d&b audiotechnik introduced the XSL series to Singapore at an exclusive launch event held on Jan 14, 2022.
The XSL is the latest addition to d&b audiotechnik's top of the range line array family, the SL-series, and it is also the smallest family member. The XSL encompasses all the comprehensive features of its SL bloodline, from outstanding broadband directivity control and extended low frequency performance, to comprehensive rigging, cabling and transportation.
Werner ‘Vier’ Bayer, d&b product manager, said: “The performance-to-size ratio of the XSL System is unlike anything available in the current sound reinforcement market, or within the d&b portfolio. For installation, the system's broadband directivity control drastically improves the ratio of direct to reverberant sound in acoustically critical spaces. In short, it will clean up your room! For mobile, a small footprint and improved sonic performance are really valuable. It’s an enormous step, it’s really impressive.”
Matthias Christner, head of R&D Acoustics at d&b, said: “Going into the design of this product we were actually a bit sceptical about whether we could achieve the signature SL-Series directivity performance in such a compact format. We’re really thrilled, slightly stunned and very proud that it works so well. I truly believe that the sound quality, dispersion, and clarity delivered by XSL will spearhead the evolution that we all expect from smaller arrays in the future.”
The launch event also featured Soundscape Experience session conducted by Gareth Owen.
