• LD Systems presents the new DAVE G4X Series

    LD Systems has launched the new DAVE G4X Series. 10 years after the release of the long-running DAVE G3, the DAVE G4X is available in four sizes and performance classes – from the compact DAVE 10 G4X to the DAVE 18 G4X, which features a 18” subwoofer.

    The models available are the DAVE 10 G4X (2 x double 4” satellites + 10” subwoofer, 680 W), the DAVE 12 G4X (2 x 6.5” satellites + 12” subwoofer, 1,460 W), the DAVE 15 G4X (2 x 8” satellites + 15” subwoofer, 2,060 W), and the DAVE 18 G4X (2 x 8” satellites + 18” subwoofer, 4,000 W).

    All of the DAVE G4X versions now feature an integrated 6-channel mixer for a variety of setups consisting of microphones, instruments, line-level signals and auxiliary players – wired and wireless, thanks to integrated Bluetooth for easy streaming via a smartphone or tablet. The mixer’s first two channels are designed as channel strips, allowing for the optional connection of a microphone, a high-impedance instrument – guitar and/or bass, for example – and line level sources. Stereo line inputs 3 + 4 are suitable for keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, or small e-drum kits. Unusually, the is a digital SPDIF stereo input, as well as Bluetooth connectivity. This way, the setup can be expanded with a media player, computer or smartphone to play backing tracks, sound effects, intermission music, or to use the DAVE G4X as a karaoke system.

    In addition to the enhanced functionality, changes to the electro-acoustics include new compression drivers and waveguides, as well as FIR filtering. In addition, the subwoofer has been equipped with a larger voice coil and an optimised bass reflex system to reduce port noise.

    There are selectable mode presets for classic stereo use or a setup with two closely spaced satellites on a T-stand above the subwoofer. This latter preset, reportedly allows for the interference-free clustering of two satellites through a special M/S division.

    LD Systems has also thought of common applications when it comes to accessories. The range extends from custom-fit bags to a roller board and the aforementioned T-stand. A pole mount stand and a wall mount for the satellites are also available especially for the DAVE 10 G4X sound system.

    The three bigger models of the series DAVE 12 G4X, 15 G4X and 18 G4X are available now. The DAVE 10 G4X model will be available from the beginning of 2023.
