-frequency drivers and waveguide-loaded silk dome tweeters provide rich, defined sound. With the BX8 D2, you’ll enjoy the utmost accuracy in an engaging listening experience.

Accurate and Enjoyable
Whether you’re recording, mixing, or mastering, your monitors are your primary source of reference. Accurate monitors let you hear exactly what’s happening in your mixes—and give you the assurance that your music will translate well to other speakers. The M-Audio BX8 D2 monitors leverage a decade of monitor engineering expertise to deliver exceptional transparency and sonic definition—allowing you to enjoy marathon mixing sessions with minimal listening fatigue.

Advanced Driver Technology
The BX8 D2 monitors feature latest-generation woven Kevlar low-frequency drivers and waveguide-loaded silk dome
tweeters. The high-frequency driver is fully isolated from the rest of the enclosure to ensure minimum distortion, providing
ultra‑smooth frequency response up to 22 kHz. It also features a built-in waveguide, which offers an expansive sound stage
and exceptional imaging. Paired with an optimized rear port leveraged from our high-end monitors, the Kevlar low-frequency driver delivers extended, articulate bass response—in a compact footprint.

Bi-Amplified Efficiency
The Class A/B bi-amplified design dedicates separate power amps to the high and low frequencies—providing ample
headroom for even the loudest of mixes. Combined with a finely tuned crossover, the design ensures that each driver only delivers the frequencies that it can reproduce most efficiently, resulting in tonal accuracy and cohesive sound across the entire frequency spectrum.
