dB Technologies Opera 915 DX active speaker

General

The Opera 915 DX belongs to the Opera DX line by dB Technologies. The DX 900 series is the flagship and reference standard of the DX line, and with the 915 DX, dB Technologies has succeeded once again in producing a great product for an attractive price. With this speaker, they've definitely added an outstanding new chapter to the Opera series' success story. The 915 DX is equipped with a 15-inch woofer with a 3-inch voice coil and a 1-inch driver with a 1.75-inch voice coil - a combination that makes this speaker an excellent choice for clubs and large stages, for instance. If you're looking for an even grander experience, you could also add the Sub18D by Technologies to the mix.

The technology of the speaker

A 900W Digipro digital G2 amplifier fills in the 15-inch woofer and 1-inch driver. Furthermore, the asymmetrical CD horn has a directivity of 80/65 x 60 degrees, which means that high frequencies can be projected broadly over an entire audience, and also travel quite far. Additionally, the frequency response of the 915 DX ranges from 915 to 48 Hz at -10 dB, and the maximum sound pressure that the 915 DX can produce is 129 dB (SPL). Finally, this speaker is equipped with a 6.3mm and an XLR signal input and output.

The design of the Opera 915 DX

Black polypropylene gives the Opera 915 DX a sleek look, and it also works to protect the speaker against unsightly scratches and other types of cosmetic damage. Not only is polypropylene scratch-resistant, but it's light too, meaning that this speaker is only just under 42 lbs (18.8 kg). It also means that the 915 DX can easily be mounted on a stand, with the use of the built-in 35 mm stand adapter.
