Brand: d&b audiotechnik
#18 d&b audiotechnik 10S: $1,399 Passive eBay
Same family: the d&b audiotechnik 4S (smaller model, estimated 3.2/5), the d&b audiotechnik 42S (smaller model, estimated 3.5/5), the d&b audiotechnik 44S (smaller model, rated 3.6/5), the d&b audiotechnik 5S (smaller model, estimated 3.3/5), the d&b audiotechnik 8S (smaller model, rated 3.1/5), the d&b audiotechnik 12S (larger model, rated 3.8/5) and the d&b audiotechnik 24S (larger model, rated 3.8/5).
Pros: A compact passive 10 inch speaker with a rotatable horn, designed for theaters, churches and fill duty in permanent installs. Manufacturer measurements give preference scores of 2.74 standalone and 5.60 with an ideal subwoofer, with bass to 75Hz at -3dB and about 56Hz at -10dB. A 1.4-inch compression driver on a rotatable 75° x 50° horn gives a 130dB peak from a compact 13kg cabinet, suited to theaters, churches and fills. Measured bass extension of 75Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Listening-window deviation of 0.608 means tonal balance is less even than the flattest 10-inch models. It is passive, needs d&b amplifiers and presets, and is aimed at permanent installs. It is sold only through d&b dealers with no published price.
