Product information

General

Amid the success of their Opera series speakers, the designers at dB Technologies haven't been resting on their laurels. In fact, they've been evidently busy developing further improvements on the shape, cone design and DSP integration. The Opera 12 is the fruit of their labour. As before, you can expect highly energetic sound, combining power and precision at an excellent price.

Music and speech

The Opera 12 features a 12-inch woofer that has a noticeably fuller delivery than that of the 10-inch version and a tighter overall sound than the 15-inch. If you're looking for a speaker that handles speech just as well as it handles music, then the Opera 12 is your new best friend! It can even be used as a floor monitor; be connected to your mixer and has two inputs fitted so you can connect two separate sound sources at the same time.

New features

The new Opera speakers feature the special asymmetrical CD cone that have made this dB Technologies series such a success. With the new models, this has been completely redesigned to give the speakers even greater sound dispersion than before. The new models also have a DSP processor on board with 8 EQ presets, making it easier than ever to adjust the sound to suit the environment you're in.

dB Technologies Opera 12 Active Speaker

Uit deze speaker komt een goed helder geluid met een brede dynamiek. zeer geschikt voor dj’s of conferenties waar genoeg volume nodig is. Ik mis echter wel iets meer instel mogelijkheden in de dsp maar naast dat een goede speaker

dB Technologies Opera 12 Active Speaker

In samenwerking met de sub 615 van dB een hele mooie, strakke actieve speaker. Is niet zwaar en tilt gemakkelijk. Het geluid blijft helder, zelfs nadat het volume omhoog gaat.

Enige nadeel is dat er aan de zijkant slechts 1 handvat is, waardoor het op statief zetten in de hoogte wat lastiger is dan als er twee handvatten aanwezig zijn.

dB Technologies Opera 12 Active Speaker

Great product !

The quality of these speakers is just " mind blowing " :)

I decided to take the 12" because I don't have a sub and I didn't want to carry the 15" version and I'm not disapointed at all !

The delivery with Bax-shop is very fast ! I had the parcel delivered the day after and I ordered at 17:00 the day before (on friday) it means they deliver on saturday which is awesome !

Thank you
