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.
