Main Features
●
In Pursuit of High Sound Quality
The DM-5 powered monitor uses a two-way, bi-amplifier design to achieve high sound quality.
The monitor features a 120-mm LF Driver and a 19-mm soft-dome HF Driver as speakers. The
amplification includes 30-watt and 20-watt amplifiers designed to achieve high sound quality.
●
Digital Input
In addition to XLR and TRS phone analog input, the DM-5 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.
