DVADigital Vertical Array
DVA. The Digital Vertical Array.
Line array technology has revolutionized sound reinforcement, particularly for large venues and events. Arraying several
speaker cabinets vertically is a far more effective method of delivering and directing sound. Line array‘s signal levels do
not drop off as steeply with increasing distance as is the case with conventional systems. What‘s more, their patterns
of throw are very wide despite the systems‘ lean configurations. Until recently this technology saw limited use
mainly in large, elaborate, and costly projects and installations. But with arrival of DVA, true line array technology
is now available for a wide range of portable and permanent sound reinforcement applications.
Factoring all the many different parameters and users‘ needs into the design equation, the dBTechnologies
team of engineers developed a line array system that is easy to configure, exceedingly light, and tremendously versatile. What‘s more, the managed to take all these vital criteria into account without imposing
limits on curving capacity and the number of arrayed components. Called DVA, this system makes the
most of line array technology‘s considerable audio benefits.
Leveraging state-of-the-art technologies, materials, and many years experience developing powered speaker systems, dBTechnologies has turned up a line array series that raises the performance bar for handling, versatility, and return on investment.
dBTechnologies has a competitive edge. Our engineers‘ deep insight into power electronics,
DSP programming, acoustics, mechanics, mater ials, and manufacturing practices enables us
to independently develop innovative solutions in each of these areas. Such comprehensive
R&D proficiency puts us in a unique position: We are able to transform inspired ideas into
premium-quality products that deliver outstanding performance at an unrivalled pricepoint.
The DVA series stands as a shining example of this all-around ability. Nowhere are the
benefits of integrated amps, active crossovers, and processor-dr iven control more apparent than in DVA three-way line array units.
• Fully powered units, freely scalable to setups of any size
• None of the impedance and amp channel availability
concerns associated with passive models
• Lossless signal path with no need for speaker cables
• Extremely tough yet remarkably light enclosures
• Digital controller (DSP) onboard for utmost operating safety

DVAT12 – 3-Way Active Line Array Module
T1 – 3-Way Active Line Array Module
DVA T12 is a step up the evolutionary ladder from the successful DVA T4 line array system. Alt-
hough it provides more power and has greater range, its active three-way design makes it just
as easy to set up and install as its predecessor.
The DVA T12 features state-of-the-art neodymium speakers and high- performance digital
amps with total of 1,410W output power. In combination with top-drawer DSP and premium-
quality AD-DA transformers, it delivers high- definition sonic images with massive SPL for
large sound reinforcement applications.
Weighing just 29 kg, this remarkably compact unit belies its unobtrusive look by enabling
you to set up very powerful line arrays that deliver extraordinary performance.

RDnet for networked remote surveillance and control
Factory-equipped with an RDnet port, the DVA T12 is ready for integration into complex, remotely controlled and monitored DVA sound reinforcement
systems. RJ45 inputs and outputs connect it to the RDnet hub. The RDnet link enables the sound tech to adjust presets, levels, and all other key parameters conveniently at the FOH location.
The tech‘s PC receives data concerning temperature, limiter status, levels, and all further operating parameters in real time. The RDnet HUB interfaces
with the PC via LAN, WLAN, or USB. All the necessary adjustments for the individual DVA T12 modules may be made off-line when planning the sound
reinforcement system. The stored program can be transmitted if the system is already installed on site.
Often a large PA system must be adapted to meet different needs during an event. Some areas may no longer require coverage, or a different type of
performance necessitates a different setup. This system can be adapted any time within seconds via RDnet. The DVA T12‘s low-end complement is the
equally network-ready DVA S30 subwoofer. It sp orts two 18“ woofers, a bass reflex horn, and a 3kW power amp. To learn more about it, see the chapter
entitled Active Subwoofer.

