d&b
Sys tem real ity As the name implies a d&b audiotechnik system is not just a loudspeaker.
Nor is it merely a sum of the components: loudspeakers, amplifiers, accessories and software. Right from the outset the d&b audiotechnik approach was to build integrated sound reinforcement systems that actually are more than the combination of parts: an entirety where each fits all. Every element is tightly specified, precisely aligned and carefully matched to achieve maximum efficiency. For ease of use,
all the user-definable parameters are incorporated, allowing
the possibility of adjustment, either via remote control surfaces or directly on the amplifiers. Neutral sound characteristics leave the user all the freedom needed to realize whatever the brief. At the same time d&b offers finance, service and support, a knowledgeable distribution network, education and training as well as technical information, so the same optimal acoustic result is achieved consistently by every system anywhere, at any time. In reality: the d&b System reality.
The Installation range of d&b loudspeakers and amplifiers incorporate specific technologies, to fit a multitude of application needs. Whether an aesthetically sensitive room, a rider driven performance space, a particularly reverberant area, or a multipurpose venue, a d&b solution delivers optimal sonic results and visually unobtrusive design. With permanent integration in mind, the installation products have been developed together with precision accessories for flexible, discreet deployment. The Special Colour option sees cabinets blend seamlessly into place, preserving the integrity of sightlines and dĂŠcor to ensure minimal distraction and maximum experience. For cabinets located outdoors, the Weather Resistant option protects against the elements, regardless of conditions. The Digital Signal Processing power of the dedicated installation amplifiers provides comprehensive loudspeaker management, switchable filter
functions, remote capabilities and user-definable control, as well as GPIOs and enhanced system status monitoring features, to fulfil the distinct requirements of every task. The d&b workflow integrates d&b software and amplifiers, to make installing permanent solutions an even easier business. The d&b ArrayCalc simulation tool allows a complete electroacoustic solution to be planned ahead, through system design, performance prediction and optimization. For control and monitoring, all final data is assimilated by the d&b R1 Remote control software, which can be accessed at different levels according to users’ needs. Extensive setups benefit from the intuitive graphical user interface and centralized control of the complete system, while smaller setups can be monitored via the integrated web interface, which permits the direct management of individual amplifiers via a web browser.

V-Series.
The Vi loudspeakers are a verifiable recipe for success. Intended for medium to large scale, rider driven installations, the 3-way passive Vi8 and Vi12 line array models provide 80° and 120° horizontal dispersion respectively, maintained down to 250 Hz. The cardioid Vi-SUB can be flown at the top of a Vi8 and / or Vi12 line array, providing an impressive rejection of energy towards the rear of the cabinet. These loudspeakers are the installation specific versions of the mobile V-Series. They are not only compact, but blend effortlessly into surroundings with their sleek cabinet finish and integrated rigging. However, it isn’t their smart looks, exceptional directivity control or remarkable low weight that sets the Vi loudspeakers out from the crowd. It’s the gainful advantage that comes with outstanding headroom, extraordinary power capacity, dynamic bandwidth and an extensive range of accessories. Not to mention all cabinets and rigging hardware can be sensitively RAL matched to interiors or protected against adverse conditions by the Weather Resistant finish.

Y-Series.
With the epitome of line array loudspeakers and a new generation of point sources, the Y-Series offering is all-encompassing. Including dedicated subwoofers, this comprehensive Series addresses small to midsized applications. From concerts and church services to symposiums and car expos, the Y-Series meets the individual needs of each and every discipline. The versatility of the Y-Series is matched with advanced components: drivers in dipole arrangements, innovative waveguides and port designs, as well as rotatable horns. In essence all Yi loudspeakers house two 8” low frequency drivers for transferring a vibrant and transparent performance, while a 1.4” compression driver delivers precise and velvety high frequencies. The lightweight Yi7P and Yi10P point source loudspeakers offer horizontal dispersion angles of 75° and 110° respectively and ensure horizontal directivity control down to 500 Hz; beneficial
especially in reverberant or acoustically challenging environments. Meanwhile the compact, passive 2-way Yi8 and Yi12 line array modules provide, in turn, 80° and 120° horizontal dispersion, while sharing a frequency response extending from 54 Hz to 19 kHz and patented, integrated three point rigging. The omnidirectional Bi6-SUB features an 18” driver and provides extended excursion capabilities, while the arrayable, cardioid Yi-SUB offers a precise and dry low end. The Yi loudspeakers are designed for integration within permanent installations, differing from the mobile Y-Series in cabinet construction and mounting hardware. To protect all this, the Yi cabinets are coated with an impact resistant paint finish, with Special Colour matching and a Weather Resistant option available as needed.

xC-Series.
The 2-way passive xC-Series column loudspeakers are elegantly engineered to provide effective, discreet solutions for acoustically challenging environments. The streamline 16C, 24C and 24C-E all incorporate 4“ drivers in a special design radiating through waveguide elements at the front and damped ports at the rear of the cabinet. The resulting cardioid dispersion pattern, along with a nominal dispersion angle of no more than 90° minimizes side emissions caused by wall reflections in the low and mid frequencies, eliminating cancellations and reducing the stimulation of the reverberant field, and increasing gain before feedback. Furthermore, the 24C loudspeaker achieves remarkable vertical directivity control down to 370 Hz, which is increased by a complete octave when attached to the dedicated 24C-E column extender. The 24C features a HF array with a nominal 20° vertical dispersion, which is mechanically adjustable from 0° to -14° to exactly target the audience listening area. All xC cabinets are fitted with two continuous rails at the rear, enabling the loudspeakers to be fitted as close and parallel to the wall as possible. With the xC-Series available in black or white as standard or specially colour matched to interiors, the d&b columns guarantee maximum intelligibility with minimal visual disturbance.

