Flexible positioning and customisable sound

The M-Audio BX3 is a set of compact active multimedia reference monitors featuring a bass-reflex design with a two-way configuration that combines a 1" silk dome tweeter and a 3.5" Kevlar woofer. As the smallest model in M-Audio's monitor range, they are well suited to space-conscious setups while still offering solid performance for a wide variety of near-field monitoring applications. Volume can be adjusted from the front panel, while dedicated bass and treble controls on the rear allow the sound to be tailored to different room environments. A speaker position switch makes setup straightforward, and because either speaker can be used on the left or right, cable routing can be kept as short and practical as possible. A 3.5mm stereo headphone output is also provided for convenient private listening.

Balance, frequency correction, and punch

The M-Audio BX3 speaker system provides stereo inputs in balanced 6.3mm jack socket and unbalanced RCA formats, while a 3.5mm stereo jack socket on the front panel offers an additional aux input. With a frequency response ranging from 80Hz to 22kHz, the M-Audio BX3 covers a wide audio spectrum and is well suited to compact near-field monitoring applications, including detailed high-frequency reproduction. Bass and treble can be adjusted manually, with each frequency range offering up to 6dB of boost or cut to help match the speakers to the listening environment. Delivering 2 x 25W RMS of output power, the monitors provide enough power for accurate near-field listening and a dynamic sound in smaller rooms.

Level up

The M-Audio BX3 monitors are a practical step up for anyone looking to move beyond the limitations of standard computer speakers and improve their monitoring setup with a more detailed and balanced sound. They are particularly well suited to home studios where users want accurate playback from their DAW while also needing a simple way to listen to audio from laptops, smartphones, tablets, and other devices without immediately adding a mixer to the system. The combination of dedicated monitor performance and flexible connectivity makes them a convenient choice for everyday music production, content creation, and multimedia use. Thanks to the additional aux input on the front of the main speaker, external sources can also be connected quickly and easily alongside the main studio setup, keeping the workflow straightforward and efficient.

About M-Audio

M-Audio is one of the best-known manufacturers of MIDI controllers, audio and MIDI interfaces, monitor boxes, and other studio equipment. Founded in 1988 under the name Midiman, the company quickly made a name for itself, always focusing on practical features and value for money. With the successful Oxygen series, M-Audio was instrumental in establishing the genre of MIDI controller keyboards for DAW-based studios. For a time, M-Audio was part of Digidesign / Avid. The brand is now part of the inMusic group and its success story continues to this day.

A versatile solution

The M-Audio BX3 monitors are suitable for a wide range of multimedia applications as well as music productions where the reproduction of low frequencies is not a primary requirement. When positioned correctly, they can also be used for live streaming without creating feedback issues, allowing users to work comfortably without relying on over-ear headphones or in-ear monitoring. Their clear and balanced sound also makes them a practical choice for recording and streaming podcasts. Beyond production tasks, the BX3 speakers are well suited to everyday listening, including music playback and film soundtracks. Thanks to their compact size and manageable design, they can also be integrated into mobile recording setups for bands and smaller production environments.

Good Multimedia Reference Monitors. And nothing more.

Good Multimedia Reference Monitors. And nothing more.
Why such an opinion. Someone tried to connect to the so-called Line-in, namely the Line-out of some device. No, with the connection of the Telephone Output, that is, the headphone output from the mobile phone, everything is in order. But with the Line-out connection, that is, an unregulated output from an audio device, such as a multimedia player, or an output from another audio device with a standard Line-out, there is a problem. About the parameters of Linear output, you can read at least in Wikipedia. So when connected to the Line-in M-Audio BX3, the sound at the minimum value of the volume potentiometer is very loud. One that is usually not listened to so loudly during audio or video editing. If you use a laptop as a sound source, then of course you can adjust the output volume. But, this will not be a Linear output, since the sound will depend on the equalizer settings, and the position of the Volume slider on the computer. But that's why the M-Audio BX3 are multimedia sound monitors. And by the way, the instructions do not mention any parameters of the Line-in and the headphone-out. Times are changing, 30-40 years ago, even little-known manufacturers of sound equipment could not afford this. As for the sound of the monitors, it's Great!

Sehr gute Multimedia-Lautsprecher für den täglichen Gebrauch
CinéMatica 07.03.2021
Die M-Audio BX3-Monitore wurden sehr schnell nach Belgien geliefert. Die Verpackung war noch besser. Eine Kiste, in einer Kiste, in einer Kiste. Beeindruckend! Viele können daraus lernen. Großartige Arbeit Thomann.

Ich habe einen Satz dieser kleineren M-Audio BX3-Lautsprecher auf einem älteren Mac Pro installiert, den ich für das Offline-Schneiden mit Avid Media Composer verwende. Für einen solchen Job sind sie perfekt. Nur um während der Bearbeitung eine Referenz aus dem Audio (Dialog, Musik, FX) zu erhalten, sind sie gut genug. Das Abspielen eines Musikstücks über sie, genau wie das Ansehen eines YouTube-Videos, klingt im Allgemeinen auch nicht schlecht.

Sie sind sehr gut und schön gemacht, wie wir es von M-Audio erwarten können. Der Knopf vorne und der Schalter hinten sind von hoher Qualität. Kein dünner Kunststoff, der nach einiger Zeit brechen wird.

Das Einrichten ist einfach und unkompliziert. Mit Ausnahme der 6,3-mm-Buchsenkabel sind alle anderen Anschlüsse im Lieferumfang enthalten. Ich benutze die 6,3 mm Eingänge, deshalb musste ich dafür separat ein Kabel kaufen. Übrigens, diese 6,3-mm-Klinkenanschlüsse bieten Ihnen den besten Klang Ihrer M-Audio BX3. Der Kauf eines guten 2x 6,3 mm Klinken- bis 1x 3,5 mm Miniklinkenkabels ist also eine Investition wert.

Im Allgemeinen sind sie also genau das, wofür sie beworben werden: Multimedia-Lautsprecher. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Wenn Sie sich diese Lautsprecher ansehen, wissen Sie, dass Sie nicht in der Lage sein werden, das neueste Album von U2, Rammstein oder einem anderen großen Musiker zu mischen. Dafür sind sie nicht gemacht. Sie sind keine Genelecs und für den niedrigen Preis müssen sie es auch nicht sein.

Alles in allem ein sehr gutes Paar Referenzmonitore für Computer oder Multimedia. Wenn Sie ein neues Set von Allround-Multimedia-Lautsprechern kaufen möchten, zweifeln Sie nicht daran und kaufen Sie sie einfach. Du wirst es nicht bereuen.
