Main Features

 

 

In Pursuit of High Sound Quality

 

The DS-30A powered monitor uses a two-way, bi-amplifier 
design to achieve high sound quality.

The monitor features a 120-mm LF Driver and a 25-mm 
soft-dome HF Driver as speakers. The amplification 
includes 20-watt and 10-watt amplifiers designed to 
achieve high sound quality.

 

 

Analog Input

 

In addition to an XLR connector, which provides for 
balanced input, a 1/4" TRS phone jack accommodating either balanced or unbalanced input 
is also provided. This assures broad-ranging connectivity. 

 

 

Digital Input

 

The DS-30A 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.

 

 

Magnetically Shielded Low- and High-Frequency Drivers

 

This allows you to use the speakers next to CRT displays.
