DB Technologies B Hype 15 - 200W 15-inch Powered 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 120 x 85-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DB Technologies B Hype 15 is a powerful 200W 15-inch powered 2-way portable loudspeaker, engineered to deliver professional-grade audio performance with enhanced portability and user-friendly features. As part of the B-Hype series, this speaker is designed to offer an efficient yet powerful sonic experience, combining an extremely efficient Class D amplifier with a sound pressure level of up to 126.5 dB. This makes the B Hype 15 ideal for a variety of applications, from live performances and DJ sets to corporate presentations and events. The B Hype 15's innovative design ensures accurate sound reproduction and efficient sound coverage, making it a versatile option for any professional audio setup.

Equipped with a 15-inch woofer (2-inch voice coil) and a 1-inch neodymium compression driver (1-inch voice coil), the B Hype 15 provides deep, powerful bass and crisp, clear highs. Its advanced horn design features asymmetrical vertical dispersion and differentiated horizontal dispersion (85° up and 120° down), ensuring precise and even sound coverage across a wide area. This design is particularly effective in reverberant environments, minimizing reflections and ensuring that the sound is delivered clearly to every corner of the room. With a maximum SPL of 126.5 dB and a frequency response ranging from 51 Hz to 20 kHz, the B Hype 15 is capable of handling a wide range of audio content with impressive clarity and power.

The B Hype 15's Class D amplifier delivers 400W of peak power, providing the efficiency and power needed to maintain high sound levels while keeping the system lightweight and portable. The amplifier is equipped with passive convection cooling, ensuring reliable operation even during extended use without the need for noisy fans. The integrated DSP controller includes preset EQ modes-"Flat" for natural sound and "Boost" for enhanced bass and treble-allowing users to easily adjust the sound to suit different types of audio content and environments. The built-in peak, RMS, and thermal limiter protections ensure safe operation, preventing damage to the internal components during high-volume performances.

The B Hype 15 offers versatile connectivity, featuring a balanced combo input that supports both dynamic microphones and standard line-level sources, making it suitable for a wide range of audio applications. Additionally, a balanced XLR link output allows for easy connection to a second speaker, enabling scalable sound reinforcement for larger events. This versatility makes the B Hype 15 a reliable choice for both small and large setups.

Despite its power, the B Hype 15 is designed with portability in mind. Weighing just 17.4 kg (38.36 lbs) and housed in a durable polypropylene cabinet, the speaker is easy to transport thanks to its three integrated handles (two on the sides and one on the top). The cabinet is designed with a sleek and contemporary full metal grille that provides protection to the internal components while giving the speaker a modern and professional look. The B Hype 15 is also highly versatile in terms of positioning: it can be used as a stage monitor with dual monitor angles (45°), mounted on a 36mm pole for elevated use, or stacked on a DB Technologies subwoofer for a full-range sound system. This flexibility makes the B Hype 15 suitable for any venue or setup.

The back panel of the B Hype 15 is equipped with intuitive controls for volume adjustment, input sensitivity, and DSP preset selection, allowing users to quickly and easily configure the speaker to meet their needs. The balanced signal input and output connections provide seamless integration with other audio equipment, ensuring that the B Hype 15 can be easily incorporated into any professional sound system.

In summary, the DB Technologies B Hype 15 is a powerful, versatile, and portable active loudspeaker designed to deliver professional sound quality in a variety of environments. Its combination of powerful output, precise sound dispersion, and user-friendly features makes it an excellent choice for musicians, DJs, event organizers, and sound engineers seeking a reliable and efficient audio solution.
