NEW! The d&b audiotechnik White range:

The d&b White range is designed for visual, physical, acoustical and electrical integration into permanently installed applications. Click the image for more details.

THE d&b E6 LOUDSPEAKER

The much-loved d&b E3 loudspeaker was first introduced 15 years ago and still provides sterling service for venues and rental companies in Ireland and worldwide. While the E3 will continue to be an industry standard small speaker for corporate / front fill / infill / delay applications for many years to come, the new E6 will be a worthy successor. The E6 is a small high performance multipurpose loudspeaker employing an integrated coaxial driver. The horn with its 100° x 55° dispersion pattern can easily be rotated through 90° providing a 55° x 100° pattern without the use of tools. This enables deployment of the loudspeaker either vertically or horizontally. It provides a very compact reinforcement solution that inspires through its sound quality and is also perfectly compatible with the larger E8 and E12 loudspeakers. With the addition of an E12X subwoofer or any other E-Series subwoofer it can also reproduce high level music program. The E6 cabinet has an impact resistant paint finish incorporating a handle. The loudspeaker cabinet is also available in Special Colour (SC) and Weather Resistant (WR) options.

The next cardioid chapter, the d&b audiotechnik B4-SUB
The B4-SUB realizes d&b audiotechnik’s patented design of a unique cardioid technique using only one amplifier channel following on from the introduction of CSA (cardioid subwoofer array) techniques to their products early in 2004. Then the approach used a combination of stacking standard loudspeakers with specific amplifier configurations which proved both effective and consistent and was followed by the introduction of both the J-SUB and J-INFRA cardioid subwoofers using front and rear radiating drivers powered by separate amplifier channels. In 2008 d&b perfected and patented the ‘Loudspeaker system with reduced rear sound radiation’ which in turn led to the development of the B4 subwoofer. Being the first utilization of this patented technique the B4-SUB is really quite unique.

The new d&b audiotechnik M6 Monitor; bigger number, smaller monitor.

While the d&b audiotechnik M4 has found wide acceptance in the world of stage monitoring, there are still frequent requests from the markets for a slightly smaller 12″ monitor. In answer to these requests, the visual design of the M4 monitor has been adapted to reduce the profile and accommodate a similar type of 12″ coaxial driver in the M6. The amplifier configuration also has specific characteristics to give the M6 a performance completely compatible with M4 in both gain and sound character in the frequency band above 180 Hz.

The d&b audiotechnik T-Series. One loudspeaker. Dual functionality.

The T-Series is intentionally designed to address an extremely wide range of small to medium sized applications from multiple cabinet line arrays through to single standalone loudspeakers for deployment in locations sharing the same fundamental requirements, to achieve precise control of directivity and maintain this to the lowest possible frequency. A combination of techniques is used; dipolar low frequency driver arrangements, low compression venting with high excursion drivers and a unique combination of a rotatable waveguide horn and acoustic lens. The unobtrusive visual design, compact dimensions, light weight, high power and exemplary directivity performance not only embodies the d&b System reality but makes the T-Series loudspeakers the perfect option for speech and music.

d&b’s T-Series, one for all with two in one.

Grand Canal Theatre

Dublin’s brand new venue for the performing arts opened it’s doors on Thursday March 18th 2010 with a dazzling production of Swan Lake by the Russian State Ballet.

The venue was first proposed 8 years ago in discussions between Dublin Dockland Development Authority (DDDA) who were seeking an iconic building for Grand Canal Square, and Mike Adamson of Live Nation who longed for a venue suitable for touring theatrical productions. DDDA commissioned world-famous architect Daniel Liebskind to design the venue, and construction began in 2007.

The 2,111 seat theatre mixes the traditional with modern technology. With a sound system design by Arup Acoustics, system integrator LSI Projects contacted MOSCO to supply the specified d&b audiotechnik sound equipment, and LSI’s project manager Jakub Krzeminski and his team installed the system starting in August 2009. The main system consists of d&b Qi1 and QiSUB arrays, with Qi10s for the stalls area, all concealed in the proscenium. 30 d&b E3 loudspeakers are distributed around the auditorium as under-balcony delays and box fills. A further 7 E3s are installed in the lip of the stage as front fills. The system is driven by d&b D12 and D6 amplifiers, and the entire system is easily controlled from FOH on a PC running d&b’s R1 Remote Software.

