Depending on the level requirement, the full range systems can be
supplemented by various active subwoofer systems. These systems
are designated as -SUB. The active cross-over network is located in
the related controller module.
The C4-TOP occupies a special position among the C and E-Series
cabinets. It is generally operated with an additional subwoofer
system.
All the loudspeakers in the C and E-Series feature cabinets made
from marine plywood. They are coated with an impact resistant
paint. The front of the loudspeaker cabinet is fitted with a rigid
metal grill covered with a acoustically transparent foam.
The cabinets can be deployed in a number of ways, via threaded
inserts, stands and mountings for "flying" and the construction of
clusters. A complete range of accessories is also available. We
would like to refer in this respect to the d&b "Rigging accessories"
manual which describes the different installation applications of the
loudspeakers.
1.3. MAX loudspeakers and AMP modules
MAX is a versatile passive loudspeaker, basically designed for stage
monitor use. MAX can be used with almost any high-quality power
amplifier. When operated with a d&b P1200A fitted with an
ampMAX controller module, MAX cabinets can be used in a range of
additional applications such as two-way active monitor, front of
house system or beneath a flown C4 system as downfills.
ampMAX is a two channel controller module and occupies both of
the P1200A module slots. In its standard, passive configuration
ampMAX provides two linear amplifier channels. ampMAX also
incorporates additional switches to specifically configure a
mainframe for use with MAX systems.
The AMP-L module occupies a single P1200A module slot and
provides a single linear amplifier channel with a switchable highpass
filter (CUT). This module is used to drive MAX cabinets or other
passive loudspeakers while the second P1200A module slot is
occupied by a d&b TOP or SUB controller module.
