Why the VM series?
Pioneer DJ’s VM range is built for people who want club-style punch and honest, mix-ready detail. Across the VM-50, VM-70 and VM-80 you get:
-
Clean power + smart brains: Class-D amps with 96 kHz DSP for wide-band clarity and low distortion.
-
Tight, fast low end: Aramid-fiber woofers plus a Vortex Bass Accelerator port keep bass punchy without chuffing.
-
Smooth highs, wide sweet spot: 1" silk-dome tweeter with a constant-directivity horn spreads the sound evenly.
-
Rugged, low-resonance build: 4 mm aluminium front baffle on a rigid enclosure reduces vibration and keeps transients sharp.
-
Room-friendly tuning: Physical Low EQ and High EQ knobs (4 positions each = 16 DSP voicings) so you can go from flat to club-bass or tame bright rooms in seconds.
Quick model guide (pick by room size & bass needs)
| Model | Woofer | Max SPL | Freq range | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VM-50 | 5.25" | 107 dB | 40 Hz – 36 kHz | Bedroom studios, DJ practice in smaller rooms, streaming desks. Also available in white (VM-50-W). |
| VM-70 | 6.5" | 112 dB | 37 Hz – 36 kHz | Small–medium rooms, balanced producing/DJing with extra headroom and low-end authority. |
| VM-80 | 8" | 115 dB | 34 Hz – 36 kHz | Medium–larger rooms, bass-heavy music, feeling the kick without a sub. |
All models include combo XLR/TRS (balanced) + RCA (unbalanced) inputs, so they’ll happily connect to DJ controllers, audio interfaces, mixers and media players.
Who are they for?
-
Bedroom & mobile DJs: Dial in CLUB BASS and get a booth-like feel without muddying your mids.
-
Producers (house/techno/EDM, hip-hop): Run FLAT for arranging/mixing; flip to ROOM presets to compensate for untreated rooms.
-
Streamers & content creators: Compact footprint (especially VM-50), clean I/O, and voicings that translate well to headphones/phones.
-
Education & rehearsal spaces: Tough baffle, predictable voicings, and enough output (VM-70/80) for small labs and ensemble rooms.

VM-50 (Black or White)
-
Power: 30 W LF + 30 W HF (Class-D, 96 kHz DSP)
-
Freq / SPL: 40 Hz–36 kHz / 107 dB

Power: 90 W LF + 30 W HF (Class-D, 96 kHz DSP)
-
Freq / SPL: 34 Hz–36 kHz / 115 dB

Real-world setups & uses
-
DJ practice booth: Pair any VM with your controller or all-in-one via RCA (unbalanced) or go balanced XLR/TRS from a mixer/audio interface to reduce hum. Use L3 ROOM 2 for a little extra thump at low volumes; L1 ROOM 1 if the speakers sit close to a wall.
-
Production desk: Start on FLAT/FLAT for tracking and mixing; bump H4 BRIGHT TREBLE if you need more air while editing transient-rich material.
-
Content creation & lessons: VM-50s are perfect for compact desks; the aluminium baffle keeps dialog crisp for voice-over and Zoom sessions.
