TASCAM'S latest breakthrough for home recording is the VL-A series of reference monitors, a value-priced lineup of great-sounding reference monitors. The lineup includes the VL-A4, VL-A5 and VL-A8, which are 4", 5" and 8" two-way reference monitors. Each of the models is self-powered and employs balanced TRS/XLR combination inputs. A deep-cabinet design with bass ports (front-mounted on the VL-A5 and VL-A8) extends the low end beyond similarly-priced units. High and low frequency controls on the VL-A5 and VL-A8 allow the user to tailor the monitors response to their own studio.

Also available is the LF-S8 subwoofer, an 8" ported design which extends the range of the monitor system for productions that demand deep bass response. Just as PortaStudio democratized recording for the home musician, the VL-A series brings precise monitoring performance and striking industrial design to the home studio.

LF-S8:

• 8" subwoofer
• 50W active design
• Direct radiating bass reflex 8" woofers with top air port
• Deep cabinet design for rich low frequency playback

• Cascade output for additional subwoofer

• Frequency Response (1W @ 1m): 30Hz - 120Hz +/-3dB
• Dimension (W x H x D): 13.4" x 13.4" x 13.4" (340 x 340 x 340 mm)
