Digidesign has unveiled their new Reference Monitor Series (RMS) monitors at the NAB show in Las Vegas. This is the company’s first branded monitors and you can bet they have to sound fantastic to live up to the Digidesign name. Developed jointly with PMC (the Professional Monitor Company, based in the UK), the new RMS monitors unite Digidesign’s deep expertise in digital audio with PMC’s legacy of building fine, cutting-edge loudspeaker designs. Available as a 5.5-inch two-way (RM1) and a 6.7-inch two-way (RM2), the RMS monitors incorporate innovation in almost every aspect of their design – from amplifier topology to acoustics and the deployment of advanced digital signal processing. Both monitors employ Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) technology, which combines sophisticated cabinet engineering, proprietary drive unit and crossover components, and patented absorption materials. As a result, the 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 speakers of similar size. Word is they will be shipping in May. We can’t wait to take these babies on a test drive for ourselves!
