d&b audiotechnik has launched its certified pre-owned (CPO) program, allowing users to purchase remanufactured d&b systems and products.
The CPO program is part of d&b’s support for sustainable development goals which were adopted by UN member states in 2015 and the corporate social responsibility direction established by the European Union.
Ammon Harman, CEO, d&b audiotechnik commented: “The CPO program means our systems are more accessible than ever before. At a time when the entire entertainment industry has been challenged, remanufacturing extends the life of a d&b system with all the benefits of buying new.”
During the remanufacturing process, each system undergoes an exterior, mechanical and acoustic check, with a full-system inspection to check for damage. All foam and seals are replaced, with the exterior repainted with the original d&b top coat.
Pins, rigging, links, wheels, latches, frames and chains are inspected for damage, tested and replaced if needed, with the product going through frequency and impedance checks in the same manner as new products.
The CPO program is currently on offer for the J-Series large format system, with the CPO program systems featuring the same accessories, service, finance and support included with a new system as well as a two year warranty and a five year factory warranty for all new parts.
