Sunday was an interesting day at the show, even though the floor wasn’t officially open. At an Avid press event, Digidesign unveiled their latest products; two high-end speakers designed in collaboration with PMC. The RM1 is a 5.5-inch two-way ($1249 each) amped at 80w/50w while the RM2 is a 6.7-inch two-way ($1749 each) amped at 100w/50w. Both monitors feature PMC‘s Advanced Transmission Line technology tailoring the response through cabinet design and onboard DSP taking care of crossover duties, speaker positioning EQ settings, trim level, and bass port emulation. I/O is either balanced analog (XLR), AES (44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 kHz), AES (RJ-45) and AES digital THRU (RJ-45). The RM1s are surprisingly small looking like a desktop speaker while the RM2s are what you‘d expect on a console as a nearfield. They are shipping now and Mix will have a review asap.
