dB Technologies Opera Nona 212 Active Loudspeaker

Active Point-Source PA Speaker with True Coaxial Quasi 3-Way Design

The dBTechnologies OPERA NONA 212 is a 2000 W peak active point-source loudspeaker for live performance, DJ setups, mobile PA rigs, and fixed installations. Its true coaxial Quasi 3-way acoustic architecture pairs two 12" woofers with a coaxial mid-high driver for coherent sound across the listening area. The dual-woofer configuration provides 28% more LF radiating surface than a single 15" woofer, extending low-frequency presence while keeping the cabinet compact. This model is the right choice for sound providers and musicians who need touring-grade output from a single self-powered enclosure.

What Sets This Loudspeaker Apart

Linear-phase FIR filters drive the onboard DSP, producing coherent, low-latency audio with high intelligibility from every listening position. The coaxial driver arrangement delivers precise 90° × 60° directivity and far greater resistance to feedback than conventional two-way designs. A 1000 W RMS Class-D amplifier with auto-range power supply feeds both woofers and the compression driver, while peak, RMS, and thermal limiters protect the system during demanding shows.

Who This PA Speaker Is For

This model suits touring bands, mobile DJs, houses of worship, and small-to-medium venue operators who want a single cabinet for main PA, stage wedge, or fill duty. Eight onboard DSP presets re-tune the system for spoken word, electronic music, or live instruments without external processing. Two wedge angles, a 36 mm pole mount, and three M10 rigging points cover floor, stand, and suspended deployments, while the 22.5 kg polypropylene enclosure with integrated handles stays manageable for one-person load-in.
