dB Technologies DVA K5, 8″ 3-Way Active Line Array Module System – 500W

The dB Technologies active line array series DVAK5 has set new standards in the sound reinforcement industry since its market launch in 2006.  Equipped with top-notch features and engineered for maximum versatility, DVA series brought the benefits of line array technology to a much wider range of users. Now dB Technologies upgrades the best of technology that determined the success of the whole series in the new 3 way active line array module DVA K5. Featuring a Class D 500 W RMS Digipro G3 digital amplifier, DVA K5 is capable to reach up to 129 dB SPL and aims to inherit the success of the earliest model of the series DVA T4, thanks to technological upgrades partially derived from the most recent model of the series DVA T8. The new DVA line array module comprises 2 1,4” drivers, a 6” neodymium midrange and a 8” neodymium woofer.

Furthermore, an advanced DSP user interface allows an extremely precise system tuning: a double rotary encoder provides a separate tuning for LF correction (coupling) and MF/HF correction (high-angle midrange loss and air absorption compensation due to throw distance). The module’s electronics and components are housed in a sturdy polypropylene box, reinforced with an internal anti-vibration metal structure which drastically reduces any resonance, allowing the cabinet to achieve an excellent acoustic response. The unique design, the selected components and a state of the art amplifying technology come together to deliver an exceptional weight-performance ratio: each system weights 31,31 lbs (14,2 Kg). Moreover,  DVA K5 comes with a freshly designed frontal grille and an integrated raincover.
