Main Features

In Pursuit of High Sound Quality

The DS-50A powered monitor uses a two-way, bi-amplifier design to achieve high sound quality.

The monitor features a 120-mm LF Driver and a 19-mm soft-dome HF Driver as speakers. The amplification includes 30-watt and 20-watt amplifiers designed to achieve high sound quality.

- Digital Input

In addition to XLR and TRS phone analog input, the DS-50A 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.

Reproduction of a Variety of Speaker Sounds

(combination with the VS or VM)

By connecting the Roland V-Studio (VS series) or V-Mixer (VM series) to the DS-50A and using

Speaker Modeling Function of VS or VM, the DS-50A can reproduce the

sounds from a wide range of speakers, ranging from the professional monitors from other manufacturers to the speaker in a small household television set.

You can use the DS-50A in combination with the V-Studio or V-Mixer to simulate the sound checks at mixdown, which conventionally have required switching between multiple pairs of monitors set up to compare the sound.

• Please be aware that not all VS/VM series units are capable of providing speaker modeling. Before making your purchase, you should confirm that the unit you are considering does indeed provide the features you desire.

Using As a Reference Monitor for the V-Studio or V-Mixer

The DS-50A supports the "Speaker Modeling" function that is included in the Roland V-studio (VS series) and V-mixer (VM series).

• Please be aware that not all VS/VM series units are capable of providing speaker modeling. Before making your purchase, you should confirm that the unit you are considering does indeed provide the features you desire.
• Speaker Modeling is not possible using just the DS-50A. Take a look at the documentation for the VS/VM series.

What's Speaker Modeling?

This feature uses digital signal processing to model the changes in sound quality produced by a particular speaker during audio output. This lets you use one type of monitor speaker to emulate speakers from other manufacturers, and even the speakers from small household-use television sets and other equipment. You can use the DS-50A in combination with this to simulate the sound checks at mixdown, which conventionally have required switching between multiple pairs of monitors set up to compare the sound.

Connection Example (VS-890)

Tips about high sound quality playback

• Please pay careful attention to the placement location. In order to take full advantage of the low-frequency playback capabilities of this device, we recommend that you place it on a hard and strong base.
• When using digital in connections, turn down the LEVEL knob of this device and raise the output level of the connected device. This will take advantage of the full number of bits in the digital signal, improving the audio quality.

Troubleshooting

If there is no sound or if the unit does not operate as you expect, please check the following points first. If this does not resolve the problem, contact the nearest Roland service center or authorized Roland distributor.

There's No Sound

• Make sure the Input Level control has not been turned fully counterclockwise.
• Make sure the Input Select switch has been set to the connector where the input signal is connected (Digital Input or Analog Input).
• Make sure the Digital Input select switch has been set to the connector where the input signal is connected (Optical or Coaxial).
• Input a digital signal to the Digital Input connector. No sound is produced when an analog signal is input.

The volume level of the instrument connected to ANALOG INPUT is too low

• Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor? Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

During Digital Signal Input, the Stereo Image Is Reversed or Sounds Unnatural, or Output Doesn't Sound Like Stereo

• Check the setting of the Assign switch (Right, L+R, or Left). The DS-50A uses an identical construction for the left and right monitors, and makes no distinction between left and right. During digital signal input, set the Assign switch L or R as appropriate for your setup.
