General
A decent PA system contains at least one subwoofer and to be honest, a 2+2 system is no frivolous luxury! To get your hands on such a system, you don't need to break the bank, however. The Mobile Road Series by DAP Audio might be just the thing for you. This is the DRX-12B, the passive subwoofer from the series. The 12-inch woofer with 2.5-inch voice coil allows for wonderful low-frequency reproductions, which run from 50 to 400 Hz, if crossover is not used. The DRX-12B weighs less than 18 kg, but nevertheless allows for a solid bass sound that supplements the middle and high tones of a passive full-range speaker.
DAP DRX-12B: facts and figures
The DRX-12B is powered via a lockable speaker connector and is also provided with a thru output, for the daisy chaining of amplifier power. It has a continuous capacity of 300 watts at 8 ohms. The peak power of 600 watts allows for good headroom for any PA applications and countenances dynamics, without making it sound forced. A maximum SPL of 123 dB is also quite impressive! The DRX-15B is roadproof thanks to the 15mm thick plywood, which is finished with scratchproof black lacquer. A stand flange on top allows for the mounting of a distance rod for a satellite speaker. All in all, this is a lot of bass for little money!
