10D Amplifier, Z2760 d&b 30D Amplifier, Z2770 manufactured by d&b audiotechnik GmbH. All products of type 10D starting from variant Z2760.000 and 30D starting from variant Z2770.000 are included, provided they correspond to the original technical version and have not been subject to any later design or electromechanical modifications.
A DC resistance measurement using a multimeter may produce different results. 10D/30D amplifiers apply audible low level signals in the Low frequency range for a few seconds using dedicated frequencies for each cabinet type. This reduces the impact of ambient temperature and mechanical aging of the driver components on the impedance values..
