Het mobiele en actieve 18" PA-systeem DAVE 18 G3 kenmerkt zich niet alleen door een aantrekkelijk geluid, maar ook door een eenvoudige bediening en bediening. De subwoofer wordt geleverd met 2 satellieten en overtuigt met zijn heldere, dynamische en vooral in het middenbereik zeer krachtige geluid.
De gesloten satellietluidsprekers zijn uitgerust met 10"/1" coaxiale drivers, de basreflex-subwoofer met een 18" luidspreker. Om overbelasting van de 4800 Watt (uitgangsvermogen) klasse D versterkermodules, beveiligingscircuits en multibandbegrenzers te voorkomen, werden beveiligingscircuits en multiband begrenzers geïnstalleerd. Verschillende connectoren zoals XLR, 6,3mm jack en cinch-ingangen zorgen voor flexibiliteit en gebruik van verschillende signaalbronnen. Er zijn ook onafhankelijke systeem- en subniveau-besturingen en fase-omkeerschakelaars en Speaker Twist-compatibele satellietverbindingen beschikbaar.
As an all round DJ, I bought this Dave 18 G3 system recently to change my old Mackie SRM 450 and additional subwoofer speakers. (who did a great job over the years.)
The reason I changed was because the mackies are quite big and heavy 2 top speakers and the sub require power cables too. The dimensions were quite bulky too, So I always needed a trailer when I needed to set this system up.
Therefor, I was looking for a more compact 2.1 hybrid system for my next purchase, that can fit in my car, but still delivered the power of my mackie system.
I chose for LD systems because ive read very good comments about the quality and price setting.
I must say, Im really surprised in the positive way, even though I had real high expectations because of the rare but great reviews about this system.
Pity that the musicstore do not have these speakers in demo, because they are really worth a try in the demo room.
The dave 18 G3 system is a very compact 18" inch system, and very easy to set up.
The top speakers are very small and light (less than 10kg) and only require speakon cables. (which arent delivered with the system, by the way. You must buy them separately).
Nice thing about the tops are that the tweeter is built in, inside the midrange tweeter. It results in harmonized and very high quality highs without being harsh at all.
Then the sub woofer... Oh boy... The first time I tested this system, I was literally shocked about the power it delivers. If you look for a deep bass... dont look any further. This is it!
Sometimes the bass is a bit too overwhelming (thats why I gave it 4 stars), but after playing a few gigs with it, my experience is that you can always find a correct balanced sound with some good adjustment of the sub level. (It depends every time on the room youre in).
And the sound quality? It is really top level sound quality. Here is an indication why. Since I use the Dave 18 G3 I did not have received any complaints anymore of loud sound. And I can assure you, I do play loud.
The sound is also balanced in all frequency ranges. There is no lack of ‘mid’ like most of the times for systems like this.
For it’s price range, quite unbeatable I must say.
Be informed that this system is a 2.1 system. You can’t add extra top speakers to 1 system. But there is a line out for each channel in order to add an extra system or even other brands powered speakers.
I also ordered the full cover kit with caster board. The top speaker covers aren’t padded (which is strange) the subwoofer cover is padded a bit. The caster board is of very high quality finish, just like the speakers itself. The total kit is ok I guess.
This system capable of performing gigs in a room 300m². You’ll have plenty of power, so not too worry.
One last thing:
Delivery was 4 days after purchase. Beware: The box around the subwoofer is not very strong, so my first set was delivered damaged by the courier. Not to worry, Musicstore arranged it so that I could pick up a new system. Thank you Musicstore!
Would I recommend this system: Hell yeah!
Being an All-Round DJ for almost 20 years with my own setup this is the best purchase I’ve ever done regarding professional speakers. It fits in a (station)car, It’s lightweight in its class, it has plenty of power, and a really smooth sound palette.
I will purchase a second system quite soon.
