- d&b audiotechnik expands its amplifier portfolio with two new models, designed for mobile and installed applications.
- D25 and 25D leverage d&b’s latest DSP platform, featuring Milan networking.
- Both deliver optimised performance for smaller/mid-sized applications.
d&b audiotechnik expands its amplifier portfolio with the introduction of the 25D and D25. Based on the company's most advanced amplifier DSP platform, both models integrate Milan networking and offer full compatibility with d&b's software suite, ensuring seamless performance and improved workflow efficiency. Designed for versatility, the D25 is optimised for mobile applications while the 25D is tailored for installation.
"With the 25D and D25, we're not only providing customers with a cost-effective solution to address venues and events for small to mid- sized applications perfectly, but they also share the same feature set as the more powerful D90, D40 and 40D amplifier models to create maximum application flexibility for their individual needs," says Wolfgang Schulz, Head of Product Management, Electronics & Software at d&b audiotechnik. "Users can rely on proven features such as ArrayProcessing and Milan to ensure high performance and ease of integration.”
Optimised for mobile and installation
For rental companies, venue operators and system integrators looking for efficient amplification, the D25 and its installed counterpart- the 25D - offer the perfect balance of power and adaptability. Both models provide the optimal output voltage for mid-size sound reinforcement requirements. When combined with d&b loudspeaker systems, such as the new CCL System, A-Series, Y-Series, E-Series, xC-Series or Xs-Series, these amplifiers provide a fully integrated d&b system.
Advanced DSP and Milan integration
As part of d&b's latest DSP platform, the 25D and D25 integrate Milan for precise synchronisation, streamlined configuration and enhanced interoperability. "Milan integration has always been a priority for us," adds Marco Fußhöller, Product Manager Electronics at d&b audiotechnik. "By bringing this protocol to our latest amplifiers, we’re not only enhancing user experience but also driving wider industry adoption."
Both amplifiers also support the full suite of d&b software solutions, including ArrayCalc, ArrayProcessing, NoizCalc and R1 remote control. Additionally, the integration of d&b HeadroomCalc allows for a more accurate prediction of the overall system performance, helping users make well-informed decisions at every stage of a project.
User Interface and connectivity
The 25D and D25 feature a 4.3” colour touchscreen for intuitive device configuration and real-time status monitoring. Housed in a compact 2RU, they support up to 16 input channels, including eight Milan input channels, four analogue inputs, and four AES3 channels with corresponding link outputs. The installed 25D version also includes dedicated Euroblock connectors for General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) and a fault contact, providing eight GPI and four GPO pins for additional control functionality. Enhanced energy-saving features, high power efficiency, and an automatic wake-up function further support sustainable operation.
The 25D and D25 amplifiers will be available starting end of August. Visitors to InfoComm 2025 (booth no. 6973 or in the demo room W320, Chapin Theater, level 3) will be the first to explore these latest members to the d&b amplifier range.
