Response DB1
Small appearance with large stage presence. Meet the Response DB1
With the DB1, ProAc has achieved in a small speaker, a sound normally associated with a larger speaker, particularly the bass response.
The DB1 cabinet is made from different thicknesses of high density MDF and further damped by bitumen to control cabinet resonance. A newly designed long throw bass driver was used and ported at the rear. The cone is made from pulp and mica which is then elastic coated and fitted with our ProAc acrylic pole damping phase plug.
The crossover was designed to give a flatter response at high levels and the tweeter is the ProAc 1-inch silk dome similar to that used in other ProAc Response models.
The midrange and high frequencies of the DB1 are superb and in the ProAc tradition, low in colouration and high in detail. The bass driver gives a wonderful bass quality, punchy and extended, similar to that which is experienced in a larger enclosure. The resulting sound stage is also comparable to that of a larger speaker.
Small mini monitor type loudspeakers, such as the DB1 have become very popular for those wishing for a high-quality sound with a minimal visual impact.

"We have a great reputation for our entry level speakers sounding similar to our high-end speakers. This is because we get the balance correct between bass, midrange and high frequency to give that ProAc family sound."
