Main Features

In Pursuit of High Sound Quality
The DS-30A powered monitor uses a two-way, bi-amplifier
design to achieve high sound quality.
The monitor features a 120-mm LF Driver and a 25-mm
soft-dome HF Driver as speakers. The amplification
includes 20-watt and 10-watt amplifiers designed to
achieve high sound quality.
Analog Input
In addition to an XLR connector, which provides for
balanced input, a 1/4" TRS phone jack accommodating either balanced or unbalanced input
is also provided. This assures broad-ranging connectivity.
Digital Input
The DS-30A 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.
Magnetically Shielded Low- and High-Frequency Drivers
This allows you to use the speakers next to CRT displays.
