dB Technologies Opera 15 Active Speaker

Active Speaker with Premium DSP!

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

Outstanding 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, ensuring 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. There are different design options to optimize horizontal or vertical dispersion:

• Horizontally, the horn widens downward to provide clean reproduction of high frequencies over a wide area even at short distances from the speaker, while narrowing upward to reduce level drop-off over distance and minimize reflections from walls.
• Vertically, compared to conventional tweeter horns, the upward dispersion angle is reduced: usually no listeners are located there and ceiling reflections are minimized. Downward, the dispersion angle is widened to cover audience 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 the speaker can be laid on a stage.

Preset System

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

FIR Filter

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