M-Audio BX3PAIR 3.5" Studio Monitor Pair

The M-Audio BX3PAIR is a 2.0 configuration speaker system comprising one active and one passive monitor. Designed for desktop audio work, it connects via wired RCA, 1/4" TRS, and 1/8" auxiliary inputs to computers, audio interfaces, tablets, smartphones, TVs, or DJ controllers. The system delivers a total of 120 watts of bi-amplified power through 3.5-inch Kevlar woofers and natural silk dome tweeters housed in acoustically-inert MDF cabinets with a bass reflex design.

Suited for desktop recording, streaming.

These monitors serve creators who need a wired, latency-free connection for music production, podcasting, live streaming, or critical listening at a workstation. The front-panel 1/8" headphone output allows silent monitoring sessions. Buyers requiring wireless Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity, surround sound configurations beyond stereo 2.0, or battery-powered portability should consider alternative speaker types that support those specific features.

120-watt bi-amplified power rating

The system provides 120 watts total power, with each satellite rated at 120 watts RMS, driving the 3.5-inch Kevlar low-frequency drivers and silk dome tweeters. This specification determines the available headroom and maximum output level for near-field monitoring in typical desktop environments. The frequency response reaches 22 KHz, covering the essential range for audio production and multimedia playback.

Questions about this item

What does the 1/4" TRS input on these monitors accept?

The 1/4" TRS inputs accept balanced line-level signals from audio interfaces, mixers or instruments, and the rear panel also provides 1/8" auxiliary and RCA stereo inputs for other sources.

What clearance do the rear-ported cabinets need?

Each speaker measures 8.19 in x 5.51 in x 5.71 in and weighs 4.43 kg; allow several centimetres behind the rear bass-reflex ports so the low-frequency tuning is not restricted.

Which speaker gets the IEC power cable and how are the pair linked?

Connect the supplied IEC cable to the active speaker only, then run the included 1/8" TS interconnect cable from the active speaker's output to the passive speaker's input to complete the stereo pair.
