Active speakers - just plug and play
With built-in amplification, there's no need for a separate amplifier. With a punchy 42 watt amp built-in, these speakers are more than capable of filling all but the largest of rooms with immersive sound. Simply plug the active speaker into the mains and connect the other, passive, speaker via conventional speaker cable. Next, plug in your music source directly and you're good to go - no extra amp required.
Hi-Fi sound
Versatile and easy to use, the Pioneer DM40s are also genuine hi-fi speakers. Their soft dome tweeters give a smooth and detailed treble response. For the bass and mid-range, fibreglass woofers backed up by bass reflex ports provide a punchy and upbeat sound.
Designed to perform
The cabinets' curved front edges provide maximum rigidity and minimum resonance for a clean sound at all volumes - and they'll look great in your home set-up.
Designed for ease of use
A headphone output and volume knob on the front panel give you flexibility and control, while the RCA and stereo mini jack inputs on the back let you easily connect the speakers to your DJ or production kit.
Plug in and listen out loud, with the Pioneer DM40 active DJ speakers.

Exceptional Value
I've only had limited experience with industry-standard audio equipment, so take this review with a decent pinch of salt. I wouldn’t expect to see these monitors in any remotely professional setting, nor would I be happy to see them outside of a casual home studio, but in exactly that environment, they are extremely close to perfect. I bought a pair of these for myself on a spur-of-the-moment decision, and paid just under £150 for them on Amazon. I’ve had them for just over a week now, and I’m already convinced enough by their value to write this review. Even though I paid more than £20 above the proper retail price, I still think they were more than worth it. There are a few reasons contributing to my opinion, the main one being Pioneer’s approach to marketing. We live in a world where everything is the “best” option, and every product is apparently a “must-have” for potential success in the rapidly evolving music industry. Pioneer, on the other hand, offer no-nonsense, down-to-earth, honestly adequate quality products, demonstrated by the DM-40s. By no means am I saying the company is flawless, I undoubtedly believe they have exploited their dominance over the DJ equipment market with the CDJ and Nexus mixer product lines, but in these times you have no choice but to accept the lesser of all evils. My apologies for the tangent, back on topic now. Pioneer have delivered an unreasonably good value product in the DM-40, and I can only hope this is a result of them putting their recent success from their dominance in the DJ hardware market to good use. These monitors are unquestionably the best value for money for any beginner producer or DJ with even a relatively small budget. At just over £100 from the right vendor, the quality you can receive for the price is invaluable. Everyone who buys these should definitely have the opportunity to know they won't be able to produce any industry-standard masters solely with them, but I believe they are by far the best starting point for any aspiring artist. With the insane increase in cost of what is considered to be professional audio equipment at this time, the next generation of producers simply have no choice but to opt for the most reasonably priced and best value equipment. The DM-40s are potentially the perfect starting point.

Unbeatable Value
Make no mistake, these speakers cost £129 at the time of this review, and their quality is just about representative of this price.

Refreshingly honest
I bought these from Amazon for just shy of £150, while I know I could have gotten them cheaper if I’d spent more time looking for better couriers, I am still very satisfied with my purchase. These monitors are far from what you’d want in a professional studio, but nothing you’d listen from in a professional studio can be bought for even double the price of the DM-40s. These speakers get 5 stars, not only for the exceptional quality considering the price, but also the absence of unfaithful marketing. In a world of very few trustworthy brands in the music industry, Pioneer continues to deliver products to a highly respectable standard at every price point. For even as high as the £145 I carelessly paid for these monitors, they are still wholly worth it. Nothing spectacular sonically, but a refreshingly honest and quality option for the beginner producer or DJ.

Good value for money.
Bought this as a gift along with a record player, the sound quality is great especially considering the price range. I had a few issues with my order and was a bit disappointed with the web sales customer service, to the point where it was just easier to go into store to resolve. In store they were extremely helpful and fixed the problem.

Good sound for the price
The sound is clear and precise for the price. Obviously lacks bass due to the size, however I don’t think you can really go wrong with these speakers.
