DB Technologies DVA K5 8″ 3-Way Active Line Array Module, 500W

Description Since its groundbreaking debut in 2006, dBTechnologies’ DVA series has revolutionized the live sound industry by making line array technology more accessible than ever before. The DVA K5 continues that legacy as a 3-way active line array module, combining refined engineering with modern DSP control and premium neodymium components to deliver exceptional sound quality in a compact footprint.At its core lies a 500W RMS Digipro® G3 Class-D amplifier, capable of producing up to 129 dB SPL per unit. The loudspeaker configuration includes two 1″ HF drivers, a 6.5″ neodymium midrange, and an 8″ neodymium woofer, offering precise sound reproduction across a 70 Hz – 19 kHz frequency range.The integrated 56-bit DSP enables high-precision tuning through a user-friendly interface featuring dual rotary encoders. One controls LF coupling correction, while the other adjusts MF/HF compensation, accounting for air absorption and vertical throw distance—essential tools for professional array optimization.Built to withstand the rigors of touring, the DVA K5 is housed in a polypropylene enclosure reinforced with internal anti-vibration metal bracing, minimizing resonance and enhancing acoustical integrity. It also includes integrated rigging hardware, allowing seamless array construction, and a newly designed front grille with an integrated rain cover for outdoor reliability.Despite its rugged build and advanced tech, the DVA K5 remains lightweight at just 14.2 kg (31.3 lbs), offering an exceptional performance-to-weight ratio.Whether used alone or as part of a larger DVA system, the K5 is engineered to meet the needs of demanding live sound professionals, delivering articulate, powerful, and finely controlled audio performance in any venue.Features:3-way active line array module with Digipro® G3 amplifier500W RMS Class-D power (1000W peak), 129 dB SPL maxPremium neodymium transducers: 2×1″ HF, 1×6.5″ MF, 1×8″ LFAdvanced DSP with dual rotary encoders for LF and MF/HF correctionFrequency response: 70 Hz – 19 kHz, crossover points at 340 Hz and 1800 HzDurable polypropylene cabinet with metal reinforcement and rain coverIntegrated rigging hardware for quick and secure array setupCompact and lightweight at 14.2 kg (31.3 lbs)Specifications:CategoryDetailsSpeaker Type3-Way Active Line Array ModuleFrequency Response70 – 19,000 Hz (±3 dB)Max SPL129 dB (single unit)HF Drivers2 × 1″ (1.4″ VC)MF Driver1 × 6.5″ Neodymium (2″ VC)LF Driver1 × 8″ Neodymium (2.5″ VC)Directivity100° (H) × 15° (V)Amplifier500 W RMS Class D (Digipro® G3), 1000 W PeakCoolingConvectionDSP Controller56-bit internal, 24-bit/48 kHz AD/DALimiterDual Active Multiband (RMS, Peak, Thermal)Crossover FrequenciesLF-MF: 340 Hz / MF-HF: 1800 Hz (both 24 dB/Oct slope)Input/Output1 × XLR In, 1 × XLR Out, 1 × PowerCON In/OutControlsInput Sensitivity Switch, LF & MF/HF DSP Rotary EncodersHousing MaterialPolypropylene, internally metal-reinforcedDimensions (WxHxD)580 × 240 × 327 mm (22.83 × 9.44 × 12.87 in)Weight14.2 kg (31.3 lbs)RiggingIntegrated rigging hardware
