The Pioneer VM-80 is an 8” active monitor speaker designed to deliver exceptional audio quality with powerful, low-distortion performance. Engineered for both professional studio environments and demanding DJ setups, the VM-80 features a Class D amplifier coupled with 96 kHz sampling DSP, providing wide-bandwidth audio reproduction with minimal distortion. The 4-mm-thick aluminum front baffle further enhances sound accuracy by reducing resonance and vibrations, ensuring the audio output remains true to the original source.
The VM-80 integrates advanced aramid fiber woofer cones and the Vortex Bass Accelerator to produce deep, impactful bass and clear low-mid frequencies. These aramid fiber cones are 30% lighter than traditional materials, offering enhanced strength and sound depth. The Vortex Bass Accelerator, with its specialized ribs in the bass reflex port, ensures tight, vibration-free low-end performance. Additionally, the constant directivity horn delivers powerful mid and high frequencies across a broad, uniform listening area, resulting in a natural sound transition between the woofer and tweeter. DSP control provides versatility in tailoring sound output to suit any room, with multiple EQ settings easily adjustable through the rear panel controls.
