dB Tech DVA T12 | 12in - 1,410 Watts - 136dB

The global group of dBTechnologies companies develops and manufactures individual speaker components autonomously, and often specifically for the given application.

We do not subscribe to the practice of equalizing and optimizing speakers with elaborate technology to bring them up to our standards. Instead, it has been our long-standing policy to build from the bottom up components with specs tailored to deliver the best audio performance for the application.

DVA T12 is a step up the evolutionary ladder from the successful DVA T4 line array system. Although it provides more power and has greater range, its active three-way design makes it just as easy to set up and install as its predecessor.


Full of Technology

Long-Throw System
Fully Powered Three-Way Unit
Freely scalable to setups of any size
Lossless signal path with no need for speaker cables
Sequentially configurable array segments
High-End Digital Controller (DSP) on board
Network-ready with an integrated RDNet port
Hardware compatible with DVA T8 Systems
None of the impedence and amp channel availability
Concerns associated with passive models
The DVA T12
features state-of-the-art neodymium speakers and
high-performance digital amps with total of 1,410W output power.
In combination with top-drawer DSP and premium quality AD-DA
converter, it delivers high-definition sonic images with massive SPL for large sound reinforcement applications.

This remarkably compact unit belies its unobtrusive look by enabling you to set up very powerful line arrays that deliver extraordinary performance.

Extended low-end performance
A 12“ neodymium woofer in a band-pass housing covers the low frequency range.
Remarkably powerful, it packs an assertive punch that reaches down to 60 Hz to enable fullrange applications.
The 12“ woofer is slanted inside the housing, giving the cabinet a lean, unobtrusive look.

Accurate and awesomely efficient midrange response
The DVA T12‘s two 6.5“ neodymium midrange are placed close together to maximize coherent coupling and response for those critical midrange frequencies.

The speaker resides in a sealed basket to optimize the displacement volume. This makes the midrange even more responsive.
With a high BL factor, it reacts far faster to transients and renders each attack with awesome accuracy.

Both 6.5“ midrange are equipped with an optimized phase plug and feed into a frontloaded horn to achieve a uniform coverage pattern.

High-definition top end
The 1“ neodymium HF drivers feature 1.4“ Mylar diaphragms.
Exceptionally light and responsive, they deliver richly detailed signals with remarkably linear frequency response.
Specially developed for use in line arrays, these ultra compact drivers may be deployed in very close proximity to one another.  This is essential to minimize interference in such arrays.

The DVA T12 is loaded with three HF drivers tuned specifically for the custom designed array horn. This combination maximizes the coupling of the drivers‘ outputs and extends the range of the HF signal.
