Miami Beach, FL (September 21, 2026)—dBTechnologies is expanding its Opera family of loudspeakers with the new Opera Nona Series, a pair of dual-10-inch and dual-12-inch models intended for use as a main loudspeaker, floor monitor or mounted system.
The two Opera Nona models, designed and manufactured in Italy for the U.S. market, each sport dual woofers with a coaxial mid-high section to create a quasi-three-way acoustic design. As such, they serve as a midway point in the overall Opera family, smaller than the original two-way Opera models, but more substantive than the Opera Reevo 210 and 212 wide-dispersion, high output loudspeakers intended for rental, event and installation applications.

So the new Opera Nona boxes are designed for musicians, DJs and portable P.A. users, offering direct source connectivity in the form of two balanced combo XLR/TRS inputs with independent level controls. Channel 1 accepts mic or line signals; Channel 2 accepts line signals or a high-impedance instrument source. A balanced XLR output can carry either a direct Channel 1 link or the complete onboard mix, so a performer an connect a microphone and instrument directly, set the levels at the cabinet and feed a second loudspeaker without adding a mixer.
The acoustic section pairs two low-frequency drivers, one with a brand new true coaxial HF section design, creating a quasi-three-way configuration. The system crosses over at 1,900 Hz and produces a 90-degree by 60-degree coverage pattern. Linear-phase FIR processing runs at 24-bit/48 kHz.

The eight-position rotary DSP control provides seven application presets: Club, Vocal, Bass Reduction, Playback, Bass Boost, Wedge Vocal and Wedge Playback. This places upright main-speaker and floor-monitor voicings on the same direct control without requiring menu navigation. Peak, RMS and thermal limiters protect the system as operating levels and program material change. The Class-D amplifier supplies 1,000 W RMS and 2,000 W peak through an auto-range power supply. Its two-amplifier layout delivers 500 W RMS to each section.
The Opera Nona 210 implements two 10-inch woofers with 2.5-inch voice coils and reaches a maximum SPL of 131.5dB. Its frequency response extends from 55 Hz to 20 kHz at -10 dB and from 60 Hz to 20 kHz at -6dB. The cabinet weighs 42.3 lb. I
Meanwhile, the Opera Nona 212 utilizes two 12-inch woofers with 2.5-inch voice coils, reaches 132.5 dB maximum SPL and extends from 48 Hz to 20 kHz at -10dB and from 52 Hz to 20 kHz at -6dB. It weighs 49.6 lb.
