D&B AUDIOTECHNIK V8
The d&b audiotechnik V8 is the best line array system in the V-Series, which is the best line array technology on the market right now. It is also the best example of German audio engineering. This three-way active line array uses d&b's cutting-edge SplitArrays technology, which combines two 8-inch Neodymium woofers, a 6-inch midrange driver, and a 1.4-inch titanium tweeter compression driver to make an amazing 134dB of maximum sound pressure. The best German craftsmanship went into making its carbon fiber case, and its patented ArrayProcessing digital signal processing makes sure that the sound quality and coverage are perfect even in the biggest venues.
The system has a cutting-edge DSP digital signal processor that works perfectly with ArrayCalc 3D array design software. This helps system engineers figure out exactly how sound will travel in hard-to-reach places and make sure that everyone has the best possible sound experience. It has an IP54 rating, which means it can be used in many different performance settings around the world. The d&b NoizCalc noise prediction system makes sure it meets international environmental standards. The V8 is d&b's most advanced large-scale line array technology, and it provides the best sound for the biggest events in the world.
