Surprisingly powerful for such compact speakers the DM-40 desktop monitors bring excellent audio quality to your home setup. They inherit the best from Pioneer DJ's professional S-DJX series and Pro Audio speakers, including a front-loaded bass reflex system for a rich, tight bass and DECO technology for a wider reach and sweet spot.

All these features are combined in a compact design making the DM-40 the perfect match for DJing, producing and simply enjoying music at home.

• FRONT-LOADED BASS REFLEX SYSTEM

  4-inch fiberglass woofers output a strong, punchy bass from the front, while grooves on the ducts reduce air friction. This way you'll feel a tight bass kick even when the monitors are positioned against the wall.

• 3D STEREO SOUND

  The DM-40's ¾-inch soft dome tweeters are fitted with DECO convex diffusers that channel high frequencies in every direction. So you’ll enjoy a wide sweet spot and 3D stereo sound wherever you sit or stand.

• TIME ALIGNMENT

  Class AB amplifiers deliver a crisp sound with low-distortion. Plus the tweeter and woofer are perfectly aligned to eliminate crossover and ensure a well-balanced response across the frequencies.

• SMART DESIGN

  The cabinets' curved front edges provide maximum rigidity and minimum resonance for a clean sound at all volumes - and they'll look good in your home set-up.

• EASE OF USE

  A headphone output and volume knob on the front panel give you flexibility and control, while the RCA and stereo mini jack inputs on the back let you easily connect the speakers to your DJ or production kit.
