  • Page 3: The D&B System Reality

    The d&b System reality As the name implies a d&b system is not just a loudspeaker. aligned and carefully integrated to achieve maximum possible Nor is it merely a sum of the components: loudspeakers, control performance, along with neutral sound characteristics. At the same electronics, mechanical accessories and remote control.
  • Page 4: The Q-Series

    The Q-Series The Q-Series embodies the d&b holistic approach to sound fitted with a toroidal wave shaping device, which have a 75° (h) reinforcement solutions: integrating loudspeakers, electronics, and 75° x 15° (h x v) dispersion pattern respectively, the resulting mechanical deployment assemblies, remote control functions and curved coherent wave front allows vertical arrays of multiple setup design tools for precise calculation of array performance.

  • Page 18: The D&B Arraycalc Calculator

    The d&b ArrayCalc calculator For both acoustic and safety reasons d&b line arrays must be designed using the d&b ArrayCalc simulation tool. It is available as a native stand-alone application for both Microsoft Windows (XP or higher) and Mac OS X (10.4.10 or higher) operating systems.
  • Page 19 The d&b ArrayCalc calculator at a freely definable reference point on one of the audience areas. For alignment of the flown system with the ground stacked bass array, the phase response of both the bass array and a selectable flown array is calculated at a definable reference point. Both simulations reflect changes in delay time to the single arrays in real time, greatly obviating the need for time consuming acoustic measurements to that end.
