Overview

The D&B D80 is a high-output four-channel touring amplifier from d&b audiotechnik, built for large-scale live sound where headroom and reliability are non-negotiable. With four independent amplifier channels, the D80 can drive a wider spread of D&B speaker cabinets from a single rack unit, making it well suited to multi-way systems, subwoofer arrays, and demanding festival or arena configurations. Onboard DSP, loudspeaker management, and network control via R1 keep the system aligned and easy to monitor throughout a show. The D&B D80 amplifier is available to hire from VIVID London; we provide delivery, technical crew, and support for productions across London and the Home Counties.

D&B D80 in practice

The d&b audiotechnik D80 is the four-channel amplifier that drives d&b's larger loudspeaker systems. It carries the loudspeaker presets, array processing and system tuning that make a d&b PA sound the way it does, which is why we hire D80s as part of a complete d&b system rather than as a standalone amp.

For London and Home Counties events this typically means a V-Series or Y-Series line array with V-Subs, driven from D80s and tuned by one of our engineers to the room. If you are comparing dry-hire options, ask for the full system spec including the amplifier channel count and the engineer time, not just the box count.

Good for

  • Driving d&b V-Series, Y-Series and V-Sub systems at full spec
  • Conferences and launches where speech intelligibility is the brief
  • Live band and DJ events in ballrooms and marquees

Frequently asked questions

Can I hire a d&b D80 on its own?

We can, but we usually recommend hiring it as part of a matched d&b system with our engineer setting the presets and tuning it to the room. That is where the D80 earns its reputation.

How many d&b loudspeakers does a D80 drive?

It depends on the loudspeaker model and configuration; a single D80 can typically run a compact V-Series or Y-Series system with subs for a mid-size room. We spec the amplifier count against the loudspeaker rig on every quote.

Do you deliver the D&B D80 across London?

Yes — we deliver, set up and collect the D&B D80 across London and the Home Counties: Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, West Sussex and Kent. Delivery and setup are included in your quote.

Is there a minimum hire period?

Most kit is available from a single day, with discounted weekly rates for longer productions. Tell us your dates and we'll confirm the best rate.

Do you provide a technician or operator?

Yes — we can supply an experienced technician to operate or oversee the D&B D80 at your event. Just let us know and we'll include it in the quote.

How do I check availability and book the D&B D80?
