Active Line Array Module 12″/6.5″/1″ 1500W
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. The DVA T12 features state-of-the-art neodymium speakers and high-performance digital amps with total of 1,500W output power. In combination with top-drawer DSP and premium-quality AD-DA transformers, it delivers high-definition sonic images with massive SPL for large sound reinforcement applications. Weighing just 29 kg, this remarkably compact unit belies its unobtrusive look by enabling you to set up very powerful line arrays that deliver extraordinary performance.

DVA T12 – Top performance paired with total control
The DVA T12 is a fully-powered 3-way speaker system featuring the latest and most innovative technologies. It reaches far beyond the norm for this class of PAs to raise the performance bar to new heights. The power supply, DSP-equipped input board, power amps, woofers, drivers, and almost every other component were developed and meticulously tuned specifically for the DVA T12 system by the dBTechnologies team of engineers.
digipro® digital power amps – Compact yet remarkably powerful
The DVA T12 sports three Class-D digipro® power amps, one for each signal path. They deliver 710W to the 12″ woofer and 350W each to the two 6.5″ midrange woofers and three 1″ drivers. Embodying the latest advance in digital high-performance amps, the technology behind digipro®  pairs maximum power with minimum weight and size. The amps’ remarkable power translates to massive SPL and unprecedented dynamic response and transparency, supported by with muscular low-end performance even in compact systems.
Keeping it safe with switched-mode power supplies featuring PFC
The DVA T12’s power-plant is an independent network equipped with the latest IT technology to achieve maximum safety, efficiency, and performance. A secondary power supply feeds five microcontrollers and the DSP, and serves to ramp up check routines and the main power supply. A smart circuit controls the sequence in which the main power supplies of all DVA T12 units within an array ramp up. It staggers the timing ever so slightly to keep the overall system’s inrush current low.
The main 1,500W SMPS power the amps. Their PFC (power factor correction) capability enables the system to run on mains voltages from 90V and 265V without any manual adjustments. This ensures peak performance even under adverse conditions, for instance at gigs where lengthy power feeds cause voltages to drop. This is yet another area in which digipro® outperforms conventional amps. With more than 90% yield, it is so very efficient that it does not require fans, making it an even safer and totally maintenance-free amp.
Integrated LDN for utmost reliability
Reliability is a top priority in modern PA systems. This is why the DVA T12 comes with a fast and efficient local data network (LDN) comprising a main CPU and four ancillary CPUs. Each microprocessor manages its assigned component, for example, the HF amp, processing temperature, voltage, current, impedance, input, output, and other data independently and continuously.
The main CPU captures and evaluates the ancillary CPUs’ data streams in real time, detecting problems such as an internal defect in a power amp channel or speaker. Only the affected channel is muted to prevent noise. Temperature is monitored constantly. The power amp does not shut down if the temperature rises above the defined limit. Instead, the input level is attenuated in small temperature-contingent increments to allow the amp to cool down.
The main CPU tracks the operating status, recording this data in a log file that may be exported via the USB port on the rear panel. If the RDnet is up and running, the T12 even sends an error report to the PC, which speeds up and simplifies considerably the task of servicing the module.
