The M-Audio Studiophile DSM2 active reference monitor gives you accuracy, rich, natural sound, and onboard DSP for great results - even from your desktop! The Studiophile DSM2 includes both analog and digital inputs (24-bit/192kHz), allowing you to optimize it for practically any studio environment, from pro console to "in-the-box" DAW. Its 8" LF driver and 1" HF driver receive a total of 180 watts of power from integrated Class D amplifiers. Onboard DSP not only controls the crossover, but provides extensive phase-correction and EQ functions inside the Studiophile DSM2.
Onboard DSP
The DSM2's powerful onboard DSP engine controls a complex fourth-order digital crossover. It also provides clear and accurate audio imaging by compensating for phase differences between the two drivers at the crossover point-delivering perfect acoustic alignment and exceptional imaging. And as a result of exhaustive tuning and listening sessions, the DSM2 monitor provides incredible tonal accuracy, excellent dynamic range and exceptionally low distortion.
Tailor it to your environment
Your listening environment and speaker placement greatly impact monitor performance. To ensure optimal monitoring in your studio, the onboard DSP also manages a broad range of customizable performance filter settings that allow you to tailor each speaker to your room. DSM2 offers DSP-controlled high and low frequency roll-offs along with an assortment of EQ settings, from Acoustic Space to Q, to help optimize the speaker for placement within even the most difficult acoustic environments.
High-quality LF and HF drivers
The Studiophile DSM2 monitor features a custom-designed, 8" anodized aluminum cone woofer that actively reduces distortion by pushing the break-up mode out of the pass band for maximum low-frequency detail at any volume level. The 1-inch ferrofluid-cooled tweeter is made of a soft Teteron dome, which strikes the perfect balance between efficiency and damping to produce a controlled high-frequency breakup out to 27kHz. The drivers and their carefully matched power amps provide a wide 42Hz-27kHz frequency response and outstanding dynamic range, ensuring that you hear an accurate representation of your audio at all volumes.
Integrated design
Each component in the DSM2 monitor is customized to deliver outstanding sound quality in a compact footprint. Its sturdy cabinet is constructed from high-density material with internal bracing that renders it acoustically inert. The tuned bass-reflex dual-sided flared port offers increased SPL with extended bass response and low turbulence, while the carefully matched Class D power amps deliver ample power with low distortion and excellent efficiency. The custom-voiced components ensure hours of accurate listening without fatigue. And the professional analog and digital inputs support studio-grade audio resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz, revealing every detail that you've created with your digital audio workstation.
Redefining the World-Class Near-Field Monitor
Over the last 20 years, M-Audio has achieved critical acclaim across diverse lines of music production tools. We attribute much of this success to the fact that each product group operates like a small boutique shop within the organization. The Los Angeles-based engineering team that designed the industry-leading Studiophile line applied psychoacoustic principles to perfect the DSM drivers, power amps, cabinetry and electronics. Along the way, they worked with top recording engineers and producers to refine the Studiophile DSM monitors for optimal performance.
Powerful DSP
M-Audio engineers worked closely with their counterparts at sister company Digidesign to bring their expertise to the Studiophile DSM2 monitor. The powerful onboard DSP engine controls a complex 4th-order digital crossover. It also provides clear and accurate audio imaging by compensating for phase differences between the two drivers at the crossover pointdelivering perfect acoustic alignment and exceptional imaging. And as a result of exhaustive tuning and listening sessions, the DSM2 monitor provides incredible tonal accuracy, excellent dynamic range and exceptionally low distortion.
Tailor the Speaker to Your Room
Your listening environment and speaker placement greatly impact monitor performance. To ensure optimal monitoring in your studio, the onboard DSP also manages a number of functions that allow you to tailor each speaker to your room. DSM2 offers DSP-controlled high and low frequency roll-offs and EQ settings to help optimize the speaker for your space and placement within even the most difficult acoustic environments.
Best-in-Class Drivers
