Steve_Mitchell 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Just read Gav`s thread on his new Mackies. I use dB powered cabs (Opera 215) with a db active sub 41.15. The cabs are just 16kg each this weight I can carry them both. They are a little less expensive than the mackie range & lighter and sound great. Doers anyone else use them?

Paul Smith 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I use the Opera 415s. For about 75% of gigs that's all I take and for the rest I use a couple of passive bass bins + amp & an active crossover unit with them. The reason I choose these instead of the Mackies were - cost, size & weight. I've had them for just over a year now and have no complaints about them.

Kingy 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I have auditioned several of the Db cabs and all passed with flying colours! I am considering changing the monitoring on the PA rig and will probably use Db. I have purchased a couple of their radio mics and they work very well. Link to post Share on other sites
jeffwall 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I was impressed last sat ste with your DB's think with the sub they are really good! Lite weight too which is very handy...opposed to the mackie sub and 450's they are really lite http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/beer.gif Link to post Share on other sites

superstardeejay 0 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I believe that Mackie have recently sold the RCF brand and they've been bought by another italian company, dbTechnologies. . Link to post Share on other sites
