The new d&b audiotechnik E6 loudspeaker is intended to replace the company’s E3 loudspeaker that has become synonymous with small, convenient, and useful.
The E6 is a high performance multipurpose cabinet employing an integrated 6.5-inch/1-inch exit coaxial driver design with neodymium magnet and constant directivity horn loading.
The horn with its 100-degree x 55-degree (h x v) dispersion pattern can easily be rotated through 90 degrees, providing a 55-degree x 100-degree pattern, without the use of tools.
The E6 is a two-way design with a built-in passive crossover network and its frequency response extends from 85 Hz to above 18 kHz.
The cabinet shape allows use either in a vertical or horizontal orientation as well as deployment as a discreet stage monitor.
Weighing in at 5 kg and with smaller dimensions than the E3, it produces a maximum SPL of 123 dB when powered by the d&b D12 amplifier.
d&b Product Manager Werner “Vier” Bayer remarks “The reaction to the E6 was very positive which, I guess, comes from the belief people have in our development routes. To replace a product as established as the E3 takes great trust and, from what I have seen, people have that trust.”
