“Designed for Dillinger Labs by Eleven Engineering in its Canada HQ, Death From Below works with all SKAA Transmitters, all SKAA Pro Transmitters, and all SKAA Nadja Hubs including Soundboks 3, 4 and Go,” explained Rex Whitehead, Dillinger Labs president. “Pro-grade SKAA wireless audio, 100 percent Bluetooth-free, and 100 percent WiFi free, we didn’t just take an AC-powered sub and strap a battery on it. DFB is built and optimized from the ground up to be a battery speaker. No shortcuts. No lack of performance compared to traditional speakers. No BS.”
A carefully choreographed dance of cutting edge electrical, acoustical, and battery engineering makes DFB awesome. A built-in bank of eight ultra-fast film capacitors jacks up DFB’s performance by giving its amps instant access to energy when needed. That is, by ensuring the amps are never starved for power, the resulting enhanced impulse response is what’s behind DFB’s extra-ballsy bass punch. Double the punch with no battery life hit.
“DFB is not just for Soundboks,”Whitehead continued. “Use DFB to complement virtually any full-range PA speaker. Any powered speaker, such as QSC, JBL, Electro-Voice (EV), Mackie, etc., can be converted to SKAA wireless just by adding a pro receiver such as Streetheart by Dillinger Labs. Use up to four SKAA receivers (any combination of Death from Below and any other SKAA receivers) at the same time with any one SKAA transmitter.”
SKAA is the wireless HiFi audio standard developed by Eleven Engineering, Inc. SKAA transmitters work with iOS & Android mobile devices, Mac & Windows computers, televisions, and just about any product with a line output or a headphone jack.
