Choosing between d&b families

Line arrays for large venues

Arenas, concert halls and large events use d&b line arrays. The KSL8 is a 3-way module with 145 dB maximum SPL and 80° horizontal coverage at 58 kg, and the XSL8 reaches 141 dB at 39 kg. For mid-size venues, the Y8 reaches 139 dB at 20 kg, and the T10 works as a line array (105°) or as a point source (90° × 35°) at 11 kg.

Point sources and columns for installations

Theatres, ballrooms and conference halls use point-source and column speakers. The xS-Series 10S covers 75° × 50° at 130 dB, the E-Series E8 covers 90° × 50° at 129 dB in a 7.3 kg cabinet, and the xC-Series 24C is a cardioid column covering 90° × 20° at 126 dB for speech in reverberant rooms. The A-Series AL60 covers 60° × 30° at 139 dB.

Discreet and flush-mount models

Where speakers should disappear into the architecture, the d&b 44S is an ultra-compact 2-way speaker with 2 × 4.5-inch drivers, 90° × 30° rotatable coverage and 123 dB, weighing 3.6 kg, available in a flush-mount version for walls and ceilings. It can run on its own or with d&b subwoofers, and several xS and E-Series models come in weather-resistant versions.

System electronics

Amplifiers and presets

d&b amplifiers drive d&b speakers with matched presets. The 5D is a 1RU, half-width installation amplifier rated 4 × 600 W with Dante input, the 40D and touring D40 deliver 4 × 2,400 W into 4 Ω with Milan network inputs, and the D80 delivers 4 × 4,000 W into 4 Ω. The collection also lists prewired touring racks of 3 or 6 amplifiers.

Network bridge and control

The d&b DS10 audio network bridge links Dante or AES67 networks to d&b amplifiers over AES3, with 16 AES3 outputs, 4 AES3 inputs and an integrated 5-port network switch. d&b amplifiers are controlled over Ethernet through the d&b Remote network, using a web interface or d&b R1 software.

Where d&b is used

d&b systems serve concert halls, theatres, arenas and festivals, ballrooms and convention centres, houses of worship, and hospitality venues. Stages use M-Series monitors such as the M4, a 15-inch 2-way wedge with 140 dB and rotatable 50° × 70° coverage. For bass, see Subwoofers, where the d&b 21S-SUB reaches 35 Hz. In the UAE, outdoor venues and terraces call for the weather-resistant versions of xS and E-Series speakers and subwoofers.

Installation and planning

d&b systems are planned in d&b's simulation software before ordering. Gather:

  • Venue geometry: audience area, trim height and rigging points for arrays, or wall and ceiling positions for installed speakers.
  • Connector and version: NL4 or NLT4 F/M connections, and standard or weather-resistant cabinets, as listed per model.
  • Mains: several touring racks and amplifiers are listed as NEMA or US versions; confirm 230 V versions for the UAE.

Rigging uses d&b's own flying frames, wall brackets and mounting hardware, which this collection lists for each series; VSYS, CorporateAV.ae's own mounting brand, makes no speaker brackets. Flush-mount 44S speakers sit in installation boxes, listed in Ceiling & Wall-Mount Speakers.

d&b families in this collection

The d&b range falls into three groups.

  • Line arrays: d&b Y8, KSL, XSL, V-Series and T-Series modules, with matching subwoofers and flying frames.
  • Installation speakers: d&b 10S and xS-Series, 24C and xC-Series columns, E-Series and the 44S.
  • Amplifiers and system: d&b 5D, 10D, 40D, D80, D40 and D90, touring racks and the DS10 network bridge.

To plan a d&b system, use Request a Project Quote with the venue type, audience size and whether the system is touring or installed.

Applications and technical planning

  • Concert halls and arenas

    Large audiences need even coverage at high level. d&b KSL8 modules reach 145 dB, and KSL-SUB cardioid subwoofers keep bass off the stage.

    Explore Subwoofers
  • Ballrooms and theatres

    Point-source and column speakers cover seated audiences clearly. The d&b 10S covers 75° × 50° at 130 dB, and the 24C column keeps speech clear in reverberant rooms.

