LD Systems DAVE 18 G4X Professional Compact Sound System

Whether as a DJ, live combo, solo entertainer or at the next party: for daily live practice you need an all-round PA that convinces on all levels - with a professional sound for different applications, with a variety of connections and accessory options for fast and flexible setup on site as well as with maximum reliability. In a nutshell: your PA has to do its best around the clock.

With the DAVE 18 G4X, the search has come to an end. The active compact PA consisting of an 18" subwoofer and two satellites with 8" configuration (total power: 4000 W peak) not only offers a new, modern design with numerous handling optimizations, but also an integrated 6-channel mixer with all important input options. This allows you to create a wide variety of setups and combinations of instruments, vocals and playback devices - wired and wireless thanks to integrated Bluetooth for easy streaming via a smartphone or tablet.

The first two channels of the mixer are designed as a channel strip. Here you can optionally connect a microphone, a high-impedance instrument - for example guitar and bass - as well as line level sources. For the sound design, a 2-band EQ for bass and treble as well as an adjustable reverb with three presets (small, large, plate) are available. Channels 3+4 are designed as stereo line inputs and are suitable for keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines or small electric drum kits.

The DAVE 18 G4X becomes even more versatile when you use the digital SPDIF stereo input or Bluetooth connection to expand your performance setup with a media player, computer or smartphone that allows you to play and control backing tracks, sound effects or pause music. Likewise, the inputs (channels 5+6) can be used for a karaoke system or simply to play a TV set in the sports bar with official sound.

Speaking of official sound: The DAVE 18 G4X has been designed and developed from scratch. This benefits not only instruments and music, but also speech intelligibility when PA is used for speech reinforcement. The acoustic concepts include new compression drivers and waveguides for homogeneous and directional dispersion as well as FIR filters and state-of-the-art DSP technology for a transparent, color-free sound that you are not used to from a DAVE so far. For example, the subwoofer has been equipped with a larger voice coil and an optimized bass reflex system to reduce ventilation noise to a minimum.

In general, the DAVE 18 G4X is predestined for flexible use. Last but not least, the selectable mode presets for classic stereo use or the setup with two closely adjacent satellites on a T-tripod above the subwoofer contribute to this - the DAVE G4X convinces in all configurations. For example, the last described preset enables interference-free clustering of two satellites through a special M/S splitting and playback of the stereo signal for more headroom and directivity.

LD Systems has also thought of all common applications when it comes to accessories. The range extends from custom-fit bags, over a rolling board to the mentioned T-tripod.
