The Rockville ASM5 Active Studio Monitor creates a new performance level in
affordable studio monitors. Designed and engineered for refined vocal reproduction, our unique
design eliminates high frequency diffraction while providing full range monitoring accuracy and
enhanced bass response.
Our Neodymium silk soft dome tweeters are bathed in magnetic ferro-fluid keeping them cool even
when your music gets hot! The recessed tweeter bezel design provides an optimal high frequency
wave guide so the sound is focused out towards the listening stage. The high frequency section
features an adjustable equalization circuit so that in-room listening optimization can be easily
achieved.
Using sophisticated computer modeling the ASM5 features rear-firing ports that provide enhanced
bass coupling thereby reinforcing and amplifying low frequency response without affecting accuracy.
You will hear the difference in our design and appreciate the accurate and clean bass performance
with higher, cleaner sound pressure levels.
State-of-the-art amplification, Quad 4 Amplification with OFA
Unlike most studio monitors, the Rockville ASM5 studio monitors feature a Quad Amplifier design in
each pair of monitors. Each woofer and tweeter features their own Frequency Optimized Amplifier,
so there is no wasted energy in the amplification stage and an absolute minimum of hormonic
distortion. The efficiency of our digital Class D design is in excess of 90% with zero discernible hiss
or white noise.
The Input Volume Gain Control provides an adjustable gain range from -30dB to +6dB so that your
ASM5 are compatible with a majority of mixing scenarios. The ASM5 feature various input
connections so they hook-up to any mixing or monitoring system including unbalanced RCA,
balanced 1/4" TRS and USB. In addition, front accessible headphone jacks make the ASM5 even
more versatile.
