How to Hook a Subwoofer to M-Audio BX5A
The M-Audio Studiophile BX5a monitor system is designed for recording and studio artists to receive audio feedback on sound bites, song sections or entire songs. The two-monitor setup works best in small rooms, with both speakers pointed toward a central point, usually occupied by the listener. These monitors play high frequencies through their tweeters and low subwoofer frequencies through their Kevlar-reinforced main speaker cones. They are compatible with microphones, subwoofers and any other XLR or RCA source.
