Neutral sound characteristics leave the user all the is achieved consistently by every system anywhere, at any time. loudspeaker. Nor is it merely a sum of the components: Every element is tightly specified, precisely aligned and carefully freedom needed to realise whatever the brief. At the same time In reality: the d&b System reality. loudspeakers, amplifiers, accessories and software. Right from integrated to achieve maximum efficiency. For ease of use, all the d&b offers integrated finance, service and support, a the outset the d&b audiotechnik approach was to build user-definable parameters are integrated, allowing the possibility knowledgeable distribution network, education and training as integrated sound reinforcement systems that actually are more of adjustment, either via remote control surfaces or directly on the well as technical information, so the same optimal acoustic result 4 d&b Stage monitors d&b Stage monitors 5 d&b Stage monitors can seriously enhance the performance quality of sound between front of house and the stage. remarkable vocal presence and clarity and more than adequate and a neutral platform for the engineer and artist alike. of the artist and the success of a production. That’s why d&b has Consequently the d&b Stage monitors have not only a low profile power. With the well defined dispersion control the systems always maintained that there should be no difference in the cabinet design for use in visually senstitive situations, but also guarantee a high feedback stability realizing an efficient tool 6 d&b Stage monitors d&b Stage monitors 7 The Stage monitors MAX12 and MAX are 2-way loudspeakers with a coaxially d&b remote software creates a flexible workspace for the d&b mounted 12" or 15“ LF driver respectively and a 2" exit HF user. The R1 Remote control software provides all features, compression driver. The high frequency horn throat is coupled to functions and controls available on the front of d&b amplifiers, the low frequency diaphragm creating a 80° and 60° radial which can be remotely controlled and monitored. Service mid/high horn respectively. MAX12 and MAX are loudspeakers functions enable firmware updates of the amplifiers as and when with remarkable vocal presence and clarity, a neutral, balanced these are available, whilst monitoring tools such as System check sound, high feedback stability and sound pressure level verifies that the system performs within a predefined condition. R1 capability. The MAX12/MAX loudspeakers are passively crossed MAX12 monitor MAX monitor Remote control software incorporates the equalizer of each d&b over, are able to be driven by any appropriate linear power amplifier channel within the software, to make adjustments at any amplifier and may optionally be used in a d&b specific 2-Way position. Active mode setup to increase headroom particularly in the high frequency range. They can be configured with d&b subwoofers as a drumfill or with a high stand adapter for small PA applications. The M6 and M4 are low profile 2-way high performance stage monitors employing an integrated 12”/1.3” and 15“/1.3“ exit coaxial driver respectively, with a CD horn and passive crossover network. The M6 and M4 distinguish themselves through a remarkable midrange presence, the M4 additionally through a dry and deep low end. Combined with excellent feedback stability, high sensitivity and discreet designs they line up perfectly with the d&b M2 state of the art monitor. M6 monitor M4 monitor The d&b D6 and D12 dual channel as well as the D80 four channel amplifiers realize the complete system and incorporate The M2 is the d&b definitive actively crossed over reference d&b loudspeaker specific configuration information. They provide stage monitor system. The bass-reflex enclosure is optimized for three different power ranges and have analog and digital signal minimal air compression and houses two 12" LF drivers. The 1.4" inputs and links. These devices are specially designed and exit HF compression driver operates into a very low distortion manufactured by d&b utilizing Digital Signal Processing and D6 amplifier horn with a waveguide oriented design. This remarkable cabinet include switchable functions for precisely tailoring system achieves a constant directivity of 45° x 60° (h x v) above the response for a wide variety of applications. Delay capabilities unusually low frequency of 600 Hz, resulting in substantial and equalization on each channel of every amplifier reduce the feedback stability and a very direct voice reproduction. Finally, need for external processing devices, with user definable 4-band its peak sound pressure level of 143 dB at 1m will satisfy even M2 monitor parametric EQ for the D6 and D12 compared to the two the unhealthiest of SPL requests. 16-band equalizers incorporated into the D80.
