The d&b System realityAs the name implies a d&b system is not just a loudspeaker.Nor is it merely a sum of the components: loudspeakers, controlelectronics, mechanical accessories and remote control. Rightfrom the outset the d&b audiotechnik approach was to buildintegrated sound reinforcement systems that were more than thesum of their parts. Each element is tightly specified, preciselyaligned and carefully integrated to achieve maximum possibleperformance, along with neutral sound characteristics. At the sametime d&b offers integrated training, technical information, expertservice and support, as well as a knowledgeable distributionnetwork, so that the same optimal acoustic result is achieved byevery system anywhere, at any time.d&b C-Series 3

The C-SeriesThe C-Series loudspeaker range has been optimized for flexible,modular array configurations and high sound pressure levels.Applications range from professional touring use and permanentinstallations down to single cabinet setups requiring narrowdispersion with minimum dimensions. The "d&b specific"combination of a neutral, intelligible sound character that is clearand transparent even at high sound pressure levels provides theengineer with an efficient, effortless tool and a neutral platform.This is achieved through d&b’s unique design approach basedon a holistic view of the interaction between loudspeakers,electronics and mechanical accessories. Technically autonomoussystems can be combined and split in a wide variety ofcombinations. Light weight and compact sizes that take intoaccount standard truck widths result in time, space and costbenefits when transporting and installing systems. This is d&b’ssystem approach: all loudspeakers, electronics, mechanics,design tools, documentation and training, support and serviceare designed and matched for the ease of the sound designer,the system and balance engineer, the warehouse manager, theinstaller and last but not least the system owner.The C and Ci loudspeakers are designed for mobile andinstalled applications respectively, the Ci versions differing only incabinet construction and mounting hardware. The C loudspeakersare designed for a wide range of medium to large scaleapplications with a clear perspective to provide mobile, flexible,configurable array solutions to the most arduous soundreinforcement situations. The d&b TransCalc calculator predictsthe performance of arrays, enabling simple and accurate systemplanning. The Ci loudspeakers are intended for permanentlyinstalled performance spaces where the specification is riderdriven by the artist or mix engineer’s preferences. Both theCi cabinets and mounting hardware can be properly colourmatched to interior designs, are mechanically adapted forinstallation use and can provide protection in climatically hostileenvironments.C7 and Ci7-TOP are coaxial, full range loudspeakers with a75° x 40° constant directivity dispersion down to 600 Hz. Theirhorn loaded 15" low frequency driver, 1.5” exit HF driver andextended bass response allow use without a subwoofer whereverfull range sound and controlled dispersion from a compactcabinet is required.C7 and Ci7-SUB are bass-reflex subwoofers with a large portand a long excursion 18” driver. They have the same footprintas the C7 and Ci7-TOPs but are taller, allowing a frequencyextension down to 44 Hz. The C loudspeakers are ideal in aground stack of two C7-SUBs and a C7-TOP.The Ci-SUB is a bass-reflex design with an 18” driver and it isthe dedicated subwoofer for the Ci7-TOP loudspeaker for flownarray situations.The C4 system is primarily for use in medium to large-scalesound reinforcement applications and allows the construction ofscalable arrays with precise horizontal and vertical coverage.The C3, C4-TOP and C4-SUB have an identical cabinet shape,size and rigging, and along with the B2 subwoofer, form the basisof an arrayable, modular system. The 35° horizontal dispersionbehaviour of C3 and C4-TOP loudspeakers enable flawlesscoupling when array segments are combined.The C3 is a hornloaded line array module that can be arrayedboth horizontally and vertically adding a long throw capability.The unique wave front adapter couples a total of three 1.3” exitdrivers, which deliver a superbly controlled curved coherentwave front up to 16 kHz with vertical splay angles of 1° to 5°between the cabinets.The unequalled coaxial horn-in-horn design of the C4-TOPloudspeaker features an exceptionally constant and narrow35° x 35° dispersion down to 700 Hz.The C4-SUB is the flown subwoofer for the C4 system extendingthe frequency response down to 50 Hz.When deeper low frequency