DB Technologies DVA K5 - 500W 8-inch Powered 3-Way Line Array Loudspeaker with 100 x 15-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DB Technologies DVA K5 is a 500W 8-inch powered 3-way line array loudspeaker designed to deliver cutting-edge sound reinforcement in a lightweight and highly efficient package. As a part of the renowned DVA series, which has set industry standards since its launch in 2006, the DVA K5 incorporates the latest advancements in line array technology to provide professional-grade sound performance for a wide range of users. This model builds on the success of the preVious DVA T4 model, offering technological enhancements inspired by the DVA T8, while introducing significant improvements in both sound quality and user control. Ideal for professional audio setups such as concerts, live events, and large venues, the DVA K5 is engineered for maximum versatility and powerful performance.

The DVA K5 features a Class D 500W RMS Digipro G3 amplifier, capable of delivering up to 1000W peak power. This ensures the speaker can achieve a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 129 dB, providing powerful, clear sound even in large spaces. The 3-way design of the DVA K5 includes two 1-inch drivers with 1.4-inch voice coils for high frequencies, a 6.5-inch neodymium midrange driver with a 2-inch voice coil, and an 8-inch neodymium woofer with a 2.5-inch voice coil for low frequencies. This setup delivers an extended frequency response from 70 Hz to 19 kHz, ensuring balanced and accurate sound across the entire spectrum, from deep lows to crisp highs.

One of the standout features of the DVA K5 is its advanced DSP processor, which allows precise system tuning for optimal performance in various acoustic environments. The onboard DSP includes two rotary encoders: one for LF correction (coupling) and another for MF/HF correction (addressing high-angle midrange loss and air absorption compensation due to throw distance). This advanced tuning capability enables sound professionals to fine-tune the speaker system for different venues, ensuring maximum clarity and coverage.

The speaker's enclosure is constructed from a rugged polypropylene material, reinforced with a metal structure to reduce resonance and vibration, thereby enhancing its acoustic performance. The durable design makes the DVA K5 suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It also features an updated front grille design that not only enhances its appearance but also provides protection against environmental elements with an integrated rain cover, ensuring reliable performance in challenging weather conditions.

The DVA K5's compact design and lightweight construction make it highly portable and easy to install. Weighing just 14.2 kg (31.3 lbs), it offers an excellent weight-to-performance ratio, making it ideal for touring sound systems and temporary installations. The speaker is equipped with integrated rigging hardware, allowing for seamless flying and ground-stacking configurations. It is fully compatible with the DVA T series flying and stacking accessories, providing flexibility in creating larger line array systems or tailored sound setups for different event requirements.

In terms of connectivity, the DVA K5 features a balanced XLR input and output, as well as PowerCON connectors for both power input and output, making it easy to link multiple units in a larger system. The back panel also includes intuitive controls for input sensitivity, LF correction, and MF/HF correction, allowing sound engineers to quickly adjust the speaker to suit specific acoustic environments and setup requirements.

Overall, the DB Technologies DVA K5 is a highly versatile, powerful, and easy-to-use line array loudspeaker that offers professional-grade performance in a compact and lightweight design. Its advanced DSP capabilities, robust construction, and compatibility with existing DVA systems make it an excellent choice for sound professionals seeking a high-quality line array system for concerts, corporate events, and other large-scale audio applications.
