BASSBOSS DV12-MKII 12" 2-Way Powered MicroMain Speaker (Product Spotlight) | 😱 $7,000 Speakers

[@robertfleischmann4119]

I've used my DV12-MKII speakers for a couple years now. I also have the matching subs (3 x SSP118's), but I primarily use the tops for outdoor gigs. Crystal clear sound and punchy bass blocks away! They are a beast to transport and handle, but the quality can be heard and felt.

[@davidgeorge1294]

Who cares how it looks, it's how it sounds and nothing sounds better. I love the looks.

[@TheMajerFamily]

I love the way it looks. I have a Bassboss 18 inch sub and love it. I have never redlined it.

[@mjolles1976]

I am pulling the trigger on these and the 15” subs!! Can’t wait to have the !!

[@DesmondNoel]

Finaly a dj with bass boss and after covid game changer

[@tonysouth8039]

Bassboss is the real deal. I hear some complainers on the price. You get what you pay for. I have 2 of the ZV28s and 2 of the VS 21s. That combo will play down to 20hz and kick you in the chest(HARD). Which is funny because most people don't even know what 20hz even sounds like or feels like. You made a great purchase. I also am running SRX 15s for tops and want to upgrade to these tops soon.

[@joshbooth7624]

Man you can tell it has good punch and good sound even through the camera mic. I bet they're amazing in person!

[@djcoalcut9399]

Plan on getting these to go with my BassBoss VS21s 🔥🔥🔥. These are next level sound and build quality.

[@thinkingchristian]

I have a pair of the VS21's and they're amazing

[@jamesalan7041]

So USA you love the sound quality and punching this and SPL levels of the vs 21 cuz those are the subs I have been thinking about getting and I really like the way they look and I like the fact that they have produced the same amount of SPL as a double 18 box so you're saying those are fire and worth it

[@ptownjbo06]

Bassboss is unbeatable.

[@DJFiezta]

About time he did a BassBoss review

That's what I'm saying

[@naughtyniggadynasti3]

Definitely my dream set up it’s amazing how the Dj technology keeps advancing

[@bigbawsz2054]

I’ve heard these at the Namm show before COVID in LA. They blew every single brand out the water there wasn’t even a close comparison. Their sub will make your heart skip beats no lie!

[@kutzaudiolive979]

YUP.....that's pretty much on point......especially the KRAKEN!!!!

[@freddieriojas6818]

I bet you they won't beat the rcf art 945a system, rcf is a quality brand and is known for there care and craft in there speakers. Side by side comparison RCF will win 4inch vc for the tweeter driver that thing is a beast. I bet if you do a side to side comparison compared to bass boss. I'm a person I care aby the quality of sound. And RCF just sings to you and is regarded as high fidelity and close to studio monitors.

[@bigbawsz2054]

@@freddieriojas6818 actually bassboss was up against jbl, rcf, qsc, rcf, ev and I think fbt some Italian brand. It blew them all outta water man no lie and I am jbl biased I’ve used jbl forever lol. Kinda made me upset made jbl look bad

[@djlobos3104]

That speaker is another level bar

[@motadotfm]

Random question: Why are subwoofers always placed on the floor? Is bass meant to be felt through the floor with our feet? I get the practical standpoint that subs are usually heavy and wouldn't hold up on a stand - but just wondering if that's the only reason.

[@mattholmes2808]

it all depends on the enclosure bandpass sealed ported horn loaded cardiod. how the sound engineer manufactured the speaker and specs

[@kenfiedler549]

Simply bass especially subs are usually felt and not heard, most people can’t hear below 35-40 hertz but can feel it. The bass you “hear” is usually mid bass. Hence why subs are usually on the ground. If you put a full range speaker on the ground shooting at peoples feet, the energy is lost very quickly in the high end due to the sound waves moving quickly and being absorbed. Subwoofers are omnidirectional in a natural format. Cardioid subs let the energy shoot more frontward and cancel out rearward. I fly subs in arenas all the time and we use it more for imaging the large format PA. Also subs on speaker stands (they don’t exist) would be very ineffective for most DJ applications, including the reason they aren’t designed for that and it’s completely unnecessary to be head height, due to being omnidirectional. 2 way top boxes should be over head height for maximum throw distance and not shooting into peoples ears.

[@AudioGiant1979]

It’s called ground coupling. You get an extra 3-6db of spl. Actually if you have a wall next to them it works even better. We do fly(hang) them time to time depending on what our space limitations are but it takes more power to do that as you lose the extra sound you get from coupling. Hope that helps.

[@koproductions8266]

Even through the camera the sound quality sounds A1 🙌🏽 definitely wish it looked better for the price but bass boss Probably knew the quality would speak for itself

[@storm1437]

Very true it sounded well detailed even through the camera...

[@bobfleischmann5208]

I own several Mackie SRM 450's and a pair of DV12 Micromains... While I love the Mackie design, I can't argue the sound quality of BassBoss. They have poor ergonomics though. The handles are in funky places (Mackie handles are on the sides), they are hard to lift, and the bottom loaded velcro bags are ONLY for protection - they don't even have pockets for cords and such. Even with all the inconvenient handling features, they sound amazing! I will never do an outdoor gig with Mackies again... BassBoss all the way. BTW, I also own three BassBoss SSP118 subs.

[@cjabclll3389]

Let's go he is back with another banger

[@mr3ggo79]

Good Stuff! Hell i thought i was splurging when i bought a pair of Yamaha DZR but looking at the price tag on these bad boyz the pair i bought didn't even beat the price of just one of these lol

[@raypena1516]

I dreaming of owning a pair Bassboss loudspeakers. My plan is to set them up in my house.

[@TravisKidd]

Would these be good for a live band situation or mainly for DJ?

