Features

•  FIR-X tuning™ 

Our proprietary sound-processing technology utilizing a linear-phase FIR filter delivers excellent sound quality 
with high resolution and a smooth frequency response that is unaffected by phase interference near the 
crossover point.

•  D-CONTOUR (Dynamic CONTOUR)

D-CONTOUR optimizes the level of each frequency range according to the application to be used or the 
listener’s preferences. There are two modes: an FOH/MAIN mode for use as a main speaker, and a MONITOR 
mode for use as a floor monitor. 

•  Simple mixing function 

The DBR features simple mixing functionality, enabling you to select either a direct output of channel 1 (CH1) 
(parallel connection) or a mixed output of CH1 and CH2.

•  Various input/output connectors

The comprehensive set of connectors—including XLR for a mixer, phone for a musical instrument, and RCA-
pin for an MP3 player—provides maximum flexibility in use with a wide variety of applications.

•  Light weight, high power

A newly developed power supply and amplifier has enabled compact size and light weight, as well as 
powerful output.

•  Advanced protection functionality

DSP-controlled advanced protection functionality promotes optimum reliability even in challenging 
environments.
