dB Technologies DVA T8 8-Inch 3-Way 700W Active Line Array Speaker, Black

dB Technologies DVA T8 8-Inch 3-Way 700W Active Line Array Speaker, Black

The most advanced incarnation of a string of successful linearray systems that started with the DVA T4 and enhanced with DVA T12. Hard tobelieve that something so petite succeeded in packing such a mighty punch.

DVA T8 is a 3-way module equipped with an 8” bass reflexneodymium woofer, 1 horn loaded 6.5” midrange with a 2” voice coil and phaseplug device, and two 1” drivers with constant directivity horn. Thesecomponents have been optimally arranged to obtain a uniform 100° by 15°coverage per module. DVA T8 features a Class D 700 W RMS Digipro G2 digitalamplifier and is capable to reach up to 132 dB SPL.

The system is equipped with a RDNET port which allows thesystem to be controlled and monitored remotely in real-time through the use ofdBTechnologies Network control software.

Thanks to a rotary on the module’s rear panel, it ispossible to select one among 9 different preset options plus a personal settingwhich can be saved.

This way, users adapt the module’s frequency response toaiming distance and to coupling with other modules within the same array, thusoptimizing the sound in a consistent and balanced way, without the use of anyexternal processors.

The module’s electronics and components are housed in asturdy polypropylene box, reinforced with an internal anti-vibration metalstructure which drastically reduces any resonance, allowing the cabinet toachieve an excellent acoustic response.

The reinforced polypropylene box, the selected componentsand a state-of-the-art amplifying technology come together to deliver anexceptional weight-performance ratio: in facts, each module of DVA T8 weights amere 14.2 kg (31.3 lbs).

The unique feature of the DVA T series is the mechanical andacoustic compatibility between line array modules of the same family. Thisfeature guarantees a great versatility in terms of both using and configuringthe products.
