#5 DB Audiotechnik 4S Passive Estimated eBay
Same family: the DB Audiotechnik 42S (larger model, ranked higher, estimated 3.5/5), the DB Audiotechnik 44S (larger model, rated 3.6/5), the DB Audiotechnik 5S (larger model, ranked higher, estimated 3.3/5), the DB Audiotechnik 8S (larger model, rated 3.1/5), the DB Audiotechnik 10S (larger model, rated 3.7/5), the DB Audiotechnik 12S (larger model, rated 3.8/5) and the DB Audiotechnik 24S (larger model, rated 3.8/5).
Pros: A passive installation loudspeaker from d&b’s xS-Series alongside the measured DB Audiotechnik 44S and DB Audiotechnik 8S: the ultra-compact 4” model, weighing just 1 kg, for fills and discreet installs. d&b rates it at 115dB maximum SPL with a range of 130Hz - 20kHz (-5dB) when driven by its matched d&b amplifier presets.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so it can’t be compared with ranked PA speakers. It is meant to run from d&b amplifiers with the matching preset and is sold only through d&b dealers, so there is no retail price.