reproduction is required, the B2-SUBin infrabass mode can be added. As the low end of the frequencyrange is produced much more efficiently in a ground coupledconfiguration the B2 cabinet has no flying fittings.The d&b D6 and D12 dual channel amplifiers realize the completesystem. They provide two different power ranges, incorporated&b loudspeaker specific configuration information, including theC-Series loudspeakers, the exceptions being the C3 and B2-SUBthat can only be driven by the more powerful D12. Both amplifiershave analog and digital signal inputs and links. These devicesare specially designed and manufactured by d&b utilizing DigitalSignal Processing and include switchable functions for preciselytailoring system response for a wide variety of applications. Auser definable 4-band parametric equalizer and a delay capabilityis provided in every amplifier channel to reduce the need forexternal processing devices. The D12 amplifier additionally offersa 2-Way Active mode and a MIX TOP/SUB output configuration,output connector options as well as d&b SenseDrive.The D6 and D12 amplifiers have d&b Remote networkinterfaces enabling control and monitoring of a large number ofsystem functions and extensive system integration capabilities.d&b Load monitoring and System check are also incorporatedto remotely monitor loudspeaker driver status.To complete the picture, the C-Series maintains the d&b maximof compatibility between systems enabling them to be easilycombined with all other d&b products. Together these componentscreate complete, integrated, flexible reinforcement solutions in thesimplest to the most complex situations.4 d&b C-Series

VOLTAGE SEE LABEL~ 50/60 Hz, 1000 WThe D6 and D12 amplifiersThe D6 and D12 are dual channel amplifiers developed andmanufactured by d&b utilizing Digital Signal Processing (DSP) toincorporate loudspeaker specific configuration information andfunctions. These are designed for use with d&b loudspeakers,have both digital and analog signal inputs as well as link outputs,remote control and monitoring capabilities and switch mode powersupplies. The level control incorporates a digital rotary encoderenabling selection of all operating modes in conjunction with aLiquid Crystal Display (LCD).Loudspeaker specific configurations for current d&b loudspeakersand a linear mode are contained within them, the exceptionbeing that the D6 does not include 2-Way Active, V-Series andB2-SUB configurations.The digital elements of the D6 and D12 are specified andconstructed to achieve the best possible audio performance whilemaintaining a very low latency of 0.3 msec. The Digital SignalProcessing is used to provide the loudspeaker specific configurations,sophisticated protection circuits modelling thermal and mechanicaldriver behaviour, and switch functions.User definable equalization and delay functions are incorporatedin each channel of the amplifiers and can be used for applicationssuch as front fills or under balcony delays without the need forexternal processors. The signal delay capability allows delaysettings of up to 340 msec. (= 100 m/328 ft) to be appliedindependently to each channel as can the 4-band parametricequalizer, providing optional Boost/Cut or Notch filtering. Asignal generator offering pink noise or sine wave program is alsoincorporated for test and alignment purposes. Every unit can begiven a unique Device Name to simplify identification and apassword protected LOCK function is also incorporated to preventunauthorized changes.The D6 and D12 amplifiers also detect incoming Pilot signals atits input (Input monitoring) and can use Load monitoring andSystem check functions to determine the status of the loudspeakerimpedance. d&b System check is designed to verify that thesystem performs within a predefined condition and can be usedto report the system condition after a show.d&b Load monitoring, on the other hand, enables automatic andcontinuous impedance monitoring and along with Input monitoringis designed for incorporation within applications specified to therequirements stated in the International Standard IEC 60849‘Sound Systems for Emergency Purposes’. Both can determine thestatus of an LF or HF driver in systems with multiple elements,even if these are crossed over passively.The D6 utilizes a switch mode power supply with PFC suitable formains supply voltages 100 V/115 V/200 V/230 V, 50 - 60 Hzwhilst the D12 utilizes an autosensing switch mode power supplyfor mains voltages 115/230 V, 50 - 60 Hz (optional 100/200 V).Both power supplies have overvoltage protection and eachamplifier has a temperature and signal controlled