Ci-SUB subwoofer
The Ci-SUB is the dedicated subwoofer for the Ci-Series loudspeakers for flown array situations. The Ci-SUB employs a single 18" driver, and its compact bass-reflex design extends the low frequency response down to 44 Hz. The Ci-SUB cabinet is constructed from marine plywood and has an impact resistant paint finish. The front of the loudspeaker cabinet is protected by a rigid metal grill, covered with an acoustically transparent foam. Four M12 and four M16 threaded inserts are provided for attaching installation hardware. The cabinet rear panel is fitted with a single NL4 connector. The loudspeaker cabinet is also available in Special Colour (SC) and Weather Resistant (WR) options.
Amplifiers
The Ci-SUB can be driven either by the d&b D6 or D12 dual channel power amplifiers configured for the C7-SUB. More detailed information on specific loudspeaker setups with d&b amplifiers is available either in the relevant loudspeaker or amplifier manuals.
