Owner’s Manual
Features
The Roland Studio Monitor RSM-90 speaker system was designed, developed,
and manufactured in the United States. The high-quality sound these studio
monitors deliver make them perfect for mixing duties in digital recording
studios.
2-Way Speakers with Superior Sound Quality
To achieve such high-quality sound, the low-frequency driver uses a 160-mm
polypropylene foam cone, and the high-frequency driver features a dome
tweeter with a high-precision face plate.
3/4’’ MDF Cabinets with 1” MDF Baffles
Cabinet construction prevents excess vibration, which greatly improves sound
quality.
* MDF = Middle Density Fiberboard
Bi-Wiring Connections
Bi-wiring reduces problems (intermodulation distortion) caused by the effect
the high-frequency and low-frequency drivers have on each other.
Gold-Plated Post Connectors
Gold plating provides long-lasting protection for the connectors, preventing
degradation of sound quality over time. Additionally, the binding post
connectors are compatible with heavy-gauge speaker cables.
Magnetically Shielded Low- and High-Frequency Drivers
This allows you to use the speakers next to CRT displays.
Front-Facing Bass Reflex Ports
These ports ensure consistent low-end sound regardless of placement.

following:
Important Notes
Placement
354b
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used
while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a
piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same
area of the unit for extended periods of time. Excessive heat
can deform or discolor the unit.
355
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet
area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
357
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases)
on the unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes,
alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly
wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry,
soft cloth.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the
unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind,
to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
558b
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels (especially when it is late at
night).
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
