Reloop DSM-3 BT (set of 2)

The Reloop DSM-3 BT are active monitoring speakers that combine audio performance, compactness, and modern connectivity. Designed to meet the needs of DJs, home studio producers, and music enthusiasts, these speakers offer a versatile solution for various audio applications in limited spaces.

Design and Construction

The DSM-3 BT feature a sleek and functional design, typical of professional monitoring speakers. Their compact MDF wooden cabinet ensures minimal resonance and faithful sound reproduction. With dimensions of 140 × 222 × 152.5 mm, these speakers easily fit into desk setups or small workspaces.

The front panel includes a 1.30 cm tweeter and an 8.89 cm woofer, protected by a sturdy metal grille. The control panel, located on the active speaker, includes a volume knob, bass and treble adjustments, and a convenient headphone jack for private listening.

Sound Quality

Despite their modest size, the DSM-3 BT deliver impressive sound quality. The bass-reflex design, combined with the class AB amplifier, provides surprisingly powerful and defined low frequencies for speakers of this size. The frequency response of 80 Hz to 20 kHz effectively covers the audible spectrum, offering balanced reproduction of mids and highs.

The 2 × 20 watts RMS amplification provides enough power to fill a small to medium-sized room with sound. The clarity and precision of the sound are particularly appreciated for home studio monitoring, allowing producers to hear the subtle details of their mixes.

Connectivity and Versatility

The strength of the DSM-3 BT lies in their versatility. The integration of Bluetooth allows for quick wireless connection with smartphones, tablets, and computers, ideal for everyday music listening. For professional applications, the stereo RCA input ensures a reliable wired connection with studio or DJ equipment.

The front headphone output facilitates individual monitoring, while the dedicated subwoofer output offers the option to extend the low-frequency response if needed. This connectivity flexibility allows the DSM-3 BT to adapt to various setups and uses.

Home Studio Use

In a home studio context, the DSM-3 BT excel as nearfield monitors. Their compact size makes them ideal for small workspaces while providing sufficient sound quality for small-scale mixing and music production.

The two-band equalization allows for sound response adjustments based on room acoustics, ensuring more accurate listening. The clarity of the mids and highs helps identify details in the mix, while the bass response, though limited by the size of the speakers, remains sufficiently defined for most music genres.

Performance for DJs

For DJs, the DSM-3 BT offer a practical solution for preparation listening and small performances. The Bluetooth connectivity allows for quick track testing from a smartphone or tablet, while the RCA input ensures a reliable connection with DJ controllers.

The moderate yet sufficient power and sound clarity enable DJs to work on their transitions and mixes in a home environment without disturbing the neighborhood. For small events, these speakers can serve as booth monitors, providing clear nearfield listening for the DJ.
