Desktop monitoring for creators and listeners

The white D3V Active Desktop Monitoring System brings German-engineered studio sound to desks for songwriters, producers and discerning listeners. Each speaker is fully active with built-in amplification so no separate amplifier is required. A pair connects directly to computers or mobile devices via USB-C for a simple digital audio path.

Aluminium woofers, ribbon tweeter and angled stands

Two 3.5 aluminium woofers are driven by 80 W amplifiers and reinforced by dual-sided 3.5 passive radiators extending low-frequency response to 45 Hz. A 1.5 D-ART ribbon tweeter handles high frequencies with precision. Detachable stands angle each monitor 15° toward the ears and a 3/8 threaded hole allows microphone-stand mounting.

Connections and placement checks before ordering

The left speaker provides balanced 1/4 TRS inputs and DSP-powered switches for placement compensation. A front-panel headphone socket and volume knob offer direct monitoring. Verify your source has USB-C or 1/4 TRS outputs and that desk space accommodates the stands or alternative mounting.

Questions about this item

What does the USB-C connection on the D3V actually carry?

The USB-C port carries digital audio from a computer or mobile device and also supplies the control link for the speaker's DSP settings; it does not deliver power to the amplifiers, which run from the included external PSU.

How much clearance does the 15-degree angled stand add behind each monitor?

The detachable stands tilt each speaker back 15 degrees toward the listener and require roughly the speaker's depth plus a few centimetres of rear clearance for the angled footprint.

Which cable do I use first when setting up a stereo pair?

Connect the supplied 6.6-foot loudspeaker link cable between the left and right units before plugging in the USB-C or 1/4-inch TRS source cables; skipping the link cable leaves the right channel silent.
