Main Features

In Pursuit of High Sound Quality

The DS-50A powered monitor uses a two-way, bi-amplifier design to

achieve high sound quality.

The monitor features a 120-mm LF Driver and a 19-mm soft-dome HF

Driver as speakers. The amplification includes 30-watt and 20-watt

amplifiers designed to achieve high sound quality.

Digital Input

In addition to XLR and TRS phone analog input, the DS-50A is provided with digital input connectors

(coaxial and optical) that support 96 kHz sample rate and 24-bit digital audio.

Digitally input signals are reproduced faithfully through 24-bit D/A conversion, thus preventing noise

or a drop in sound quality.

You can use the monitors with a wide variety of equipment and applications through selective use of

the analog and digital settings.

Reproduction of a Variety of Speaker Sounds

(combination with the VS or VM)

By connecting the Roland V-Studio (VS series) or V-Mixer (VM series) to the DS-50A and using

Speaker Modeling Function of VS or VM, the DS-50A can reproduce the

sounds from a wide range of speakers, ranging from the professional

monitors from other manufacturers to the speaker in a small household

television set.

You can use the DS-50A in combination with the V-Studio or V-Mixer to

simulate the sound checks at mixdown, which conventionally have required

switching between multiple pairs of monitors set up to compare the sound.

* Please be aware that not all VS/VM series units are capable of providing
speaker modeling. Before making your purchase, you should confirm that
the unit you are considering does indeed provide the features you desire.
