DB Technologies DVX DM28 - 750W 2 x 8-inch Powered 2-Way Stage Monitor with 90 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DB Technologies DVX DM28 is a powerful, compact 750W dual 8-inch powered 2-way stage monitor designed to provide precise vocal and speech reproduction. With its ultra-low profile and robust construction, the DVX DM28 offers a superior monitoring solution for performers and speakers who demand natural response, dynamic balance, and high SPL in an inconspicuous package. This stage monitor excels at delivering pristine clarity and a low-midrange punch that rivals larger systems, making it an excellent choice for professional stage monitoring applications where vocal clarity is essential.

The DVX DM28 is equipped with two 8-inch neodymium woofers, each with large 2.5-inch voice coils, which ensure precise low-midrange frequency response. The dual-woofer design allows the monitor to handle transients with remarkable accuracy, delivering powerful attacks with precision and detail. Unlike standard 8-inch speakers, the DVX DM28 offers a significantly broader dynamic range, outperforming even many 12-inch systems in its ability to handle demanding signals while maintaining clarity and balance.

High frequencies are handled by a 1-inch neodymium compression driver paired with an asymmetrical constant directivity (CD) horn. This horn offers a versatile dispersion pattern of 90° x 60° (narrowing to 40°), ensuring that high-frequency content is evenly distributed across the stage, providing performers with consistent, clear sound no matter where they stand. The carefully matched driver and horn combination ensures smooth and efficient coupling of high frequencies, preventing unwanted feedback even at high output levels, making it ideal for use on louder stages.

At the heart of the DVX DM28 is a 750W RMS Class D Digipro amplifier, which delivers 1500W peak power for high-output performance. The amplifier is designed with a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) with Power Factor Correction (PFC), ensuring reliable power delivery even in venues where voltage fluctuations or weak mains power are an issue. The system is cooled through convection, providing quiet and efficient heat dissipation, allowing the DVX DM28 to operate at peak performance without any distracting fan noise.

The onboard 24-bit/48 kHz DSP processor acts as the monitor's controller, offering active equalization, phase and delay time alignment, and comprehensive limiter functions. The processor includes two system presets: "Flat," for general use, and "Monitor," which is optimized specifically for stage monitoring applications. The active crossover filters ensure a seamless transition between the low and high frequencies, with a crossover frequency of 1600 Hz and a slope of 24 dB/octave, ensuring accurate sound reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum.

Built to withstand the rigors of professional use, the DVX DM28 is housed in a rugged multiplex plywood enclosure coated with a durable black lacquer finish. This sturdy construction ensures that the monitor is both lightweight and durable, making it suitable for touring, rental, and fixed installations. The monitor can be set up at two different angles (30° and 60°) to provide optimal positioning on stage. Additionally, its low-profile design makes it unobtrusive, ensuring that it doesn't interfere visually with performers or stage setups.

Despite its power and performance, the DVX DM28 is highly portable, weighing just 14 kg (30.86 lbs) and measuring 480 mm wide, 265 mm tall, and 418 mm deep. Its compact size and lightweight design make it easy to transport and set up, making it a versatile option for a wide range of live sound applications, including concerts, theater productions, and speaking engagements.

In summary, the DB Technologies DVX DM28 is a high-performance 2-way active stage monitor that delivers precise vocal clarity, powerful low-midrange response, and reliable feedback resistance in a compact, rugged enclosure. With its advanced DSP processing, versatile amplification, and durable construction, the DVX DM28 is the ideal choice for professional monitoring on midsized to large stages.