    Explore Loudspeakers
  • Matched amplification

    d&b amplifiers carry presets for each d&b cabinet. The 5D suits small installations in 1RU half width, and the D80 delivers 4 × 4,000 W into 4 Ω for large arrays.

It also lists d&b amplifiers (5D, 10D, 40D, D40, D80 and D90), touring racks, the DS10 audio network bridge, and d&b flying frames, cables and cases.

Which d&b line array suits my venue?

Choose by venue size. For large venues, the d&b KSL8 is a 3-way module with 145 dB maximum SPL at 58 kg, and the XSL8 reaches 141 dB at 39 kg. Both have 80° horizontal coverage.

For mid-size venues, the d&b Y8 reaches 139 dB at 20 kg, and the T10 at 11 kg works as a line array with 105° coverage or as a point source. d&b's simulation software confirms the choice for each venue.

Why do d&b speakers need d&b amplifiers?

d&b designs its speakers and amplifiers as one system: the amplifiers carry loudspeaker presets for current d&b cabinets, with protection and EQ matched to each model. d&b lists which amplifiers drive each speaker.

In this collection, the 5D (4 × 600 W, 1RU half width) suits small installations, the 40D and D40 (4 × 2,400 W into 4 Ω) suit medium systems, and the D80 (4 × 4,000 W into 4 Ω) suits large arrays.

What is the d&b 44S used for?

The d&b 44S is an ultra-compact 2-way loudspeaker for installations where speakers should be discreet, such as lobbies, restaurants and meeting spaces. It has 2 × 4.5-inch and 2 × 1.25-inch drivers, 90° × 30° rotatable coverage, 123 dB maximum SPL and weighs 3.6 kg.

It is flush mountable, and this collection lists the flush-mount version and installation boxes. It runs on its own or with d&b subwoofers.

What is the d&b 24C column speaker?

The d&b 24C is an installation cardioid column loudspeaker with 6 × 4-inch and 6 × 1.1-inch drivers, covering 90° × 20° up to 126 dB and weighing 9 kg. Its narrow vertical pattern and cardioid design keep sound off reflective surfaces.

It suits speech in reverberant spaces such as halls and places of worship. This collection lists the 24C in black, white and weather-resistant versions, plus the 24C-E extension.

Which d&b stage monitor is in this collection?

The collection includes d&b M-Series stage monitors such as the M4, a 2-way wedge with a 15-inch driver and a 1.3-inch compression driver, 50° × 70° rotatable coverage and 140 dB maximum SPL, weighing 20 kg.

It also lists the M2 and M6 monitors. Like other d&b loudspeakers, the monitors run from d&b amplifiers with matching presets.

What does the d&b DS10 audio network bridge do?

The d&b DS10 links a Dante or AES67 audio network to d&b amplifiers over AES3 digital audio. It has 16 AES3 output channels, 4 AES3 input channels and an integrated 5-port network switch.

It lets a networked console or processor feed a d&b system without analog lines. This collection also lists a DS10 rack upgrade kit and touring racks that include an audio network bridge.

Are d&b speakers available in weather-resistant versions?

Yes. This collection lists weather-resistant versions of several d&b installation models, including the 10S, 10S-D, 24C and 24C-E columns, E8 and the 12S, 18S, 21S and 27S subwoofers.

d&b describes weather-resistant xS-Series installations outdoors. For UAE terraces, pools and outdoor venues, choose the weather-resistant version and protect cable entries.

What is the difference between NL4 and NLT4 versions of d&b speakers?

They differ in connectors: NL4 versions carry NL4 connectors, and NLT4 F/M versions carry NLT4 female and male connectors. d&b lists them as separate article numbers, for example Z0707.001 and Z0707.002 for the Y8.

In this collection, many models appear in both versions, such as the Y8, V12, AL60 and E8, so choose the version that matches the cabling and the other cabinets in the system.

What is the d&b A-Series AL60?

The d&b AL60 is an A-Series loudspeaker with 2 × 10-inch drivers and a 1.4-inch compression driver, covering 60° × 30° from 60 Hz to 18 kHz up to 139 dB, and weighing 23 kg.

This collection lists the AL60 and AL90 in NL4 and NLT4 F/M connector versions. Like other d&b loudspeakers, they run from d&b amplifiers with matching presets.
