INTRODUCTION

This is Bronze BX, Monitor Audio’s most affordable speaker range. Blending the best of

its award-winning predecessors with advanced technologies from our up-market RX and

ﬂagship Platinum ranges, Bronze BX far exceeds the standards of performance and quality

you’d normally expect from an ‘entry level’ range.

By using ever more accurate computer simulations and introducing still more reﬁned

materials and structures, we’ve ﬁne-tuned our acclaimed Bronze Reference range to a new

industry high, developing its astonishingly precise and naturally dynamic sound to place

its successor, Bronze BX, on a level way beyond the capabilities of many more expensive

rivals.

In Bronze BX the beneﬁts of our ceaseless search for audio purity are dedicated to your

enjoyment of music and ﬁlm audio. And BX is engineered for stunning aesthetic results

as well. By harvesting greater accuracy and efﬁciency from comprehensive test and

measurement data, our in-house teams have created a beautiful union of breathtaking

ﬁdelity and slender lifestyle design that represents the truest spirit of Monitor Audio.

Paradoxically for an entry level range, Bronze BX is a class apart.

Resplendent in a stunning Natural Oak, Rosemah, Walnut or black oak vinyl furniture ﬁnish

and built with the accuracy that exempliﬁes the Monitor Audio brand world-wide, the seven

slender Bronze BX models will look gorgeous in any room. Their understated elegance

hides a sophisticated ergonomic design, which includes multi-chamber cabinet structures

to optimise driver performance, high quality connections for ease-of-use and perfect signal

transfer and discreet precision-machined footings for excellent stability.

POSITIONING

AV Positioning

In the following pages, there are illustrations showing optimal positioning and some

suggested room layouts for AV applications. For advice on conﬁguring a 2 channel system,

please refer to page 7.

The front, and in some cases rear, ﬂoor standing and stand mount speakers should be

positioned approx 6 - 9 feet apart (1.8m - 2.5m) and start with them about 10 inches

(25cm) from the wall.

When playing music, if the sound is too bass heavy or there is bass boom from the room,

then try moving the loudspeakers slightly further away from the wall(s). If this is not possible,

then try the supplied port bungs (not included in the BX-FX or BX Centre). Refer to Page

10.

The BX Centre should be positioned so that it is pointing at you, in your viewing position,

and at approximate ear height. If it is below or above ear height, use some rubber feet

(small feet supplied) to angle it slightly.

The BX-FX’s should be positioned in accordance with the below illustrations and approx 2

feet (60cm) above ear height when in your listening position.

NOTE: When using 2 pairs of BX-FX in a 7.1 system, you need to use the RIGHT

hand speaker for the rear surround left and the LEFT hand speaker for the rear

surround right. This is because of the tweeter phasing.

2 Channel Positioning

For use in a 2 channel system, the listening position and the loudspeakers should form an

equilateral triangle. The speakers should be positioned approximately 6 - 10 feet (1.8 - 3m)

apart. They ideally need to be between 8 - 18 inches (20 - 45cm) away from the rear and

3 feet (1m) from the side walls.

Experimentation is strongly advised when initially setting up your speakers, as environments

and personal preference differ with each installation. If there is not enough bass, for

example, then try moving your speakers closer to a wall. The opposite, if there is too much

bass. Also see the information on page 10 refering to Port Bungs. If you are loosing stereo

imaging, try ‘toeing’ them in slightly. The sound should appear to originate from the centre

point between the speakers, not the actual speakers themselves.

SETTING UP THE BX-FX

The Bronze BX-FX’s are paired, but speciﬁcally, right hand and left hand units. Of which

both can be conﬁgured to bi-pole (normal operation) or di-pole modes. The factory setting

is bi-pole.

In bi-pole mode, all speaker units (mid/bass unit and tweeters) are in phase. This feature is

designed for when the BX-FX is set up as a rear/surround speaker in a typical 5.1 channel

system, or alternatively in a 7.1 channel system without a second pair of BX-FX’s for rear/

surround duties.

In di-pole mode, the rear ﬁring tweeters are out of phase with the other tweeter and mid/

bass unit. It is best to implement this conﬁguration when using the two pairs BX-FX as part

of a 7.1 channel system, with the BX-FX’s taking up positions on the side and rear walls.

Please note that the BX-FX’s are left and right handed. This is not an issue when used in bi-

pole mode. It is essential that they are positioned correctly if used in a 7.1 channel system.

Please refer to the positioning section on page 6.

NOTE: Before changing your BX-FX’s from bi-pole mode to di-pole mode,

please ensure that the speaker wires are disconnected from your loudspeakers.

This helps to protect your ampliﬁer.

PLINTH FIXING

(BX5 & BX6 only)

The Bronze BX5 & BX6’s are provided with plinths to improve stability and acoustic response.

The plinths are secured in place by using the supplied bolts.

Before you ﬁt the plinth ensure the ﬂoor area is clear of any hard/sharp objects. To ﬁt the

plinth turn the cabinet over so that the bottom is facing upwards. Then, place the plinth

onto the cabinet ensuring the plinth is orientated correctly, lining up the bolt holes in the

plinth with the inserts in the cabinet. Using the bolts, secure the plinth to the cabinet.

Tighten them up gradually at ﬁrst and ensure the plinth is ﬁtted securely to the cabinet. Fit

the feet to the plinth before turning the loudspeaker back over. (Please read the instructions

opposite). The spikes are used to improve sound quality and bass performance

SPIKES AND FEET

The ﬂoorstanders from the Bronze BX Series come with spikes and separate rubber feet.

The spikes are to be used on carpeted ﬂoors and the rubber feet for use on hard ﬂoors

where spikes are not appropriate.

The spikes screw into the threaded inserts on the underside of the plinth. If you do not wish

to use the plinth, spikes can be ﬁxed directly into the bottom of the cabinet. Ensure there

are no trailing cables where the speakers will be sited.

NOTE: When used without the plinth the stability of the cabinet will be reduced

because the cabinet footprint will be reduced.

When used on hard ﬂoor, the rubber feet simply push into the same inserts that would

usually be occupied by the spikes.
