d&b audiotechnik sound systems for venues and installations
d&b audiotechnik makes professional loudspeaker systems, amplifiers and system software for live sound and installations. This collection lists 355 d&b products: SL-Series, V, Y and T-Series line arrays, A-Series AL loudspeakers, xS and xC-Series installation speakers, E-Series compact speakers, M-Series stage monitors, subwoofers, D-Series and installation amplifiers, the DS10 network bridge, and the flying frames, cables and cases that complete a system. CorporateAV.ae is a supplier of genuine d&b audiotechnik products in the UAE.
d&b designs its loudspeakers and amplifiers as one system: each amplifier carries presets for current d&b cabinets. Compare the speakers in Loudspeakers and the amplifiers in Power Amplifiers.
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.
