AlphaTheta Music Americas has announced the latest model in the range of desktop monitor systems from its Pioneer DJ brand: the 5-inch DM-50D. The new speaker system design inherits key features from the popular DM-40 desktop monitors while integrating new technology components and performance features to create an even more powerful, higher-quality sound. Sold in black or white pairs, the self-powered, DM-50D speakers are easy to configure and use – making the system ideal for playing DJ sets, making music at home, or jamming to playlists.
The DM-50D speakers couple a Class-D amplifier with a 5-inch woofer to deliver a balanced, punchy bass, while an advanced DECO convex diffuser design provides artists clear high frequencies. Artists looking to produce tracks for their next DJ set, can flick the speaker switch to change from Production mode to DJ mode, and the DSP settings will automatically adjust to create the best sound for each application.
Connecting and level controlling the system has been streamlined with an RCA, mini-jack, and new TRS input terminals for quick connection to DJ equipment or a home studio setup, and new front-facing volume knob and headphone mini plug. Artists looking to coordinate the system with their existing setup aesthetic can do so by choosing from black or white models.
