Introducing the BASSBOSS DV12 Powered MicroMain. This new 12” top
delivers ground-breaking performance with full range response down to
45Hz (±3dB) and sustained output to 126 dB SPL. 3000 Watts of Powersoft
amplification provides extraordinary dynamic power and crystal-clear sound.
The DV12 uses a line-array derived 1.4” throat isophasic wave guide instead
of a conventional horn. The result is a combination of very wide and consistent
horizontal coverage (120°) with a tight vertical pattern (20°) that extends high
frequency projection farther than a conventional horn.
The lower frequencies are produced by a 12” woofer that features an
ultra-light carbon-fiber impregnated cone for outstanding resolution, a
cast aluminum basket for rigidity and reliability, a Neodymium magnet for
light weight and high efficiency, a 4” voice coil for high power handling and
a symmetrical, long-excursion suspension for accurate and extended bass
response.
The amplifier can deliver output peaks of 150V, to provide amazing dynamic
resolution and impact. It also has a 10,000:1 damping factor, which provides
extremely tight control over the cone. The fully integrated and comprehensive
digital processing ensures smooth response and and reliable operation thanks
to meticulous filter alignments and dual stage limiters that protect the drivers
from excessive peaks, and also from thermal overload by monitoring real power
output over time. The amplifier features a large heat sink and a temperature-
controlled fan to ensure consistent operation under even the most extreme
conditions.
The DV12 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 several configurations. The first is full-
range mode, with response down to 45Hz (-3dB) The other presets allow the
DV12 to be integrated with various types and sizes of subwoofers. Each preset
has a specific high-pass filter frequency, input sensitivity, high and low frequency
limiter setting and subwoofer alignment processing.
The DV12 can be combined with any BASSBOSS subwoofer because all the
presets are programmed to align with all the subs. Each preset offers different
advantages that suit certain applications and preferences. No matter which
preset you choose, your BASSBOSS subs and DV12 tops will always play in
harmony.
The cabinet is made in the USA from premium selected 15mm Baltic Birch
and weighs only 61 lbs. The design incorporates a 4-degree down-angle that
ensures even distribution of high-frequency energy from front-to-back of a venue
when the DV12 is placed at the appropriate height on a tripod or support pole.
Additional features include a 38mm (1-3/8”) cast metal pole socket, eight fly
points and two handles. The amplifier is recessed from the back of the cabinet
to protect it in transit. A perforated steel grill protects the woofer but the high-
frequency lens and port are left clear of the grill to minimize reflections and air
flow noise that could compromise sound quality.
Should you ever need more sound than can be produced by one DV12 per side,
the DV12’s invertible array feature allows perfect summing of two speakers,
which provides a big increase in output and projection without compromising
the crystal clarity. To further utilize the advantages of the line-array waveguides,
the DV12s are designed to stack with the HF lenses vertically aligned. This
allows the high-frequency sections of two boxes to sum perfectly as they would
in a line-array while the low-frequency sections sum in a column for improved
low-frequency directivity and greatly increased output.
There is finally a speaker that allows two completely functional stereo systems
to be combined into one without having to compromise, either when they are
together, or when they are separated.
