Give Your Studio the Digital Edge
Whether recording with a stand-alone workstation or a computer-based system, your mixes are sure to benefit from owning a pair of digital reference monitors like the DS-30As. In fact, they’re so affordable, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be listening to your mixes the way they were meant to be heard: in pure 24-bit/96kHz quality without the line-loss or hum of analog cables.
30 Watts of Bi-Amplified Power
While compact in size, the DS-30As still sound impressive thanks to a 30-watt bi-amped design. Roland’s custom crossover circuitry distributes 20 watts to a 5” polypropylene woofer and 10 watts to a 1” soft dome tweeter. The result is super-flat response with minimal phase shift and distortion. There’s never been a better time to step up to digital monitoring.
