Adapts to your studio environment

The back of the monitors feature a balanced XLR input, a balanced TRS input and an unbalanced RCA. They have a robust power switch, a rotary level dial, high-frequency filter with three parameters—+2dB, -2dB and neutral 0—and low-frequency filter with three parameters—+3dB, -3dB and neutral 0. These features allow you to tune your speakers to your room for optimal playback monitoring when mixing and producing so you’re assured the best sound possible. MX5 monitors deliver 70 watts of high-efficiency, low-distortion, Class-A/B amplification with 42Hz–22kHz frequency response.

Superior Speaker Science

The front of the monitors feature acoustically engineered 5″ low-frequency drivers that offer superior damping. This minimizes any sonic artifacts and unnatural resonance to ensure a clean, natural sound for referencing your mixes. It has a four-layer voice coil which provides greater motor force for outstanding low-frequency performance. The 1″ silk-dome high-frequency tweeter features a powerful neodymium magnet for a smooth and natural high-frequency response.

Outstanding performance

 

The MX Black Series monitors are designed to provide optimal frequency dispersion even when listening off-axis. This means they’ll sound great in imperfect acoustic environments, like most home and project studios. The bi-amplified Class-A/B design ensures superior transient response and a natural bass presence.
