dB Technologies Opera 12 Active Speaker Set

Active Speaker with Top-Notch DSP!

dBTechnologies combines powerful DSP processing, cutting-edge design features, and outstanding user-friendliness in a unique speaker system – the new OPERA series!

Exceptional power paired with unique acoustic design delivers strong and crystal-clear sound, ideal for speech, DJ, and live music applications. The new OPERA series is equipped with a powerful 600W Class-D digital amplifier and advanced DSP processing including FIR filtering for coherent audio performance that ensures consistently even and crystal-clear sound at every listening position.

Asymmetric Horn

Asymmetric tweeter horns optimize the dispersion behavior of the tweeter for more even coverage. Different configurations allow optimizing the horizontal or vertical dispersion pattern:

• Horizontally, the horn opens wider downward to provide clean high-frequency reproduction over a broad area even at short distances, while it narrows upward to achieve a tighter dispersion angle, reducing level drop-off over distance and minimizing reflections from walls.
• Vertically, compared to conventional tweeter horns, the upward dispersion angle is reduced: typically, no listeners are located there and ceiling reflections are minimized. Downward, the dispersion angle is widened to cover audiences close to the speaker with high frequencies.

Multi-Function Enclosure

The multi-function enclosure offers various placement and usage options. Besides a pole mount flange, it also features a slanted back so you can lay the speaker on a stage.

Preset System

With predefined presets, you can quickly change a variety of specific parameters at the push of a button to adapt the speaker swiftly to changing applications.

FIR Filter

Using so-called FIR filters and modern DSP chips, unlike conventional (IIR) filters, not only the magnitude (frequency response) but also the phase of a signal can be influenced based on an impulse response. This allows perfect linearization of the frequency response of a complex speaker system without negatively affecting the phase as usual. A speaker filtered this way is characterized by perfect impulse fidelity and exceptional detail accuracy.

Speaker Stand Made of Sturdy Steel

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 setup, and an additional metal pin secured with a nylon strap on the stand prevents accidental speaker falls.