DVAT12
Top performance paired with total control
digipro® digital power amps Compact yet remarkably powerful
The DVA T12 sports three Class-D digipro® power amps, one for each signal path. They deliver 710W to the 12“ woofer and 350W each to the two 6.5“ midrange woofers and three
1“ drivers. Embodying the latest advance in digital high-performance amps, the technology behind digipro® pairs maximum power with minimum weight and size. The amps‘
remarkable power translates to massive SPL and unprecedented dynamic response and
transparency, supp or ted by with muscul ar low-end perfor mance even in com pact systems
• 1410 W Class-D power amps
• High performance and transparency with true dynamic response
Effortless setup, configured at the touch of a button
The DVA T12‘s DSP offers eight system presets that adapt the unit to its assigned task in
the array. They tweak the gain structure and EQ for the near-field/ midfield and far-field
positions to compensate for high frequencies absorbed by air, and for low/ midrange
frequency coupling as the array length increases.
No further manual adjustments are necessary. All presets may be selected using the rearmounted rotary encoder or downloaded from a PC using RDnet software.
• Simplest system configuration
• Very fast setup
High-performance DSP for stellar dynamics and authenticity
The DVA T12‘s signal processor and AD/DA converter were engineered to achieve transcendent sound quality with great dynamic range and fidelity. To this end, it features 136-dB
input dynamic range and 56 -bit digital signal processing at a sampling rate of 96 kHz.
The DSP offers a full set of signal processing features. The toolbox includes top-drawer
crossovers with steep slopes and all the EQ functions you need for the given signal path. It
aligns phases and time, and provides digital peak, RMS, and thermal limiters for maximum
headroom, performance, and operat ing safety even at peak levels.
• Excellent audio specs
• Perfect system equalization
06
Keeping it safe with switched-mode power supplies
featuring PFC
The DVA T12‘s power-plant is an independent network equipped with the latest IT technology to achieve maximum safety, efficiency, and performance. A
secondar y power supply feeds five microcontrollers and the DSP, and serves to
ramp up check routines and the main power supply. A smart IPOS™ (Intelligent
Power-On Sequence) circuit controls the sequence in which the main power
supplies of all DVA T12 units within an array ramp up. It staggers the timing ever
so slightly to keep the overall system‘s inrush current low.
The main 1,500W SMPS power the amps. Their PFC (power factor correction)
capability enables the system to run on mains voltages from 90V and 265V without any manual adjustments. This ensures peak performance even under adverse condit ions, for instance at gigs where lengthy power feeds cause voltages
to drop. This is yet another area in which digipro® outperforms conventional
amps. With more than 90% yield, it is so very efficient that it does not require
fans, making it an even safer and totally maintenance-free amp.
• Wide-range 90V - 40V SMPS
• IPOS™ circuit for low inrush current
Integrated LDN for utmost reliability
Reliability is a top prior ity in modern PA systems. This is why the DVA T12 comes
with a fast and efficient local data network (LDN) comprising a main CPU and
four ancillary CPUs. Each microprocessor manages its assigned component, for
example, the HF amp, processing temperature, voltage, current, impedance,
input, output, and other data independently and continuously.
The main CPU captures and evaluates the ancillary CPUs‘ data streams in real
time, detecting problems such as an internal defect in a power amp channel
or speaker. Only the affected channel is muted to prevent noise. Temperature
is monitored constantly. The power amp does not shut down if the temperature rises above the defined limit. Instead, the input level is attenuated in small
temperature-contingent increments to allow the amp to cool down.
The main CPU tracks the operat ing status, recording this data in a log file that
may be exported via the USB port on the rear panel. If the RDnet is up and
running, the T12 even sends an error report to the PC, which speeds up and
simplifies considerably the task of servicing the module.
• Real-time operating status monitoring
• Log file for status reports

