Q-SUB

d&b audiotechnik Q-SUB Q-Series Subwoofer

This actively driven low compression bass-reflex loudspeaker is fitted with a high excursion 18" driver; d&b SenseDrive technology is available when powered by the D12 amplifier. It is mechanically compatible with the Q1 and Q7 speakers; ten sockets in the front grill and side panels for Q-Series rigging components permit use in various combinations, either flown or ground stacked.

Its cabinet is constructed from marine plywood with an impact-resistant paint finish, a pair of handles, four heavy-duty wheels and an M20 threaded flange in the top panel to accept a loudspeaker stand. The cabinet front is protected by a rigid metal grill covered with replaceable, acoustically transparent foam, and two EP5 or NL4 connectors wired in parallel are mounted on the rear panel. Two runners protect the bottom of the cabinet from scratching and locate in correspondingly-shaped recesses in the top panel to prevent movement when stacked. Fittings for securing an optional transport lid are also provided.

The Q-SUB can be driven either by d&b's D6 or D12 dual-channel power amplifiers. Applications include live music, playback, speech, stage monitor or subwoofer.
