The
Studiophile® CX5 near-field studio monitor extends M-Audio’s 20-year legacy
of engineering advanced music creation solutions. Designed by our dedicated
team of monitor engineers, the CX line combines proprietary driver designs,
custom waveguides, seamless crossover integration and advanced Acoustic
Space controls. The result is a best-in-class monitor series with excellent
off-axis response, minimal distortion, an expansive soundstage and the
flexibility to adapt to any production space. The Studiophile CX5 monitor
brings exceptionally accurate monitoring to any acoustic
environment—establishing a new benchmark in its category.
Class Act
Over the last 20
years, M-Audio has developed award-winning creative solutions and become an
established leader in multiple product categories, including studio monitor
technology. The company’s Los Angeles-based engineering team created the
innovative reference solutions that propelled M-Audio to become the
best-selling monitor manufacturer* in the United States—then applied its
extensive expertise to develop the CX series. The result is a line of
world-class reference monitors that reset performance expectations for their
class.
Image Conscious
Most
near-field monitors require close and specific placement to yield acceptable
stereo imaging. Years of research and work with waveguide design culminate in
the amazing continuity, breadth and depth of the Studiophile CX5
soundstage—even in challenging placement and listening conditions. Our custom
OptImage IV waveguide design improves overall detail and clarity. It also
controls the dispersion pattern of the mids and highs, offering a much wider
soundstage than traditional waveguides. As a result, the CX5 monitor delivers
an accurate, detailed representation of your mix with a remarkably broad sweet
spot.
Tailor the Speaker
to Your Room
Your listening
environment and speaker placement greatly impact the performance of your
monitors. To ensure effective monitoring in your unique production space, the
Studiophile CX5 monitor offers Acoustic Space controls for tailoring each
speaker to your room. Acoustic Space settings include -4dB, -2dB and Flat—and
the monitor also features LF Cutoff, MF Boost and HF Trim switches for
additional customization. These settings help to optimize frequency response
within even the most difficult acoustic environments.
Optimized
Frequency Response
The
finely tuned integration of acoustic and electronic design elements in the CX5
monitor delivers cohesive sound—from solid bass, to well-defined mids, to
smooth, transparent highs. Featuring a high-grade damping surround, the
premium, Kevlar, low-frequency driver maximizes excursion to provide a clear,
articulate low end with a bass impact you’d expect from a larger enclosure.
The silk-dome, high-frequency driver with oversized 1.25-inch voice coil
delivers an exceptional high-frequency response up to 30kHz.
Ample Headroom
The CX5 components are
designed to work together so that the entire system has superior headroom,
resulting in lower high-frequency distortion and reduced listener fatigue
compared to other monitors in its class. The bi-amplified design dedicates 50
watts for the lows and 40 watts for the highs. The low-frequency driver’s
venting and large voice coil provides both thermal and acoustic headroom. The
high-frequency driver features an optimized, sealed rear chamber for more
audible headroom (as well as lower frequency extension for greater mid-range
clarity) than similarly priced products. These factors also contribute to a
more uniform response at a variety of listening levels—allowing you to work
longer without fatiguing your speakers or your ears.
