d&b Audiotechnik constantly endeavors to elevate the quality of sound systems to accurately transfer passions and seeks to unite a generation of audio enthusiasts who believe that sound is something shared, wanted, experienced. d&b believes that loudspeakers and electronics should be built systematically in order to work in complete unity. Because of this, d&b loudspeakers can only be driven by d&b amplifiers, creating a system of efficiency, consistency, and ease of use. The philosophy that lead to the integration of amplifier and loudspeaker continues to permeate throughout the company operations.
It all began in the early 1980s in Korb, a small village not far from Stuttgart, Germany. The diligent duo of Jürgen Daubert and Rolf Belz started the respected audio pioneering outfit from their garage, upgrading to an old spinning mill in the nearby town of Backnang, now home to more than 500 dedicated employees. d&b’s operations have grown globally to include education, training, service, application assistance, sales, distribution, and custom solutions. Today, d&b is a renowned worldwide market leader and defines the global standard for support of professional sound reinforcement systems.
The highly respected amplifiers that are the beating heart of all d&b systems are designed specifically to power d&b loudspeakers. Sophisticated Digital Signal Processing capabilities for comprehensive loudspeaker management are incorporated into every d&b amplifier along with switchable filter functions, remote capabilities, and user-definable controls. The D6 is a dual channel amplifier that boasts a 4-band parametric equalizer along with 340 ms of signal delay per channel. d&b Audiotechnik’s D20 and D80 bring 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. In addition to sharing these features, the 10D and 30D have been designed for installation systems, perfectly positioned to fulfill the needs of any permanent sound reinforcement requirement.
