DB Technologies ES 1203 - 2400W Portable Stereo Sound System with 97 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DB Technologies ES1203 is a powerful and highly versatile 2400W portable stereo sound system designed for musicians, DJs, and performers. It features a tri-amped system with two passive top speakers and an active subwoofer, making it an ideal solution for both portable and permanent installations. With its advanced DSP controls, easy setup, and robust build quality, the ES1203 delivers a remarkable performance, combining a compact design with high SPLs and a wide coverage area.

The ES1203 system includes two wooden top satellites and one active wooden subwoofer equipped with two 12-inch woofers, all powered by a state-of-the-art Digipro G4 amplifier capable of delivering 2400W peak power. The subwoofer houses not only the amplifier but also the system's DSP interface, which is controlled via an intuitive OLED display located on the top of the subwoofer. The DSP allows users to configure the system for different environments and applications, offering three configuration modes (Mono, Stereo, and Double Column) and two steering modes (Far and Near) for optimal sound distribution.

The two top satellites each feature four 4-inch neodymium mid-woofers with phase plugs that help to expand the horizontal sound coverage and ensure perfect vocal intelligibility. These speakers can be used in stereo configuration (on tripods or mounted with the WB-44 accessory) or connected together in a mono configuration. The system's innovative Logarithmic Curved Column Array technology ensures asymmetrical vertical coverage, minimizing sound dispersion above the audience for more focused and efficient sound distribution. The tops are designed to connect seamlessly with one another using an integrated metal lock system, ensuring perfect alignment and electrical connection.

The ES1203 comes with a built-in 5-channel digital mixer, offering versatile connectivity options. The first input channel supports both microphones and instruments, with a balanced/unbalanced combo connector, an adjustable anti-feedback filter, and three gain settings. Channels 2 and 3 are MIC/LINE inputs, making it easy to connect up to three microphone lines simultaneously. The system also includes a built-in Bluetooth module for wireless audio streaming, perfect for connecting portable devices. Additionally, the balanced AUX/MIX output can be used for linking a second sound system, feeding a stage monitor, or providing a signal to another speaker.

The subwoofer, housing the control panel, is built from sturdy plywood with a scratch-resistant black finish, ensuring durability for road use. The system also comes with a transport dolly (DO-ES1203) for easy mobility. Setting up the ES1203 is straightforward thanks to the advanced graphical interface, which guides users through the configuration process and allows for easy adjustment of levels, EQ settings, and system presets via the OLED display.

In Mono or Double Column Mode, users can complete the system with the DP-ES1203 wooden pole for a sleek and professional look, making it perfect for permanent installations. The ES1203 package also includes a protective sub cover, a bag for the top satellites, a telescopic 35mm pole, two 7m speakon cables, and a power cable, providing everything you need for a complete, ready-to-go PA system.
