Main Features

• The PM-30 is a high-quality stereo monitor amplifier designed especially for use
with Roland's V-Drums.
This 2.1-channel system features a total output of 200 watts to provide a drum
sound with amazing presence.
• Main Unit features 12-inches (30-cm) woofer plus tweeter.
The wedge-shaped design makes monitoring easier and provides both a sense of
power along with great monitor performance.
Additionally, the PM-30 features switchable "SUBWOOFER" and "FULL
RANGE" playback modes (ranges), as well as a woofer control function that
allows you to balance the volume level with the satellite speakers.
• Each satellite speaker includes a high-quality 4-inches (10-cm) full-range speaker.
Featuring authentic wood cabinets, these units provide clear, natural stereo sound.
In addition, they come with specialized mounting stands, enabling the units to be
set up in a variety of ways.
• The system includes dedicated channels designed to reproduce all of the V-Drums
sound.
Along with superior basic performance, the V-Drums channels also provide great
additional features, such as a PUNCH switch, which produces an even more
powerful drum sound, and a V-Drums input, which enables connection to a V-
Drums sound module using only a single stereo (TRS) cable coming from the V-
Drums headphones output.
• The unit comes equipped with a three-channel stereo mixer function for superior
system expandability.
In addition to a V-Drums sound module, you can also connect and simultaneously
monitor multiple devices, such as additional sound modules and CD players, MP3
players, or any other external audio sources.
Also included is a three-band equalizer to further shape the sound and a LINE
OUT jack useful for expanding the system.
• Includes handle and casters for easy portability.
