MARKETPLACE< SUPPLIER SPOTLIGHT DB TECHNOLOGIES
DB TECHNOLOGIES has made quite a name for itself in the past few years. Its boxes can now be found at sizeable gigs and prestige installations. A growing reputation among the pro community was cemented three years ago with the DVA (digital vertical array) series, while the upper echelons of the passive Arena range continues to be a mainstay for pro mobile applications and fixed installations.

It does this by using plastic housings with 420W of digital amplification on board, coupled to RCF neodymium speakers. The DVA system opened the door for smaller rental companies to be able to offer a usable line array system at an affordable price. >
