Five-year cooperation agreed

d&b audiotechnik is boosting its cooperation with Neumann&Müller (N&M) Event Technology with a five-year agreement. N&M bring to life high quality events with state-of-the-art equipment. The agreement between the companies involves the supply of loudspeakers from d&b’s newest range the Y-Series.

“We are proud of this further expansion of our long-standing business relationship with N&M. The new Y-Series complements the d&b equipment already used by the company”, says Jürgen Wilhelm, DACH Regional Sales Manager at d&b audiotechnik.

Over the next five years d&b will supply loudspeakers to N&M including the Y-Series line array modules and the corresponding cardioid subwoofer Y-SUB (suitable for flown arrays). The scope of supply also includes d&b’s newest amplifier the D80.

“The refinement of the sound properties in the case of the Y-Series point sources, as well as the line array modules, signifies a new milestone for us particularly for sound systems under difficult acoustic conditions”, states Michael Mandel, Technical Manager at N&M. “Other benefits include the passive cardioid function of the subwoofers and the reduced transport volumes of the systems.

“All of my colleagues, whether working in the stockroom or logistics, as a structural planner or as a technician on site, will be pleased about the reduced weight,” noted Mandel, adding, “The small form factor in this performance category and the elegant design are obvious assets - for our clients as well as guests at an event.”

Since the beginning of their 30 years relationship, the two companies have cooperated closely on the development of new technologies and products, which have benefited both.

About the Y-Series: The loudspeakers of the new Y-Series are designed with a clear perspective to provide flexible and configurable solutions for small and medium scale sound reinforcement situations. On the one hand, Y7P and Y10P are point source systems; the powerful B6 is the appropriate subwoofer. On the other hand, Y8, Y12 and the Y-SUB, also suitable for flown arrays, are the corresponding line array modules. These systems tie in with their bigger brothers, the V-Series, and are equipped with the established three point rigging system.
