dB Technologies OPERA 12 1200W 12″ 2-Way Active Speaker

Description

The dB Technologies OPERA 12 is a powerful and versatile 2-way active speaker, ideal for both playback and live music applications. It features exceptional power, an innovative acoustic design, and advanced DSP processing, making it stand out in its price range.

The newly designed asymmetrical horn provides optimized vertical and horizontal dispersion, ensuring consistent sound coverage across all listening areas. This allows for clear and uniform audio performance in various setups.

Equipped with a 12″ woofer and a 1″ compression driver, the OPERA 12 delivers a maximum SPL of 129 dB, powered by a 600W RMS Class D amplifier (1200W Peak Power). The built-in 56-bit DSP processor with FIR filters ensures a coherent and crystal-clear sound at every listening position.

Its rugged yet lightweight polypropylene cabinet offers easy portability and installation, with multiple rigging points, ergonomic handles, and a D36mm pole mount. The OPERA 12 is a perfect choice for mobile DJs, musicians, and fixed installations where high-quality sound is a priority.
