d&b audiotechnik has become the first audio manufacturer to pledge regular support to Liveline, a new initiative set up by Music Venue Trust (MVT), Save Our Scene (SOS) and association of independent promoters (aip) to strengthen the UK grassroots music sector.
Founded in 1981 in Germany, d&b audiotechnik has had a strong UK presence since the early 2000s and is the first-choice sound system for the world's most successful artists, engineers and venues. Consistently the most-used brand of the Top 50 global tours, d&b remains close to its UK customers, supporting them with expert knowledge, service and developing skills via their renowned education program.
Stephen Hogg, Managing Director, d&b audiotechnik UK, says, “The grassroots music sector is the foundation of the UK’s cultural and musical ecosystem. These small, local venues are where emerging artists, musicians, and behind-the-scenes talent develop their skills, find their voice, and build the connections that shape their future careers. As a technology provider, d&b have supported these spaces and young talent by offering system design, knowledge transfer and free training”.
the kit
d&b make loudspeakers for every kind of space — from XL arenas to the most intimate venues. Their portfolio spans the largest line‑array formats, including the industry‑leading SL‑Series, artist‑loved stage monitors, the robust yet versatile V‑ and Y‑Series, and their newest CL and U‑Series, bringing the latest in audio innovation to smaller, more compact environments.
