OPERA UNICA 15 cod. 420120270Q REV.1.0
Thank you for choosing a dBTechnologies Product!
The new OPERA UNICA 15 is a lightweight and versatile active speaker, designed for the use in live or installed
scenarios. It is equipped with one 1” compression driver (1.75” voice coil), and one 15” neodymium woofer (3” voice
coil). The dispersion pattern is asymmetrical on vertical axis, and it is diversified (top and bottom) on the horizontal
one. This allows a good coverage also in case of reverberant environment. The amplifier (900 W RMS) is controlled
by a powerful DSP, which use FIR filters in audio real-time processing. Eight presets are available for different
equalization settings, in stacked or wedge use. Various optional accessories are available for all configuration needs.
RDNet connections enhance the control possibilities also in complex scenarios (for example in multiple installations).
