Following the launch of the T-Series loudspeaker range earlier this year, d&b audiotechnik now offers the new Ti-Series — loudspeaker systems and hardware fittings for fixed installation use. The T-Series includes the Ti10L line array loudspeaker, Ti10P for point source usage and the Ti subwoofer. The rigging hardware has been designed to be unobtrusive, whether ground supported or flown, and d&b offers an option to color-coordinate both the system and rigging.
Like the T-Series, the Ti-Series ranks as d&b’s smallest line array or stand- alone point source system and can address a wide range of small to medium sized installation applications.
The Ti10 cabinet has the same dimensions for both loudspeaker versions
(18.5 x 7.8 x 11.8 mm/inches) and is a passive 2-way design that houses two 6.5-inch drivers and a 1.4-inch exit HF compression driver. At the core of the design is a rotatable horn and an acoustic lens within the loudspeaker grill assembly.
The HF driver is fitted to a waveguide horn producing vertical line source directivity with a 90° horizontal pattern and the acoustic lens widens this to 105° for line array applications. Rotation of the horn by 90° relative to the lens produces a Ti10 point source dispersion transforming a vertically oriented Ti10 into a stand-alone full range loudspeaker with 90° horizontal and 35° vertical directivity pattern.
The Ti10L loudspeaker is deployed in multiples as elements of line array, incorporates appropriate rigging and maintains horizontal constant directivity down to approximately 600 Hz. The Ti10P loudspeaker is used as a point source stand-alone cabinet without the line array hardware and the vertical directivity control extends approximately one octave lower than similarly sized biaxial loudspeakers.
The Ti-SUB shares the same width and integrated rigging hardware as the
Ti10L for deployment either flown at the top of a Ti10L array or as a separate column. It can also be ground-stacked for use with either of the
Ti10 loudspeaker versions. It is used to increase the low frequency headroom and extend the bandwidth of a Ti10 column down to 47 Hz. The bass-reflex design utilizes a high excursion 15-inch driver with a neodymium magnet assembly and employs d&b SenseDrive technology when driven by the D12 amplifier.
The Ti loudspeaker systems can be driven by either the d&b D6 or D12 power amplifiers which are specially designed and manufactured by d&b utilizing digital signal processing and include switchable functions for precisely tailoring system response for a wide variety of applications. Between them they provide two different power ranges, incorporate d&b loudspeaker specific configuration information and have analog and digital signal inputs and links. Both amplifiers have d&b Remote network interfaces enabling control and monitoring of the system functions and extensive system integration capabilities.
