Overview:
Drivers
A magnetically-shielded 5" military-grade Kevlar woofer provides durability and detailed transient response whilst negating unwanted "cone breakup." It has a high-temperature voice coil and damped rubber surround. The magnetically-shielded 1" silk dome tweeter delivers high frequencies up to 35 kHz with minimal resonance.
Enclosure
The rear-mounted bass port yields extended bass response while reducing audible air turbulence that can occur at high sound pressure levels. The tweeter sits in a custom waveguide designed to lessen scatter and yield a wide sweet spot. The process of aligning the monitor's position is simplified, due to the front-mounted LED, which shines brightly when you're located at the ideal angle.
Amplifiers
The BX5 D3 has two Class A/B amplifiers, a 60W low-frequency amp and a 40W high-frequency amp. A crossover at 2.5 kHz ensures that the correct frequencies are fed to each driver.
Controls
In addition to adjustable volume, there is a low-frequency "Acoustic Space" control. Based upon the sound of your room, you may wish to tweak the bass response to achieve a certain frequency balance.
Connectivity
The BX5 D3 can accept a balanced line-level input at its XLR 3-pin connector. Route balanced or unbalanced signals into the monitor via the 1/4" TRS jack.
