dBTechnologies DVA M2M + M2S – Compact professional line array system
Professional line array sound in an exceptionally compact format
The dBTechnologies DVA M2M + M2S together form a compact and professional 2-way active line array system from the DVA MINI series.
The system consists of a DVA M2M Master Module and a DVA M2S Slave Module. The M2M features integrated DIGIPRO G3 amplification and DSP, and can drive the M2S directly. This creates a very compact system solution with less cabling, fewer separate components, and a low total weight.
The DVA MINI series is designed for applications including:
- Live music
- Rental
- Small and medium-sized events
- Theater
- Churches
- Convention centers
- Clubs
- Ballrooms
- Installations
- Mobile PA
The system can be used both ground stacked and flown.
M2M + M2S – Master + Slave
The unique feature of this system lies in the Master + Slave concept.
The M2M is the active master module.
The M2S is the slave module.
The amplification in the M2M drives both its own speakers and the M2S.
The M2M features two Class-D amplifier sections:
- 200 W RMS for LF
- 200 W RMS for HF
Together this delivers 400 W RMS total. Official documentation also lists a peak power of 800 W.
This means you don’t need a separate power amplifier for an M2M + M2S combination.
Two 6.5-inch neodymium woofers
Both the M2M and M2S feature:
2 × 6.5-inch neodymium woofers
The woofers are equipped with a 1.5-inch voice coil.
dBTechnologies utilizes a specially designed dual phase-plug.
This construction helps reduce horizontal phase overlap and ensures even and controlled dispersion.
Two 1-inch neodymium drivers
For the high frequencies, each module features:
2 × 1-inch neodymium compression drivers
These drivers are vertically aligned and coupled to specially designed DVA MINI array horns.
This ensures the M2M + M2S is developed for clear and highly intelligible high-frequency reproduction.
90° horizontal dispersion
Each module has a specified dispersion of:
90° horizontal × 15° vertical
By combining multiple modules, vertical coverage can be further tailored to the desired application.
This makes the DVA MINI ideal for venues where controlled dispersion is critical.
Fast and easy rigging
The DVA M2M and M2S are designed with a Fast Lock mechanism.
Instead of complex loose hardware, modules can be quickly coupled together.
Available splay angles are:
0° – 1.5° – 3° – 4.5° – 6° – 8° – 10° – 12.5° – 15°
This allows the array to be adjusted for the required vertical coverage.
Lightweight line array
One of the major advantages of the DVA MINI is its low weight.
The official datasheet states:
M2M: 7.7 kg
M2S: 7.1 kg
This makes the system attractive for mobile productions where transport and setup must remain simple.
DVA M2M + M2S for live music
For small and medium-sized live productions, the DVA MINI can be an effective FOH solution.
For example for:
- Acoustic bands
- Cover bands
- Theater
- Presentations
- Live entertainment
- Clubs
- Small concerts
The compact size also makes the set less conspicuous than larger line array systems.
DVA MINI for installation
The DVA M2M + M2S is not exclusively intended for mobile applications.
Official documentation also mentions permanent installations in:
- Theaters
- Churches
- Convention centers
The relatively compact design can be an advantage when speakers need to be integrated as discreetly as possible.
DVA MINI for rental
For rental companies, the flexibility is particularly interesting.
The system can be deployed for various productions without the need for large and heavy line array elements.
Think of:
presentation → corporate party → theater → live band → club → conference
The combination of low weight and integrated amplification also makes the system easy to transport and set up.
DVA M2M + M2S and subwoofers
For extra low-end, the DVA MINI can be combined with a suitable professional subwoofer.
The DVA MINI can be used as a compact top system, while subwoofers handle the deeper bass.
