Pioneer DJ VM-80 Active Monitor Speaker

The VM-80 is part of Pioneer DJ’s VM series and is built to deliver accurate monitoring for DJs and music producers. Each speaker includes a Class D amplifier paired with 96 kHz sampling DSP to ensure wide-bandwidth reproduction. This design supports low distortion and clear sound, even at higher output levels.

The 4-mm-thick rigid aluminum front baffle helps suppress resonance and unwanted vibrations. This structural reinforcement contributes to more accurate sound reproduction that stays true to the source material.

Low frequencies are driven by an aramid fiber woofer cone. These newly developed cones are 30% lighter than conventional paper-lined aramid designs, increasing strength while enhancing bass depth and punch. The integrated Vortex Bass Accelerator improves airflow through the bass reflex port, helping produce tight low-end response with minimal vibration.

Mid and high frequencies are managed through a constant directivity horn. Its shape ensures smooth crossover between the woofer and tweeter while creating a wide listening area. This design supports consistent sound across your workspace.

For room adjustment, the VM-80 features rear-panel DSP controls. Two knobs—Low EQ and High EQ—each offer four selectable positions. Together, they provide 16 possible EQ combinations, allowing you to tailor output based on room size, shape, and placement.

The hexagonal aluminum front baffle enhances durability while reducing distortion. A tweeter protective guard helps prevent diaphragm damage, and the Alumite-treated brushed finish gives the monitor a clean, professional appearance that complements Pioneer DJ equipment.
