![]() ![]() Dynaudio BM5A @ Musiciansfriend ![]() Dynaudio BM5A @ Zzounds Dynaudio BM5A Description The high-performance Dynaudio BM5A Powered Studio Monitor comes in a very compact design and it is extremely well-suited for production environments where space is a concern. The BM5A is well-suited for music monitoring and mixing, broadcasting, OB vans, edit suites, playback suites, project studios, and smaller post-production facilities. |

| Quality: 9 Obviously I treat all my monitors carefully, so I am not too sure if it will break easily. It all seems to be very well made though. Solid. The sound is amazing for its price. It's the cheapest Dynaudio on the market, but that doesn't mean it's a budget rip off. It's a full Dynaudio with matching sound quality. Obviously big studios will opt for a larger size, for a bit more low end and possibly volume, but this is good enough for nearly anyone. Its bigger brother, the BM6A, is around 400 bucks more expensive and likely won't justify the extra money for most folks. In fact, if you are in a small studio or even your own home, the extra size of the BM6A can be a burden. The BM5A can already be very loud if need be. The BM5A is very detailed and pleasing to the ear. I do not find it to be tiring to my ears, even after 10 hours straight. I think the Dynaudio BM5A is one of the 'cheapest' professional quality monitors on the market. Its most obvious competition would be the Genelec 8030 (around 900 bucks). I prefer the Dynaudio because it's less tiring on my ears and I think it's less aggressive. Reliability: 7 From previous experiences I can say that Dynaudio has a good support. But fortunately no problems with the BM5A. Overall Rating: 8 I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that is serious about producing/mixing. I wouldn't recommend this to 'beginners', but that's mostly due to the relatively large pricetag. If you have the money, go out and listen to a set of BM5As and see/listen for yourself .

These things are great. One of my happiest gear purchases ever. True about the sweet spot. They are a bit finnicky with respect to placement. There's not much "bloom effect" either: they sound the same quiet as loud which is mega-important for getting consistent results. The switches on the back actually do something!
