DV12-MK3

BASSBOSS

Designed for the mobile professional, the BASSBOSS DV12-MK3 is a compact, high-output loudspeaker with a wide coverage pattern that's wells suited for main speakers in small to midsized events including concerts, festivals, art installations, and more.The DV12-MK3 features a 3200W Class-D amplifier that delivers 2400W to the 12" woofer and 800W to the 3" compression driver, which combines for a 45 Hz to 19 kHz frequency response and a maximum 134 dB SPL. The speaker uses a line-array derived 1.4" throat isophasic wave guide instead of a conventional horn. The design also incorporates a 4 down-angle that ensures the even distribution of high-frequency energy from the front to the back of a venue when the DV12-MK3 is placed at the appropriate height on a tripod or support pole. A Neutrik powerCON True 1 power cable is included.What's New MK3 Amp UpdateThere are all-new amplifiers in the MK3 series. Total power has increased, however power allocated to woofers increased substantially. The higher output voltages provide more impact. Universal input voltage compatibility of 90 to 250V provides more flexibility. Waterproof connections provide more peace of mind.MK3 Enhanced DSPThe MK3 features an all-new 96 kHz DSP. The pushbutton presets have doubled, from 4, to 8, and up to 100 presets can now be stored in the DSP and loaded via LAN. The comprehensive suite of processing includes meticulously tuned equalization, all necessary high-pass and low-pass filters, and multiple protection systems and limiters to prevent driver overload in as many ways as possible.ControlBASS SoftwareControlBASS software supports an essentially unlimited number of possible BASSBOSS-developed or customized user presets, which integrate seamlessly and coherently with all other BASSBOSS products for effortless setup. The latest in DSP programming developments can be added via easy remote updating.DV12-MK3 Design The DV12-MK3 uses a line-array derived 1.4 throat isophasic waveguide instead of a conventional horn. Coupled to the waveguide is a compression driver with a 3 voice coil. This combination provides effortlessly high SPL over very wide and consistent horizontal coverage of 120 with a tight vertical pattern of 20 . This extends high-frequency intelligibility farther than a conventional horn and allows for two arrayed cabinets to provide coherent, line-array-style performance.The lower frequencies are produced by a 12 woofer that features a neodymium magnet for light weight and high efficiency, a 4 voice coil for high power handling, and symmetrical long-excursion suspension for accurate and extended bass response. So much bass response that it could easily serve as a subwoofer driver.Advanced Power Power is supplied by an amplifier that can deliver output peaks of 163V to provide amazing dynamic resolution and impact. Fully integrated and comprehensive digital processing ensures a smooth response and reliable operation thanks to meticulous filter alignments and five-stage limiters that protect the drivers from excessive peaks and thermal overload by monitoring real power output over time. The amplifier features a large heat sink and 2 temperature-controlled fans to ensure consistent operation under even the most extreme conditions.Comprehensive Digital Signal Processing The DV12-MK3 is the ultimate in plug and play, with universal voltage compatibility and no need for any outboard gear other than a sound source. The processing features presets that allow it to run in multiple configurations. The full-range mode, Preset 1, provides response down to 40 Hz (-3 dB). Each successive preset filters the lows out at higher frequencies, allowing the DV12-MK3 to be perfectly integrated with various types and sizes of subwoofers.Each preset has a specific high-pass filter frequency and alignment filters that ensure it s always phase coherent with any BASSBOSS sub. As low-frequency demand is reduced, higher sound levels can be achieved. In the higher presets, this