Acce ssories. Not w itho ut the trap pings.
Just a few examples: Pipe clamp, Horizontal bracket, Flying frame or Super clamp; mechanical accessories to fix, fly, hold or attach d&b loudspeakers for all their worth. In sum, d&b offers more than a hundred accessories, not just universal ones, but Series specific as well; meticulously tailor made for purpose and designed for setup and use within situations requiring compliance with the provisions and directives of the DGUV regulation 17 (formerly BGV C1). Trappings to adhere to.
More in tegr at io n. The d&b workflow transports a project from concept to reality with the greatest of ease. In just a few steps, this integrated approach brings d&b solutions to life, consistently, efficiently and comfortably. With system design, performance prediction, control and monitoring in hand, time saved for fine tuning and artistic taste ensures audiences everywhere experience sound reinforcement exactly as intended. Aarhus Musikhuset, Aarhus, Denmark
Simulation.
The d&b ArrayCalc simulation software is the planning tool for accurately configuring d&b line arrays, column and point source loudspeakers and subwoofers, in any given space. ArrayCalc provides a virtual platform for precisely predicting the actual performance of a system, taking account of level and switch selection, the alignment of flown and ground stacked loudspeakers and subwoofers as well as safety parameters and rigging. What’s more, the software’s optional ArrayProcessing feature optimizes the tonal and level balance of V-Series and Y-Series line array systems across an entire listening area, significantly improving the consistency of frequency response over distance, and seamlessly correcting for air absorption. ArrayProcessing also applies a target frequency response to different loudspeaker columns, giving each array the same sonic character regardless of Series, column length and splay settings. Whether a temporary or permanent solution, modelling any d&b system flows smoothly through each step and decision. Ultimately all final data, including specified loudspeaker types and amplifier settings, is integrated within the d&b R1 Remote control software.
Remote control.
The d&b R1 Remote control software transforms the ArrayCalc simulation data into a project specific user interface, in which the system is presented graphically, channel by channel, loudspeaker by loudspeaker, grouped functionally as well as visually. This is the foundation, the depiction of everything to be controlled and monitored: a complete system configuration. Faders, buttons, dials and displays to control equalization, delay, CUT, HFA, HFC, Coupling, Mute and Power, and for preparation in advance, even an offline mode is included. The R1 Remote control software is the virtual centre of any d&b Remote network, unlocking a relaxed approach to the d&b amplifiers wherever they may be located; be it from a laptop in the control room, mix position or somewhere in the auditorium.
Amplifiers.
The all-embracing functionality of the d&b amplifiers can be accessed via the d&b Remote network, through either Ethernet or CAN-Bus, providing all the power to effectively control. All d&b amplifiers incorporate sophisticated Digital Signal Processing capabilities for comprehensive loudspeaker management, switchable filter functions, remote capabilities and user-definable controls. Not only that; every d&b amplifier features analog and AES / EBU digital inputs for each channel, in addition to the System check, Input and Load monitoring functions, overvoltage protection, temperature and signal controlled cooling and switch mode power supplies.
Amplifiers.
The d&b amplifiers are designed specifically to power d&b loudspeakers and are the beating heart of all d&b systems. The dual channel D6 and D12 amplifiers offer 4-band parametric equalizers, along with 340 ms of signal delay, while the 10D, 30D and D80 amplifiers provide two user-definable 16-band equalizers with parametric, notch, shelving and asymmetric filters and up to 10 seconds of delay, all of which can be applied to each of the four channels. The 10D and 30D are dedicated to installation systems and as such, perfectly fulfil the needs of any permanent sound reinforcement requirement. Whether discreetly integrating inside a venue or operating in a rider driven performance space, these devices provide installation specific functionalities, including enhanced system status monitoring features and GPIOs for extended input routing capabilities. The D6, 10D, 30D and D80 amplifiers all provide active Power Factor Correction, providing unparalleled performance and absolute efficiency. All in all, the amplifiers do more than drive d&b loudspeakers; they realize the full potential of the d&b system approach.

An empty model of the venue, depicting shape and size, curves and obstacles, is first defined within the d&b ArrayCalc simulation software. Within this virtual space, the electroacoustic design, incorporating loudspeakers, placement, levels and configurations is created, enabling the exact sonic results to be predicted and perfected. This comprehensive simulation data is assimilated by the d&b R1 Remote control software, which automatically generates a graphical user interface depicting every detail. R1 transfers all final settings to the d&b amplifiers for complete control and monitoring of the system, with further adjustments possible from a central location. Accomplished with maximum ease and efficiency, what follows is live, the real life of the venue: the exceptional sonic experience.
