Fulfilling Full-Range
Legendary output and clarity with full-range performance that will make audiences think you brought a sub. Extremely wide coverage delivers clean, loud, and full sound over the whole room.
Makes It All Good
Your reputation is valuable. Your time is valuable. You need a speaker that's flawless for every gig. If you need to cover the largest number of people with the smallest number of boxes, you're looking at the right loudspeaker.
Get High, Go Low
Every feature of the DV12-MK3 serves to deliver the ideal performance in its intended role: on a pole, wide horizontal for wide rooms, tight vertical for intelligibility at distance. Plenty of power for any level: plug-and-play processing handles the rest.
Built for the long haul.
CNC-machined 15mm Birch plywood with full internal bracing and dado joinery, bonded in high-pressure polyurea: waterproof, rugged, textured black. Eight M10 fly points and a 35mm steel pole socket give you mounting options for any venue. Powder-coated perforated steel grille. This cabinet is built to survive touring, not just weekend gigs.
Smart enough to run itself.
The MK3's 96 kHz DSP doubles the pushbutton presets to 8, and stores up to 100 via ControlBASS software. Every preset ships with meticulously tuned EQ, high-pass and low-pass filters, phase alignment, and multi-stage limiting. Firmware updates are loaded remotely: your speaker gets smarter without touching a cab.
Power where the crowd feels it.
A 2,400W Class D channel drives a 12″ neodymium woofer with a 4″ voice coil: high efficiency, extended low-end reach. An 800W channel powers a 3″ diaphragm compression driver on an isophasic waveguide for clean, controlled highs. The MK3 amp update delivers higher output voltages for more impact and universal voltage compatibility for international touring.

Two minutes later the chef runs into the ballroom freaking out because $500 worth of plates fell off the walls in the kitchen which was on the other side of the wall behind our setup. VS21’s under those DV12s. Can’t make this sh!!? up!!

I am always getting compliments for the sound quality at parades and car shows. The sound carries for several blocks... The bass you hear (and feel) in front of the port is the same bass you experience a block-and-a-half away! No other speaker has that much fidelity at that distance - none. BASSBOSS for the win at these events!

I think this video says it all, but I'll elaborate below anyways Got nonstop compliments about how clear and full it sounded. For the band, we were just barely tickling the limiter on the DV12 at the loudest sections. I kept asking the client if it was too loud, and they continuously told me "hell no! This is amazing!". Pushing 96db a-weighted at FOH, but no pain. The stock tuning on these is immaculate. Client commented afterwards that this was the clearest they've ever heard a vocal, and I've provided PA for them numerous times in the past. They could hear the difference, and frankly, I agree with them.

I bought 2 SSP118s a year or two ago and finally gave in and bought the DV12s. The tops sound great! Hard to describe the difference but there’s no comparison between the brands. The BASSBOSS tops and subs are just so much more powerful. Best sound purchases I’ve ever made.
