Active speaker with DSP

The PA 12 DSP from the box is a budget-friendly and versatile active full-range speaker with impressive power reserves and a huge sound. Housed in a sturdy plastic bass reflex cabinet and sporting a 12" bass driver and a 1" horn, this two-way system can serve as a PA with an onboard two-channel mixer and digital signal processor, as a monitor speaker or, thanks to the 45-degree slant on the rear panels, as a floor wedge, and the whole thing tips the scales at just 17kg. Five M10 flying points, a 35-millimetre pole mount, and four rubber feet ensure optimum versatility for installation.

High SPL and useful presets

Together, the 12" LF driver and 1" horn deliver up to 128dB of sound pressure over a frequency range of 50Hz to 20kHz, with a combined output of 800W (peak). The digital signal processor comes with several useful factory presets that are easy to use. The DSP is operated via the encoder to the right of the backlit display, and the connection matrix below the display has two inputs with XLR/jack combo sockets and gain knobs with printed volume recommendations. The second channel features an additional mini-jack input, and the XLR output can be used to feed the inputs to another speaker, bypassing the DSP.

Perfect for small venues

The active two-way PA 12 DSP system from the box is perfect for smaller events, and a setup consisting of two PA 12s is easily enough for a crowd of about 150 people. Bands, mobile DJs, and singer-songwriters will all appreciate this little powerhouse, which delivers fantastic sound quality thanks to its DSP and is quickly adaptable to various situations. The DSP-powered speaker will handle acoustic music, Rock bands, club sounds, and highly compressed chart songs just as well as speech, and that is why the PA 12 DSP is also a good choice for presentations and conference applications.

About the box

Price-conscious customers are often interested in the brand's active and passive speaker systems, bass cabinets, keyboard amplifiers, and drum monitor systems.

PA and monitor speaker

The built-in digital signal processor of the PA 12 DSP offers several presets that can be used to adapt the speaker to various situations that frequently occur in PA applications. For example, the "Speech" preset emphasises the frequencies of the human voice and thus increases intelligibility, and the "Music" preset boosts the frequencies below 80Hz by about 3dB for a more solid bass response. The DSP menu also includes a choice between PA and monitor, a three-band EQ, a high-pass filter for use with external subwoofers, and a delay with a maximum delay time of 16ms for daisy-chaining.

The box PA 12 DSP
StonerJesusOfDoom 11.04.2018
I use this speaker for vocals when i'm practicing with my band, so i can tell you that if you get it for a band practice, this boy can get really really loud ( way more than you would need). That being said, i strongly believe that, in order to preserve the quality of the speaker, you shouldn't use it on 10 everytime. So, with that in mind, getting a more powerful PA was a great decision. Really well made, both in terms of sound and build quality. Overall it's a great product!

PA12DSP vs DSP112 = 1-0
Ionlab 12.06.2020
I was already a fan of the Box Pro DSP115 and when the time came to purchase 12s my first choice was the Box Pro DSP112. What a disappointment they were...they just could't produce the required SPL's for my case. I was ready to purchase a pair of Yamaha DBR12 when I decided to give these a chance. All I can say is WOW.....I don't know how it is possible but these babies can go much louder than the DSP112. And featurewise they are identical. I am glad I gave these babies a chance. The only thing that I would have liked is a cloth or grille for the horn so that I would not have to constantly obsess about a tiny particle falling in there. So if you are on a budget look no further. Great sound for a great price.

Good sound for the price
Royce 17.01.2021
First, the handles are great. Easy to lift/carry. DSP is cool as well. The sound can be very similar to higher priced ones. Not that amazing, but surprisingly good for its price.
