Thanks for purchasing a product designed and developed in Italy by dBTechnologies! This ergonomic and versatile active speaker is the product of several years of experience and innovation in the sound reinforcement industry, using cutting-edge sound, electronic and material research solutions.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The new active OPERA speakers are equipped with a 1" compression driver (output: 1.4") for the high section. A 10", 12", and 15" transducer (voice coil: 2") for medium-low frequencies, is fitted on OPERA10, OPERA12, OPERA15 respectively. These speakers main features include:

• an ergonomic, compact and versatile project that can be used in monitoring for small live contests
• acoustic asymmetry of horn for high frequencies, optimized for efficient use in different indoor and outdoor situations
• reliable and silent amplifier that does not require active ventilation
• input (up to 2) versatility of use, for instance for the amplification of a voice and an instrument at the same time
• versatility of output connection, for audio relay of the mixed signal or LINK
• presets that can be selected for an equalization through DSP for any type of use

USER REFERENCE

To make the most of your OPERA speaker, we recommend that you:

• Read the quick start user manual included in the package and this user manual thoroughly and keep this manual during the whole life of the product.
• Register your product at http://www.dbtechnologies.com under "SUPPORT".
• Keep proof of purchase and WARRANTY (User manual "section 2").

MECHANICAL AND ACOUSTICAL FEATURES

DIMENSIONS

The OPERA series has been designed with the intent to optimise weight and dimensions.

The cabinet is lighter but more resistant, and features 2 handles, one on the side and one at the top, for easy handling.

For a quick comparison of the 3 models, the overall dimensions are the following:

OPERA10 - 300 mm (L), 552 mm (H), 301 mm (W)

OPERA12 - 349 mm (L), 642 mm (H), 350 mm (W)

OPERA15 - 420 mm (L), 772 mm (AH), 419 mm (W)

SOUND COVERAGE

The special design of the horn, shown in the figure, is common for all 3 models.

In horizontal, the coverage is differentiated between the value of 85^ (upper part) and 120^ (lower part).

This is to optimise sound emission, for example during vertical installation in reverberant environments.

The special design of the horn, shown in the figure, is common to the 3 models. The overall vertical opening (85°) is asymmetrical, to increase the sound pressure of the horn at long distance.

In case of use with monitoring function or in case of horizontal positioning (wall-mounted) of the speaker, take these data into account so as to calculate the correct coverage of the environment.

25° -60° 85° 85° 120°

Class D digital amplifier is at the heart of the OPERA series. The system is silent and does not require a fan cooling. The system is controlled by a dedicated powerful DSP that manages the different parameters.

The sound amplification power is 600 W RMS for all models.

WARNING!

• Protect the unit from moisture.
• Never attempt to disassemble the amplifier in any way.
• In the event of a malfunction, remove power supply immediately by disconnecting the unit from the power mains and contact an authorised repair centre.

It is possible to connect up to 2 inputs in the input and control section at the back of the speaker. Following are only few examples of configuration used (1 input and 2 inputs).

CH1 (1): it is possible to connect a source through a cable with balanced or unbalanced connector (TRS, XLR). Select the input type using the Input Sensitivity Switch. In particular, in case of microphone input, select "MIC".

CH2 (2): it is possible to connect a source through a cable with balanced or unbalanced connector (TRS, XLR). Select the input type using the Input Sensitivity Switch. In particular, in case of input with high impedance, such as the one of a guitar or a bass guitar, select "Instr". Instruments or devices with line impedance (such as a keyboard or a stereo player) require instead a "LINE" setting.

Adjust the level of each connected channel.

Once inputs are connected, select the correct DSP preset (1).

In case of problems related to ground loops, it is possible to solve the problem by setting the relevant selector (3) to the correct position, as shown below.

POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION

- Connect the power cable to the socket (7), then set the turning on selector (6) to ON. The Limiter LED (3) blinks briefly.

It is possible to connect the output of an OPERA speaker to a second speaker using a cable with XLR balanced connector, which connects the output (2) of the first speaker to the input (5) or (4) of the second speaker. Set the relevant selector to "LINE".

The Out Routing Selector (2) in "CH1 link" position allows providing the output of the second speaker with only the signal coming from the CH1 (5) channel. In the "Mix Out" position, it allows the CH1 (5) and CH2 (1) channel mixing.

WARNING!

Use only good quality cables.

Replace any damaged cable to prevent malfunctioning and sound poor quality.

• Types of installation other than those here described are not allowed.
• Never use the handles to suspend the speaker
• Always check that the positioning is stable and that the installation does not pose a danger to people, animals or property
• Install on horizontal surface not inclined, otherwise an additional mechanical fastening or a belt fastening is required to correctly fix the installation.

USAGE ON STAND

1 OPERA speaker can be installed on a tripod stand, coming as standard option with a 35 mm diameter pole. The maximum allowed height between the speaker base and the floor is 160 cm.

WARNING!

- Use a suitably sized stand with the central leg pointing forward to provide appropriate stability.

In some cases the OPERA series speakers can be used as monitors for small live contests. In this case, lay them horizontally on the tilted side. Be reminded of the sound coverage features reported in the relevant section. Use the suitable DSP settings as indicated in the "DSP preset" table in wedge mode (W1, W2, or FLAT).

WALL-MOUNTING WITH BRACKETS

The OPERA models can be wall-mounted in vertical or horizontal position through the WB-OP10, WB-OP12, WB-OP15 accessory, to be used with OPERA10, OPERA12, OPERA15, respectively.

For further details refer to the instructions relevant to this accessory.

INSTALLATION ON TRUSS WITH BRACKETS AND ALISCAFF COUPLERS

The OPERA models can be installed on a truss in vertical or horizontal position, through the WB-OP10, WB-OP12, WB-OP15 accessory, to be used with OPERA10, OPERA12, OPERA15, respectively. This accessory allows the use of aliscaff couplers (not included) for this special configuration.

For further details refer to the instructions relevant to this accessory.

WARNING!

- Never suspend the speaker from the handles!

Please read the corresponding manuals for more details.

The speaker will not turn on:

1. Check that power supply is present upstream of the installation.
2. Ensure that the power supply cable with VDE connector is properly plugged in.

The speaker turns on but produces no sound:

1. Check that the input connections of the audio signal (CH1 and/or CH2) are carried out correctly.
2. Check the cables for damage.
3. Ensure that the mixer or audio source is on and an output signal is present.
4. Check that the input levels (CH1 and/or CH2) are appropriate.

Speaker sound is distorted or not sufficient:

1. Adjust the first source volume, then set the input (CH1 and/or CH2) gain to an adequate level. Check the cables for damage and replace them as required (a damaged cable may lead to signal loss or alteration).
2. Check that the input selection settings (CH1 -> Mic/Line, CH2 -> Line/Instr) are correct with respect to the source
3. Check that the "DSP preset" settings are suitable for the use selected.

A background hum can be heard:

1. Disconnect all connected devices and turn power supply off.
2. Check that the Ground Lift switch is correctly set.
3. Check the connection cables for damage.
4. Connect cables again and turn speaker on.