DVAT12 Components of consummate quality
Components of consummate quality
The global group of dBTechnologies companies develops and manufactures individual speaker components autonomously, and often specifically for the
given application. We do not subscribe to the practice of equalizing and optimizing speakers with elaborate technology to bring them up to our standards.
Instead, it has been our long-standing policy to build from the bottom up components with specs tailored to deliver the best audio performance for the
application.
Take, for example, the DVA series: We teamed up with our eminent affiliate RCF® to develop speaker components unrivalled in this class. Made of highestquality materials such as Mylar and titanium and featuring neodymium magnets, DVA series components deliver extraordinary performance, high SPL, and
lowest distortion. And they‘re surprisingly light to boot.
Accurate and awesomely efficient midrange
response
The DVA T12‘s two 6.5“ neodymium woofers are placed close together to
maximize coherent coupling and response for those critical midrange frequencies. The speaker resides in a sealed basket to optimize the displacement volume. This makes the woofer even more responsive.
With a high BL factor, it reacts far faster to transients and renders each
attack with awesome accuracy. Both 6.5“ woofers are equipped with an
optimized phase plug and feed into a frontloaded horn to achieve a uniform coverage pattern.
• Three 1“ neodymium HF drivers
• Extended range
High-definition top end
The 1“ neodymium HF drivers feature 1.5“ Mylar diaphragms. Exceptionally
light and responsive, they deliver richly detailed signals with remarkably
linear frequency response.
Specially developed for use in line arrays, these ultra compact drivers may
be deployed in very close proximity to one another. This is essential to
minimize inter ference in such arrays.
The DVA T12 is loaded with three HF drivers tuned specifically for the custom-designed array horn. This combination maximizes the coupling of
the drivers‘ outputs and extends the range of the HF signal.
• Three 1“ neodymium HF drivers
• Extended range
08
Tough, light hybrid polypropylene enclosure
The DVA T12‘s housing marks a milestone in the development and manufacture of polypropylene enclosures. Its surface is immune to
knocks and scratches, and fully resistant to water and moisture. A sophisticated internal bracing system reinforces the housing and
minimizes resonance.
The DVA T12 also features an aluminum endoskeleton that connects components and further reinforces the housing. The cabinet‘s
elaborate, heavy-duty construction makes it a rugged and road-ready unit that lives up to the highest standards for weather-proofing.
A rain cover integrated into the rear panel protects circuitry and connections so this powered unit may be deployed in virtually all
conditions.
• Aluminum-reinforced polypropylene housing
• Light yet exceedingly durable
Consistent coverage pattern
The DVA T12 features constant directivity horns, HF drivers, and midrange
woofers optimized to deliver a uniform 100°-by-10° coverage pattern. The
DVA makes the most of two acoustical effects to help distribute SPL evenly.
One is the vector addition of individual horns‘ output, with the other being
cylindrical wave formation. The coverage pattern may be adapted to suit
the sound reinforcement application by varying the length of the array and
adjusting the splay between indiv idual components.
• Uniform 100°-by-10° coverage pattern
• Evenly distributed SPL
Extended low-end performance
A 12“ neodymium woofer in a band-pass housing covers the low frequency range. Remarkably powerful, it packs an assertive punch that reaches
down to 60 Hz to enable fullrange applications.
The 12“ woofer is slanted inside the housing, lending the cabinet a lean,
unobtrusive look.
• 1“ neodymium woofer
• Fullrange capability from 60Hz up
09
DVAHandling, stacking, and flying the T12
Rigging hardware built in
The DVA T12 features built-in precision rigging hardware with stainless steel quick-release pins so that no
external hardware is required. The splay between enclosures may be adjusted in 1.5° and 2° increments to
configure the array and align the system‘s coverage pattern.
An easier way to fly
With each unit weighing just 29.9 kg, the system is easily and quickly
set up. The curvature is adjustable from 0° to 10° in 1.5° and 2° steps. A
line array system delivers its best per formance when flown, so fly ing
the rig is always the first choice.
The DRK-20 harness accommodates up to 20 flown DVA T12 modules.
It is equipped with precision inclinat ion-adjusting rails enabling the
stack to be flown from a single pick-point. The DAS-4 adapter at-
taches to the bottom cabinet and secures the rig to the truss with
half-couplers and a pipe. We recommend using this adapter to prevent the stack from twisting and swinging.
• Lightweight solution for single-point loads
• Precision alignment
10
The combination of DVA S10 subwoofers and DVA T12 mid-/high-range units packs plenty of power, punch, and range to render signals
across the full frequency spectrum. This setup is the preferred option
in venues where bass bins cannot be set on the floor, or where optimum coverage for bleachers or balconies is desired.
You can fly bass bins to lengthen the array and extend the near-field,
achieve even better acoustical coupling, and maximize the various signal paths‘ time alignment.
• Extendable with flown bass bins
Ground stacks
Compatible with DVA T4 units
DRK-10 and DRK 20 harnesses can also serve to stack cabinets on the
ground when rigging points are unavailable or the ceiling is too low. A
special bracket adjusts the inclination down to 7.5°. The DRK-10/20 fit s perfectly on an upright DVA S30 subwoofer. Equipped with two receptacles
for quick-release pins, it is readily attached without tools.
The DVA S30 subwoofer sports two 18“ speakers, a bass reflex horn, a
3000W power amp, and an internal DSP.
(To learn more about it, see the chapter entitled Active Subwoofer).
• Line array benefits in ground-stacked configurations
DVA T12 and DVA T4 series housings and rigging hardware are compatible.
This means DVA T4 units may be flown right below a T12 array for use as
down-fills in large PA systems.
For an added acoustical benefit, both systems‘ driver sections are in line
so that they generate phase-correct high-frequency additions.
• Compatible DVA T4 can serve as down-fill extension
in large systems
Power supply
The PFC switched-mode power supply allows up to four DVA T12 units
to be connected to one phase. When connecting large systems (up to 12
units), we recommend splitting up the power feed using a 16A CEKON
adapter, tapped and spliced to feed three weatherproofed PowerCon connectors. The cable measures 15 m.

