Overview

The M-Audio BX3 studio monitors pack serious audio performance into a desktop-friendly form factor. Each speaker pairs a 3.5-inch Kevlar low-frequency driver with a 1-inch natural silk dome tweeter, a combination that delivers tight, controlled bass and smooth, detailed highs. The computer-optimized tweeter waveguide ensures precise stereo imaging at close listening distances, making these monitors particularly well-suited for desktop setups where you're sitting directly in front of them. Acoustically inert MDF cabinets resist unwanted resonance, while rear-firing bass reflex ports extend the low-end response beyond what the compact driver size might suggest.

Connectivity is a strong suit of the BX3 pair. Rear-panel 1/4" TRS, 1/8" (3.5mm), and RCA inputs cover virtually any audio source — from audio interfaces and DJ controllers to turntables and gaming consoles — while the front-panel 1/8" aux input offers a quick plug-in point for phones, tablets, or laptops. A front-panel headphone connection adds private listening capability without any additional hardware. The rear-panel high and low EQ adjustments let you fine-tune the frequency response to compensate for room characteristics or personal preference. With 120 watts of total power driving the active/passive speaker pair, the BX3 set delivers enough volume and headroom for nearfield monitoring, casual listening, podcasting, and gaming without taking up significant desk space.
