We've upgraded our popular 4-inch active desktop monitor speaker, the DM-40, adding Bluetooth® wireless technology to offer versatile connectivity in the DM-40BT (black) and the DM-40BT-W (white).
The DM-40BT/DM-40BT-W active speakers create a versatile home set-up, producing a rich, balanced sound that's ideal for producing and DJing. Drawing on our professional speaker technology, we've packed the compact speakers with Bluetooth® wireless technology, support for the high-quality Qualcomm® aptX™ audio codec, and AAC support.
The Groove Technology inherited from our highly-reputed active monitor speakers delivers a smooth bass response, while the DECO1 technology gives a wider sweet spot and allows clear audio quality and rich bass sound at the same time, despite the speakers' compact desktop size.
The DM-40BT/DM-40BT-W active monitor speakers will be available from Nov 2017.
Key features of the DM-40BT
Bluetooth® wireless technology, support for Qualcomm® aptX™ high-quality sound reproduction and AAC
In addition to Bluetooth® technology, allowing you to play tracks from smartphones and tablets wirelessly, Qualcomm® aptX™ and AAC support lets you enjoy even higher quality sound reproduction.
Front-loaded bass reflex system with grooves for uninterrupted, rich bass
4-inch fibreglass woofers output bass from the front, and the bass ducts feature grooves to reduce air friction so you'll feel a tight, punchy bass even if you put the speakers close to the wall.
Soft dome tweeters with convex diffusers deliver a 3D, high frequency sound
We've fitted the ¾-inch soft dome tweeters with convex diffusers that use DECO technology from TAD2 Labs. The diffusers channel high frequencies left, right and up — so you'll enjoy a wide sweet spot and 3D stereo sound wherever you sit or stand.
Class AB amp and time alignment ensure balance across the frequencies
The tweeter and woofer are carefully positioned to eliminate crossover and ensure a well-balanced response across the frequencies, while a Class AB amp ensures perfect clarity with low distortion and no loss of quality.
Curved front edges reduce resonance for a clean sound
The cabinet's curved front increases its rigidity and reduces external diffraction — as well as looking good in your home set-up.
Other features
- Volume control dial is on the front panel for ease of use
- RCA and stereo mini jack inputs
- Headphones output
