Recently I was the extremely lucky and fortunate winner of a pair of BM5A MKII monitors from the good folks at Dynaudio Acoustics.  Most people I know in the music business are familiar with Dynaudio studio monitors and they are very highly esteemed in the professional side of the industry, and for good reason.  Aside from being a pretty stylish addition to my studio, I am continually amazed by the pristine clarity and accuracy in which they pump my work back into my ears.

There’s plenty of places to read all about the specs and technical info  in greater detail, so I’ll leave that part to google and just focus more on my literal thoughts about this product.  I’ve been a musician most of my life and composed/produced music professionally for the past 5 years.  I worked as an software/keyboard/recording associate at a music retail store for two years.  We had a room full of monitors that ranged from $100/pair to about $2000/pair.  And you could do A/B comparisons on any of them.   In all truth, the BM5A’s were the most accurate.

It’s fair to say that I’m a bit more of a composer than an engineer, but solid production is a prerequisite to success in the music field these days,  and I truly believe that the quality of my mixes has gone way up since the MKII’s retired my former monitors.  I’m so thrilled by the positive impact that these have had on my music that if hypothetically I had to return these gifts or else pay the full retail price, I’d do the latter.  They’re well worth it.  There’s a saying in the music production business that goes “You’re only as good as the weakest component in your signal chain.”  Thanks to Dynaudio, I know my weakest link is not my speakers.   These guys have my highest recommendation.  Thanks again, Dynaudio! You rock!
