LD Systems DDQ 15 Active PA Speaker with DSP Overview

LD Systems DDQ 15 2-Way Touring Class Powered Loudspeaker with DSP

It's not often you come across a genuine, pro-level, touring class active speaker, but LD Systems have nailed it with the DDQ 15. Built from a Polyurea coated combination of 18mm and 15mm birch ply with a steel grille, this is a cabinet that is ready to withstand whatever you can throw at it.

The heart of this bi-amped speaker is a pair of ultra-efficient 700W Hypex UCD700 Class D amplifiers, giving a total power output of an incredible 1400W RMS and a whopping peak SPL of 136dB. Handling that power with ease is a 15" Faital Pro neodymium driver paired with a rugged 1.75" ceramic BMS tweeter delivering controlled lows, balanced mids and a detailed top end for rich, crystal clear sound. The addition of a DSP-based, 1ms look-ahead limiter ensures that even if a signal manages to overload the DDQ 15, your sound will remain distortion free.

Talking of DSP, the LD Systems DDQ 15 has an in-built 24-bit/48kHz custom Sharc DSP which provides not just the look-ahead limiter but also volume control, crossover, phase alignment, EQ and delay, and even takes care of the comprehensive protection systems you would expect from such a high-end speaker.

Not only is the DDQ 15 an incredibly fine front-of-house speaker but, for larger systems it is also perfectly suited to use as a stage monitor. Designed with an angled cabinet, it can lie at a perfect 50° angle and the asymmetrical HF horn can be rotated by 90° ensuring appropriate HF sound coverage for the performers. With multiple fly points also built-in, the LD Systems DDQ 15 really is the ultimate answer to many of the questions asked of a live sound speaker.
