Compare M-AUDIO BX4 and BX3
Acoustic systems M-AUDIO BX4 and M-AUDIO BX3 have similar characteristics, but there are key differences. BX4 boasts a wider frequency range from 69 to 22000 Hz, whereas BX3 starts at 80 Hz. This may give BX4 an advantage in reproducing low frequencies. Additionally, BX4 has a larger woofer diameter of 114 mm compared to 89 mm for BX3, which could improve sound quality. Both devices have an active design and HF and LF adjustment, as well as the same power of 50 W. The choice between them depends on sound preferences and the space where they will be used.

Glossary
Overall frequency range
The total frequency range that the speaker is capable of reproducing. Specified from the bottom of the range in the lowest frequency component to the top of the range in the highest frequency: for example, in a 2.1 system with main speakers at 100 – 22000 Hz and a subwoofer at 20 – 150 Hz, the total value will be 20 – 22000 Hz.
The wider the frequency range — the fuller the reproduced sound, the lower the likelihood that some part of the low or high frequencies will be "cut off". It is worth noting here that the human ear perceives frequencies on average from 16 Hz to 22 kHz, and from a practical point of view, it makes no sense to provide a wider frequency range in speakers. However, quite a few models go beyond this range, sometimes quite significantly (for example, there are speakers with a range of about 10 – 50,000 Hz). Such characteristics are a kind of "side effect" of high-end acoustics, and they are usually given for advertising purposes.
Thus, the lower limit of the range in modern speakers can be within frequencies up to 20 Hz, however, higher values \u200b\u200bare more common — 30 – 40 Hz, 40 – 50 Hz, or even more than 70 Hz. In turn, the upper limit in most modern speakers lies in the range 19 – 22 kHz, although there are deviations both upwards (see above) and downwards....

Woofer size (LF/MF)
The diameter of the woofer or combined woofer/midrange speaker(s). The larger the speaker, the lower its operating frequencies and the more sound power it can provide. Therefore, you should pay special attention to this parameter if you want to get high-quality rich bass - especially if we are talking about an audio system without a subwoofer. More detailed information about speaker sizes can be found in special sources.
Weight
The total weight of all components of the speaker system.
