General

The DRX-12BA is an active 12-inch subwoofer by DAP Audio. This powerful unit has a 600W built-in amplifier. With this subwoofer, the only additional requirements for a healthy dose of bass are an XLR cable and a power cable. The DRX-12BA combines a surprising light weight with a solid housing. This model weighs less than 19 kg. Its housing is made of 15mm thick plywood which has been finished with scratchproof black lacquer. The recess on top lets you mount a distance rod for a satellite speaker.

DAP Audio DRX-12BA: Properties

The frequency response of the DRX-12BA starts at 47 Hz and therefore includes tangible low frequencies. For additional punch, the 12-inch woofer is assisted by the double-ventilated bass reflex housing. A fan keeps the amplifier cool and indicators tell the user when the limiter is activated. An active limiter (80 Hz HPF) divides the frequencies for subwoofer and satellite speaker. HPF can be bypassed if desired, for an unfiltered audio reproduction. Phase reversal and ground lifting can be controlled at the rear, so that the DRX-12BA performs optimally in whatever configuration. A great choice for a compact all-round PA setup with full-rangers from the DRX series.

Commandé un premier caisson en 11/2022 pour associer avec des satellites en 8 pouces. Déjà très étonné par le rendement. Très bien pour de petites fêtes dans de petites salles. Sans compter, le rapport poids, encombrement, qualité du son et prix qui est pour moi excellent. Du coup, profitant à nouveau d'une belle promo, je viens d'en commander un second. Un petit caisson avec un bon rendement.

Je viens de tester ce caisson basse seul avec des satélites JBL amplifiés. et c'est le caisson qui cogne le plus fort, avec des bonnes basses profondes excellent pour équouter du funk (rappersdelight ou de la housse, dance etc...).

La définition de la basse ( lorsqu'on équoute le caisson seul: ce qui n'arrive pas en soirée)n'est pas aussi parfaite que la DAP DLM-12SA , mais le DAP DLM-12 SA cogne moin fort !

J'ai également testé le SAMSON AURO D1200 qui était mon second choix après DAP DRX-12BA .

Donc pour moi après 1 heure de test excellent caisson !

Tres bon petit sub pas trop lourd a transporter.(C'etait un de mes criteres aussi!)

Suffisament puissant pour apporter l'assise dans le grave qui me manquait avec mes deux enceintes Montarbo NM250A.(8")

J'ai maintenant un systeme equilibré de diffusion pour les petits groupes ou pour les soirées dansantes.

Très bon rapport qualité prix.

Prijs kwaliteit verhouding is super! Mooi diepe klank. Ik gebruik de sub mono enkel voor aansturen van de lage diepe klanken. Voor de prijs is er een goede aanneembaar druk gevoel aanwezig zeker voor zijn 600 watt rms vermogen. Heb er eerst 1 aangeschaft om te kijken of hij bevalt, na 2 weken testen en van alles er mee gespeelt te hebben ben ik zeker over gehaald om er nog 1 bij te bestellen.



De levering van bax-shop blijft geweldig!! 5 * voor de sub van dap audio en bax-shop!

More Bass with QSC K Cardioid Subwoofer and E Series

Thursday 12 January 2017 By Lizanne

With a regular subwoofer, you can often lose low tones. QSC has found the solution to that problem and named it the K Cardioid. They plan to officially launch this active sub at the 2017 NAMM show next week. It has a cardioid directional pattern at its core which effectively prevents low frequencies from escaping via the rear or sides of the cabinet, resulting in more bass and a higher sound pressure level!
