dB Module

Website:https://www.dbmodule.nl/

dB Module is a small Dutch loudspeaker maker from Dordrecht, founded by Hans de Bakker, whose speakers are built around cast concrete enclosures. The idea behind the material is simple - a cabinet heavy and inert enough that it adds nothing of its own to what the drivers, amplifier and cables deliver. The Model 2E is the company's current two-way monitor.

Range & what it's known for

The Model 2E grew out of the earlier Model 1 and keeps the two-way layout with one tweeter and one woofer. The woofer is a German-made 130 mm unit with a 100 mm aluminium cone, paired with a titanium dome tweeter behind a protective grille. Each cabinet weighs about 22 kg, has an angled baffle, a downward-firing reflex port and a 3D-printed passive crossover. A rear switch attenuates the tweeter. Cabinets can be ordered in RAL colours at extra cost, and two optional stands exist.

Who owns it and where it's made

dB Module is a private workshop run by its founder in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, where the concrete enclosures are designed. No parent group is involved.

The lineup in this catalog

Bookshelf loudspeakers. The Model 2E represents the brand here and is also listed under the alternative dbModule spelling. The listed price is EUR 1,995 per speaker.

Who it's for

The Model 2E suits a listener with a small or mid-size room who wants a compact monitor with a non-resonant cabinet and can accommodate its weight, ideally on one of the brand's own stands.