fan to cool theinternal assemblies.The 2 RU lightweight D6 is specifically designed to deliver mediumpower into low impedance loads between 4 and 16 ohms. The3 RU D12 is specifically designed to produce high power intolow impedance loads, typically those between 4 and 16 ohms.Due to differences in impedance response against frequency, themaximum number of cabinets driven by each D12 channel variesdepending on the loudspeaker type.Apart from selectable output configurations for dual channel, MixTOP/SUB and 2-Way Active mode, the D12 also provides d&bSenseDrive for use with the LF drivers in d&b active loudspeakersand subwoofers.Both amplifiers house an I/O panel containing: analog signalinputs with link outputs for each channel, an AES/EBU digitalinput with a link output and NL4 loudspeaker outputs. The D12I/O panel additionally offers the options of EP5 or NL8loudspeaker outputs. The two RJ 45 REMOTE sockets at the rearof the D6 and the D12 amplifiers integrate them into the d&bRemote network via CAN-Bus, enabling remote control and/ormonitoring.A USB-B (D6) or a SUB-D9 (D12) SERVICE interface is providedto enable future firmware updates containing new loudspeakerconfigurations or additional functions to be loaded to the units.D6MAINS SUPPLYCH ADIGITAL AES/EBU ANALOGOUTAOUTBREMOTESERVICECH BD6 rear viewD12 rear view18 d&b C-Series

The operation with D6 and D12 amplifiersCUT modeSet to CUT, the cabinet low frequency level is reduced and isconfigured for use with d&b active subwoofers.HFA modeIn HFA mode (High Frequency Attenuation), the HF response ofthe system is rolled off. The HFA provides a natural, balancedfrequency response when a unit is placed close to listeners innear field or delay use. HFA begins gradually at 1 kHz, droppingby approximately 3 dB at 10 kHz. This roll off mimics the declinein frequency response experienced when listening to a systemfrom a distance in a typically reverberant room or auditorium.CPL functionThe CPL (Coupling) function compensates for coupling effectsbetween closely coupled cabinets by reducing the low and midfrequency level. CPL begins gradually at 1 kHz, with maximumattenuation below 250 Hz (400 Hz for the C3), providing abalanced frequency response when cabinets are used in arraysof two or more. The CPL function can be set in dB attenuationvalues between –9 and 0, or in the case of the C7 and Ci7-TOPan optional boost between 0 and +5 around 65 Hz can be set.100 Hz modeIf the 100 Hz mode is selected, the upper operating frequencyof the system is reduced to 100 Hz. This setting allows thesubwoofer to supplement top cabinets in full range mode.HFC modeSelecting the HFC (High Frequency Compensation) modecompensates for loss of high frequency energy due to absorptionin air when loudspeakers are used to cover far field listeningpositions. HFC should be used selectively, only for those cabinetscovering distances of approximately 30 m (100 ft) for theC4-TOP and 50 m (160 ft) for the C3. This enables the correctsound balance between close and remote audience areas, whilstall amplifiers driving the array can be fed with the same signal.LFC modeIn LFC mode (Low Frequency Compensation), the low frequencyresponse is extended down to 80 Hz for speech reinforcementwithout subwoofers.INFRA modeSelecting the INFRA mode restricts the B2 frequency response toa narrow, 32 Hz - 68 Hz range (–5 dB). This transforms a B2into an infrabass system for use with C or Q-Series loudspeakers.CSA modeCSA (Cardioid Subwoofer Array) mode enables the combinationof three or multiples of three subwoofer cabinets into an arraythat produces exceptional low frequency directivity control. Thecentre cabinet in a column is physically pointed to the rear andthe CSA mode selected on the D6 or D12 channel that powersthis cabinet. The forward facing cabinets are driven with a D6or D12 channel set in the standard mode. The resulting cardioidbehaviour of the array will significantly reduce the energyradiated to the rear. For further information please refer to thed&b TI 330 Cardioid Subwoofer Array, which is available fordownload at www.dbaudio.com.d&b SenseDriveThe D12 incorporates d&b SenseDrive for accurate control ofLF drivers in d&b loudspeakers driven 2-Way Active or in d&bsubwoofers driven actively, resulting in an extremely precise bassperformance, even at high levels. SenseDrive is only availableusing a D12 fitted with EP5 connectors and appropriate 5-wirecabling. For further information please refer to the d&b TI 340SenseDrive, which is available for download at www.dbaudio.com.+B2 modeThe +B2 mode increases the headroom of the C4-SUBs whenused with additional B2 subwoofers set to INFRA mode. Thisintroduces a relatively narrow-band signal attenuation around50 Hz raising the lower frequency limit of the C4-SUB to around60 Hz. The C4-SUB’s headroom is increased, while the combinedsystem response will not change significantly.d&b C-Series 21