Innovative digital amps, analog sound
The DVA T4 is equipped with unique digital power amps that provide a
total of 420W RMS. Dr iven by Class-T™ technology, their resolution is several-fold that of conventional digital amps. They render signals very accurately with this high-definition audio capability. Sonic images are almost
impossible to distinguish from those of analog sources, even in the HF
range. The amps are equipped with high-quality delta-sigma conver ters.
Another advantage of these state-of-the-art digital amps is their remarkable efficiency, which is far greater than 90 percent. Without fans built in
to cool the amps, they run quieter and weigh less. This audiophile per formance comes in a very petite package: One T4 unit weights just 13.2 kg.
This makes it a treat to handle and allows it to be flown from pick-points
with less load-bearing capacity.
• Highly efficient digital power amp
• Very low weight
PFC-Switchmode supply
The DVA T4 has an integrated active PFC-Switchmode supply. It is very
lightweight and has an effi ciency of almost 90%, which enables up to 8
DVA T4 to be driven safely on only one 230V/16A wire.
The supply works on voltages from 85-260V, so it will accept all different
mains worldwide, even under the worse conditions.
• Wide-range 90V - 40V switched-mode power supply
Sweeping dynamic range
The DVA T4‘s digital power amp features DPP™ (Digital Power Processing)
technology and a multiband compressor/ limiter with separate response
curves for each signal path. Its dynamic range is exceptionally wide.
For example, headroom in the middle and high-frequency bands ranges
up to 22dB. This innovat ive circuitry not only maximizes dynamic response, it also ensures signals are rendered accurately and uniformly even
at threshold levels.
Easy Setup
The DVA T4‘s DSP is equipped with various system presets that configure
the unit for its assigned task in the array.
They adjust the gain structure and EQ to the near-field/ midfield and farfield positions to compensate for high frequencies absorbed by air and for
low/ midrange frequency coupling as the array length increases so that
further manual adjustments are necessary.
Integrated DSP for utmost reliability
Alongside the multiband compressor/ limiter, the T4‘s analog input section also sports an analog limiter to max imize signal conditioning and
operating reliability.
The integrated DSP not only performs audio tasks, it also monitors the
entire power amp. If, for example, it detects an internal defect in a power
amp channel, only this channel is muted to prevent noise.
The DSP also monitors continuously the power amp‘s temperature. If the
temperature rises above the defined limit, the power amp does not shut
down. Instead, the input level is gradually attenuated in temperature -contingent increments.

