The DD set: design speakers for studios and events
Ever the optimal choice for studios, events and large spaces, our Sophie DD set consists of two perfectly balanced, artistic design speakers paired with two powerful subwoofers. Whether you’re mixing, recording, performing or simply listening, these design speakers will always leave a lasting impression with any audience that hears and sees them.

The DS-set: design speakers for powerful, centralized sound
Dedicated spaces deserve dedicated sound. With the DS set of Sophie design speakers, you’ll be able to create a comprehensive experience in a wide range of specific scenarios – from listening rooms and media rooms to professional presentations, the twin Sophie design speakers and their single subwoofer companion will easily create the perfect soundscape.


 


The Sophie DD set – design speakers for studio use
All too often, professional PA speakers are kept out of view. In the studio, at events or in other high-performance applications, quality sound is associated with bulky form factors that are to be concealed rather than displayed.



With the introduction of the DD set, B.A.S. has proven that form and function are not mutually exclusive. This versatile set of slim Sophie design speakers and powerful Bob subwoofers shows just how beautiful professional sound can be – not only to the ear, but to the eye as well.



Overview
Want to know more about our unique design speakers? Learn about the features and characteristics that make the DD set such a superb choice for professional studios.



Sophie design speakers
Sharp, crystal-clear sound with power and soul – that’s what Sophie brings to the table. Despite their thin profile, these design speakers incorporate everything you’d expect from professional PA monitors.



The Sophie design speakers are 4-way speakers; the high frequency range is carried by a 1” neodymium compression driver and the mid frequency range is carried by two 3” domes whose ferrite magnet cores guarantee a crisp, clear output. Two 10” ferrite cone bass speakers round out the sound experience – one dedicated to mid-to-low frequencies, the other operating in full range mode.



Together with Sophie’s eye-catching looks, this technology gives our design speakers an impressive presence.



Bob subwoofer
Developed by Sound Projects for professional studio applications, the Bob subwoofer is a force to be reckoned with. Its 12” long coil woofer is housed in a case that has been tuned all the way to 30 Hz, enabling it to provide superior power and punch in the low range while our design speakers handle the higher ranges.



Controlling the gain
The electronic Gain Chain delivers reliability due to its use of proven N-max technology, Dual Audiologic Level Control (DALC) and multiple MICRO-AMP units. N-max is a proprietary low-noise gain structure from input XLR to speaker terminals.



The virtual, inaudible gain riding DALC and 24dB/oct filters control the individual 600 W MICRO-AMP from each driver and guards the tonal balance of each of the Sophie design speakers. An additional MICRO-AMP amplifier with its own power supply controls the 12” long coil subwoofer.



N-max effectively prevents excessive speaker excursion, burned coils and amplifier clipping.



Configuration
The DD set consists of two Sophie design speakers and two Bob subwoofers. This dual configuration offers maximum versatility; with two powerful sources providing crisp, full range sound, the design speakers and their subwoofer companions can be set up exactly where you need them, allowing for superior sound quality in a wide range of professional applications.



Fully customizable design speakers
The standard color for Sophie design speakers is a bold, seductive red – but you can also choose to customize your speakers according to your own tastes. B.A.S. has various options to choose from.



Choose from a rainbow of colors
Would you prefer your design speakers in a different, custom color? We’ll gladly accommodate your requests. All you have to do is let us know which color you prefer – we’ll make a custom price quote for you and ensure your speakers match your tastes.



Mesmerizing wooden design speakers
In addition to our standard and custom colors, B.A.S. also offers an especially unique version of the Sophie design speakers. Carefully sculpted from layered wood and lacquered with a strong, clear finish, this model reveals a breathtakingly intricate play of lines in a bold design.
