SYA12 Rev1.0cod.420120309Q
Thank you for choosing a dBTechnologies Product!
The SYA 12 is a versatile active speaker. It is equipped with one 1” compression driver (1.35” voice coil), and one 12”
woofer (2.5” voice coil). The multiple input pattern allows an easy and versatile use. For example the user can
connect a dynamic microphone (CH1), an independent source from a mixer (CH2), a Bluetooth MP3 reader (CH3),
controlling each volume level. The user can enhance lower and upper frequencies with the convenient DSP preset
function. A balanced link output allows the audio connection to a second loudspeaker, choosing among “Mix” or
“Line” output type.
