d&b Audiotechnik B22 Package

The d&b audiotechnik B22  subwoofer is a high-powered, versatile sub-bass system designed for use in large-scale professional sound reinforcement applications. Known for its robust output and precise low-frequency reproduction, the B22 is often used in concert venues, festivals, and events where impactful bass is crucial. It is engineered to deliver exceptional performance as a standalone subwoofer or as part of a larger d&b system, complementing full-range loudspeakers and line arrays with deep, controlled bass response.

The B22 package features a dual 18-inch driver configuration housed in a bass-reflex enclosure. This setup is optimized to produce powerful low frequencies down to 32 Hz, making it ideal for genres and events that demand significant low-end energy. The enclosure design incorporates a large port that minimizes air turbulence, allowing for efficient airflow and reduced distortion at high sound pressure levels. This results in a clean, punchy bass that maintains clarity even at high volumes, ensuring that the subwoofer can handle demanding audio environments with ease.

Constructed from high-grade marine plywood and finished with a durable black protective coating, the B22 is designed to withstand the rigors of touring and repeated setup and breakdown. The cabinet’s design also includes strategically placed handles and a rugged grille to protect the drivers, making it both roadworthy and easy to transport. The subwoofer’s dimensions and weight are balanced to facilitate stacking and arraying with other d&b subs, allowing for flexible deployment options depending on the venue’s acoustic requirements.

To optimize performance, the B22 subwoofer is powered and managed by d&b audiotechnik amplifiers such as the D20, D40, and D80. These amplifiers provide presets specifically tailored for the B22, ensuring seamless integration and optimal sound output. The d&b amplifiers also come with remote control and monitoring capabilities, which help sound engineers manage system performance in real-time and adjust settings according to the acoustics of the venue. The B22’s cardioid setup capability allows for reduced sound projection behind the subwoofer, resulting in a cleaner stage sound with minimized low-frequency spill.
