LD Systems DAVE 12 G4X

Description

Whether as a DJ, live combo, solo entertainer or at the next party: for daily live practice, you need an all-round PA that convinces on all levels: with a professional sound for different areas of application, with a variety of connections and accessory options for fast and flexible setup on site, as well as with maximum reliability. To put it in a nutshell: your PA has to give its best around the clock.

With the DAVE 12 G4X, the search is over. The active compact PA consisting of a 12'' subwoofer and two 6.5" satellites (total power: 1460 W peak) not only offers a new, modern design with numerous handling optimizations, but also an integrated 6-channel mixer with all important input options. This allows you to create a wide variety of setups and combinations of instruments, vocals and feeds - wired and wireless thanks to integrated Bluetooth for easy streaming via a smartphone or tablet.

The first two channels of the mixer are designed as channel strips. Here you can connect a microphone, a high-impedance instrument - for example guitar and bass - as well as line level sources. A 2-band EQ for bass and treble as well as an adjustable reverb with three presets (small, large, plate) are available for sound shaping. Channels 3+4 are designed as stereo line inputs and are suitable for keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines or small e-drum kits, among others.

The DAVE 12 G4X becomes even more versatile when you use the digital SPDIF stereo input or the Bluetooth connection to expand your performance setup with a media player, computer or smartphone, which you can use to play and control backing tracks, sound effects or break music. You can also use the inputs (channels 5+6) for a karaoke system or just to play a TV in the sports bar with official sound.

Speaking of official sound: The DAVE 12 G4X was designed and developed from scratch. This benefits not only instruments and music, but also speech intelligibility when the PA is used for speech reinforcement. The acoustic concepts include new compression drivers and waveguides for a homogeneous and directional dispersion behavior, as well as FIR filters and state-of-the-art DSP technology for a transparent, coloration-free sound that you are not used to from a DAVE so far. The subwoofer, for example, has been equipped with a larger voice coil and an optimized bass reflex system to reduce ventilation noise to a minimum.

In general, the DAVE 12 G4X is predestined for flexible use. This is not least due to the selectable mode presets for the classic stereo use or the setup with two closely adjacent satellites on a T-stand above the subwoofer - the DAVE G4X convinces sonically in all configurations. For example, the last described preset allows the interference-free clustering of two satellites by a special M/S division and reproduction of the stereo signal for more headroom and directivity.

LD Systems has also thought of all common applications for the accessories. The range extends from custom-fit bags to a rolling board and the aforementioned T-stand.
