Desk sizes and rack storage
Soundmaker DTM desk comes in four standard sizes to suit different spaces.
- PF-140 (140 cm wide / 24U) and PF-160 (160 cm wide / 24U): models for compact production setups
- PF-180 (180 cm wide / 32U) and PF-220 (220 cm wide / 32U): models for those who need more work surface and rack capacity
With up to 32U of rack space, you can bring rack-mounted effects, preamps, and other equipment together inside the desk.
Even the 24U models offer enough capacity for a typical production setup and are designed to keep essential equipment neatly organized.
Made-to-order options also include Type B and Type C models with up to 40U of rack capacity for larger production setups.
The range of sizes makes it easier to match the desk to the scale of your workspace.
Pull-out MIDI-keyboard tray
Under the desktop is a dedicated pull-out tray for a MIDI keyboard that keeps the instrument within easy reach.
Keyboard capacity varies by model: PF-220 and PF-180 can hold up to 88 keys, PF-160 up to 76 keys, and PF-140 up to 61 keys.
When you are not using the MIDI keyboard, slide it away to free up more work surface.
Pull it out when you are ready to play.
Music production often involves switching between mouse work and keyboard performance, so the tray is a practical way to make that workflow more efficient.
Spaces for monitor speakers and a monitor stand
The Soundmaker DTM desk includes dedicated spaces for monitor speakers in its layout.
With speaker placement planned into the design, the overall desk layout stays tidy.
The monitor stand also adjusts in height so you can position your display for comfortable viewing.
Separate spaces for the speakers and monitor stand make it easier to arrange your equipment around your production setup.
Materials and heat-dissipation design
The desk uses a combination of steel and wood in its construction.
Its steel frame provides strength, while the wooden work surface gives it a warmer look and feel.
The rack-storage section also has a design that helps heat dissipate when equipment runs for long periods.
Customization and optional extras
Several customization options are available alongside the standard Soundmaker DTM desk models.
The side panels can be ordered in different colors to suit your room or preferences, at an additional charge.
Custom orders for the height of the legs and the desk's size are also available if none of the standard dimensions works for you.
An optional 10U Studio Rack expands the available rack storage further.
An assembly service is also available at a flat rate of ¥22,000 throughout Japan, including tax. This may help if you are concerned about assembling a large desk yourself.
All models also come with a two-year warranty from the date of delivery as standard.
