With studio monitors, the “sweet spot” where you’re listening—the focal point between the speakers where stereo mixes just right—is very important. The VM-50 sets up an excellent triangle where the mid-range frequencies—like certain vocals, guitars, and synthesizers—sound exceptionally crisp, clear, and detailed and the high-end sounds are sharp, but not spikes (which can manifest in certain monitors such as the Yamaha HS series). The “Bright Treble” EQ setting on the VM-50 did make really chirpy elements in some songs sound somewhat harsh, but the Flat setting for High EQ sounded just right for most occasions. Did these speakers get my first pumping? Both speakers house a 3/4-inch soft dome tweeter and a 5-inch fiberglass-cone woofer. Internally, the Class D amplifier that drives the speakers delivers 25W per channel, with a frequency range of 54Hz to 30kHz and an impedance of 10 ohms. Ports on the front (below the woofers) improve the airflow. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

Max dimensions (W x D x H): Lch: 175 x 262 x 257 mm / 6.89” x 10.32” x 10.12”, Rch 175 x 262 x 247 mm / 6.89” x 10.32” x 9.72” Before we discuss how the speakers sound, we first must explain Pioneer's so-called digital sound processing (DSP) modes. The phrase DSP rightly strikes fear in the hearts of most sound engineers—you want to mix on a transparent system that doesn’t include any dynamic compression or signal chain limitations. It's perhaps better to think of the two modes here (Production and DJ) as "voicing options.” The Production setting adds a bit more emphasis to the human voice frequency range, and slightly rolls off some of the lower frequencies; this is technically not a flat response, but it does result in better clarity. The DJ mode, by comparison, has a slightly fuller response in the bass frequencies and a bit less crispness in the high-mids and highs. The difference, however, isn't obvious. Once everything is connected and powered, the VM-50 offers internal 96kHz digital signal processing for low and high frequencies. These EQ settings are meant to compensate for the speakers’ placement in a room, the room’s reverberation, or personal preference. The Low EQ settings are Room 1, Flat, Room 2, and Club Bass (offering a bump at 50Hz), while the similar High EQ settings include Room 1, Flat, Room 2, and Bright Treble (nudging the 4kHz and 8kHz regions). These settings apply different frequency boost, or gain settings, and both the Low and High settings include one attenuation curve, one neutral setting, one heavy boost curve, and one more subtle boost curve. Purists beware, the digital filters can’t be bypassed, but there isn’t limiting in the signal chain, and the Flat settings aren’t overly sculpted—plus, the tone control flexibility is nice because no rooms or ears are the same. The VM-50 manual offers more information on determining which settings best suit your setup. Can these monitors keep the beat?Each of the DM-50D-BT speakers contains a 5-inch fibreglass cone woofer, a ¾-inch soft dome tweeter, a new Class D amplifier and redesigned DECO convex diffusers. The woofer can provide an extra increase in power when the volume is turned up. Precise frequencies are produced thanks to the expertly positioned tweeters—the Class D amplifier assists with producing balanced natural bass sound. Additionally, the diffusers provide a broader sweet spot and 3D stereo sound, all thanks to their inbuilt structure and ability to produce super-clear high frequencies in all directions. 2-way Sound Mode As far as the DJ/producer switch goes, shoot me but I really didn’t notice an awful lot of difference. It is meant to give you a bit more bass when DJing and a flatter frequency response when producing, but really where you set this is going to be down to personal preference. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty Not surprisingly, the larger Rokit 6 and T8V monitors are quite noticeably bassier than the VM-50, even with Pioneer DJ’s “Club Bass” EQ setting engaged. But that’s to be expected because, with the smaller 5.25-inch woofer, the VM-50 can’t push as much air physically to get the same bass response as larger monitors. The Rokit 6s are also known for having a bassy bias, and both the Rokit 6s and the T8Vs have a lower frequency response and more power allocated to their woofer than the VM-50 woofer’s 30W. The VM-50’s bass was clean and correct but doesn’t punch like some. Inside the cabinet is a new Class D amplifier with a 96kHz sampling DSP that Pioneer DJ says helps to produce a pure and balanced bass sound. The two-way speaker setup features a 5-inch fibre-glass woofer and 0.75-inch soft dome tweeter, the two aligned for clarity across the frequency range.

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. Each VM-50 monitor includes a standard three-prong AC power cable. For connecting audio sources, you have a balanced combo input for either XLR or TRS (¼-inch) cables and an unbalanced input for RCA cables. Having inputs for all three of those cable types should be a standard monitor feature, yet a surprising number of studio monitors leave out either the RCA or the TRS connectivity, so that’s a plus for the VM-50. The Pioneer DJ DM-50D are powerful 5-inch 2-way bass reflex, active desktop monitor speakers. The speakers contain elements of the prevalent DM-40 units in addition to new features and components. As a result, the DM50Ds are robust and produce crystal clear quality sound. The speaker units are easy to use, tune and set up, are available in two colours, and sold as a pair. Innovative Features With 96kHz sampling, updated DECO convex diffusers and crystal clear and balanced sound, whether you're looking to play DJ sets at home or produce your own music, the Pioneer DM-50D Active Monitor Speakers are the ultimate choice.Do away with agonising over whether the speaker monitors are suitable for DJing or making music, as the DM-50Ds are ideal for both. You can select either DJ mode or music production mode thanks to a clever little switch on the DM 50D speakers. As a result, the DSP settings will automatically adjust and optimise, leaving you to concentrate on the music. DM-50D Connections For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. Each DM-50D speaker contains a 5-inch woofer, ¾-inch soft dome tweeter, a new Class D amplifier and redesigned DECO convex diffusers. The woofer can provide an extra power boost when the volume is turned up, along with precise sounding frequencies, thanks to the expertly positioned tweeters, and the Class D amplifier aids in producing balanced natural bass sound. In addition, the diffusers provide a wider sweet spot and 3D stereo sound thanks to their inbuilt structure and ability to push out ultra-clear high frequencies in all directions. 2-way Sound Mode You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail.

It perhaps shows that in terms of recognition, the Pioneer name still carries some weight, and the DJ slice of the brand focuses on music production and professional sound systems such as DJ controllers and sound mixers.Rather than test these in the Digital DJ Tips studio as I normally would, I set them up in my tiny home studio, because it is DJ/producers at home who these are primarily aimed at, so I thought it would be a fairer test. The Production mode offers more of a flourish in terms of dynamism, more faithfully reproducing those highs and lows in music. Unlike the DJ mode, bass takes on a more reined-in quality to its performance, tauter and less weighty. Updated from the older DM-40 model are the DECO Convex diffusers seated around the tweeter. These are effectively a waveguide to help spread high-frequency sounds from the tweeter in every direction for a wider sweet spot.
