MUMBAI: M-Audio, a part of Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID), today introduced the new Studiophile® DSM3 active studio reference monitor, providing superior monitoring capabilities for audio professionals. The Studiophile DSM3 monitor delivers exceptional accuracy, clarity and dynamic range via a number of unique design elements including onboard digital signal processing (DSP), carefully matched components and a dual-woofer configuration.
The Studiophile DSM3 monitor is the result of a strategic engineering collaboration between Avid’s M-Audio® and Digidesign® product lines and features a unique hybrid midwoofer-tweeter-midwoofer (MTM) design. This configuration delivers the sound of a larger monitor and flexibility of horizontal or vertical placement, allowing users to position the monitor a variety of different ways while maintaining consistent sound. The MTM design also maximizes the horizontal radiation pattern coherency for a wide and accurate sweet spot with minimal reflections, giving engineers the freedom to move from side to side across the mixing board, while hearing the same representation of the mix.
Additionally, a powerful onboard DSP engine controls a complex fourth order digital crossover to provide true acoustical alignment and exceptional imaging. The Studiophile DSM3 monitor’s onboard DSP also manages a host of customizable filter settings to help optimize the speaker for placement within even the most challenging acoustic settings.
