The B-Hype 12 by db Technologies is a 12-inch 2-way active powered PA speaker suitable for a wide range of applications including live stage, DJ, solo musicians, bands and dance instructors.
The lightweight and versatile B-Hype 12 provides a professional sonic performance to all kinds of users whilst remaining portable and affordable. Its multifunctional housing enables the speaker to be used as a stage monitor, satellite speaker in combination with subwoofers or as a full-range system on pole mounts.
The B·H series aims to provide a professional yet efficient sonic performance to all kind of users, combining an extremely efficient CLASS D amplifier with aggressive sound pressure levels, while delivering the most accurate sound reproduction.
The new B-HYPE 12 is a versatile active speaker. It is equipped with one 1" neodymium compression driver (1" voice coil), and one 12" woofer (2" voice coil). The dispersion pattern is asymmetrical on vertical axis, and it is diversified (top and bottom) on the horizontal one. This allows a narrower and more efficient sound coverage, and a better performance in case of reverberant environments. The combo input (with source type selection) allows an easy and versatile use, suitable for a dynamic microphone and standard line input. The user can enhance lower and upper frequencies with the convenient DSP preset function. A balanced link output allows the audio connection to a second loudspeaker.
The featherweight cabinets come with a clean and contemporary full grille design, enhancing both portability (3 handles) and multifuncionality: each cabinet can be used horizontally as a stage monitor (on both sides) and features a pole mount cup in order to be used on tripods or stacked on dB Technologies Subs.
I’ve just had a pair of these delivered. I’ve set them up in a smallish room, they are very intelligible at low levels such as one might use for a warm-up or a dinner set. When wound up they remain very clear and they a good volume for smallish parties. Next upgrade for me will be a pair of dB Technologies Sub 615s. This I’m sure will make a good small party system for DJ sets. I’m moving towards smaller systems as I am having problems transporting my 50kw Martin Audio System following a spinal injury.
