Essential Information About the dBTechnologies ES 802 Column PA System
- Mono bi-amplified column speaker with 12-inch subwoofer for solid bass and crystal-clear vocals
- 1200 W peak power and 124 dB max SPL to effectively sound concerts, DJ sets, and conferences
- 8 DSP presets ("Flat," "Bass Boost," "Bass Reduction," "Playback," "Club," "Vocal," "Monitor," "Antifeedback") to adapt to every context
- Plug & play setup: two "top-on-top" tops on a 25 mm pole, easy transport and quick deployment
The Expertise of dBTechnologies Arrays at the Heart of the ES 802
Derived from the experience of the DVA T and MINI series, the ES 802 adopts a "Logarithmic Curved Column Array" where the top transducers are mechanically aligned to widen vertical coverage and ensure even dispersion. A double-ring phase plug optimizes horizontal opening for precise and natural sound reproduction.
The bass-reflex subwoofer made of birch plywood, protected by a steel grille with foam, is designed for the road: scratch-resistant black finish and two recessed handles for effortless handling.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Compact yet ambitious, the ES 802 is aimed at mobile DJs, speakers, acoustic bands, and versatile venues. Used in mono mode (all inputs routed in mono to outputs), it guarantees a coherent sound image in challenging spaces. Need wider coverage? Combine two systems to cover larger stages.
Features and Performance Serving the Sound
The Digipro G3 Class-D amplification platform delivers a high power reserve with low weight. The 24-bit/48 kHz DSP manages filtering, phase alignment, frequency response, and limiters (peak, RMS, thermal) to preserve dynamics while protecting the speakers.
The two tops house 8 x 3-inch neodymium drivers for controlled directivity (95 x 65) and excellent intelligibility. The 12-inch sub complements the set with deep, controlled bass, ideal from speech to club sets.
