d&b's new E12 and E12-D are precision made, high performance two-way multipurpose loudspeakers, which are perfect for speech and music as a stand-alone full range system, or can be seamlessly incorporated into larger distributed applications. The unbelievably lightweight, polyurethane integral hard foam cabinets can be easily mounted on loudspeaker stands, flown from overhead bars and can be used either in vertical or horizontal orientation. The multi faceted shape of the enclosures also allows use as excellent, low visual impact, high power stage monitors. Elegant, high powered, versatile loudspeakers that are incredibly easy to use.

These loudspeakers employ a 1.3" exit HF compression driver and constant directivity horn accommodated within the circumference of a 12" LF driver. The E12 has an 80° x 50° dispersion pattern (h x v), while the E12-D has a wider 110° x 50° pattern. Should it be required, the horns in both loudspeakers may simply be rotated through 90° without the use of tools. As is typical at d&b, these loudspeakers produce significant output levels given their size and weight, being 580 x 350 x 334 mm (22.83 x 13.77 x 13.15 inches) and weighing a mere 16 kg (35.3 lb). When powered by the D12 amplifier the E12 and E12-D can produce 134 dB SPL and 133 dB SPL(linear weighting) respectively.

The new E15X-SUB fully complements the new E12 and E12-D to enable the easy reproduction of high level music program. The E15X-SUB is a compact, lightweight, high performance subwoofer employing a long excursion 15" neodymium driver in a bass-reflex enclosure, extending the frequency response down to 40 Hz (-5dB) with an output of up to 130 dB SPL (linear weighting). A single D6 or D12 amplifier channel will power both the E15X-SUB and E12 using the built in passive crossover, greatly extending both low frequency headroom and bandwidth of the system. Alternatively, the E15X-SUB can be actively driven by a single d&b amplifier channel with the appropriate configuration selected. In this mode the E15X-SUB can be used with any of the E-Series loudspeakers.
