Roland DS90A Powered Digital Monitor Reviews

46 People rated this product :

"Roland Quality"
Feature:
Both digital (coax and optical) and analog inputs, gain control, hi and lo trim. The digital inputs and excellent Roland DA conversion puts these in a category all by themselves.

Quality:
They look like your standard studio monitors. They are well-built and can withstand some abuse (although hopefully they won't have to). They are heavy buggers at over 33 pounds each.

Value:
There are other monitors available in this price range that may be bigger or have some other desirable attributes, but none are digital. Considering this, I think these are great values.

Desirability:
Again, there are certainly other appealing choices in this price range, but if you really want or need digital monitors, then how could you not want something like this?

Sound:
They sound great for speakers in this price range. There may be better, there are certainly worse, but the bottom line is these sound pretty darn good.

Overall:
In a perfect world, I would have the biggest and best monitors money can buy. In THIS world, I have my DS-90As and will probably stick with them for some time.
