LD Systems DAVE 12 G3 Compact 12in Active PA System Overview
LD Systems DAVE 12 G3 compact 12" Active PA System overview from GAK
Hailed by LD Systems as "The perfect active PA system for high-powered live gigs, multimedia presentations and permanent installations", the DAVE 12 G3 active PA System is a formidable array with ample sonic clout, strength and portability.
Included in the array is the bass reflex subwoofer that delivers clean low frequencies through its 12" sub and 2.5" voice coil. Dual satellites pack 6.5" drivers and HF horns that provide crisp top end clarity and natural sounding mids.
Built into the sub cabinet is the 2.1 power amp stage that feeds the system components with 2000 W peak power and produces a maximum SPL (continuous) of 119dB. Enough juice for high volumes and clear output for a range of applications.
For complete, intuitive control over the system output, the LD LECC DSP digital signal processor is what LD systems refer to as the "Soul" of the DAVE 12 G3 system. Providing those all important functions including amplitude and low-latency optimised crossovers, separate equalisers and limiters for the low, mid and treble frequencies as well as a dynamic processor controlling the subwoofer.
Each speaker is encased in a sturdy multiplex cabinet and features protection circuits, RCA, XLR/Jack input and Speakon-compatible connectors. Each unit is a breeze to carry around as low weight is met with intuitive designs, ergonomically shaped recessed handles make carrying the satellites simple and the LD "Evolutive" handles found on the subwoofer are smart metal ring handles that allow you to grip the unit from any angle (watch your back!).
With a large amount of power and a sturdy gig-ready design, the DAVE 12 G3 Active PA system is suitable for life on the road or as a permanent instalment.
