Digidesign does monitors!
With the RM Series of monitors, Digidesign, an industry leader in production software and hardware, throws their hat into a new arena - studio monitors. Designed in conjunction with PMC (Professional Monitor Company, based in the UK), the RM1 boasts a 5.5-inch woofer that performs on par with much larger systems. These are the perfect monitors for anyone from home and project studios to mobile productions and post-production facilities. Digidesign employs Advanced Transmission Line Technology to ensure the RM1 is optimized for maximum volume with reduced distortion and bigger bass from a smaller monitor. The RM1 represents the next generation of monitoring!

Digidesign RM1 at a Glance:
  • Advanced Transmission Line Technology
  • Bass Port Emulation
  • Onboard DSP Engine
  • Superior, Analog-Controlled, Class D Amplification

Advanced Transmission Line Technology
Digidesign RMS monitors employ PMC's Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) technology, which combines sophisticated cabinet engineering, proprietary drive unit and crossover components, and patented absorption materials to deliver enormous benefits over sealed and ported designs. As a result, Digidesign RMS monitors deliver improved audio resolution with a higher sound pressure level, reduced distortion, flat frequency response, and deeper, more defined bass frequencies than other speaker designs of similar size. And since the frequency response remains consistent at all volumes, there is no need to crank the volume in order to achieve maximum bass response.

Bass Port Emulation
Although ATL technology provides a more accurate bass response than traditional ported designs, PMC and Digidesign engineers developed a unique Bass Port Emulation feature that allows the monitors to emulate the tonal characteristics associated with ported bass reflex speakers. As a result, the Digidesign RMS monitors make it easy to hear a mix as it truly sounds as well as how it translates to a ported speaker. With the Bass Port Emulation off, the frequency response is flat and free of any additional coloration.

Onboard DSP Engine
Both monitors benefit from a 48-bit, fixed-point digital signal processing (DSP) engine that manages various tasks, including the monitors' complex frequency crossover, speaker positioning EQ settings, trim level, and Bass Port Emulation. The two-way, DSP-based digital crossover features revolutionary steep and pure filter designs that ensure an exceptionally clean transition, with virtually zero phase shift, between the two drivers' response curves and roll-off rates. The net result is the ideal transition between the high frequency and low frequency drivers as well as superb phase response over a wider listening window.

Superior, Analog-Controlled, Class D Amplification
Each driver in RMS monitors is powered by independent, analog-controlled, Class D amplifier, which combines the efficiency and size advantages of digital amplifiers with the precision, control, and sound quality of audiophile linear amplifiers. The power amplifier section within each speaker is 92% efficient in comparison with a linear Class A amplifier, which generally operates at around 50% efficiency. This means more power for the speakers and less escaping in the form of heat. And unlike typical Class D amplifiers that have a load-dependent frequency response, the specially-designed Class D amplifiers in Digidesign RMS monitors can sense the loudspeaker voltage directly and provide an extremely accurate frequency response regardless of the reactive load presented by the transducers. Amplifier performance is further enhanced with the inclusion of a linear power supply, which provides two times the peak current headroom and better noise isolation than typical switch mode designs.

Digidesign RM1 Features:
  • Professional, bi-amplified monitors
  • Analog and digital inputs (up to 24-bit/96 kHz)
  • Audiophile-grade, analog-controlled Class D amplifiers with high-quality linear power supply units
  • Advanced Transmission Line technology provides high sound pressure level (SPL) and superior bass extension
  • Unrivaled tonal accuracy, clarity, and dynamic range with exceptionally low distortion
  • Onboard DSP Engine
  • Extremely accurate digital crossover for pristine imaging
  • Bass Port Emulation mode to emulate tonal characteristics of ported bass reflex speakers
  • Precise gain trim, low- and high-frequency adjustment, and speaker placement settings
  • Low jitter analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with low-noise clock oscillator
  • Sound dispersion design maintains accurate frequency response even in off-axis listening positions
