Active PA Speaker With 15" Woofer and Class D Power

The dB Technologies B-Hype 15 is a 2-way active loudspeaker engineered for portable live sound, mobile DJ setups, and small-venue installations. At its core is a 15" woofer with a 2" voice coil and a 1" neodymium compression driver, providing full-range response from 51 Hz to 20 kHz. Musicians and DJs can rely on a custom Class D amplifier that pushes 400 W peak output and reaches a maximum SPL of 126.5 dB—ample headroom for bars, clubs, houses of worship, and rehearsal rooms. This model is the right choice for performers who want a self-powered speaker that pairs high SPL with lightweight portability.

What Sets the B-Hype 15 Apart

Among the notable features in this price tier is the asymmetrical horn design. You get horizontal dispersion of 85° up and 120° down, with vertical coverage at 85° (+25°/-60°) to narrow the throw toward the rear and reduce wall reflections. A 28/56-bit DSP at 48 kHz manages peak, RMS, and thermal limiting and provides a user-selectable DSP preset for enhanced lows and highs. Thanks to its polypropylene housing, the cabinet weighs just 17.4 kg and includes a full metal grille and three carrying handles.

Specs That Matter for Live Sound

These specifications directly influence performance on stage. A 15" woofer with a 2" voice coil moves enough air for powerful low end without a subwoofer. Meanwhile, the 1" neodymium compression driver ensures vocals and instruments remain clear throughout the upper frequencies.

• Frequency Range: 51 Hz – 20 kHz — experience full-range sound from sub-bass to shimmering highs
• Max SPL: 126.5 dB — volume covers medium venues and outdoor gigs with ease
• Class D amplifier design with passive convection cooling delivers 200 W RMS / 400 W peak.
• Balanced XLR/TRS combo input allows for direct connection of both microphones and line-level sources.
• The 36 mm pole mount is compatible with standard speaker tripods and allows stacking on a subwoofer.

Who Should Choose the B-Hype 15

This model suits solo musicians, acoustic duos, mobile DJs, and small bands who want a powered cabinet for vocals, instruments, and playback. With its 45° monitor tilt, the box is equally at home as a stage wedge, while the 36 mm pole mount supports tripod placement or stacking on a dBTechnologies subwoofer. For anyone who values portability, the 17.4 kg weight and three-handle design help speed up loading. Performers who prefer a streamlined setup will appreciate the onboard DSP preset and combo input for a simple signal chain.
