The SBX is a high-quality subwoofer designed to deliver extremely low

frequ

ncies in conj nction with stereo pairs of studio reference monitors such

as the M-Audio

Studiophile BX8 or BX5. In fact, so many consumers have

subwoofers in their home and car entertainment systems that you’re not really

mixing accurately without having a sub yourself.

 

 

 

M-Audio’s engineers designed the SBX to meet professional q ality

performance standards and to provide superior value. Your SBX is constructed

using high-quality components such as the 8-inch mineral filled polypropylene

woofer cone. We use only selected grade components throughout the circuit

design, placing special emphasis on components within the audio path to

assure stable, consistent performance. We’ve built in a unique smooth-clipping

circuit to deliver

warm musical sound similar to a vacuum tube. This circuit

also provides overload protection for safe and high volume performance.

The SBX incorporates a unique Stereo Bass Management System. When

subwoofers are added to many systems, all frequencies are routed

both the

main monitors and the sub. The problem is that both the main monitors and

the sub are still trying to put out the same low frequencies, duplicating the

playback of some of the low frequencies and thereby compromising

monitoring accuracy.

 

 

 

Our Stereo Bass Management System solves that and delivers optimal fidelity.

The SBX’s internal crossover network splits the signal

at

user-defined

crossover frequency, routing everything below it to the

internal

sub and

everything above it to the main outputs. This significantly improves fidelity

because the sub and mains aren’t tripping over each other to reproduce the

same frequency—and each component only has to reproduce frequencies to

which it is ideally suited.

 

 

 

Your SBX also features auto-muting circuitry that automatically turns the

subwoofer on when it senses a program signal while turning it off to conserve

ower when no signal is present. Various controls also allow you to adjust

performance of the SBX in conjunction with the rest of your system. While the

SBX

easy to operate, we sugg st that you take few minutes to read the rest

subwooferthis manual in order to derive optimal audio quality from your new

. Enjoy!
