The KL 12 fits within the logic of current active speakers: a complete, ready-to-use system where amplification and processing are integrated and optimized to work together. Here, the goal is clear: to offer stable and predictable performance by limiting compromises related to amplifier-speaker pairings and ensuring quick deployment in the field. Thanks to dBTechnologies' DSP and the use of linear phase FIR filters, the KL 12 aims for more coherent sound dispersion, with listening that remains intelligible and balanced over a wide area.
With its 2-way configuration and 12-inch speaker, the dBTechnologies KL 12 is designed for sound reinforcement in live and event contexts, as well as for any situation requiring an autonomous, efficient, and quick-to-install system. It is particularly suitable for bands, DJs, service providers, communities, or venues seeking an active speaker capable of providing main sound reinforcement, occasional fill, or a satellite system within a larger setup.
In practice, this type of 12-inch active speaker excels when balancing presence in the low-midrange (useful for vocals, guitars, keyboards, brass) and definition in the upper spectrum to maintain articulation without harshness. The KL 12 thus positions itself as a coherent solution for stage, conference, hosting, and music playback, prioritizing clarity and consistent listening.
The advanced DSP processing embedded in the KL 12 is a central element of its signature: it is not just about equalizing but organizing the system's behavior to achieve cleaner and more consistent reproduction. This results in better control of the transition between the woofer and the compression driver, and a sense of "held" sound, especially when the mix becomes dense.
The KL 12 features linear phase FIR filters. Practically, this approach aims to more finely align the system's phase response to improve temporal coherence. In use, this provides a more stable listening experience, with better precision in transient attacks and a more "anchored" sound image. The benefit is especially noticeable when multiple listeners are positioned in different locations: the reproduction is designed to remain uniform and crystalline over a wide listening area.
With its integrated amplification rated at 800 W, the KL 12 combines power and efficiency in a DSP-driven system. This design allows full utilization of the transducers (12" woofer and 1" driver) while maintaining controlled behavior, tailored for performance: consistent settings, controlled dynamics, and steady output from one use to another. The compression driver, equipped with a 1.35" voice coil, contributes to precise high-frequency reproduction, essential for vocal clarity and detail definition.
