M-Audio BX6 Carbon - User Manual

User Guide (English)
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.
