Y8 Technical Specification:
The compact Y8 loudspeaker is designed for use in vertical columns to form the d&b Y8 Line Array System. The 2-way passive design features two 8inch drivers in a dipole arrangement and a centrally mounted 1.4inch compression driver with a wave transformer. Sophisticated horn geometry combined with the advanced bass-reflex port design delivers full bandwidth capabilities with an extended LF output. These high performance line array modules offer 80deg horizontal directivity controlled down to 500 Hz. The mechanical and acoustical design enables vertical arrays of up to twenty four loudspeakers with vertical splay angles from 0deg to 14deg with a 1deg resolution. Users can deploy the system in columns of purely Y8 loudspeakers or combine it with Y12 (not an IPS stock item) and/or Y-SUB cabinets.
Audio experts d&b construct the loudspeaker cabinet from marine plywood and apply an impact- and weather-protected PCP (Polyurea Cabinet Protection) finish. A rigid metal grill backed by acoustically transparent foam protects the front of the loudspeaker cabinet. Each side panel incorporates three point rigging hardware integrated into the loudspeaker enclosure. This is plus a handle, while two additional recessed grips are provided at the rear.
