Kevlar LF drivers
 To
insure a lifetime of service, we constructed the
BX8a's 8” low-frequency driver from woven Kevlar—the
same material bulletproof vests are made from.
(Kevlar is typically reserved for more expensive
monitors.) Our engineers also created a curved
conical design that improves room dispersion.
High-damping rubber surrounds insure that the cone
reaches exactly its optimal excursion for accurate
reproduction. And our high-temperature voice coils
guarantee that your monitors will deliver full
performance no matter how many hours you use them.
Silk-dome HF drivers with
FerroFlow™
 Our
high-frequency domes are made from natural silk to
counter the ringing that is inherent in the stiffer
metallic materials common to other monitors.
M-Audio's FerroFlow™ technology uses ferrofluid
liquid cooling to dissipate heat for maximum
efficiency and extended usage.
Bi-amped efficiency
Active (powered) monitors allow designers to
optimize amplification for other components such as
speakers and cabinets. And by using two separate
power amps and a finely tuned crossover, the BX8a's
bi-amped design insures that both the high- and
low-frequency drivers are each sent only the
frequencies they reproduce most efficiently.
Rear-ported cabinet design
The BX8a's cabinet is integrally designed with
its other components for optimal performance—right
down to rounded corners for reduced edge diffraction
and superior imaging. Custom rear-port design
eliminates the turbulence and resulting distortion
caused when front ports project low frequency waves
in the same path as the speakers' direct signal. |
