The story so far 2007-2009.
2007
d&b's worldwide presence experiences significant growth. After gaining an extremely committed distributor for South Africa the
year before in the guise of Stage Audio Works in Johannesburg, Triangle Entertainment came on board as distributor in Dubai, and Paul
Movies in New Delhi for the Indian subcontinent. Even at home, d&b continues to grow at a relentless pace and as a result a new
building is constructed and a further extension made to the production facilities. The d&b Remote network also experiences updates in
the form of the new R1 Remote control software and the d&b R60 USB to CAN interface.
2008
The year starts with the opening of the brand new office building and new production halls after a comprehensive construction process.
At the same time d&b welcome new, even more versatile systems to the E-Series as well as an addition to the heart of the
d&b System reality namely the intelligent D6 amplifier. Only a few months later the annual ABTT Product of the
Year Sound Award is presented to d&b for the E8 loudspeaker with its innovative rotatable high frequency horn.
Further north in Denmark, a new distributor alfa audio A/S joined the d&b family, which is step by step expanding over the
world.
2009
The New Year promises to bring enormous changes to the world with the inauguration of the first black President of the United States;
it also sees the introduction of the T-Series. Although not such an important event for the history books, it causes a stir in the
audio world through its extraordinary flexibility. Following rapidly in the summer the Ti-Series opens up the bandwidth of
applications to the installation sector, whilst in the autumn the M6 stage monitor and the E12X subwoofer are inaugurated into the
range of compact products. Conversely, we have to admit that heavy bass still requires rather large cabinets in order to lend the
necessary reinforcement to musical messages and this is reflected in the introduction of the J-INFRA and the B4 subwoofers. d&b finishes
the year with a partnership on the other side of the world where the Sydney Opera House, the synthesis of the arts, now shines with
a new sound system: made in Germany.
