Accurate Monitoring For A True Mix
..........................................................................
Each of the DS-Series monitors exhibit excellent stereo imaging
and a consistent "flat" frequency response in near-field listening
environments. The 24-bit (up to) 192 kHz digital specification
produces a smooth response that decreases the chance of ear
fatigue during extended critical-listening sessions. The result is a
rich sound field with desirable spatial characteristic.

Perfect Partners
..........................................................................
There are three DS-Series models, each designed to fit into a
variety of recording environments, from project to professional
studios. The DS-5 is a 45-watt, 5-inch two-way system; the DS-7
is a 60-watt 6.5-inch two-way system; and the DS-8 is a 120-watt,
8-inch two-way system. Each model features XLR inputs for
AES/EBU compatibility and coaxial I/O for integration into digital
recording and workstation environments such as Roland's
VS Series Digital Workstations.

Efficient Power with a New Cabinet Design
..........................................................................
The DS-Series' efficient heat sink power amplifier is fully
compatible with new IEC60065 safety standards. The power
switch is built into the front panel for optimum convenience.
A newly designed shielded cabinet helps eliminate interference
in TV, radio and other recording environments where speakers
are placed in close proximity to video
monitors and computer screens.
