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. The DM-50Ds – which are also available in white– slot into the brand’s DM range above the existing DM-40s and the Bluetooth-equipped DM-40BTs. All three models are supplied as pairs, meaning you get everything you need in one box, ready to plug into a suitable mixer, controller, computer/mobile device or audio interface, depending on what you’re looking to achieve. The unique selling point of the DM-50D is that they feature what Pioneer call a two-way sound mode, allowing you to switch between settings for DJing and production use; the speakers include digital sound processing hardware which alters the frequency response and overall sound accordingly.
Deliveries will be made subject to the terms and conditions of the courier company. djkit.com will not be held responsible for late deliveries.Both modes sound very good, with the DJ mode producing a convincing stereo image that’s spacious, detailed and with good depth. The DM-50D live up to Pioneer DJ’s claims of tight but weighty bass; the low-end of the frequency is provided good detail and clarity, while at the other end the speakers deliver bright and expressive treble reproduction. If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered 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.
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.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?