Kevin McGing of MOSCO was on hand with technical support during the installation, and was also engaged by the Russian State Ballet’s production manager Kim Robinson to mix sound for the opening show. MOSCO’s Neumann KM184’s were used on the RTE Concert Orchestra with superb results, ‘..after the indignities of Dublin’s commercial venues, the acoustics here are impeccable. The RTÉ Concert Orchestra can rarely have sounded so vital. It was tempting, at times, to close eyes and simply listen to Tchaikovsky’s score..’ wrote the Irish Independent.

Wexford Arts Centre

In the course of it’s 35th anniversary, Wexford Arts Centre recently installed a new state-of-the art sound system. This beautiful and intimate facility in Wexford’s historic Cornmarket area is Ireland’s oldest and very first arts centre, and features gallery, studio and main auditorium spaces, as well administration and a buzzing café. Following discussions with technician Ollie Dempsey and theatre director Elizabeth Whyte, Mick O’Gorman of MOSCO designed a system based around d&b audiotechnik and Yamaha products.

FOH sound is provided by two d&b E12 loudspeakers, with E15X SUBs for low end. On stage, d&b MAX12 monitors provide foldback. All loudspeakers are powered by d&b D6 amplifiers, and the entire system is networked using d&b R1 remote software, which allows for monitoring of the system, and provides easy access to the D6’s built-in DSP functions including delay and EQ.

At the mix position, the Yamaha LS9-32 is ideal, packing 32 inputs with powerful audio mixing into a compact frame size. Safety announcements are played directly from the console, using the Yamaha’s USB facility. MOSCO’s Kevin McGing was on hand to assist with the installation and also to provide on-site training in both LS-9 and R1 operations. The system was fully commissioned in plenty of time for the Arts Centre’s busy Autumn - Winter programme.

Gleeson Hall - DIT Kevin St.

We recently supplied sound equipment to the newly refurbished Gleeson Hall at Dublin Institute of Technology’s Kevin St. campus. Used for a variety of purposes, but primarily by DIT’s Conservatory of Music and Drama, the hall underwent major refurbishment in late 2008, and needed a sound system worthy of the fabulous new facility. DIT’s Ben Rawlins contacted MOSCO, and a system based around d&b’s new E-Series was specified. Being a wide but relatively shallow space, E12-D loudspeakers were installed for their 110 degree horizontal dispersion. E8 loudspeakers serve as stage monitors, but can easily be used for additional FOH reinforcement. d&b D6 amplifiers are installed to power everything. In addition, MOSCO supplied a Midas Venice 240 mixing console, as well as outboard equipment including Midas SQ1 Dynamics and EQ, and a Yamaha SPX2000 digital multi - FX unit.

The Purty Loft, Dun Laoghaire

Dublin pro - audio company Archetype Audio recently installed a new sound system at legendary Dublin venue The Purty Loft. Archetype’s Jonathan Ford specified a d&b audiotechnik Qi Series system with a Yamaha LS9-16 digital console, all supplied by MOSCO.

Given the low ceiling height in the room, Qi7s flown in horizontal orientation were ideal, and low end is supplied by four Qi-SUBs. The system is powered by d&b D6 amplifiers. Jonathan had extensive experience with d&b Q-Series, so the install version (Qi Series) was his logical choice for this project. In addition, the Yamaha LS9 was the perfect console, as it packs a lot of features into a very compact frame. The Purty features an eclectic mix of rock, jazz, Irish traditional and folk music, and is a key location during Dun Laoghaire’s annual Festival Of World Cultures, so the compact, high-output system from d&b will be a welcome addition to the venue. And visiting the Archetype Audio staff on-site during the install was a misty-eyed Kevin McGing from MOSCO Sales, who began his audio career as house engineer in the very same building all of 17 years previously!
