Thank you for choosing a dBTechnologies Product!

INGENIA IG3T is a powerful 2-way vertical speaker, equipped with one 1.4” compression driver with a 3” voice coil
and two 10” woofers, in an innovative shape. The horn of the driver is vertically asymmetrical, for a precise acoustical
coverage in different kind of installations, indoor and outdoor. The powerful DIGIPRO® G3 amplifier section, capable
of handling up to 900 W (RMS power), is controlled by a DSP, which can perform a detailed customization of the
output sound of the speaker. In particular, the DSP can recognize if 2 INGENIA IG3Ts are installed together, stacked
or flown, through the special IR communication handles, and can perform a digital steering, making them sound as
one single source with a selectable inclination. All the DSP parameters can be viewed and selected in the user­friendly interface, equipped with a self-rotating OLED display, and can be saved and reloaded in different custom
settings by the user, who can protect his choices with a password.

The speaker can be configured in 5 main modes:

Single Mode
(only 1 IG3T)

Stacked on

a subwoofer

(1 or 2 IG3T)

Pole-

Flown

(1 or 2 IG3T)

subwoofer. It is mandatory to use an additional
fastening system to secure properly the installation.

Option 5: Flown (1 or 2 speakers)

The speaker can be mounted flown, using the optional
DRK-IG fly bar and TGA-IG truss adapter.

In a 2-speakers configuration, it is mandatory to use a
couple of LP-IG optional link brackets to mount them
together. / Other kinds of installation not illustrated in
this manual are not admitted. /Don’t cover the handles in
any way, they are equipped with infrared ports!

3) Connections and OLED Display

The INGENIA speakers are equipped with an intuitive
OLED display. All the connections are in the amplifier
panel side:

Option 1: Single Mode (1 speaker mounted on an
optional pole stand)

The speaker is equipped with a standard pole­mounting hole, so it can be mounted on a D35 mm
optional pole stand (tripod). For a safe installation, it
is not admitted a 2-speakers mounting, and the user
must check the stability of the system. The maximum
admitted height is 120 cm (47.25 inch.).

Option 2: Stacked on a subwoofer (1 or 2 speakers)

The speaker can be mounted on a subwoofer with D35
pole mounting hole, using a GSA-IG optional adapter.
It is mandatory to use an additional fastening system.

Option 3: On the floor (1 or 2 speakers)

The speaker can be mounted on the floor, only using a
GSA-IG optional adapter. In this case it is mandatory to
use an additional fastening system or straps.

Option 4: Pole-mounted on a subwoofer (1 speaker)

Only one speaker can be installed on a D35 pole
(maximum height: 120 cm – 47.25 in.), mounted on a

1 – Peak led.
2 – OLED Display.
3 – Push rotary encoder (rotate: select, push: confirm).
4 – Mini B-type USB port (for firmware updating).
5 – Link audio output.
6 – Combo line/mic input.
7 – Input sense switch (LINE/MIC).

8 – Auto-range mains (power) input.
9 – Mains (power) link output.

10 – Mains fuse.

The fuse is factory setted for 220-240 V operation.
If it is necessary to change the fuse to 100-120V range:

1. Disconnect the speaker from any cable

2. Wait 5 minutes

3. Substitute the fuse with the correct one supplied

Use only cables with Neutrik® connectors!

4) Ready in less than a minute – Build System menu

The internal DSP provides an easy setup of installation
and allows to configure quickly the IG3T. Even if you
turn off the speaker, your setting will be saved for the
next session!

Set up instructions

Once you have properly
connected the power supply
and audio input (remember to
select the proper “LINE”/”MIC”
choice in input sense switch (7)),
select the gain level in the first
display window, rotating the
push rotary encoder, then push
it to access the menu choice
wizard.

1. Select and confirm

“Build System”,

2. Select and confirm the

"Selfcheck System” to
launch the automatic
recognition procedure
and select and confirm
“NEXT”

3. In the next “System

Structure” menu you
can find the number of
“Speakers” automatically recognized, and you
can choose and confirm the number of
“Subwoofers” you want to use in your
configuration. Then select and confirm “NEXT”

4. In “System Type” you can specify the “Stacked”

(on the floor - pole mounting – subwoofer
mounting) or “Flown” (fly-bar mounting) type
of installation. Then select and confirm “NEXT”

Holding the rotary encoder, you return to the main
Gain/Level window, from each submenu window.
If the system has automatically recognized the
presence of 2 speakers, the next menu will be “System
coverage”. If you have selected the presence of a
subwoofer in your installation, the next menu will be
the “Subwoofer Matching” menu.

5) System Coverage

The INGENIA IG3T’s powerful
DSP can act as a custom delay
line on the transducers, in

order to direct the final acoustical coverage of the
speaker. This menu will appear only when the DSP has
recognized 2 IG3Ts thanks to the infrared handles.
You can choose up to 7 factory settings:

a. UP +10°, for the maximum inclination angle

(with speakers mounted on the floor, on a
stand or a subwoofer)

b. UP +5°, for a medium inclination angle (with

speakers mounted on the floor, on a stand or
a subwoofer)

c. UP +2.5°, for a low inclination angle (with

speakers mounted on the floor, on a stand or
a subwoofer)

d. FAR 0°, for the maximum distance coverage in

a position directly at the level of the audience

e. DOWN -2.5°, for a long-distance coverage

(flown speakers)

f. DOWN -5°, for a medium-distance coverage

(flown speakers)

g. DOWN -10°, for a short-distance coverage

(flown speakers)

6) Subwoofer Matching

Once you have chosen to
match the system to one or
more subwoofers, a menu
will appear allowing you to
select: the model and the HP
Filter frequency, and the system will suggest you the
correct subwoofer delay.

7) System Delay

You can set a custom delay
on your speakers in
milliseconds, meters or feet,
in order to align your
speakers with the main sound system (see the picture
below).

8) Stage Alignment

When you are on stage and
you have different acoustic
sources (for example the
drums of a band) you can choose to align your
speaker with those sources. In this menu you can set
the distance in meters or feet, or the time in ms.

SUPERUSER PASSWORD

You can set a Password in OPTIONS 
in order to protect your custom settings.
If you forget the password, use the code: Q2R5D9
to unlock the system.
