DB Technologies Vio W15T - 1600W 15-inch Powered 2-Way Stage Monitor with 80 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The dB Technologies Vio W15T is an advanced, high-performance stage monitor designed to deliver exceptional audio clarity and power, while seamlessly integrating with the premium Vio line array systems. Built for touring professionals, the Vio W15T combines innovative design features, superior acoustics, and advanced DSP technology to provide an outstanding solution for on-stage monitoring, drum fills, and various live sound applications. Its robust construction and user-friendly features make it a highly versatile and durable choice for demanding environments.

This 2-way powered coaxial stage monitor is equipped with a powerful 15-inch neodymium woofer and a 1.3-inch high-frequency driver with a 3-inch voice coil, delivering a maximum SPL of up to 137.5 dB. The coaxial design ensures consistent sound coverage, making it ideal for precise monitoring on stage. The rotatable horn design allows the dispersion pattern to be easily adjusted between 80° x 60°, offering great flexibility depending on the application or venue setup. This makes the Vio W15T an excellent choice for different stage environments, from small clubs to large concert stages.

Powered by a 1600 W RMS Class D Digipro G4 amplifier, the Vio W15T benefits from the same advanced amplifier technology used in dB Technologies' high-end sound reinforcement systems. This powerful amplification system is paired with a full-range SMPS power supply with PFC (Power Factor Correction), making the monitor highly resistant to power fluctuations and capable of withstanding up to 380V power surges, ensuring reliable performance even under challenging power conditions.

The Vio W15T is equipped with an advanced DSP processor that employs linear phase FIR filters, which optimize the frequency and phase response for a precise and natural sound reproduction. Users can manage the system's DSP settings via the RDNet control software or Aurora Net software, which allows real-time monitoring, adjustment of EQ, delay, and levels, as well as advanced diagnostics. The system also features a built-in transducer diagnostics test that can be activated with a simple push of a button, ensuring the monitor is always performing at its best.

The rugged wooden cabinet of the Vio W15T is coated with a durable black polyurea finish, making it highly resistant to wear and tear on the road. The enclosure features a flush-mounted preamp module on the side panel, allowing for a clean and professional stage appearance without visible connectors. The exclusive front-rear grille design enhances its sleek look, while the addition of multiple handles ensures easy handling and positioning. The monitor can be used horizontally as a stage wedge or vertically for drum fill applications, with complete protection from rain when placed vertically.
