Stage Monitors with Incredible Dispersion

You might sing a pretty tune after you take these dBTechnologies Opera speakers for a spin. Their power, innovative DSP processing, and ease of use are nearly unprecedented at this price point. First, a powerful 600-watt Class D amp with advanced 56-bit DSP processing with linear phase FIR filters delivers smooth and pristine sound from every listening position, helping every audience member feel like they have the best seat in the house. Next, Opera’s asymmetrical horn has been completely revamped, resulting in an optimized throw pattern that has stunned Sweetwater live sound engineers with how well it disperses audio. Finally, eight selectable EQ presets ensure you have optimized audio even before you run through the board.

dBTechnologies: innovative audio technology propelled by pure passion

Arturo Vicari planted the seeds of dBTechnologies in 1973 when he founded A.E.B. (Acoustical Engineering Bureau) Industriale s.r.l., a leading manufacturer of broadcasting equipment, in Bologna, Italy. In 1990, A.E.B. began operating in the pro audio sphere, giving official rise to dBTechnologies. One thing that genuinely distinguishes dBTechnologies is the company’s considerable commitment to R&D. This investment has continually earned the company widespread recognition for its innovative designs, producing lightweight, efficient products with outstanding sound pressure levels. Today, dBTechnologies stands among the most respected industry leaders in active speaker and digital amplifier technologies, with amplified audio systems, such as the award-winning ViO series of powered line arrays and subwoofers, installed in top-ranking venues worldwide. Here at Sweetwater, we count many top touring artists and world-class venues as friends and customers, and we’re thrilled to be able to elevate their crafts with industry-leading sound-reinforcement solutions from dBTechnologies.

  • 600W RMS / 1,200W peak power
  • Redesigned asymmetrical horn has an optimized throw pattern and incredibly consistent sound dispersion
