Advanced Amplification for Roland V-Drums
If you've heard the incredible sound of Roland's V-Drums in the studio, you know that in order to get the most out of them for live performace, monitoring through a generic floor wedge or earphone just won't do. In order to get the proper audial feedback from the drums, you need an amplification system that takes both the sonic and I/O requirements of the incredible-sounding V-Drums into account from the ground up. To that end, Roland created the PM-30, a top-of-the-line 2.1-channel advanced speaker system. With 200 watts of Class-D power, a high-performance 12" woofer with tweeter, a pair of 4" satellite speakers, and a proprietary DSP engine, the PM-30 delivers powerful, clear, full-range sound in a package that's cleanly designed and comfortable to transport. The PM-30 can also be used for headphone-free practice, rehearsals, and amplification in smaller venues.
Roland PM-30 at a Glance:
V-Drum speaker system with two satellite speakers and matching 12" woofer enclosure
Four built-in Class-D power amplifiers
Special V-Drum input and DSP
Three input channels and two sets of outputs
Easy transport and setup
Full-Range Sound
With its two satellite speakers and matching 12" woofer enclosure with tweeter, the PM-30 delivers a clear, full-frequency sound. The selectable Full-Range and Subwoofer modes, with accompanying value dial, let you customize the amp's low-frequency performance, while the built-in 3-band EQ lets you fine-tune the tone from high to low.
Quad Power Pack
Four Class-D power amplifiers are built into the PM-30 system - 100W, 50W, and 50W - for a total of 200 watts of high-performance impact. It's plenty of power for rehearsals and small- to medium-size venues. Line outputs are provided for tapping into larger systems when needed.
Great for V-Drums
Roland V-Drum owners will appreciate the PM-30's special V-Drum input, which accepts a single stereo TRS feed from the V-Drums' headphone output. But that's only part of the compatibility story. Roland's engineers carefully optimized the PM-30 for use with V-Drum kits via newly created DSP.
I/O Options
The PM-30 provides a flexible input path with three input channels (both 1/4" and RCA input types are offered) and two sets of outputs (1/4" line outputs (stereo) are provided, plus an additional pair of outputs for the satellite speakers).
Transport and Setup
A solid crossbar spans the top of the PM-30's base unit for convenient carrying; two side handles are provided as well. The two satellite speakers can be clamped onto the crossbar or mounted onto a drum rack.
