The Akai RPM8 reference production studio monitor is specifically designed for use with MPC music production workstations and production controllers. The RPM8 studio monitors are 2-way, active, bi-amplified, nearfield loudspeakers made for producers, recording engineers, remix artists, DJs and other musicians.

The 2-way monitors each feature an 8" woven-kevlar low-frequency driver with 80W RMS of continuous amplification for robust, full bass all the way down to 39 Hz. The monitors' high-frequency system consists of a 1" silk-dome tweeter with 40W RMS of continuous amplification, mounted on a custom, functionally optimized waveguide for excellent control of directivity and reduction of unwanted early reflections. The RPM8 studio monitors contain active, fourth-order crossovers for outstanding separation and optimal power management. Their cabinet is constructed of industry-standard MDF for low resonance and is dually ported on the front baffle for bass extension in any setting, including soffit-mounted installations.

The bi-amplification, ported cabinet design and overall acoustical efficiency combine to produce a speaker that can deliver up to powerful 113 dB SPL and with accurate frequency response from 39Hz to 20 kHz. The RPM8 monitors feature a bicolor LED clip indicator, which assists in avoiding damage to your system. You can connect professional studio systems to the RPM8's combination XLR-balanced 14" TRS inputs for compatibility with a wide variety of source equipment.
