BX8 Reference Monitors
Affordable and adaptable.

Extended information

The BX8s are the latest in the popular Studiophile series that delivers exceptional quality and professional sound at affordable prices. The BX8s offer 8-inch low-frequency drivers, 1-inch high-frequency drivers, and 130 watts of bi-amped near-field technology at a fraction of the cost of other monitors of this quality.

Monitors that adapt to your needs
Your monitors should be able to adapt to any changes in placement or work environment. That’s just what the BX8s do. Since a monitor’s bass response can change depending upon proximity to walls, the BX8s’ Acoustic Space control section allows you to optimize their performance—no matter whether you need to put them on stands, on a bookshelf or in the corners. You can also adjust the high-frequency response to compensate for reflective surfaces like glass. The presence control gives you an automatic mid-range boost for added flexibility. There’s even a variable low-frequency roll-off to optimize response at crossover points when adding a subwoofer like the Studiophile SP-8S.

The 1-inch natural silk high-frequency drivers employ a flush design and electronic time alignment with the low-frequency driver, resulting in controlled dispersion for superior three-dimensional imaging. The tooled rear Sub-Frequency Ports reduce low-frequency turbulence and optimize driver excursion for amazing bass in a small footprint.
