d&b audiotechnik has recently announced the introduction of a formidable new addition to the company's SL-Series line array family. The KSL-SUB, available in both flown and ground stack (GSUB) versions made its debut at the 2020 Winter NAMM show in January.
The new KSL-SUB provides a small, lightweight format that extends the frequency response of a KSL System down to 36Hz with exceptional dispersion control, impressive low frequency headroom, and unmatched performance for its size. This powerful, directivity-controlled, smaller format sub enclosure allows venues of all sizes to experience accurate, smooth, and punchy bass response.
The KSL-SUB and KSL-GSUB subwoofers operate with two forward-facing 15-inch drivers and a single, rear-facing 15-inch driver which, driven with 2-way active amplification, provide uncompromised cardioid directivity control.
Measuring just 100 x 90 x 45 cm (39.4 x 35.4 x 17.7 inches) in size, and with a sheer weight of 82 kg (181 lbs), the KSL-SUB delivers an output of 139dB driven by d&b D80 amplifiers.
The KSL-GSUB has a streamlined form: minus the KLS-SUB standard rigging hardware. It stands at a diminutive height of just about 45cm, easily allowing for under stage deployment. Using a new KSL-SUB adapter frame the KSL-SUB can be deployed above KSL-Tops as part of a flown array. The KSL-SUB touring cart enables users to transport KSL-SUBs with both the Adapter frame and Flying frame mounted to the subwoofers if they choose.
“The KSL subwoofers are the next step in d&b‘s continuing obsession with innovation, efficiency, performance and directivity control," said Werner ‘Vier’ Bayer, Product Manager, d&b audiotechnik. "The KSL-System is growing and we will soon introduce new options for permanently-installed applications. Watch for integration-specific KSL cabinet design options and an addition to the d&b installation amplifier portfolio to be announced at ISE 2020 in Amsterdam.”
The KSL System is designed for sound reinforcement needs of all kinds, mobile or installed, from large-scale arenas, stadiums, and festivals to medium scale applications such as clubs, theaters, houses of worship and performing arts venues.
