This year’s Prolight + Sound show witnessed the introduction of the B8, an ultra-compact subwoofer from d&b audiotechnik. Standing only 170 mm tall, the B8-SUB keeps a remarkably low profile yet boasts an exceptionally high performance to size ratio that provides a low frequency extension down to 43 Hz.
The B8 pairs with the established d&b xC, xS and E-Series loudspeakers, with dedicated models for mobile (B8-SUB) and install (Bi8-SUB). Fitting comfortably in the tightest of spaces, the B8 is ideal for corporate environments, cruise ships, small venues, educational spaces, houses of worship and more.
The B8 is an actively-driven subwoofer that features two 6.5” drivers with ferrite magnets housed within a bass-reflex cabinet design. These precisely-tuned drivers achieve an impressive low frequency extension from 170 Hz down to 43 Hz. The B8 can be driven by all current d&b amplifiers, achieving a maximum SPL of 122 dB for a truly full range performance from a low-profile subwoofer.
With flexible setup options, the B8 and Bi8 subwoofers provide a complete sound reinforcement solution for a broad range of applications where form factor and performance-to-size ratio are as important as authentic aural impact. The B8 can be used under stages, stairs or ceilings; in landscape or portrait orientation; flush-mounted or flown with small mid/high d&b loudspeakers.
