Audio engineers, musicians, and music producers in search of a pair of quality studio monitors with Bluetooth should check out the M-Audio BX3BT, a pair of 2-way, studio monitors designed to offer a wide frequency response and easy configuration for producers, podcast creators, mixing engineers, and others who require a critical ear. The BX4BT features an integrated Bluetooth receiver, allowing you to play audio from any Bluetooth device including a turntable, phone, or even a computer to stream a reference mix.

The monitor produces a frequency response of 80 Hz to 22 kHz, thanks to two amplifiers feeding a 3.5” Kevlar woofer and 1” silk-dome tweeter. A rear-mounted bass port delivers extended bass response, while the tweeter’s computer-engineered waveguide yields a wide sweet spot and minimized high-frequency scatter. Volume and high- and low-frequency controls are provided, so you can tune the monitor to cooperate with the sound of the room. The monitors have 3.5mm, RCA, and balanced 1/4" jacks, so you have your choice of what kind of device you input into the speakers.
