At the Winter edition of the NAMM 2007 show, Roland introduced the PM-30: a new 2.1-channel advanced speaker system to amplify their popular electronic drum kit series V-Drums. With 200 watts of power, a 12\" woofer with tweeter, a pair of 4\" satellite speakers, and a proprietary DSP engine, the PM-30 delivers powerful, clear, full-range sound in a package that\'s comfortable to transport.Full-Range Sound
With its two satellite speakers and matching 12\" woofer enclosure with tweeter, the PM-30 delivers a clear, full-frequency sound. The selectable Full-Range and Subwoofer modes let you customize the amp\'s low-frequency performance, while the built-in 3-band EQ lets you fine-tune the tone from high to low.
Triple Power Pack
Three Class-D power amplifiers are built into the PM-30 system (100W, 50W, and 50W) for a total of 200 watts of high-performance impact, suitable for rehearsals and small- to medium-size venues. Line outputs are provided for tapping into larger systems when needed.
Great for V-Drums
If you own a Roland V-Drum you will appreciate the PM-30’s special V-Drum input, which accepts a single stereo TRS feed from the V-Drums\'s headphone output. But that’s only part of the compatibility story. Roland’s engineers optimized the PM-30 for use with V-Drum kits via newly created DSP.
I/O Options
According to the company the PM-30 provides a flexible input path with three input channels (both 1/4\" and RCA input types are offered) and two sets of outputs (1/4\" line outputs (stereo) are provided, plus an additional pair of outputs for the satellite speakers).
Transport & Setup
A solid crossbar spans the top of the PM-30’s base unit for carrying; two side handles are provided as well. The two satellite speakers can be clamped onto the crossbar or mounted onto a drum rack.
The Roland V-Drum made its debut in 1997. Endorsing artists include Omar Hakim, Johnny Rabb, and Thomas Lang.
