The Rockville DPM6 Active Powered Studio Monitor Speaker is a step-up version of our popular APM series. These speakers are sold individually and each speaker is bi-amped which means it has one amp for the highs, and another for the lows. These speakers have 210 watts of peak output power and 105 watts RMS. These sound better than the famous brand studio monitors. They have a flat frequency curve making these the perfect studio monitors. The only reason our price point is not 300 % higher is because you are buying directly from the manufacturer. We are one of the leading speaker manufacturers in the USA, and we have a state of the art manufacturing process. There is a lot to talk about so I will break it down into sections.
Description of the Enclosure:
We chose a wooden enclosure as opposed to a plastic enclosure. Your studio is made of wood for a reason. The sound characteristics of high quality wood are better than plastic. We only use the highest quality MDF wood. We do not bother with cheap particle board material when we want to make the best speakers. The thickness is 0.5” around and the front board is a full 1” thick to give you the best sound quality possible. The enclosure is built with the perfect amount of air space to maximize sound quality for a studio.
Every studio or computer room should look beautiful. We believe speakers should enhance the look of a room. We make these speakers in 3 beautiful finishes: painted black, painted white, and wood finish. We use “baking paint” made for wood surfaces. Baking paint is long lasting and is the best paint for speakers! We went with a beautiful finish that is mostly matte with a slight shine to it. Our designers spent countless hours on the color and design to make sure it is not only beautiful, but elegant as well to improve the appearance of your studio or room. We kept all the controls on the back of the speaker, which will keep the speaker looking very clean and modern. The tweeter has a curved front bezel to make the highs crystal clear and distortion free.
Amplifier and Speaker Components Details:
To get the most efficiency we use a class “D” amplifier. We use the best quality components from the most reputable circuit manufacturers in the world in order to produce crystal clear sound. Most brands do not like to reveal what’s in the guts of the speaker. We feel differently. We want you to know what is inside so you realize how good of a value we are offering and also so that you can understand how good these really are. We use ADAU 1701 Digital Sound Processor (DSP) for audio processing and TPA3116 for amplification. These are both known to be the best in class circuit designs. These components are amazing and allow us to adjust the sound via soft programming on a computer during the design stage to get the perfect sound. ADI and TI are the names of the makers of these ICs. Most people do not know the brand names that make circuits; but these are the most famous and reliable in the industry. Only very high end manufacturers like us use these components.
For highs, we use Ferro fluid enhanced 1.5 neodymium silk dome tweeters with metal grill protection. If you are an audiophile, I am sure you have tested and love the sound of silk dome tweeters. The neo magnet is strong and can handle a lot of heat. This enabled us to beef up the amplifier power without having to worry about melting or blowing the tweeter. The highs on these sound really good! I cannot wait for you all to hear it in person, because I cannot describe how good these sound! You really need to listen to them in person.
We use a 6.5” woofer that will out-perform a regular 6.5” woofer any day! The bass sounds amazing on these! Very clear and punchy! The woofer has an injection molded polypropylene cone. This is an engineered type of plastic that is used on many speakers today. It is strong and puts out a great sound. The rubber woofer surrounds increase sound quality and eliminate unwanted distortions. They sound better than foam surrounds in my opinion, which is why we went with rubber. The computer optimized electronic crossover network supplies amazing sounding highs, lows, and mids — basically it filters out unwanted frequencies from each component so that each speaker plays the right frequencies, which in turn allows the speaker to be louder without distorting. We use very high-grade crossover filters in our speakers. The specially wound voice coils produce accurate responses along the entire frequency spectrum. We developed the speakers with the most optimized magnet structure, cone, and cabinet space, with the goal of reproducing the sound to play back exactly the way it was recorded!
Added Benefits:
Our factory uses the latest Precision Glue Machine (Over 500 meter Tunnel Oven). But you may ask why am I talking about glue Well, actually, the glue on the speakers is of the upmost importance. If the glue does not hold up, the speaker will be done and blow. We use the latest machinery to manufacture these speakers. The SPL of the speaker goes up when you use better glue and a better machine that can secure the glue in place. If the glue can handle more heat, than your speaker can handle more power!
Thick “Wadding” protects the inside of the speaker cabinet. This can be seen if the speaker cabinet is removed. Basically, wadding is a white chemical silk type of material that we put inside the speaker cabinet for multiple reasons. It helps to make the sound clearer, and at the same time it protects all the parts inside the speaker. This material is also fire retardant. This is unique to our speakers. Most other brands do not take this step due to the cost of the material, but it is a game changer if you are trying to create the best speaker!
Inputs and Outputs and Rear Panel Controls:
As I mentioned earlier, we kept all the controls on the rear of the unit to make the speaker look clean and modern. The Volume, High Pass filter and Low Pass filter controls are all found on the rear of the unit. The DPM6 has all your standard studio inputs and outputs such as a ¼” TRS and XLR balanced input jacks, and RCA input.
