Main Features

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled

•IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (page 2)

•USING THE UNIT SAFELY (page 3–5)

•IMPORTANT NOTES (page 5)

written permission of ROLAND CORPORATION.

• The PM-30 is a high-quality stereo monitor amplifier designed especially for use

with Roland’s V-Drums.

This 2.1-channel system features a total output of 200 watts to provide a drum

sound with amazing presence.

• Main Unit features 12-inches (30-cm) woofer plus tweeter.

The wedge-shaped design makes monitoring easier and provides both a sense of

power along with great monitor performance.

Additionally, the PM-30 features switchable “SUBWOOFER” and “FULL

RANGE” playback modes (ranges), as well as a woofer control function that

allows you to balance the volume level with the satellite speakers.

• Each satellite speaker includes a high-quality 4-inches (10-cm) full-range speaker.

Featuring authentic wood cabinets, these units provide clear, natural stereo sound.

In addition, they come with specialized mounting stands, enabling the units to be

set up in a variety of ways.

• The system includes dedicated channels designed to reproduce all of the V-Drums

sound.

Along with superior basic performance, the V-Drums channels also provide great

additional features, such as a PUNCH switch, which produces an even more

powerful drum sound, and a V-Drums input, which enables connection to a V-

Drums sound module using only a single stereo (TRS) cable coming from the V-

Drums headphones output.

• The unit comes equipped with a three-channel stereo mixer function for superior

system expandability.

In addition to a V-Drums sound module, you can also connect and simultaneously

monitor multiple devices, such as additional sound modules and CD players, MP3

players, or any other external audio sources.

Also included is a three-band equalizer to further shape the sound and a LINE

OUT jack useful for expanding the system.

• Includes handle and casters for easy portability.