DVA
Components of consummate quality
Components of consummate quality
We teamed up with our eminent affiliate RCF® to develop speaker components unrivalled in this
class.
Made of highest-quality materials such as Mylar and titanium and sporting neodymium ma-
gnets, the DVA T4 delivers extraordinary performance, high SPL, and lowest distortion - all in a
package that weighs just 13.8 kg.
14
Constant Directivity
The DVA T4 Top is equipped with a constant directiv ity horn for the High and Mid section
and offers a nominal coverage angle of 100°x15°. The CD-Horn provides high flexibility and
a good natured attitude if for instance the Array is not aligned correctly.
The DVA uses apart from the formation of cylindrical waves (very much depending on the
number of T4 elements) the vector summing of the individual horns. This means that with
growing distance to the source (if set up correctly) the listener perceives more and more vector
sums of the single elements.
However it has to be considered, that the fewer elements are used to spread the sound to a
specific area, the stronger must be the curving of them. That’s how the effect of optimised SPL
distribution is managed.
State-of-the-Art Drivers
The build in 1”Neodymium- Drivers are equipped with a 1.4” Mylar- Membrane which allow a very quick
response and provide a linear frequency range at a surprisingly low weight.
This driver was specially designed for the use with Line-Arrays. Its compact measurements allow very
close proximity which is a main factor for minimum interference.
Reliability
The 8“ Neodymium-Woofer is equipped with a high power
2.5“ voice coil to provide superior sound pressure level in
a very compact size.
High Efficiency
The 6.5“ Neodymium-Midrange speaker has a sealed
basket to provide an optimized volume capac ity including high sensitivity and superb sound reproduction. It
also has a horn exit including phase plug for defined
and linear sound emission.

DVA
Handling, stacking, and flying the DVA T4
Handling, stacking, and flying the DVA T4
The DVA T4 Line-Array element has a sensational weight of only 13,2kg. The obvious advantage for hand-
ling and transport also makes flying possible where under normal circumstances the trussing is not
strong enough to support also flying of the audio devices - an Array of six T4 Tops therefore weighs less
than 120 kg.
Transport
For an easy transport of 3-4 DVA T4 elements, the DTF-4 dolly is opti-
onally available. In this case, the Array is directly fixed by the flypins
onto the dolly. A separate fixture for the flybar is integrated. The
DWK-4 is fitted with four Bluewheels and can be equipped either
with a protection cover or, after dismantling the wheels, mounted
onto the bottom of a flight case. This frame can also be used for
groundstacking for 1 to 4 DVA modules, for example for upward
sound distribution to the stand of a football stadium or as a nearfill
at front stage.
Groundstacking
In case there are no possibilities to fly the system or the ceiling of
the venue is not high enough, the DRK-10 can be used for groundstacking too. A special bracket provides an inclination up to 7.5°.
The DRK-10 fits exactly onto the surface of an upright positioned
DVA S20 subwoofer and can be mounted by two M10 threads on
top of the sub.
The combination of a DVA S10 subwoofer and a DSA-4 pole mount
adaptor holding up to three DVA T4 mid-/high- range units is a great
solution for smaller applications and for delay zone sound reinforce-
ment. The continuously adjustable DSA-4 adaptor lets you aim the
mid-/high-range units
.
Flying the cabinets
DRP Rain Cover
16
The DVA T4 comes w ith precisely engineered flying hardware. The hard-
ware in combination with the extremely low weight of a T4 top allows easy
and fast setup of the whole system. The curving can be adjusted in steps of
2.5° within a range of 0° and 15°. For an optimum of performance the system
should be principally flown. The DRK-10 flying frame holds up to 16 T4. For
professional handling the frame is well balanced and the angle of inclination
can be corrected with the upper rear flying rails.
The DAS- 4 adapter attaches to the bottom cabinet and secures the rig to the
truss with half-couplers and a pipe. We recommend using this adapter to prevent
the stack from twisting and swinging
The combination of DVA S10 subwoofers and DVA T4 mid-/high-range units in a
flown array packs a mighty fullrange punch with serious SPL. This setup is the preferred configuration in venues where you are unable to place bass bins on the floor
or where you w ish to cover bleachers or balconies.
ZubehörAccessories
DVA Setup with EASE Focus
EASE Focus makes confi guring a DVA system so much easier because
this software simulates the system in the virtual realm. Flown arrays
with S10 subwoofers or stacked arrays with S10 and S20 bins are readily
visualized. It can depict several audience target zones at the same time
to map out more intricate venues comprising different coverage areas
such as arenas, bleachers, and balconies.
Color 2D graphics provide an easily understood view of throw patterns
and sound pressure levels so you can confi gure the array for the best
possible results. It also offers you easy access to key rigging parameters such as the height of the r igging frame, the choice of pick points,
the array’s curvature, total weight, and system preset selections.
DSA-4 Pole Mount Adaptor
The DSA-4 Pole Mount Adaptor holds up to three DVA T4 modules on
single pole. A set screw adjusts the tilt angle smoothly rather than in
stepped increments, enabling ultra-precise alignment. A scale on the
side of the adaptor indicates the selected angle. Paired with an S10
subwoofer, this adaptor makes it so easy to set up three-way systems
for smaller applications.
DRP Rain protection
The optional DRP rain protection can be easily clipped onto the backpanel of the T4 units to protect the amplifier and connectors against

