Take these portable monitors with you to your next gig -- At the 2011 NAMM Show, Numark introduced its new NPM100 professional DJ monitors.

Numark's NPM100 is a complete active speaker system with built-in amplifiers. Designed to work perfectly for bars, practice studios, small to medium-sized setups, or anywhere else a DJ might perform, these 100W monitors are said to be compact, portable, and powerful.

The NPM100's 100W RMS (200W peak) extended-range dual 5" drivers accurately reproduce music for DJs, musicians, or anyone looking for pro-quality sound, Numark says. Thanks to a standard stereo RCA line input, the NPM100 works with virtually all music gear. The built-in gain control allows for quick adjustments when used without a mixer and the 1/4-inch / XLR combi input allows for unbalanced or balanced inputs. A sensitivity switch toggles between +6 dB for use with mixers and -45 dB for direct connection of a mic to ensure that no matter what the gig might hold, NPM100 monitors can handle it. A convenient red LED indicator is also present to indicate whenever a signal is clipping so levels can be adjusted accordingly.

NPM100 features:

• Active monitor speaker
• 100W RMS / 200W peak power amplifier
• 2 x 5" Extended range drivers
• Molded plastic impact resistant cabinets
• Mic / Line XLR balanced and RCA Stereo inputs
• Mic / Line sensitivity switch
• Line Link out with XLR
• Power indication LED with LED Clipping indicator
• Place in Profile or landscape positions
• Bottom and side fixing mount points

"Every DJ or musician needs a solid set of active monitors," said Simon Bangs, Project Manager of Numark. He continues, "With [the] NPM100 they can have professional quality sound in an easily-to-transport mobile speaker system with all the right inputs."

The Numark NPM100 professional DJ monitor will be available in the first quarter of 2011 for $249 (MSRP) or $149.95 (estimated Street). For more information, please visit numark.com.
