dBTechnologies DVA K5 Overview

Equipped with top-notch features and engineered for maximum versatility, the dBTechnologies DVA K5 is a high-powered line-array module featuring two 1.4” drivers, a 6” neodymium midrange, and a 8” neodymium woofer. An advanced DSP user interface allows an extremely precise system tuning. The double rotary encoder provides a separate tuning for LF correction (coupling) and MF/HF correction (high-angle midrange loss and air absorption compensation due to throw distance).

The module’s electronics and components are housed in a sturdy polypropylene box, reinforced with an internal anti-vibration metal structure, which drastically reduces any resonance, allowing the cabinet to achieve an excellent acoustic response. The unique design, selected components, and state-of-the-art amplifying technology provide an exceptional weight-to-performance ratio. Additionally, the DVA K5 comes with a freshly designed grille and an integrated rain cover.

Note: The power cord and rigging elements are sold separately.

Benefits
  • Powerful and noiseless amplification section, thanks to the new DIGIPRO G3 Class-D amplifier, requiring no active ventilation
  • SPL (peak) of 129 dB
  • High-quality transducers, sound design optimized for line-array use, and full-range frequency response for professional use
  • Equipped as standard with pins and built-in brackets, pre-drilled and graduated for easy assembly/disassembly in a line-array configuration
  • Quick and accurate DSP configuration through two rotary encoders, optimized coupling, and high-frequency compensation
  • Easy to handle and transport
  • Lightweight, thanks to the polypropylene box and the use of neodymium magnet components

 

DSP Configuration and Optimization
The use of a line-array provides multiple benefits in various contexts; in particular:

  • Homogeneous SPL along the speaker front direction; the effect is particularly noticeable over medium to long distances
  • Directive sound behavior, allowing to accurately focus the sound on the audience, avoiding unnecessary dispersions in areas where acoustic coverage is not required
  • The line-array optimization takes into account the system behavior with respect to the frequency
Speaker Coupling Rotary Encoder
Turn the Speaker Coupling rotary encoder to set the number of modules included in the line array. This rotary encoder affects the low-frequencies
