Roland DS-7 Active 40W/20W Bi-amped Monitor with 24-Bit/192kHz Digital Input

Roland DS-7 at a Glance

• Superb sound quality with balanced energy output for critical listening.
• Newly designed cabinet with bi-amplified circuit that produces no out of phase characteristics.
• 24-bit digital input with up to 192 kHz sampling rate.
• XLR, coaxial, and optical digital inputs; AES/EBU and S/PDIF format.
• Compact design to fit a variety of mixing environments.
• Newly designed heat sink and front-panel power switch.

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. 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. Roland DS-7 Features:
