Pioneer DJ DM-40 Studio Monitors, Black,4 Inch

Product Information

The Pioneer DM-40’s are an excellent set of studio monitors. But they are not for everyone. If you are a bedroom DJ or want something better than computer speakers these are ideal. On the flip side, if you want to hear and analyze your latest musical creation in detail these will fall short. The amplifiers in the DJ DM 40 speakers are designed to ensure minimal levels of low distortion, even when cranking the volume. The tweeters and woofers are both aligned with each other so that there is no crossover between them.

The Bluetooth module included on the DM-40 is simply for easier casual listening. Making the DM-40 an easier speaker to live with day to day, the inclusion of Bluetooth broadens the speakers appeal. Although we regularly used the Bluetooth connection with our phones and laptop we found the physical analogue cable sounded slightly better. The DM-40 also offers up lots of loudness. Great for plugging into your DJ controller for home practice sessions. They are not loud enough for a party but you shouldn’t be using studio monitors for these types of performances anyway.

Practically this means that the crisp sound quality does not decrease drastically depending on your location in the room. Front-Loaded Bass Reflex System The frontal curve edges are part of what contributes to the smooth and clear sound the speaker produces. Here’s how it works. These curved edges produce minimum resonance that’s important to creating the clear sound that the speaker makes. So how do they sound? Bassy, in a word. The sound is full, rounded, and the immediate impression is of a pair of speakers that sound bigger than they look. If anything, the treble is a little muted. The low end is most certainly accentuated on the Pioneer DM-40s. Whether that is good, depends on what you want from your monitors.What does stand out is that Pioneer succeeded in delivering on its promise of low distortion. Even as the speakers get quite loud, there is no noticeable harshness. When it comes to how it’s built, this speaker feels solid and firm. The speaker has a beautiful crescent diffuser to lead the high frequencies that nest around the bass driver. Furthermore, this speaker has two ports in the front. These ports ensure that you can mount the speaker next to a wall without effect. If you are looking for compact monitors there are some other options worth considering. Likewise, some interesting budget options challenge the DM-40’s when it comes to price. PreSonus Eris E3.5 Review The DM-40D-BTs are ideal for both DJing and producing music.
