About the Response DB1
The ProAc Response DB1 is a high-end stand-mount speaker that achieves the scale and bass response typically associated with larger enclosures. It features a cabinet constructed from varying thicknesses of high-density MDF, damped with bitumen to minimize resonance, and a rear port. The driver complement includes a 127mm (5-inch) long-throw bass/midrange unit with a Pagina Mica (mikapulp) cone, elastic coating, raised spider, linear motor system, and ProAc acrylic pole damping phase plug. The tweeter is a 25mm (1-inch) silk dome with special coolant. The crossover uses premium components on a dedicated board with multistrand oxygen-free copper cable, supporting bi-wiring or bi-amping. It offers low coloration in midrange and treble, detailed highs, and extended, punchy bass, paired with a wide soundstage. Designed for versatility with tube or solid-state amplifiers.
