dB Technologies B-Hype 15 Speaker Set

Multifunctional 15"/1" Active Speaker in Plastic Housing with 240 Watt Amplifier!

Speaker Configuration

The compact and very lightweight B-HYPE 15, weighing just 17.4 kg, features a 15" low-mid woofer and a 1" compression tweeter. It can be used as a tweeter unit in combination with a subwoofer or, thanks to the 15" woofer, as a full-range speaker for speech and music as well as a floor monitor.

Bi-Amp Digital Amplifier

The entire B-HYPE series is equipped with a modern, digital 2-channel amplifier that actively separates one channel each for the woofer and tweeter, delivering a peak power of 400 watts in the B-Hype 15.

Internal DSP

The internal DSP offers a high resolution of 56-bit and 48 kHz and provides an active crossover including delay adjustment, phase and frequency correction, plus two sound presets: "Flat" for neutral playback and "Boost" for enhanced bass reproduction.

Limiter for Maximum Operational Safety

Like all dBTechnologies active speakers, the B-HYPE series features an input-side limiter for maximum operational safety and high audio quality, even at the power limit. Both long-term and short-term overloads are detected and limited. In case of overheating, the thermal limiter intervenes to prevent damage to the components.

Asymmetric Horn Tweeter

Unique in its class are the asymmetric horn tweeters of the B-HYPE series, which ensure optimized dispersion in near and far fields. Thanks to software-supported development and simulation, these tweeters provide a wide dispersion angle in the near field (120°) and a reduced level loss over distance (85°) due to the horn narrowing, resulting in optimal sound distribution across the coverage area. The 25° upward limited dispersion angle reduces ceiling reflections.

High-Quality Multifunction Housing

The B-Hype series is made from high-quality, extremely robust, and UV-resistant polypropylene plastic. For a sleek and professional look, the housing is equipped with a metal front grille. For easy handling, the B-Hype housing features three handles—one on top and two on the sides. The 35mm stand flange allows use on a speaker stand or extension pole. The angled back with a 45° slope also allows use as a floor monitor.

Connections and Settings

The entire B-Hype series is equipped with a combo input jack that accepts both 6.3mm jack and XLR cables. A balanced XLR output is available for daisy-chaining the signal to additional devices. The input sensitivity is switchable between "Line" for connecting mixers or other electronic devices, and "Mic" with increased sensitivity for direct microphone connection. The "Volume" control adjusts input sensitivity and playback volume. Power is supplied via a 3-pin VDE socket.

Sturdy Steel Speaker Stand

The practical stand ensures secure footing for your speakers with its stable tripod design, whether on stage, in rehearsal rooms, or clubs. Various adjustment options guarantee maximum flexibility in positioning, and an additional metal pin secured with a nylon strap on the stand prevents accidental speaker falls.

Usable as Stage Monitor, Full-Range Speaker in Small Applications, or in Combination with Subwoofer!
