ProAc Response DB3

Description

Small, high-quality loudspeakers have become very popular, as they are less visually intrusive and reproduce a quite respectable sound quality. The new Response DB3 has a cabinet size similar to that of the Response DB1. There are structural and visual differences in the Response DB3 cabinet, and it also employs a new bass driver and crossover network that have been chosen for their exceptional performance at a more affordable price.

The new Response DB3 has a wonderfully rich and extended bass quality, loaded with a single reflex port on the rear of the cabinet. The tweeter is our one-inch ProAc soft dome which is used in many other ProAc designs. This one-inch silk dome has a superbly flat response with electrostatic-type detail and sweetness in its qualities.

A newly designed bass driver with a special surround and dust cap allows for additional voice coil feedback, providing a smoother frequency transition to our one-inch dome tweeter. The bass driver is a long-throw design featuring a raised spider and a linear motor system. The new bass driver is responsible for the remarkable bass extension.
