Pioneer DJ VM-50 60W 5.25-Inch Active Studio Monitor – Black
The Pioneer DJ VM-50 black active monitor combines a 5.25-inch aramid woofer with adjustable DSP EQ for home DJing and music production. Shape the bass and treble to suit your listening setup, with amplification built into each cabinet. Sold individually; order two speakers when building a complete stereo monitoring system.
Pioneer DJ VM-50 Active Studio Monitor in Black
The Pioneer DJ VM-50 brings dedicated monitoring to a home DJ booth or production workspace. Choose it when you want a speaker with adjustable playback characteristics for practising mixes, reviewing recordings and working on music.
Aramid Woofer and Controlled Bass Port
The aramid-fibre woofer works with Pioneer DJ's Vortex Bass Accelerator port design, which manages airflow to reduce unwanted port vibration. A constant-directivity horn shapes the tweeter's coverage, while the rigid aluminium front baffle helps suppress cabinet resonance.
Adjust the Sound with Independent EQ Controls
Rear-panel Low EQ and High EQ controls each offer four positions, providing 16 combinations. Start with the flat settings for production, then assess whether your placement or preferred listening balance calls for an adjustment. These manual settings complement careful positioning rather than replace acoustic treatment.
Build Your Stereo Monitoring Setup
Plan a matching left and right speaker arrangement around your listening position. Measure the available space, choose suitable supports and select audio cables to match your source equipment.
This listing is for one black VM-50 speaker. Order two for a stereo pair.
