DB Technologies Ingenia IG3t

The INGENIA Series: A Speaker Designed to Evolve from "Solo" to Coupled System

The db Technologie Ingenia IG3 T follows a modern sound reinforcement approach: each speaker is designed to be fully functional on its own, while quickly transformable into a more ambitious system. The range's concept is based on a simple and effective principle: just flip a second speaker and place it on top of the first to create a coherent vertical array. The benefit is not only mechanical: the onboard electronics, via position detection (infrared port), recognize the presence of the second unit and automatically adjust parameters to preserve acoustic coherence and coverage.

Who is the Ingenia IG3 T For and What Are Its Applications?

This 2-way active speaker targets users seeking professional sound reinforcement with fast setup: live performances, DJs, conferences, multipurpose venues, corporate events, rooms requiring excellent intelligibility. In standalone mode, the IG3 T offers an efficient format to sound a space with a powerful point source. In coupled mode, it becomes particularly relevant when the coverage area demands more reach and vertical control, without multiplying stands, adjustment angles, or coverage calculations.

Thanks to its interface and processing, it adapts equally well to a technical team or a solo user: saving time during setup while retaining advanced settings (mixing, equalization, coverage orientation, input levels) directly on the speaker.

Key Technologies: Coverage, Coupling, DSP, and Onboard Control

Automatic Coupling via Infrared and Position Detection (EPD)

The Ingenia IG3 T can operate as a standalone system or in pairs. When a second speaker is added and positioned according to the series' coupling principle, infrared technology enables presence detection and an onboard assistant automatically configures the system. The goal is clear: achieve the best possible coverage and optimal acoustic coherence without complex setup.

CEC Horn: Constant Horizontal Dispersion, Controlled Verticality

The IG3 T's horn is designed to be horizontally symmetrical and vertically asymmetrical. Practically, horizontal dispersion remains wide and consistent, while vertical dispersion is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. This behavior is particularly useful when coupling two speakers: high frequencies combine more cleanly, limiting interference and improving coverage uniformity.

Digital Beam Steering: Adjust Projection Without Moving the Speaker

The IG3 T integrates a digital beam steering function that processes coverage to adjust it without physically changing the enclosure's orientation. The result: improved intelligibility across the listening area, with more uniform dispersion, especially appreciated in demanding contexts (seated/standing audiences, variable room depth, placement constraints).

DSP and OLED Interface: Direct, Clear, and Efficient Control

Control is via an intuitive OLED screen, paired with a rotary encoder with switch function and auto-rotating display. Behind this ergonomics lies advanced DSP processing (56-bit DSP, 24-bit/48 kHz conversion, linear phase FIR processing), factory presets and user-defined settings, as well as protection management via limiters (Peak, RMS, thermal). All contribute to reliable and consistent sound reproduction, even at sustained levels.

Finally, the design facilitates safe coupling: feet and recesses on top and bottom ensure alignment, and dedicated accessories (LP-IG for coupling, DRK-IG for vertical array suspension) allow adapting the setup for stage or installation.
