General
A decent set of monitors is a great asset, even outside of the mixing studio. For video editing studios, classrooms and other locations that use audio, but not as extensively, Denon have developed an excellent set of speakers. The Denon Professional DN-304SAM active multimedia speakers are compact, but perform admirably for a fair price, making them a high-end alternative for consumer-grade speakers.
Characteristics of the Denon Professional DN-304SAM active multimedia speakers
The DN-304SAM speakers have a configuration consisting of a 4-inch polypropylene woofer and a 1-inch tweeter. A rear-ported bass reflex design ensures a deep frequency response, and an A/B-class amplifier (20 watts per speaker) with plenty of headroom is able to handle extreme peaks. A headphone connector is at your disposal when you want to quietly listen without bothering others, and delivers a great stereo image via your headphones.
