Compact and powerful column PA

The dBTechnologies ES1002 is a sleek, compact column speaker system that combines impressive power and precision, making it a top choice for DJs, bands, and entertainers alike. Driven by an advanced 1,800W Digipro G3 Class D amplifier, the ES1002 produces up to 130dB SPL, delivering dynamic impact for any event. The system pairs a subwoofer with two 12" bass-reflex drivers, housed in a slim 36cm-wide enclosure, with a column top featuring eight 4" full-range drivers. Thanks to its innovative design, the top module offers asymmetrical vertical coverage, reducing sound dispersion above the audience while delivering clear, intelligible audio throughout the listening area. Compact, durable, and highly portable, the ES1002 is engineered for demanding performers and event organisers seeking reliable, high-quality sound reinforcement.

Class leading features and control

The dBTechnologies ES1002 delivers a frequency response of 43Hz to 20kHz, offering a balance of deep bass and crisp, clear highs that suit diverse performance settings. The top column's newly engineered phase plugs enhance horizontal coverage while maintaining exceptional vocal clarity by reducing phase interference and enhancing projection. The integrated DSP features eight EQ presets - including Playback, Bass Boost, Speech, and Live Music - allowing precise adaptation to any venue or event. Advanced phase alignment further optimises sound clarity, while the user-friendly control panel features a combo XLR input for microphone or line-level signals, an RCA input with independent volume control for playback devices, and a balanced link output for connecting additional systems or stage monitors.

Portable and adaptable

The dBTechnologies ES1002 combines portability with adaptability, making it an ideal choice for a variety of events and venues. Weighing just 29.3kg for the subwoofer and 5.8kg for the top module, the system is lightweight, allowing for a quick and effortless one-person setup. Designed to provide sufficient sound coverage for indoor audiences of up to 250 people, the ES1002 can function as a standalone system or in pairs for stereo configurations. Its wide dispersion angle of 100x40° ensures even coverage across large spaces, while its rugged plywood construction, coated with a scratch-resistant finish, guarantees durability during frequent use and transport. These features make the ES1002 a practical and reliable solution for musicians, DJs, and event organisers.

About dBTechnologies

In the mid-90s, dBTechnologies was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of A.E.B. Industriale s.r.l.. Since then, the company has established itself as one of the world's leading suppliers of professional sound systems. Today, dBTechnologies is present in more than 100 countries with its own sales offices or representing distributors. In the mid-2000s dBTechnologies switched to digital amplifier technology on its own initiative and as one of the first manufacturers in the industry, and can look back on more than 10 years of experience in the development of digital power amplifiers and their environments, including power supply and Digital Signal Processing. Their current catalogue includes active and passive loudspeakers, power amplifiers, and electronics as well as wireless systems for a wide range of applications from musicians and DJs to event technology service providers and permanent installations.

Effortless setup, dependable performance

Setting up the dBTechnologies ES1002 is intuitive, and accessible even to less experienced users. The subwoofer acts as the central hub, housing the amplifier and control panel, while the top module is securely mounted using the included distance rod. Inputs include a combo jack for mixing consoles and an RCA input for playback devices, both with independent volume controls for added flexibility. After assembly, a suitable DSP preset can be selected to optimise the audio output for the specific venue or event. With its advanced phase alignment ensuring consistent performance and a compact footprint that fits comfortably even on smaller stages, the ES1002 delivers outstanding results. Included protective covers for both the subwoofer and top module add yet more practicality, making this system a powerful and portable solution for professional sound reinforcement anywhere.

A lot of punch for the price!

MattW 16.01.2020

Very impressive sound out of this system. The mid-highs being an array carry through to the audience very well. The bass is tight and punchy, having a decent maximum SPL.

just a few things.

Welshbehr 30.03.2023

While these are great speakers for the money generally, one or two things i would consider to improve the overall use.
1 - a better power switch. I have come across similar power switches on other high powered speakers and over time they do fail. Probably due to high current. Maybe a delayed relay would be better. I think Powecon instead of IEC would also be more pro.

2 - A balance control between the upper units and the sub unit. The DSP is useful, but in certain situations rolling off the bass isn't the same as just simply setting the level. I believe that the RCF units at the same price offer this.

3 - The cases from DB are really overpriced. They need to re-evaluate the margins their making for what are essentially soft cases. There seems to be no options from what I see. Bit of a captive market!

On the good side, they are generally well screwed together, when you get you mix levels right they sound great and kick out plenty. (sometimes too much)
