Tascam's latest breakthrough for home recording is the VLA series of reference monitors, a value-priced lineup of great-sounding reference monitors. The lineup includes the VLA4, VLA5 and VLA8, which are 4, 5 and 8 inch two-way reference monitors. Each of the models is self-powered and employs balanced TRS/XLR combination inputs. A deep-cabinet design with bass ports (front-mounted on the VLA5 and VLA8) extends the low end beyond similarly-priced units. High and low frequency controls on the VLA5 and VLA8 allow the user to tailor the monitors response to their own studio.
Also available is the LFS8 subwoofer, an 8 inch ported design which extends the range of the monitor system for productions that demand deep bass response. Just as PortaStudio democratized recording for the home musician, the VL-A series brings precise monitoring performance and striking industrial design to the home studio.
