The monitors arrived in an enormous, very heavy box (usually a good sign with speakers). In the box was the power cables, speakers and a thin set of isolating foam pads for the base of each speaker, if you want to use them. No XLR cables were included.

When making dance music, a problem I often encounter is that poorer quality speakers can struggle with bass and become very distorted. These have very accurate sound, and I have had them close to full volume and didn't have any trouble with distortion at all. I work in a small room and liked the feature to reduce the bass for small work environments (a switch on the back of the speaker).

Good entry-level monitors. Хорошие монитор&#
Vasiliy Poptsov (MERTI) 20.06.2022
I purchased M-Audio BX8 D3 monitors because of their low cost and good appearance for working in a home studio. The store's service was very pleased, the consultants are responsive and pleasant to communicate with. Monitors sound decent for their price category, in a poorly prepared acoustic room, higher-level monitors are an extra waste of money. After a couple of months of using the monitors, I faced the problem of a crackling in one of the low-frequency speakers, the reason was in the not fully inserted terminal inside the monitor, it was not difficult to fix, but an unpleasant residue remained. In general, I liked the monitors, they sound pretty clean without large spectral distortions.
Приобрел мониторы M-Audio BX8 D3 из за их невысокой стоимости и хорошего внешнего вида для работы в домашней студии. Сервис магазина очень порадовал, консультанты отзывчивые и приятные в общении. Мониторы звучат достойно для своей ценовой категории, в плохо подготовленную акустическую комнату мониторы более высокого уровня это лишняя трата денег. Через пару месяцев использования мониторов столкнулся с проблемой треска в одном из низкочастотных динамиков, причиной оказалась в не до конца вставленном клемнике внутри монитора исправить было не сложно но неприятный осадок остался. В целом мониторы понравились звучат довольно чисто без больших спектральных перекосов.

Good value for the money, but...
the-other-operation 15.10.2017
Solidly built. There are compromises however to achieve this price point. Firstly, there is a noticeable mains hum. It's not bad enough to make them unusable but its a lot more noticeable than, say, the Dynaudio BM15 actives I use in the studio.

Secondly, the input is very sensitive (probably about -10dB) and not calibrated to any particular standard, which is inconvenient when connecting them to pro equipment.

Thirdly, the level knob on the rear is vague. It took a lot of fiddling with them to get a mono signal into the centre.

Sound-wise, time will tell - once they're run in a bit I'll have a better idea but my initial impression is good.

(Also, the UK mains leads Thomann shipped with them were very short - barely reaching past the bottom of the stands!)

Great speakers.
Igorro 04.12.2019
Combine M-Audios with IK ARC room correction system to get very precise studio monitors. In untreated studio room, mixing for panorama and depth using room simulations becomes very easy. Also mixing bass guitar with kick drum combining 40-60 Hz with 80-120 Hz is a piece of cake. Presence region for vocals, guitars and snare is also very clean.
Without IRC system in an untreated room these guys are quite bassy, so the bundle is a way to go.
Really good choice for the buck.

BIG suprice !
Yngve66 01.12.2022
As an old man that has been a sound nerd all my life, i bought these studio monitors as a momentary budget choice, thinking i can upgrade later when i can afford some higher end ones.
But man was i wrong, thinking these would disappoint me. Out of the box not played in, listening to Tidal on high end output, these monitors are sweet sounding. I can't put my finger on any flaws, not at this price.
I have passive monitors in my living room that are better. But they have a price many times higher, being hooked up to big heavy amps and other gear at high price.
These cheap studio monitors plays nice out of the box. So in a few weeks i know they will be even better.
They are build heavy and at a quality that makes me wonder how they managed to produce these so low priced.
To budget buyers, these are a very good way to go, if you want quality sound for nearly no money.

Very good sound
Adam Wise 13.09.2019
The sound output is amazing, powerful and clear, and with the 300 Watts combined, I can cover even a small venue if I want.

Only thing that I wish they had was standby mode, so that I don't need to physically turn them off when not used or overnight. Also, the manual doesn't explain how to select the Accoustic Space LF cut.

First monitors
wttosor 18.03.2021
Well, what I can tell always wanna get quality sound at home. I don't need huge but plastic shell and M-Audio. Now it pass more than year I got them, awesome sound and quality for that price. Use them every day and get feel so good. Use them with Yamaha AG06 and other instruments. Cubase records sound like what you did some seconds ago as for guitar, bass as for midi. Think best choice for guys wanna try to start create music it'll not disappoint you!

Very good value
jdubz 03.12.2020
I have this for use with Hauptwerk (Virtual Pipe Organ). It seems very good for this. Good bass response (providing good pedal notes down to around the lowest E note at 16ft pitch. And for reed stops these fundamental frequencies do not matter so much.
However, there is some audible mains hum which means I would not want to use it as a near-field monitor. This is not as pronounced as on the BX5 D3 but it is there. On the whole it is good value, but it depends on your application.

Great monitor
0xfade 08.12.2022
I have a pair connected with RCA-XLR cables to a Vestax pmc 05 pro III with two 1210 mk2. They sound amazing and fill the room with ease. They are build like tanks and the highs, mids and lows are very clear.

There is a very slight mains hum even when no audio cables are connected but this is to be expected from powered monitors. You can not hear it at all if you stand 30cm away and you definitely cannot hear it during playback.

The position adjusting LEDs really work! I am very pleased overall!
