OPERA 15, Continuing a Highly Acclaimed Series
With the OPERA series, dBTechnologies has built a reputation for accessible sound reinforcement solutions without compromising on quality. The OPERA 15 continues this tradition: a robust enclosure, refined acoustic design, and modern digital processing place this speaker at the top of its category for mobile performances and fixed installations.
Who Is It For and What Venues?
The OPERA 15 is ideal for DJs, bands, schools, and multipurpose rooms seeking a 15-inch loudspeaker capable of both front-of-house sound reinforcement and stage monitoring. Its useful power, intelligibility, and ease of setup make it a relevant choice from bar concerts to event productions.
What Makes the Difference in the Field
Class D Amplification and Power Reserve
The 600 W RMS Class D amplifier (1200 W peak) delivers authoritative bass and clean transients, with dynamic management ensured by Peak, RMS, and thermal limiters.
DSP with FIR Filters and Presets
The 56-bit DSP processing and linear phase FIR filters guarantee a smooth response and stable stereo image. The 8 presets, selectable via rotary encoder, allow adapting the speaker to the venue, music style, or usage (front-of-house, monitor, vocals, etc.).
Asymmetrical Horn for Controlled Coverage
The redesigned asymmetrical horn provides dual horizontal dispersion and optimized vertical dispersion to maintain off-axis clarity and offer effective projection from near to far field.
Connectivity and Ergonomics Designed for the Road
Two Combo XLR/6.35mm Jack inputs (CH1 MIC/Line, CH2 MIC/Instr) and a selectable male XLR output (Link CH1 or Mix CH1+2) simplify audio chains. The polypropylene enclosure, integrated handles, 36 mm pole mount, and M10 points facilitate mounting, rigging, and transport.
