The R90 Touchscreen remote control from d&b provides straightforward, centralised operation of d&b audio systems, making it suitable for users with varying levels of technical knowledge. This 7-inch panel PC, powered by a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor and based on Beckhoff architecture, enables direct access to essential functions such as power, mute, level control, grouping, and the recall of up to nine AmpPresets. Operating independently from the R1 Remote control software, the R90 reduces the risk of unintended changes to system configuration. Supporting up to 15 amplifiers without the need for custom protocol programming, the d&b R90 can also be accessed remotely via smartphones or tablets on the same network. Once initial setup is complete, routine system management can be performed without the need for technical staff. As part of the d&b system integration approach, the R90 enhances operational efficiency in permanent audio installations and complex sound environments.

Control panel

• Intuitive user interface for control of general functions of a d&b system
• Simple setup for system integrators, no additional code required
• Manage daily operation of a d&b system without technician

The DS100 Signal Engine is a professional-grade DSP platform from d&b audiotechnik, designed for network-based audio signal management. Fully Dante-enabled, the DS100 Signal Engine integrates directly with the d&b R1 Remote control software, supporting established workflows for system configuration and operation. Users can create remote views for grouped parameter control and store complete system setups using snapshots. Enhanced capabilities within ArrayCalc and R1 streamline the implementation of matrix functions within d&b loudspeaker systems, from configuring the DS10 Network bridge to setting up Dante outputs for loudspeaker connectivity. The DS100 Signal Engine also supports full Open Sound Control (OSC) compatibility, enabling external control and automation across complex audio environments. By combining precise signal routing with centralised management, the DS100 Signal Engine delivers reliable and scalable audio processing for professional installations and live sound applications.

• DSP platform for d&b Soundscape
• Audio matrix with scalable I/O options and Level and Delay at every crosspoint
• En-Scene software included
• Dante I/O
• Latency (Dante In to Dante Out): < 1.4 ms @ 48 kHz / < 1.6 ms @ 96 kHz

The DN1 Ethernet switch is a key component within the d&b system network, designed to support Milan AVB-based infrastructures with high efficiency. Engineered specifically for professional audio networks, the DN1 switch is Avnu Alliance certified and enables concurrent support for Milan AVB, AES70 OCA, Dante, and standard IP protocols. Its plug-and-play operation eliminates the need for network configuration expertise, automatically recognising primary or secondary Milan streams on each port and identifying incorrect cabling. The DN1 Ethernet switch streamlines redundancy setup by dynamically adjusting its IP address according to network assignment. It offers eleven IEEE 802.1BA-compliant Ethernet ports with data rates up to 1 Gbit per second. Three ports on the front panel feature robust etherCON connectors, with two delivering 15 watts PoE to power compatible devices such as the d&b ArraySight. Housed in a durable 1 RU 9.5-inch chassis, the DN1 Ethernet switch allows dual-unit rack installation for compact redundancy solutions.

11-port Ethernet hardware device to support Milan™/AVB enabled LAN network communication

• Supporting Milan™/AVB, Dante®, AES67, AES70/OCA and standard IP traffic simultaneously
• Plug-and-play approach
• Monitoring and setting of IP address and remoteID using the R1 Remote control software
• Milan™/AVB primary / secondary network traffic detection and error indication
• Two Ethernet ports to connect and power PoE enabled devices

The DS20 Audio Network Bridge serves as a key interface between Milan audio networks and AES3 digital audio signals, while also enabling the distribution of Ethernet-based control data. Housed in a 1 RU chassis, the DS20 integrates into the d&b system architecture ahead of the amplifiers in the signal path, supporting both touring and fixed installations. It transmits metadata such as Milan channel labels and cable configuration via the AES3 stream directly to d&b four channel amplifiers. Alongside Milan-to-AES3 network bridging, the DS20 Audio Network Bridge offers four digital AES3 input channels for additional sources, including signals from a Front of House console. Equipped with a fully AVB-compliant five-port switch, the DS20 supports primary and redundant Milan networks while providing connectivity for remote control via the R1 software using the OCA protocol. Its front panel layout aligns with d&b Touring rack systems, and its wide-range power supply includes overvoltage protection up to 400 volts.

Interface between d&b amplifiers and the Milan audio transport protocol

• 16 AES3 digital output channels
• 4 AES3 digital input channels
• Integrated fully AVB-enabled 5-port network switch
