Introduction

The BX6 Carbon was designed and tested by veteran audio engineers to meet your needs in a

studio monitoring environment. It is focused on the functional goal of delivering pure, original

sound without any additional coloration. The BX6 Carbon monitor is self-powered, directly

accepting a line-level signal from a variety of sources.

The BX6 Carbon is designed to overcome all the limitations of conventional studio reference

monitors within the digital audio environment. This system delivers a wide-range frequency

response by employing two extraordinary drivers and unique crossover technology licensed by

M-Audio. It boasts a stable and balanced low-mid frequency response along with a defined mid

and high frequency response as well. Both drivers are magnetically shielded for desktop music

production.

For pro engineers at commercial studios to home studio owners, the BX6 Carbon sets a new

affordable standard in studio monitoring.

Features

Rear Panel

1. XLR Input: This jack accepts XLR input connections

with either balanced or unbalanced wiring. The input

wiring of an XLR connector should be as follows:

• XLR Pin 1: signal ground (shield)

• XLR Pin 2: signal positive (+)

• XLR Pin 3: signal negative (–)

2. TRS Input: This jack accepts 1/4" connections with

either balanced or unbalanced wiring. For balanced

wiring, a three-conductor TRS plug is necessary.

The input wiring of a TRS connector should be as

follows:

• TRS Tip: signal positive (+)

• TRS Ring: signal negative (–)

• TRS Sleeve: signal ground (shield)

Unbalanced 1/4" wiring can be done with either a

two- or three-conductor (TS or TRS) plug. A two-

conductor (TS) plug automatically grounds the signal

negative input, whereas a three-conductor (TRS)

plug, wired unbalanced, provides the option of

leaving the negative input open or grounded.
