"d&b specific" combination of natural, intelligible sound character
that is clear and transparent, even at high sound pressure levels
providing the engineer with an efficient, effortless tool and a neutral
platform for the creative part of his work.
Drawing from the knowledge and experience gained from d&b's
standard product lines, the Ci-Series shares the architecture of all
its systems. Combining loudspeakers, electronics, accessories,
remote control, documentation, data, product support and service
to create complete, integrated solutions for sound reinforcement
applications.

Ci80 Loudspeaker
|
The Ci80 is a full range, two way bass-reflex enclosure, utilizing
an 8"/1" coaxial driver combination with a passive crossover.
Coaxially mounting the 1" exit HF compression driver and 8" LF
driver creates a very compact single driver whilst retaining the
benefits of separate magnetic assemblies. The drivers are positioned
together to utilize the combined shape and geometry of the LF cone
and HF horn to create a single waveguide with a controlled,
symmetrical, 85° conical dispersion.
The Ci80 frequency response covers the 70 Hz to 20 kHz band,
suitable for applications not requiring very low bass. Where further
low frequency extension is required the Ci80 can be supplemented
with d&b active subwoofers E12-SUB or Ci-SUB. The compact
cabinet size and the wide conical dispersion of 85°, allowing both
horizontal or vertical mounting, makes the Ci80 an extremely
versatile loudspeaker ideal for use in the near field, within surround
systems or as delays.
The Ci80 cabinet is constructed from marine plywood and has an
impact resistant paint finish. The front of the cabinet is protected
by a rigid metal grill fitted with an acoustically transparent foam.
The 30° angled rear side panels of the cabinet allow Ci80s to be
positioned side by side forming miniature arrays. Four M8 threaded
inserts are provided for attaching installation hardware. The cabinet
rear panel is fitted with two NL4 connectors wired in parallel.

Ci45/Ci60/Ci90 Loudspeaker
|
Ci45, Ci60 and Ci90 are full range, two-way bass-reflex enclosures
each fitted with a 12" LF driver passively crossed over to a 1.4" exit
HF compression driver coupled to a CD horn with 45° × 45°,
65° × 40° or 90° × 40° respectively and are acoustically compatible
due to the superb CD characteristics. The Ci60 and Ci90 cabinets
allow the horn flares to be rotated through 90° enabling flexibility in
placement for a given dispersion. In the standard, upright operating
position the CD horn is positioned below the LF driver so the HF
dispersion is less likely to be influenced by reflections from walls,
ceilings or other equipment mounted nearby. This arrangement
improves the headroom before feedback when systems are flown
above the stage. The systems are characterized by a maximum
SPL of 136 dB (Ci45 /Ci60) and 135dB (Ci90) respectively with an
extremely precise coverage pattern. The frequency response of
these systems extends from 18 kHz down to 55 Hz enabling use in
most applications without a subwoofer. Where higher SPL with an
extended bass response is required the systems can be supplemented
with d&b active subwoofers Ci7-SUB or Ci-SUB.
The Ci45 /Ci60 /Ci90 cabinets are constructed from marine plywood
and have an impact resistant paint finish. The front is protected by
a rigid metal grill fitted with a replaceable acoustically transparent
foam. M10 threaded inserts are provided on the top and bottom,
and on the sides of each cabinet, for attaching installation hardware.
A recess at the top of the rear panel which also serves as a handle,
is fitted with two NL4 connectors wired in parallel.

Ci7-TOP Loudspeaker
|
The Ci7-TOP is the installation version of the C7-TOP loudspeaker.
It is acoustically compatible with the standard road version differing
only in cabinet construction and mounting hardware.
The Ci7-TOP loudspeaker is a two-way hornloaded loudspeaker,
which provides full range coverage at very high SPLs. The coaxial
constant directivity design maintains a nominal dispersion of
75° × 40° down to 600 Hz. The 15" LF driver is loaded with a
vented enclosure and passively crossed over to a 1.5" exit HF
compression driver.
The Ci7-TOP maintains a high efficiency from 18 kHz down to 68 Hz
and consequently, for applications that do not demand very low
frequencies additional subwoofers are not required.
Where higher SPLs with sufficient bass-headroom is needed, the
Ci7-TOP can be supplemented with either the Ci7-SUB or Ci-SUB.
The Ci7-TOP cabinet is constructed from marine plywood and has
an impact resistant paint finish. The front of the loudspeaker cabinet
is protected by a rigid metal grill, covered with a replaceable
acoustically transparent foam. Four M12 and four M16 threaded
inserts are provided for attaching installation hardware.
Depending on which pair of M16 threaded inserts are used, the
Ci7-TOP cabinet may be deployed for either 757° × 40° or 40° × 75°
coverage. The cabinet rear panel is fitted with a single NL4
connector.
