DVA K5 Rev 1.1 cod. 4201202 2Q
Thank you for choosing a dBTechnologies Product!
DVA K5 is a 3-way active line array module, equipped with: two 1” compression driver exit (1.4” voice coil), one 6.5”
neodymium midrange (2” voice coil) and one 8” neodymium woofer (2.5” voice coil).
The powerful DIGIPR ® G3 amplifier section, capable of handling up to 500 W (RMS power), is controlled by a DSP,
which can perform a detailed customization of the output sound of the speaker. In particular, thanks to the new
dual rotary encoder interface, it is possible to quickly tune the line-array configuration coverage, using the FIR filter
technology.

1) Unpacking
The box contains:
N°1 DVA K5
N°1 100-120 V FUSE
This quick start and warranty documentation
2) Easy installation
DVA K5 can be installed in different configurations.
For a quick installation, in each side (left and right) of
the speaker you can find:
Movable bracket for front mounting (A)
Movable bracket for rear mounting, with splay
angles references for line-array setup (B)
Pin locks for a quick installation (C)
These brackets and pins are used to mount DVA K5
speakers each other in line-array configurations, and
to mount them with accessories (not included) for
different installation needs.
For each configuration choice, please consider the
main acoustic coverage (HxV) of one DVA K5 here
shown: 100°x15°.
Four examples of DVA K5 line-array configurations
(with optional accessories not included) are:

First switch on for line-array setup:
The DIGIPR G3® amplifier of DVA K5 is controlled
by a powerful DSP. All the connections and controls
are in the rear amplifier control panel:
1 – Mains Fuse
2 – Auto-range mains input
3 – Mains (power) link output
4 – Balanced audio input
5 – Link audio output
6 – Service data mini B-type USB port
7 – DSP preset BCD rotary switches
8 – Audio input sensitivity rotary switch
9 – LEDs (Limiter, Signal, Mute/Prot, Ready)
WARNING
The fuse is factory setted for 220-240 V operation.
If it is necessary to change the fuse to 100-120V range:
1. Disconnect the speaker from any ca le
2. Wait 5 minutes
3. Su stitute the fuse with the correct one supplied
Use only ca les with Neutrik® connectors!
a) nce you have properly set up the desired line-
array configuration (see also the DVA K5 complete user
manual and accessories instructions for further
information), connect the audio input (4). Connect the
useful link output (5) to other DVA K5 modules, for the
audio connection of all the line-array elements. Set the
audio input sensitivity (8) of DVA K5 to 0 dB.
b) Check the rear panel reference label for a
proper DSP regulation. In this label you can find the
suggested position of rotary switches (7) for each type
of installation (Speakers Coupling positions and High
Frequency Compensation). These settings are the main
acoustic corrections to create the best coupling
between the elements of your line-array, in order to
obtain the best coverage conditions.
c) Connect the power link (3) to other DVA K5
modules, to link the power supply between all the
elements of your array. Please note that the maximum
linkable rated power and current depends on the first
module connection conditions.
d) Connect the power supply (2) to the first
module. The related “Ready” LED (9) turns on,
signaling the proper power connection. Turn the audio
input sensitivity (8) to the desired level. The “Signal”
LED (9) start blinking at the presence of audio signal
(greater than -20dBu). Avoid audio distortion
conditions, potentially signaled by the “Limiter” LED
(9).