[@kendrickjarias]

Hey 👋, do you think these are better than your srx speakers???

[@AudioInsight_SA]

yes they are better than the SRX but the RCF TT25a is better than both in my opinion when it comes to clarity and loudness

[@johnmcquay82]

Very nice speakers; I've never heard them in the flesh. If I ever get to the point of having that calibre of speaker, I'll check them out. I love KV2 Speakers, but damn, they're a lot of money...worth it though.

[@davidgeorge1294]

Get the $17,000 Kracken sub. Kaboom.

[@djtheoevents]

The finish makes them look waterproof? Duraliner ?

[@timglesing3772]

Thanks so much for doing this review. I saw them at a DJ Conference a couple of years ago and was blown away by the quality of sound. I plan on getting a pair hopefully soon. So... quick question on this. Are these speakers 50 lbs. or 63 lbs.? I have seen differing answers on this. Either way, sounds like they are phenomenal, but I was just curious on that. Thanks again!

[@ggk7605]

What is it with people and bathtub sound? Compared to ANY professional speaker in this pricerange, the bassboss dv12 are garbage. No flat response, awfull rigging, heavy, strange coverage pattern (compareable to y10p from d&b).....

[@bjentertainment9208]

Yeah that sounds pretty amazing but unfortunately in Australia there are over $5000 one speaker. When you convert the US dollar to Australian dollars when it hurts.

[@kutzaudiolive979]

you get what you pay for......welcome to the bassboss family.

[@hot4futureyears2come]

Nice speakers. I agree with you Barr. Today's speakers are tuned great. so in the past we had to sometimes bring another mixer to tune the hell out of the speakers. but now a days the output of a Rane mixer or nexus mixer of even a S9 is all you need.

[@edwardthomas166]

[@unfree.radical]

The look is easily overcome with speaker scrims for those hosting weddings / private events where aesthetics may be a detractor to the client

[@wbuttry1]

If you dont like the look of the horn paint it so you do not see the orange horn. I like them honestly something different and I know Bassboss hits hard heard them myself.

[@truestory2227]

I’ve considered 3 way powered but these are smaller and sound better???

[@storm1437]

Bro this speaker sound quality is well detailed....

[@geraldmcclaren]

I'm a beginner dj. I went to a demo downtown Los Angeles. I had listened to several subs and none of them come close to Bassboss deep bass. The bass is so clean and it kicks really hard. The Dv12s are an amazing pair of speakers. The clarity of those speaking are fantastic. Bassboss dj equipments are top notch and high-end. You get what you pay for. I had bought the Bassboss 15 inch a couple years ago. I had played for my wife birthday and the Bassboss was really bumping in the hall. I have a pair of Yamaha Dsr115 15 speakers.

[@DJMichaelKhoury]

Love the Yamaha DSR Series! I have the 112s, but these I have heard nothing but amazing things about!

[@franklynthree]

there is integrated DSP in these speakers just no screen . in reguards to the statment made at time point 5:57

[@samquicky3052]

You should get some with 2X zv 28 subs

[@Audioaffair553]

Another thing you get is their customer service and the warranty. If you blow any speaker in 2 years it is covered no question. It is nice when a company stands behind their products.

[@eklektek5032]

I actually like the way it looks. Speakers be looking generic and boring. These look dope.

[@DJILLEE]

I've been curious about these. I feel like these are right at the point of diminishing return. Anything more expensive than this for mobile work I think you'll be wasting your money. A single set of speakers can only sound so good lol.

[@kutzaudiolive979]

as soon as you can....catch a demo of these, and im pretty sure you'll have a different opinion. bassboss is a VERY thin line between mobile and tour grade sound.....aww hell, it IS mobile tour grade sound!

David and Bassboss make great products, but you would have been much better off buying used L Acoustics, or Meyer sound. You would have saved yourself a lot of cash.

[@tremorb2998]

Which Meyer Sound top is comparable to these?

[@Spectre361]

With enough boxes An arcs over SB28 , or MSL-4 over 700hp, or 1100LFC would be all a mid sized company would ever need & its versatile. Best of all if you know where to look it’s cheaper & with the right tech will sound amazing.

[@Spectre361]

@@tremorb2998 How important is a compact size to you? Are we only considering the used market in order to save $ ???

[@tremorb2998]

@@Spectre361 I had the Bassboss VS21's, sold them to scale back down. So money plays a factor. I was thinking about getting the DV12's for a long time but I never pulled the trigger due to price. Now that they have gone up in price, that makes my decision a little easier even though they are damn good speakers. I had been looking at the Meyer Sound speakers on the used market But I haven't heard them.

[@_jurawz]

From what I've seen people only use it if their powered tops if they don't have any type of DSPs so they use them to cut the frequency and let it play from 100hz and up so that they can use subs without overheating the tops ig

[@truestory2227]

I think the looks is just a statement to say “this is considered the best” btw I think it looks baddass

[@DJMikePellak]

Most high end professional Dj Speakers have no on/off switch. Most Higher End RCF don't have it. The HDM45A are premier speakers... Only 48 pounds, Extremely loud, Amazing Bass and cost way less than the DV12... Not to mention it has handles all over , super easy to move around and put on a speaker pole or sub!

[@ggk7605]

A speaker using Powercon should ALWAYS have an on/off switch. Powercon only recently got "upgraded" to be pluged in and out under load. Earlier connector will burn and corode over time

I understand your logic about getting more EV speakers however buying Bassboss speakers have been my best investment in sound hands down!!! My ETX kit can not even compare to Bassboss. Not even a little. The quality sound and power Bassboss pushes out is spectacular! My clients are blown away with my VS21 Subs! 1 Bassboss VS21 Sub easily outdoes 3-4 ETX Subs.
