The d&b 44S is a compact passive two-way loudspeaker specifically developed for integration into architecturally sensitive environments where space and discretion are critical. Engineered to deliver high output and controlled directivity, the d&b 44S is designed for fixed installations in venues such as conference facilities, corporate environments, houses of worship, performing arts centres, and hospitality spaces. Equipped with two 4.5-inch neodymium low-frequency drivers and two 1.25-inch high-frequency dome tweeters, it delivers consistent, intelligible audio across a wide range of applications. The d&b 44S incorporates a rotatable constant directivity horn, allowing the 90 by 30 degree dispersion to be aligned for either vertical or horizontal orientation. This level of adaptability supports precise coverage control in a variety of installation scenarios. For flush mounting into walls or ceilings, the optional d&b Z5427.000 44S back box enables secure integration and allows for adjustable dispersion angles via the cabinet’s asymmetric shape. The d&b 44S may be deployed as a standalone system or supplemented with actively driven d&b subwoofers for extended low-frequency performance. Built for durability and aesthetic versatility, the loudspeaker features an injection-moulded enclosure with impact-resistant paint, a robust metal grille, and compatibility with a full range of rigging accessories. The d&b 44S is also available in Special Colour options to support visual integration across diverse architectural settings.