dBTechnologies. The Subwoofer Company
High-performance bass woofers
DVA bass bins are loaded with state-of-the-art, high-per formance subwoofers. Equipped with light neodymium magnets and voice coils with
diameters up to 4“, these units‘ load handling capacity is extremely high,
and their transient response is remarkably faithful.
The dual ventilation system minimizes heat buildup and power compression while helping to maximize loading handling capacity and reliability.
The woofers feature a fiberglass-reinforced diaphragm, an exceedingly
robust triple-roll surround, and a geometrically optimized cone. All this
culminates in peak-to-peak excursion capabilities ranging up to 48 mm.
Easy to set up
The subwoofers sport an integrated active X-over (stereo S08 and S09)
with two crossover frequencies and a phase inversion switch. Optionally
available for S10 and S20 models, the SDD (Subwoofer Digital Delay) module delays the bass signal.
This serves to align the times of a flown T4 array, for example, when you
want place subwoofers in front of the stage and fly the array flush with the
stage to provide ground support.
Three recessed knobs set the delay time precisely to within 0.01 ms. The
SDD module has a bypass switch to defeat the delay function, and an XLR
output that serves to connect further subwoofers to the delay.
Powerful amp performance
These subwoofers come with 800 to 3,0 00W RMS digipro® digital power
amps on board. Their state-of-the-art Class- D power amp technology packs
huge performance into an astonishingly light chassis.
This digipro® technology is tremendously efficient with more than 90%
yield, so there is no need for fans. This also enhances operating reliability,
so mechanical components require no maintenance. The amps are equipped with PFC switched-mode power supplies. They are immune to line voltage fluctuations, which is a great advantage particularly in a touring rig.
PowerCon In and Out* connectors provide mains power to the subwoofers. The X-Over-Out patches the signal to the mid-/high-range units.
* On S20 and S30 subwoofers only
Built tough for touring
Made of sturdy birch multiplex covered in robust black textured lacquer, the
subwoofer housing is fronted with a rugged speaker grille. The enclosure is
easy to tote with its comfortable carrying handles.
Optional dust covers protect it on the go. With 16 threaded bushings each
on their rear panels, the S09, S10 and S20 bins are ready to accept Blue
Wheels. Retrofitted with the appropriate fly kit, S09 and S10 subwoofers are
easily rigged and flown.

It delivers very powerful performance indeed with a range extending down to the lowest frequencies. This sub-bass power-
house is the perfect addition to large PAs and an excellent complement to DVA T12 mid-/high-range units in stacked arrays.
Bass reflex horn housing
This sophisticated hybrid design brings together the benefits of bass reflex and horn systems in a compact housing en-
gineered to render low frequencies with high SPL. The two baffle boards are arrayed in the form of a V. They guide the
central bass reflex channel‘s sound energy into the horn‘s port.
This funneling action is smooth and uniform, greatly increasing its range. The high-quality birch multiplex housing is
covered in robust black textured lacquer and equipped with eight grips. On the back is a transport dolly that removes
easily via quick-release pins to keep the wheels from rattling.

