d&b Y8/YSUB/D80 Sound Package

The new Y-Series from d&b audiotechnik provides flexible and configurable solutions for any small to medium sized sound reinforcement requirement, whatever the application style. The Y8 and Y12 loudspeakers are compact, configurable, and easily recognisable as the latest members of the d&b line array family. Utilising the same rigging design as their bigger brothers from the J and V-Series, the Y8 and Y12 also share the same 80° and 120° horizontal dispersion characteristics. The Y8 and Y12 can be suspended in columns of up to 24 loudspeakers with splay angles from 0 to 14 degrees with a 1 degree resolution. The Y-SUB houses a forward facing 18” driver and a 12” driver radiating towards the rear, producing a cardioid dispersion pattern. Driven by a single amplifier channel, the compact Y-SUB can be ground stacked or flown at the top of a Y8 / Y12 array. Both the point source and line source loudspeakers feature two 8” drivers with neodymium magnets mounted in a dipolar arrangement around a 1.4” compression driver. This driver configuration enables the Y8 and Y12 to offer a horizontal dispersion pattern controlled down to 500 Hz. An extensive range of transport solutions and loudspeaker accessories facilitates ease of setup and mobility.
