New Pioneer DJ DM Series Speakers with Updated Amplification and Bluetooth

The three new models in Pioneer DJ’s DM series of desktop speakers are not radically new. Pioneer DJ DM-50D-BT is a version of the DM-50D model already known since the end of last year, supplemented by Bluetooth. As for the other two, these are modifications of the Pioneer DJ DM-40 acoustics, the 40D-BT version is equipped with Bluetooth, and the 40D is not.

According to Pioneer DJ, all three have received updated Class-D amplifiers with a sampling rate of 96 kHz, which allows them to “reproduce a clear, balanced bass sound”. The built-in DSP supports “Production Mode” with a sound option optimized for DJing. The convex DECO cone will still provide a wider treble pattern, and the symmetrical bass reflex ports are designed to eliminate overtones.

The larger Pioneer DJ DM-50D-BT speakers are equipped with a 5-inch woofer, for models with the “40” index, it is, respectively, 4-inch. A soft dome tweeter operates at high frequencies. Another difference between smaller and larger models is in switching. DM-50D-BT, in addition to RCA input connectors and a mini-jack, also received a 1/4-inch connector, which is not available in the DM-40 models. But the volume control and headphone jack are in all three kits, presented in black or white.

In the UK, the Pioneer DJ DM-50D-BT costs £230, the Pioneer DJ DM-40D-BT is £170 and the Pioneer DJ DM-40D is £150 each.