DVXDigital 2-Way Active Speakers
PWM Amp Technology
Setting new reference standards for digital high-performance amps, digipro® technology packs a great deal performance into a remarkably light package
with a small footprint. These efficient amps do not require fans because they generate little heat. Small and light yet very powerful, they can drive even compact systems to deliver high performance, faithful dynamic response unprecedented in its true-to-nature accuracy, and extremely muscular low end. All DVX
Series models feature highly efficient switched-mode power supplies with power factor correction. This PFC ensures the devices get the juice they need to
perform at their peak even under challenging conditions, for example, when dealing with low voltage supplies at live events.
Power Densitiy
digipro® Class-D power amp technology packs huge performance and operating
efficiency into a lightweight solution that leaves a very small footprint. With its remarkable 1:1 power-output-to-weight ratio, this technology brings highest per
mance capability to compact speaker systems. What’s more, it is also phenomenally
easy to handle. digipro® - the high-End Powerpack.
Audiophile performance
for-
Power amps need a great deal of headroom to render natural audio events as authentically as possible. It takes a high-voltage power supply to provide this kind of
headroom. digipro® delivers exce eding ly hi gh performan ce ranging up to 10 00W/
RMS, providing the dynamic range required for faithful, true-to- nature reproduction of every input signal. This power, paired with an ultra fast attack and truly
realistic transient response, y ields impressive audio performance that rivals that
of very elaborate and expensive tube circuits. With a high pulse frequency of 500
KHz, this technology is able to deliver high-definition, high-fidelity audio signals
with richly detailed yet natural-sounding top end.
Full Class-D - Maximum Efficiency
In contrast to many other so-called “digital” power amps that merely run on a clocked switched-mode power supply, digipro® is a fullfledged Class-Dpoweramp
that operates on the principle of pulse width modulation (PWM). This technology is
tremendously efficient with more than 90% yield. Componentsremain very cool
because so little energy is lost in the form of heat. No fansare necessary. What’s
more, components last longer and operate more reliably courtesy of the reduced
thermal load.
Maximum Performance
digipro® power amps come with highly advanced, ultra efficient switched-mode
power supplies (SMPS) with active power factor correction (PFC). They provide all
the juice amps need to deliver peak performance even when mains power quality is
poor, for example, when low power feeds at live events cause voltages to dip. This
makes SMPS far superior to conventional power supplies.

Power and Intelligence
digipro® technology synchronizes power stages and control circuits, creating an
intelligent, responsive protection and super vision system. An integrated processor
controls the ongoing interaction between the audio signal, switched-mode power
supply, and PWM output stages, and processes key information.
• digipro® monitors impedance and shuts down in case of short-circuit.
• Thermal limiters attenuate performance if the unit runs hot.
• Peak and RMS limiters protect speakers.

Rigging harnesses for DVX D8, D10, D1 and D15
Quick-release pins attach DTF rigging harnesses to enclosures’ side panels - no further tools necessar y
and no more hassles tightening and loosening eyebolts. This is a tried-and-true rigging method borro-
wed from line arrays, used for the first time in the DV X-D series. Hand-wheels at the harnesses sides
set the tilt angle, locking them in place to prevent unintentional adjustments. A half-coupler or truss
The DTF brackets can be used together with a tilting device for
perfect orientation towards the audience.

DVX DM28
equipped with
Active x8“/ 1“ stage monitor
The DVX DM28 excels at rendering speech and vocals. Users’ search for natural response,
dynamic balance, and high SPL in a compact, inconspicuous package ends with this
stage monitor. The ultra low-profi le enclosure sports two 8“ neodymium woofers with
large 2.5“ voice coils that go about their business of rendering signals with impressive
precision. In contrast to cabinets loaded with simple 8” speakers, the DVX DM28 packs
a mighty low-midrange punch.
What’s more, it responds far faster to transients in the signal, rendering each attack
with awesome accuracy and power. Offering far greater dynamic range, it outper-
forms standard 12“ systems by.
A combination of asymmetrical CD horn (90° x 60°(40°)) and precision-matched
1“ RCF® neodymium compression driver effi ciently couples high frequencies. The
digipro® digital power amp featuring a PFC switched-mode power supply and the
speakers are fine-tuned to minimize the risk of feedback, ensuring the DVX DM28
remains remarkably feedback resistant even at peak SPL.
Made of rugged multiplex and coated with tough black lacquer, its light low-
profile enclosure sets up at two different angles. The integrated controller acts as
the enclosure’s controller, serv ing as an active equalizer, active x-over with phase
and delay time alignment, and controlling the onboard limiter.
