Main Features
●
In Pursuit of High Sound Quality
The DS-90A powered monitor uses a two-way, bi-amplifier design to
achieve high sound quality.
The monitor features a 160-mm LF Driver and a 25-mm soft-dome HF
Driver as speakers. The amplification includes completely discrete 60-
watt and 30-watt DC structural amplifiers designed to achieve high sound
quality.
●
Digital Input
In addition to XLR and TRS phone analog input, the DS-90A is provided with digital input connectors
(coaxial and optical) that support 24-bit digital audio.
Digitally input signals are reproduced faithfully through 24-bit D/A conversion, thus preventing noise
or a drop in sound quality.
You can use the monitors with a wide variety of equipment and applications through selective use of
the analog and digital settings.
●
Reproduction of a Variety of Speaker Sounds
(combination with the VS or VM)
By connecting the Roland V-Studio (VS series) or V-Mixer (VM series) to
the DS-90A and using Speaker Modeling Function of VS or VM, the DS-90A
can reproduce the sounds from a wide range of speakers, ranging from the
professional monitors from other manufacturers to the speaker in a small
household television set.
You can use the DS-90A in combination with the V-Studio or V-Mixer to
simulate the sound checks at mixdown, which conventionally have required
switching between multiple pairs of monitors set up to compare the sound.
* Please be aware that not all VS/VM series units are capable of providing
speaker modeling. Before making your purchase, you should confirm that
the unit you are considering does indeed provide the features you desire.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
•Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric
motor or variable lighting system).
•Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
•Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum.
To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this
unit; or move it farther away from the source of inter-
ference.
•This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
•Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are
used while their light source is very close to the unit
(such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine
upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of
time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
•To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet
area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
•Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the piano for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
•Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower
vases) on the piano. Also, avoid the use of insecticides,
perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the
unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit
using a dry, soft cloth.
Please also refer to “Important Notes on Placement”
(P. 8).
Maintenance
•To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is
slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface of
cabinet using an equal amount of strength. Rubbing too
hard in the same area can damage the finish.
•Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.
Additional Precautions
•Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its
jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to
malfunctions.
•When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s
internal elements.
•A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during
normal operation.
•To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels (especially when it is late at
night).
•When you need to transport the unit, package it in the
box (including padding) that it came in, if possible.
Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging
materials.
•Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
•Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level
to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.
•Howling could be produced depending on the location of
microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied
by:
•Changing the orientation of the microphone.
•Relocating microphone at a greater distance from
speakers.
•Lowering volume levels.

NOTE
- Please be aware that not all VS/VM series units are
capable of providing speaker modeling. Before making
your purchase, you should confirm that the unit you
are considering does indeed provide the features you
desire.
- Speaker Modeling is not possible using just the DS-
90A. Take a look at the documentation for the VS/VM
series.
What’s Speaker Modeling?
This feature uses digital signal processing to model the
changes in sound quality produced by a particular speaker
during audio output. This lets you use one type of monitor
speaker to emulate speakers from other manufacturers, and
even the speakers from small household-use television sets
and other equipment. You can use the DS-90A in combination
with this to simulate the sound checks at mixdown, which
conventionally have required switching between multiple
pairs of monitors set up to compare the sound.
The Speaker Modeling technology built into the Roland V-Studio (VS series) or V-Mixer (VM series) makes it possible to
use the DS-90A as a reference monitor.