The C4 system with C3 loudspeakersVertical array of C4 and C3 cabinetsAs their horizontal dispersion behaviour is identical, C4-TOP andC3 cabinets can be easily combined in one array.The larger vertical dispersion of a C4-TOP can be used efficientlyto cover the near field in front of a C3 column. A vertical splayof 5° or 10° to the lowest C3 is useful, depending on the totalheight of the system.Horizontal array of C4 and C3 cabinetsThe horizontal angle between adjacent C4 and/or C3 cabinetsin an array can be set to between 20° and 30°.The most even and widest energy distribution is achieved with30°. Smaller angles between the cabinets will give a smallerhorizontal coverage area but will produce higher sound pressureon the centre axis of the array. The configuration of any arrayshould be thoroughly adapted to the actual venue room acousticsand requirements. In order to keep diffuse sound low, the totalcoverage angle should only be as wide as necessary to coverthe audience area.Operation with C4-SUB and B2-SUBC4-SUBs should be used to extend the C4-TOP and C3 frequencyresponse. Forming columns of SUB cabinets improves efficiencyand vertical directivity at low frequencies. For a balanced soundat high levels a ratio of at least one C4-SUB per C3 or C4-TOPcabinet is required. For a further extension of bandwidth andheadroom ground stacked B2 subwoofers are used (INFRAmode).0°-30° 0° 0° +30°C4-SUBC4-SUBFarfieldC3C4-SUBExample setupThe example opposite shows a C4/C3 setup arranged to providethe coverage and level distribution for a simple rectangularaudience area.

The D6 and D12 amplifiers installationThe diagram opposite shows the thermal operating range withinwhich the technical data will be maintained. The operationbeyond this range is possible for a short time but for thermalreasons this may trigger the amplifier protection circuit forthermal overload.The D6 and D12 amplifier enclosures are designed to fit astandard 19" equipment rack or cabinet.When specifying a rack, be sure to allow extra depth (10 cm /4"is usually sufficient) to accommodate the cables and connectorsat the rear of the amplifier(s). When mounting amplifiers into a19" rack cabinet, provide additional support using shelves fixedto the inner sides of the cabinet or the mounting holes providedon the amplifier rear mounted rack ears; do not just rely on fixingand supporting amplifiers by their front panels.Since the amplifiers can generate a lot of heat, please ensure,whatever the mounting or racking arrangement, that adequatecool airflow is provided to avoid a build-up of hot air inside therack leading to overheating. When setting up the amplifier, donot block or cover the rear panel air intake or the vents on thefront panel of the amplifier.If amplifiers are installed in cabinets so that direct access to therear panel filters is not possible, we recommend using additionalfan modules with front mounted filters that can be easily replacedwithout opening the sealed cabinets.Max. average output Power [W]900800 D12700600500400 D630020010000 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45Ambient Temp. in CTotal average output power vs. ambient temperature24 d&b C-Series

The D6 and D12 amplifierspower consumption and power lossD6 and D12 power consumption and power lossThe power required from the mains supply and the waste heatproduced by the amplifier power loss vary depending on the loadimpedance and the signal levels and characteristics (e.g. speech,music). In practice, the theoretical peak power consumption of asystem will only be sustained for a short period of time. Basingmains current and air conditioning plant requirements on thepeak power consumption of the sound system would result in agenerously overspecified installation. The key factor in powerconsumption calculations is the crest factor of the music or speechsignal – the ratio of peak to sustainable RMS voltage of thesignal.The table opposite gives power figures for various types of signalwaveforms.Mains supplyMaximum number of devices per phase conductor when full outputpower is required.Mains supplyMax. number of devicesD6D12230 V/16 A 4 2115 /100 V/15 A 2 1In the USA and Japan we recommend the operation over twophase conductors (phase to phase – 240 /200 V) or the use ofmains leads with a much higher cross section.26 d&b C-Series
