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.
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.

The Q, Qi and QiCSA subwoofers Q, Qi and QiCSA subwoofers Q, Qi and QiCSA-SUB are the dedicated subwoofers for the Q and Qi loudspeakers respectively and can be used to supplement the top cabinets in various combinations, either flown or ground stacked.
The Q1 rigging system Safety approval d&b loudspeakers and accessories are designed for set up and use within situations requiring compliance with the provisions and directives of BGV C1 Rule for the Prevention of Accidents. Z5153 Z5154 Q Rigging set: Z5151 Z5152 Q Splay link...
The Q1 rigging examples With a 15° vertical HF dispersion per cabinet, the Q1 can be used to construct vertical columns that produce a curved coherent wave front. The mechanical and acoustical design of the cabinet enables vertical splay angles to be set between 0° and 14°. Q1 cabinets can therefore be used in vertical configurations starting from two cabinets with a 15°...

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.

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.
The D6 and D12 amplifiers The D6 and D12 are dual channel amplifiers developed and d&b Load monitoring, on the other hand, enables automatic and manufactured by d&b utilizing Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to continuous impedance monitoring and along with Input monitoring incorporate loudspeaker specific configuration information and is designed for incorporation within applications specified to the functions.

The Q-Series configuration examples A small Q-Series line array configuration as shown on the opposite page could consist of two D12 amplifiers, three Q1/Qi1 loudspeakers, one Q7/Qi7 loudspeaker and four Q-SUBs/Qi-SUBs. Three Q1s/Qi1s are driven by one D12 channel Qi10 and one Q7/Qi7 from the other, this total load is acceptable for one D12.

The Qi loudspeakers Weather Resistant and Special Colour options The Weather Resistant and Special Colour options are only available to order with the Qi version cabinets. Weather Resistant (WR) option The WR option enables operation of loudspeakers in changing ambient conditions, however it is not intended to enable permanent, unprotected operation of loudspeakers outdoors.
The D6 and D12 amplifiers installation The diagram opposite shows the thermal operating range within which the technical data will be maintained. The operation beyond this range is possible for a short time but for thermal reasons this may trigger the amplifier protection circuit for thermal overload.
