Description

d&b audiotechnik Yi10P Point-Source Loudspeaker

The d&b audiotechnik Y-series is designed to offer flexible and highly configurable systems for use in even the most challenging sound reinforcement applications. The Yi10P loudspeakers can be used for small- to medium-scale sound systems in standalone or distributed point-source solutions. It can also figure into a medium-sized line array setup. The Yi10P’s mounting options are suited fixed installation.

Featuring the same internal components, but with wider dispersion characteristics than the Yi7P, the compact, 2-way passive Yi10P loudspeaker features two 8” drivers in a dipole arrangement with a 1.4” compression driver mounted onto a rotatable constant directivity (CD) horn. Sophisticated horn geometry combined with the advanced bass-reflex port design delivers full bandwidth capabilities with an extended LF output. These point source, high-performance cabinets offer 110° horizontal directivity controlled down to 500Hz, matched with a vertical dispersion of 40°. The horn can be rotated by 90° to enable horizontal orientation.

d&b audiotechnik Yi10P—Parsing the Details

The Yi10P is a passive point-source loudspeaker. It features a dipolar speaker arrangement with two 8″ drivers centered around a 1.4″ HF compression driver mounted on a CD horn with 110° x 40° dispersion characteristics. A rotatable horn enables deployment in either orientation, while an innovative bass-reflex and port design gives an increased LF performance. The high-performance omnidirectional B6 and Bi6-SUB feature a single 18″ long-excursion driver, intended for ground-stacked applications only.

The Yi10P provides a broad variety of deployment possibilities, especially when used as a standalone, full-range system, or combined with other elements from the Y-Series, either ground stacked or flown. The loudspeaker cabinet is constructed from marine plywood and has an impact-resistant paint finish while Weather Resistant (WR) and Special Color (SC) versions are available. The Weather Resistant option provides an IP55* rating and enables the operation of loudspeakers in changing ambient conditions.

The top and bottom panels of the cabinets are each equipped with a pair of M10 threaded inserts to connect to different rigging accessories such as the Z5398 YP Horizontal bracket, the Z5399 YP Mounting bracket, the Z5354 E8/E12 Flying adapter or the Z5020/25 Flying adapter 02/03.

*The IP Code or International Protection Rating, sometimes also interpreted as Ingress Protection Rating. IP55: Protected from limited dust ingress. Protected from low-pressure water jets from any direction. 

HFA circuit

In HFA mode (High-Frequency Attenuation), the HF response of the system is rolled off. HFA provides a natural, balanced frequency response when a unit is placed close to listeners in a near field or delayed use. High-Frequency Attenuation begins gradually at 1kHz, dropping by approximately 3dB at 10kHz. This roll-off mimics the decline in frequency response experienced when listening to a system from a distance in a typically reverberant room or auditorium.

CPL function 

The CPL (Coupling) function compensates for coupling effects between the cabinet and close boundary surfaces or when the cabinet is used as a stage monitor. CPL begins gradually around 1kHz, with the maximum attenuation below 400Hz. To achieve a balanced frequency response, the CPL function can be set to dB attenuation values between 0 and –9. Positive CPL values create an adjustable low-frequency boost (0 to +5dB) and can be set when the system is used in full range mode without subwoofers

Recommended d&b audiotechnik amplifiers 

The d&b D80 amplifier is recommended to drive the Yi10P. The d&b D20, 10D, 30D, and D6 can also be used.

Yi10P applications

  • Theater and opera
  • Live performance venues
  • Nightclubs and bars
  • Houses of worship
  • Other applications for fixed installation
