Frequently asked questions
The d&b Y-SUB is a high-performance cardioid subwoofer designed to complement Y-Series loudspeakers, including the Y7P, Y10P and Y8/Y12 line arrays. Its integrated cardioid design significantly reduces low-frequency energy behind the system, improving stage comfort while delivering precise and controlled bass reproduction. It is an excellent choice for concerts, conferences, corporate events and premium live productions.
The Y-SUB features an integrated cardioid design combining a forward-facing 18-inch driver with a rear-facing 12-inch driver. This configuration significantly reduces sound pressure behind the enclosure while maintaining powerful low-frequency output toward the audience, resulting in cleaner bass and improved low-frequency control on stage.
The Y-SUB has been specifically designed for the entire d&b Y-Series. It is most commonly paired with the Y7P and Y10P to create compact, high-performance sound systems, but it can also be integrated into larger d&b systems alongside line arrays and fill loudspeakers.
The Y-SUB is ideal for concerts, DJ performances, conferences, corporate events, theatres, houses of worship and festivals. Its cardioid design is particularly beneficial where controlling low-frequency energy on stage or in noise-sensitive areas is essential.
