d&b audiotechnik: "d&b Family Finds a Familiar Comfort"
At this year's Prolight + Sound, a major industry event, d&b audiotechnik is set to make a significant impact with the launch of two groundbreaking audio technology innovations. Among them is the d&b Soundscape, an immersive sound system processor that delivers object-based immersive audio mixing and spatial sound reinforcement.
The d&b Soundscape stands out due to its ability to precisely place sound objects in 3D space, creating a multidimensional immersive sound experience for audiences. Key innovative features include object-based mixing technology, scalable I/O sizes, integration with free, dedicated control software, and support for large speaker arrays.
The object-based mixing technology allows engineers to position, move, and control individual sound objects in 3D space, enhancing creativity and realism in live sound reproduction. The DS100 processor offers various input/output configurations, making the system adaptable to different venue sizes and complexities. The integration with free, dedicated control software (Create.Control) facilitates offline preproduction, intuitive UI for sound design, seamless integration with existing d&b workflows, and collaboration among engineers without affecting system settings.
The system can manage setups with dozens of loudspeakers, such as 64 loudspeakers, to deliver immersive live sound reinforcement. This immersive approach goes beyond traditional stereo or surround sound by focusing on the spatial placement and movement of individual sound objects, a strong innovation in live audio technology.
In addition to the d&b Soundscape, the d&b SL-Series GSL System, the apex of the d&b range, will also be officially introduced at Prolight + Sound 2018. The GSL-System offers unprecedented low frequency extension, significant headroom, and a cardioid dispersion pattern performance.
d&b has announced a number of integration partners for the DS100 Signal Engine, including QLab, TTA Stagetracker II, and various DAW systems. The d&b family feels at home at Prolight + Sound, with all global Partners, distributors, users, and friends invited to witness these innovative releases.
Prolight + Sound 2018 is expected to mark the finale of a multi-year development phase for the SL-Series and Soundscape, kicking off a new journey for these innovations. Serge Graef, FoH engineer of Kraftwerk, will guide audiences through the process of developing a creative concept for the mix on a Soundscape system at the event.
With the launch of these two innovations, 2018 is shaping up to be a stellar year for d&b audiotechnik, attracting all strands of the industry to Prolight + Sound. The complete d&b product range, including all loudspeaker series and workflow stations, will be available at the d&b stand. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience the future of live sound technology!
