NOTE
• Please be aware that not all VS/VM series units are
capable of providing speaker modeling. Before making
your purchase, you should confirm that the unit you
are considering does indeed provide the features you
desire.
• Speaker Modeling is not possible using just the DS-
50A. Take a look at the documentation for the VS/VM
series.
What’s Speaker Modeling?
This feature uses digital signal processing to model the
changes in sound quality produced by a particular speaker
during audio output. This lets you use one type of monitor
speaker to emulate speakers from other manufacturers, and
even the speakers from small household-use television sets
and other equipment. You can use the DS-50A in combination
with this to simulate the sound checks at mixdown, which
conventionally have required switching between multiple
pairs of monitors set up to compare the sound.
The DS-50A supports the "Speaker Modeling" function that is included in the Roland V-studio (VS series) and V-mixer
(VM series).

Tips about high sound quality playback
• Please pay careful attention to the placement location. In order to take full advantage of the low-frequency playback
capabilities of this device, we recommend that you place it on a hard and strong base.
• When using digital in connections, turn down the LEVEL knob of this device and raise the output level of the connected
device. This will take advantage of the full number of bits in the digital signal, improving the audio quality.
