dB Technologies B-Hype BH12 12" Active Speaker

Compact cabinet, superior sound. With its ultra-portable design, the dB Technologies B-Hype 12 is the ideal choice for mobile performers. Don't let its size deceive you though... This compact audio monster is capable of pumping out a whopping maximum SPL of 126dB. Even at those levels, the B-Hype 12 still retains all the detail and clarity of your music.

Put a pair of these out front, and your audience won't miss a single beat. With an innovative horn design, your sound is projected with exceptional accuracy across an extended area for a show that everyone can enjoy. And with the ability to function as a high-performance stage monitor, this 12'' powerhouse is as versatile as it is powerful.

No matter what you're playing, you want it to sound great. That's exactly what you get with the dB Technologies B-Hype 12. Designed to give you an enormous sound from a compact cabinet, you can rely on your B-Hype loudspeakers to get your audience going.

A compact and ultra-lightweight polypropylene enclosure holds a premium woofer and compression driver, as well as the custom-made Class-D power amp. These work in harmony to produce sound pressure levels that you'd never expect from a system of this size. And it's not all about the volume either. Even when they're pumping out the levels, every aspect of your sound is guaranteed to be reproduced with astounding accuracy and impact.

Plus, with unique preset EQ options, you can tune the speaker for the best possible audio performance. Choose 'FLAT' to retain the transparent frequency response, or 'BOOST' to boost the active signal. With B-Hype, power and detail go hand in hand to create a show that your audience will never forget.

Phenomenal portability

From one gig to the next, your B-Hype loudspeakers take the pain out of setting up and packing down. With an ultra-lightweight design, transporting and positioning your speakers is a breeze. Three handles, one on the top and two on the sides, provide you with an ergonomic solution for carrying and maneuvering your cabinets. Whether it's from the van into the venue, or from the floor to the top of a stand. Getting your speakers setup shouldn't be difficult. And with dB technologies' B-Hype series, it's not.
