Line array technology has revolutionized sound reinforcement,	particularly	for	large	venues	
and	events.	Arraying	several	speaker	cabinets	vertically	is	a	far	more	effective	method	of	
delivering	and	directing	sound.	Line	array‘s	signal	levels	do	not	drop	off	as	steeply	with	
increasing	distance	as	is	the	case	with	conventional	systems.	What‘s	more,	their	patterns	of	
throw	are	very	wide	despite	the	systems‘	lean	configurations.	Until	recently	this	technology	
saw	limited	use	mainly	in	large,	elaborate,	and	costly	projects	and	installations.	But	with	
arrival	of	DVA,	true	line	array	technology	is	now	available	for	a	wide	range	of	portable	
and	permanent	sound	reinforcement	applications.
Factoring	all	the	many	different	parameters	and	users‘	needs	into	the	design	equation,	
the	 dBTechnologies	 team	 of	 engineers	 developed	 a	 line	 array	 system	 that	 is	 easy	 to	
configure,	 exceedingly	 light,	 and	 tremendously	 versatile.	 What‘s	 more,	 the	 managed	
to	take	all	these	vital	criteria	into	account	without	imposing	limits	on	curving	capacity	
and	the	number	of	arrayed	components.	Called	DVA,	this	system	makes	the	most	of	line	
array	technology‘s	considerable	audio	benefits.
Leveraging	 state-of-the-art	 technologies,	 materials,	 and	 many	 years	 experience	
developing	powered	speaker	systems,	dBTechnologies	has	turned	up	a	line	array	series	
that	raises	the	performance	bar	for	handling,	versatility,	and	return	on	investment.
dBTechnologies	 has	 a	 competitive	 edge.	 Our	 engineers‘	 deep	 insight	 into	 power	
electronics,	 DSP	 programming,	 acoustics,	 mechanics,	 materials,	 and	 manufacturing	
practices	 enables	 us	 to	 independently	 develop	 innovative	 solutions	 in	 each	 of	 these	
areas.	Such	comprehensive	R&D	proficiency	puts	us	in	a	unique	position:	We	are	able	
to	 transform	 inspired	 ideas	 into	 premium-quality	 products	 that	 deliver	 outstanding	
performance	at	an	unrivalled	price-point.
The	 DVA	 series	 stands	 as	 a	 shining	 example	 of	 this	 all-around	 ability.	 Nowhere	 are	
the	benefits	of	integrated	amps,	active	crossovers,	and	processor-driven	control	more	
apparent	than	in	DVA	three-way	line	array	units.
 Fully powered units, freely scalable to setups of any size.
 None of the impedance and amp channel availability
 concerns associated with passive models.
 Lossless signal path with no need for speaker cables.
 Extremely tough yet remarkably light enclosures.
 Digital controller (DSP) onboard for utmost operating safety.
