2.1 Product description
The 44S is a passive 2-way design housing two 4.5” neodymium
LF drivers built into a bass-reflex design and two 1.25" HF dome
tweeters mounted on a rotatable CD horn thus providing rotatable
dispersion characteristics (h x v) of 90° x 30° and 30° x 90°
respectively.
The frequency response extends from 90 Hz to 17 kHz.
The loudspeaker can be used as a stand-alone system or
supplemented by actively driven d&b subwoofers.
The 44S is a highly directive ultra compact loudspeaker with an
asymmetric cabinet shape. In horizontal orientation, the 44S can
be used as a frontfill loudspeaker.
The enclosure is injection molded with an impact resistant paint
finish. The front of the cabinet is protected by a rigid metal grill.
Two M8 threaded inserts are incorporated in the back panel to
connect to different rigging accessories.
Different brackets enable mounting to walls, under ceilings or
balconies or any other suitable surfaces such as floors as a single
unit (Z5423/Z5424) or in closely coupled clusters of two cabinets
(Z5423 with Z5425).
Using the swivel bracket (Z5426), it can be used as a main or fill
system, flown or mounted on a high stand.
The optional d&b Z5427 44S Backbox is a solution for flush
mounting the loudspeaker into ceilings or walls, either in horizontal
or vertical position. The back box is just 140 mm high making it an
ideal solution for in-stair mounting.
Within the back box, the loudspeaker can be aligned by 20° in
5° increments.
Note: Please also refer to
"Flush mounting" on page11, as well as to the
Z5427 Mounting instructions which are supplied with the 44S
Backbox.
