Pioneer DJ DM-40BT Bluetooth Studio Monitors, Black

A headphone output and volume knob on the front panel give you flexibility and control, while the RCA and stereo mini jack inputs on the back let you easily connect the speakers to your DJ or production kit. Not quite sure what was expecting from these but in truth I thought it would save me getting my old Rotel amp and Wharfdale speakers out of the loft. The speakers are also front ported, meaning there’s a slot in the front of each to allow air to move in and out of the unit for a fuller bass.

Another advancement from the DM-40 model comes in the updated design of the DECO convex diffusers which help deliver crystal-clear high frequencies in every direction, so you can enjoy a wide sweet spot and 3D stereo sound wherever you are in the room. If you are looking for flat response studio monitors however, then look elsewhere as the sound is designed to be bright and aggressive.

Presumably I just plug the built in RCA cables into the left speaker, then connect the right speaker to the left with some standard speaker cable? The second-best option is getting desk stands, and the third-best option is having some foam cushions, which Pioneer DJs kindly supply with their speakers. It doesn't punch as hard as premium speakers, but I think it's simply impressive, especially for a portable budget speaker.

Perfect starter monitors for a small room and being positioned near a wall given the bass vents are on the front. The DJ DM 40s are best suited for beginning DJs and entry-level audiophiles who seek to upgrade their computer speakers. Connecting your headphones is simple via the socket on the front panel and the level knob is right in front of you too. They aren’t so tiny and light that this would be a selling point, but the speakers sure won’t crowd your room.Speakers of this size won’t be ideal for house parties, but for bedrooms DJ’s and those wanting to escape their laptop speakers. The speaker has a beautiful crescent diffuser to lead the high frequencies that nest around the bass driver. No deposit required up front, pay the balance in full before the end of the 6-month period and there is no interest to pay whatsoever. Inside the compact monitors is high-quality speaker technology from Pioneer's pro audio brand TAD and from Pioneer's own S-DJ X series of pro DJ monitors.
