Digidesign today announced a new family of bi-amplified, professional-grade studio reference monitors—the Reference Monitor Series (RMS). Developed jointly with PMC (the Professional Monitor Company, based in the UK), the new RMS monitors unite Digidesign's deep expertise in digital audio with PMC's legacy for fine, cutting-edge loudspeaker designs and meticulous manufacturing.

Available as a 5.5-inch two-way (RM1 ) and a 6.7-inch two-way (RM2 ), the Digidesign® RMS monitors incorporate innovation in almost every aspect of their design—from amplifier topology to acoustics and the deployment of advanced digital signal processing. Key technologies employed in Digidesign RMS monitors include the following :

- Advanced Transmission Line technology from PMC
- Bass Port Emulation providing a more accurate bass response than traditional ported designs
- Onboard DSP Engine - both monitors benefit from a 48-bit, fixed-point digital signal processing (DSP) engine that manages various tasks, including the monitors' complex frequency crossover, speaker positioning EQ settings, trim level, and Bass Port Emulation
- Analog-Controlled, Class D Amplification

The Digidesign RMS monitors are currently on display at the NAB show in Las Vegas, booth SL106. Both models will be available May 2007 at a price of $1,249 for each RM1 and $1,749 for each RM2. For more information, please visit Digidesign's web site.
