d&b audiotechnik has announced the 25D and D25 power amplifiers; the D25 is optimised for mobile applications while the 25D is tailored for installation. Based on the company’s most advanced amplifier DSP platform, both models integrate Milan networking and offer full compatibility with d&b’s software suite.
‘With the 25D and D25, we’re not only providing customers with a cost-effective solution to address venues and events for small to mid-sized applications perfectly, but they also share the same feature set as the more powerful D90, D40 and 40D amplifier models to create maximum application flexibility for their individual needs,’ says Head of Product Management, Electronics & Software, Wolfgang Schulz.
‘Users can rely on proven features such as ArrayProcessing and Milan to ensure performance and ease of integration.’
For rental companies, venue operators and system integrators looking for efficient amplification, the D25 and its installed counterpart, the 25D, offer power and adaptability. Both models provide the optimal output voltage for mid-size sound reinforcement requirements. When combined with d&b loudspeaker systems, such as the CCL System, A-Series, Y-Series, E-Series, xC-Series or Xs-Series, these amplifiers provide a fully integrated d&b system.
As part of d&b’s latest DSP platform, the 25D and D25 integrate Milan for synchronisation, streamlined configuration and enhanced interoperability. ‘Milan integration has always been a priority for us,’ says Product Manager Electronics, Marco Fußhöller. ‘By bringing this protocol to our latest amplifiers, we’re not only enhancing user experience but also driving wider industry adoption.’
Both amplifiers support the full suite of d&b software solutions, including ArrayCalc, ArrayProcessing, NoizCalc and R1 remote control. Additionally, the integration of d&b HeadroomCalc allows for a more accurate prediction of the overall system performance, helping users make well-informed decisions at every stage of a project.
The 25D and D25 feature a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen for intuitive device configuration and real-time status monitoring. Housed in a 2U frame, they support up to 16 input channels, including eight Milan input channels, four analogue inputs and four AES3 channels with corresponding link outputs. The installed 25D version also includes dedicated Euroblock connectors for General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) and a fault contact, providing eight GPI and four GPO pins for additional control functionality. Enhanced energy-saving features, high power efficiency, and an automatic wake-up function further support sustainable operation.
The 25D and D25 amplifiers will be available starting Q3 2025.
