| | New Sound Reinforcement Products | dB Technologies DVA K5
The new K5 active line array from dB Technologies (priced per configuration) features a Class-D 500-watt RMS Digipro G3 digital amplifier. The DVA K5 is capable of reaching up to 129 dB SPL and offers technological upgrades partially derived from the most recent model of the series, the DVA T8. The line array module features 2.25-inch drivers, a 6-inch neodymium midrange and an 8-inch neodymium woofer.

The module's electronics and components are housed in a sturdy polypropylene box, reinforced with an internal anti-vibration metal structure that drastically reduces any resonance.
