Main Features
 
 
In Pursuit of High Sound Quality
 
The DS-30A powered monitor uses a two-way, bi-amplifier 
design to achieve high sound quality.
The monitor features a 120-mm LF Driver and a 25-mm 
soft-dome HF Driver as speakers. The amplification 
includes 20-watt and 10-watt amplifiers designed to 
achieve high sound 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 DS-30A is provided with digital input connectors (coaxial and optical) that support 96 
kHz sample rate and 24-bit digital audio.
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.
