Features
• The PM-3 personal monitor system is perfect for electronic percussion set-ups such as V-Drums,

• When set up as Roland advises, the woofer unit and two speakers provide a three-dimensional
depth and sound, creating an ambience similar to when playing acoustic drums.
• The woofer unit features an "Active Dual-Drive" system, consisting of two speakers producing a
powerful "low end."
• MIX INPUT, LINE OUTPUT and MAIN INPUT jacks are provided to expand the possibilities
(practice/monitoring/live performance etc.)
