2.1. Product description

The Y-SUB is a compact high performance cardioid subwoofer

designed to supplement the d&b Y-Series cabinets.

The Y-SUB houses two long excursion neodymium drivers in an

integrated cardioid setup: an 18" driver in a bass-reflex design

facing to the front and a 12" driver in a two chamber bandpass

design radiating to the rear. The arrangement and tuning provide a

cardioid dispersion pattern using a single amplifier channel.

The frequency response extends from 39 Hz to 140/110 Hz.

The cabinet is constructed from marine plywood and has an impact

and weather protected PCP (Polyurea Cabinet Protection) finish.

The front of the loudspeaker cabinet is protected by a rigid metal

grill backed by an acoustically transparent foam. Each side panel

incorporates two handles and mounted on the rear panel are four

heavy duty wheels. An M20 threaded flange in the top panel

accepts a loudspeaker stand or the Z5396 Y Base plate for the

deployment of TOP cabinets.

Cardioid dispersion
Cardioid dispersion avoids unwanted energy behind the system

and greatly reduces the excitation of the reverberant field at low

frequencies providing the greatest accuracy of low frequency

reproduction. The subwoofers can be used as stand-alone solutions

or in stacked combinations with a minimum distance of 60 cm (2 ft)

between adjacent cabinets or between the subwoofers and a side

wall. When positioned in front of walls, the minimum distance to

rear walls is maintained by the wheels mounted at the rear of the

cabinet.

Y-Series rigging components and arrays
Cabinets are mechanically connected using the rigging strands on

both sides of the cabinet front and a central strand at the rear of

the cabinet. All necessary rigging components are mounted to the

cabinet and fold out or slide out when needed. The rigging

components are also intended to interconnect and secure Y-SUB

cabinets in ground stacked applications.

A detailed description of the Y-Series rigging components is given

in the Y-Series Rigging manual which is provided with the Y Flying

frame.

A detailed description of planning and designing Y arrays is given

in the technical information "TI 385 d&b Line array design,

ArrayCalc" which is also provided with the Y Flying frame.

The d&b ArrayCalc simulation software can be downloaded from

the d&b website at
