d & b Audiotechnik E12 series — buyer FAQs
What is the d & b Audiotechnik E12 series and what models does it include?
The d & b Audiotechnik E12 series is a range of point source loudspeakers and compact subwoofers designed for speech and music applications. The range includes the E12, E12-D and E12X-SUB. The E12 and E12-D are 2-way coaxial multipurpose loudspeakers capable of operating as stand-alone full-range systems or as part of larger distributed sound reinforcement setups.
What is the difference between the E12 and the E12-D?
Both the E12 and E12-D use a 12"/1.3" coaxial driver, weigh 16 kg and share a rotatable horn, but their dispersion patterns differ. The E12 covers 80° x 50°, giving a tighter horizontal spread, while the E12-D offers a wider 110° x 50° pattern suited to broader coverage requirements. The E12 reaches a maximum SPL of 134 dB; the E12-D is rated at 133 dB.
How flexible is the E12 series in terms of physical deployment and orientation?
The E12 and E12-D can be used upright, horizontally or as a stage monitor, thanks to the multifaceted enclosure shape. The horn on each model rotates 90°, switching the dispersion between horizontal and vertical planes. A hidden socket accepts a loudspeaker stand, and both models are available in Special Colour and Weather Resistant finish options for varied installation environments.
Who makes the E12 series and where does it sit in the d & b Audiotechnik range?
d & b Audiotechnik is a German professional audio manufacturer based in Backnang, producing loudspeaker systems, subwoofers, line arrays, amplifiers and system control software for the rental, touring and installation markets, with all products manufactured in Germany. The E12 series sits within the company's point source loudspeaker offering, covering 2-way coaxial cabinets and subwoofers for multipurpose speech and music use.
What should I check when buying a used E12 series loudspeaker?
Check which specific model is included (E12, E12-D or E12X-SUB), the finish variant (standard, Special Colour or Weather Resistant) and whether a loudspeaker stand socket insert is present and undamaged. Inspect the coaxial driver and enclosure for impact damage given the hard foam construction.
