Main Features

●

In Pursuit of High Sound Quality

The DS-8/7/5 powered monitor uses a two-way, bi-

amplifier design to achieve high sound quality.

The LF driver and dome HF driver use separate amps

sections for LF and HF, ensuring optimal sound quality.

In particular, the DS-8/7 feature completely discrete DC

power amps for the highest possible 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 digital inputs (coaxial and optical) support 24-bit digital audio data at sampling rates up

to 192 kHz. AES/EBU professional audio format digital input is also provided.

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.
