d&b Audiotechnik C3 System for Sale | 4 C3 Speakers with P1200 Amplification

The d&b Audiotechnik C3 System for sale is a compact professional long-throw package consisting of 4 C3 loudspeakers, 2 P1200 amplifiers fitted with C3 modules, 4 wooden front lids and 4 adjustable chains. With its narrow 35° × 5° dispersion, two-way active architecture and high-output design, the C3 was developed for applications where controlled projection over longer distances is important.

Rather than presenting this as a modern d&b line-array package, the C3 is best understood as established professional d&b technology. For rental companies, venues and existing C-Series owners, this package offers matching loudspeakers, dedicated amplification and essential deployment accessories together.

What Is Included in the C3 Package?

This package is therefore more than four loose C3 cabinets. The P1200 amplification and C3-specific modules are already part of the offered inventory.

Four C3 Long-Throw Loudspeakers

The system contains 4 d&b C3 long-throw loudspeakers.

The C3 was developed for controlled professional sound reinforcement where narrow vertical dispersion and long-distance projection are desirable. Its 35° horizontal by 5° vertical dispersion is considerably tighter than that of many conventional point-source cabinets.

Consequently, the C3 can be useful in appropriately designed systems where engineers need to direct acoustic energy toward a defined audience area rather than spread it broadly in every direction.

C3 Loudspeaker Configuration

Each cabinet uses:

• 2 × 10-inch low-frequency drivers
• 3 × 1.3-inch high-frequency components
• 2-way active operation
• 35° horizontal coverage
• 5° vertical coverage
• Stated maximum SPL of 144 dB

With four cabinets in this package, the buyer receives eight 10-inch LF drivers across the complete C3 inventory.

Why the 35° × 5° Coverage Matters

One of the most distinctive characteristics of the C3 is its narrow dispersion.

The 35° horizontal pattern concentrates coverage compared with wider conventional loudspeakers. Meanwhile, the 5° vertical pattern allows multiple cabinets to work within professionally configured arrays while maintaining controlled vertical coverage.

This makes the C3 fundamentally different from a general-purpose loudspeaker designed to cover a wide audience from a single cabinet.

For that reason, correct positioning and system design are particularly important when deploying C3 systems.

Two-Way Active Operation

The C3 operates as a two-way active loudspeaker system.

That means the low-frequency and high-frequency sections require the appropriate amplification and processing rather than operating from a simple full-range passive amplifier channel.

This package addresses that requirement by including two P1200 amplifiers with C3 modules.

As a result, buyers receive amplification specifically associated with this generation of d&b equipment instead of needing to begin by sourcing the original system electronics separately.

2 × P1200 Amplifiers with C3 Modules

Two d&b P1200 amplifiers accompany the four C3 cabinets.

Importantly, the P1200 units include the appropriate C3 modules. This is particularly relevant for an older professional loudspeaker platform because the correct controller configuration forms an important part of achieving the intended system response and protection.

For buyers who already operate C-Series equipment, having matching P1200/C3 electronics can also make this package easier to integrate with an existing compatible inventory.

Four Adjustable Chains

The package includes 4 adjustable chains, with adjustment from 0° to 6°.

These accessories support the positioning requirements associated with the system. Because C3 has only 5° of nominal vertical dispersion, cabinet angles play an important role in determining overall audience coverage.

Rigging hardware on older professional equipment should always undergo appropriate inspection before use. In addition, deployment should follow the relevant d&b documentation and applicable local safety requirements.

Wooden Front Lids Included

Each of the four C3 cabinets comes with a wooden front lid.

Therefore, the complete system includes four protective lids.

For professional touring equipment, these are useful during storage and transportation because they help protect the front of the loudspeaker while the cabinets move between warehouses, trucks and event locations.

This makes the package more practical for rental and production companies than an equivalent set of unprotected loose cabinets.

High-Output Professional Sound

The supplied C3 specification lists a maximum SPL of 144 dB.

Maximum SPL figures should always be considered alongside the manufacturer’s original measurement conditions and correct system configuration. Nevertheless, the specification reflects the C3’s intended role as a high-output professional system rather than a small general-purpose PA enclosure.

Its combination of narrow coverage and substantial acoustic output made the system particularly suited to applications requiring controlled projection.

Where a C3 System Makes Sense

The C3 package can be relevant for professional applications such as concert sound, touring inventories, live-event production, large performance spaces, professional PA rental and venues already operating compatible d&b C-Series equipment.

It can also be especially attractive as an inventory expansion for an owner who already understands the C3/P1200 platform.

Since this is previous-generation professional equipment, buyers should evaluate cabinet condition, driver condition, amplifier condition and rigging hardware before deployment.

A Complete Legacy d&b Package

A key advantage of this listing is the combination of speakers and matching system electronics.

You receive:

4 × d&b C3
2 × P1200 with C3 modules
4 × wooden front lids
4 × adjustable 0°–6° chains

For someone specifically searching for C3 equipment, obtaining these components together may be more practical than sourcing each part independently.

European Delivery for Professional Buyers

Euro Electronic Space can arrange delivery of this C3 package to supported destinations across Europe, including Germany, France, the Netherlands and Italy.

Freight requirements depend on the destination and final shipment dimensions. Therefore, professional buyers can request a shipping quotation based on their delivery country and postcode.

C3 System Questions

How many d&b C3 speakers are included?

The package contains 4 C3 long-throw loudspeakers.

What drivers are used in each C3?

The supplied specification lists two 10-inch LF components and three 1.3-inch HF components per cabinet.

What is the C3 coverage pattern?

Nominal dispersion is 35° horizontal × 5° vertical.

Is the C3 passive or active?

The C3 is listed as a two-way active system, requiring appropriate amplification and controller configuration.

Are amplifiers supplied with this package?

Yes. You receive 2 P1200 amplifiers fitted with C3 modules.

Does the package include protective lids?

Yes. There are 4 wooden front lids, one for each listed C3 cabinet.

Is positioning hardware included?

Yes. Four adjustable chains with a stated adjustment range of 0°–6° are included.

Is this a current d&b model?

No. The C3 and P1200 belong to an earlier generation of d&b professional equipment. Therefore, the package is particularly relevant to buyers maintaining or expanding compatible legacy d&b systems.
