M-Audio Studiophile CX-5 & Studiophile CX-8 Monitor Speakers [Studio Reference Monitors]

M-Audio, a division of Avid Technology, have unveiled two new Studiophile studio reference monitor speakers – namely the M-Audio Studiophile CX-5 and M-Audio Studiophile CX-8 – that, whilst offering high-end features, come in as somewhat less expensive than many of M-Audio’s studio monitors and so are ideally suited for those with somewhat more restricted budgets.

Featuring 1.25″ silk-dome high frequency drivers and either a 5″ or 8″ Kevlar long-excursion low frequency drivers with high damping rubber surrounds (CX-5 and CX-8 respectively), both monitor speakers sport ultra-solid 1″ front and rear MDF baffles and .75-inch MDF wraps, custom waveguides, seamless crossover integration and advanced Acoustic Space controls and offer frequency responses of 50Hz to 38KHz (CX-5) and 38Hz to 38KHz (CX-8).

No specific release dates on these yet, but M-Audio have confirmed that the Studiophile CX-5 will set you back just shy of $400 whilst the Studiophile CX-8 will come in just short of $500.
