d&b At InfoComm 2023

The d&b audiotechnik demo room (W230D) will feature a Soundscape experience and will also host a Milan networking seminar using the d&b DS100 network driven and Dante-enabled DSP platform for Soundscape. With the requirement for engaging live experiences and distraction-free environments increasing, d&b Soundscape enables further connection between the stage and listeners, simplifying the workflow to deliver a more transformative experience. At the heart of the system is the Dante-enabled DS-100 Signal Engine, En-Scene and En-Space software modules, all in conjunction with planning and control software, ArrayCalc and R1 Remote.

New to InfoComm 2023 is the patent pending HeadroomCalc, the latest update to ArrayCalc simulation software providing superior and more comprehensive predictability of system performance. It represents significant progress in predicting accurate system performance that will impact the planning and execution of future audio projects. It enables the customer to choose the right system and/or system amplifier, both of which influence the budget needed for a project. It assists in complying with health and safety regulations at live events that specify the limits regarding onsite sound exposure levels. Pre-recorded alarm messages can be reproduced with a certain SPL to satisfy all venue and legal requirements.

At booth #5561, d&b will feature include SL-Series, A-Series, custom solutions, and an assortment of scalable systems. Representing SL-Series, the XSL system’s extra small dimensions bring the SL-Series feature set — with broadband directivity control, extended low frequency performance, and power efficiency — to a huge range of installations and events. The XSL is acoustically matched with its bigger siblings, GSL and KSL, and fits seamlessly into the d&b Workflow. The KSL-SUB will also be featured at the booth.

Also, at the d&b booth is the D40 amplifier, a mobile version of the company’s 40D amplifier for installed applications designed to drive high-voltage d&b loudspeakers while providing management and protection capabilities. The D40 amplifier is a four-channel class D power amplifier, designed for maximum efficiency when paired with d&b loudspeaker systems.

Realising all the adaptability of a point source cluster with the extensive control options of a d&b line array, the A-Series system comprises the AL60 and AL90 loudspeakers, with ALi60 and ALi90 cabinets designed specifically for permanent installation. Variable splay angles allow arrays of up to four A-Series loudspeakers to adapt precisely to venue shapes in fine increments. Broad distribution is achieved either horizontally or vertically deployed with a minimal number of loudspeakers.

The d&b 5D installation amplifier will also be on display at the booth. A a four-channel DSP amplifier featuring integrated Dante networking, with flexible power sharing and low cost per channel, all within an ultra-compact 1RU half-rack design. The 5D addresses a broad range of installation projects, ensuring that more people around the world can experience the dynamic performance and unrivalled power of d&b technology solutions. 

On Thursday June 15th at 11am, d&b will host a seminar on Milan, then open standards-based audio networking solution. Milan is a deterministic network that inherits all the technical benefits of Audio Video Bridging (AVB) technology: improved reliability, optimum synchronisation and hassle-free network set up.
