VIO L1608

VIO L1608 ist ein aktives 3-Wege-Line-Array-Modul mit drei separaten Verstärkerkanälen. Trotz kompakter Abmessungen bietet es eine hohe Ausgangsleistung, präzise Klangwiedergabe und gleichmäßige Abdeckung. Es baut auf dBTechnologies’ langjähriger Entwicklung im Bereich kompakter, skalierbarer Akustiklösungen auf – oder anders gesagt: Es liefert die Performance eines 3-Wege-Systems im Format eines klassischen 2-Wege-Doppel-8"-Arrays.

Das System verfügt über zwei 8-Zoll-Neodym-Tieftöner und einen koaxial aufgebauten Mittel-/Hochton-Treiber. Mit einer tief angesetzten Trennfrequenz bei 600 Hz ermöglicht das koaxiale MF/HF-Design eine präzise Mittenwiedergabe und nahtlose Übergänge im kritischen Sprachbereich. Der Treiber ist auf einem optimierten Waveguide montiert, der ein stabiles horizontales Abstrahlverhalten über den gesamten Hörbereich sicherstellt. Die seitlich abstrahlende Bassflex-Portgeometrie verbessert die interne Luftzirkulation und die akustische Belastung – für ein Tieftonverhalten, das das kompakte Gehäusevolumen deutlich übertrifft.

VIO L1608 wurde für die Anforderungen im professionellen Touring- und Installationsumfeld konzipiert. Technologische Merkmale des erfolgreichen VIO L1610 wurden für die kompaktere Dual-8"-Plattform adaptiert. Dazu zählen ein überarbeitetes 3-Punkt-Rigging-System für schnellen und sicheren Aufbau, erweiterter Wetterschutz sowie moderne Funktionen wie ein integrierter Inklinometer, opto-isolierte Vorverstärker, NFC-gestützte Positionierung und eine helle Front-LED zur schnellen Identifikation und Ausrichtung.

Erstmals kommt im VIO L1608 das A²Net-Protokoll serienmäßig zum Einsatz. Es ermöglicht hochauflösende digitale Audioübertragung und vollständige Systemsteuerung über Aurora Net. Innerhalb des VIO-Ökosystems ist das Modul vollständig kompatibel mit anderen Systemen wie VIO L1610 und L212 (ab Firmware 2.0), da Phasenverhalten, Latenz und Empfindlichkeit systemübergreifend abgestimmt sind. Das neue DRK-28-Rigging-Frame unterstützt sowohl geflogene als auch gestackte Setups und kann direkt auf dem Dolly transportiert werden – für effizientes Handling und reibungslose Logistik.

Mit seiner kompakten Bauform, der durchdachten akustischen Architektur und hoher Leistungsdichte stellt VIO L1608 eine konsequente Weiterentwicklung professioneller Line-Array-Systeme dar.

TECHNOLOGIES

380V resistant SMPSThe final amplifiers will be switched off in case of an undesired strike of 380V current, saving them from any damage. The auxiliary power supply - 380V tolerant - determines a safe range of operability for the man power supply.

A2NetThe A2Net protocol arises as a natural evolution of the well-known RDNet. A system designed to offer impeccable performance and unparalleled reliability, thanks to the ability to control all the parameters of dBTechnologies speakers and transport up to four channels of digital audio through just one cable.

Aurora NetThis product is fully-compatible with Aurora Net software

EASE FocusEASE Focus makes configuring a DVA or VIO system so much easier as this software simulates the system in the virtual realm. It can depict several audience target zones at the same time to map out more intricate venues including different coverage areas such as arenas, bleachers, and balconies. Color 2D graphics provide an easily understandable view of throw patterns and sound pressure levels so you can configure the array for the best possible results. It also offers you easy access to key rigging parameters such as the height of the rigging frame, the choice of pick points, the array’s bend, total weight, and system preset selections.

Expansion Card SlotThe preamplifier comes with a RDNet card installed. The user will be able to upgrade the system by replacing the RDNet card with an Audinate Dante card for audio over Ethernet and remote control on a single cable solution - sold separately.

Linear Phase FIR FiltersA low-latency sound processing featuring Linear Phase FIR filters allows cabinets to deliver an extremely coherent audio performance, standing out for its intelligibility and clarity from every listening position. This is also achieved by making the phase response as linear as possible, avoiding any distortion.

I.P.O.S.The lntelligent Power-On sequence circuit controls the sequence in which the main power supplies of all units within an array ramp up. As a result, each module is switched on in a different time frame, keeping the overall system’s inrush current low.

InclinometerInside every array of VIO series, you can find a sensor that allows you to check immediately the absolute inclination in degrees of flown speaker through Aurora Net software. This turns out to be very useful when you need to verify the correct installation of flown speakers.

Neodymium TransducersNeodymium is a metal belonging to the family of the “rare earth”, a particular material which creates a powerful magnetic field once charged. This material, used in acoustic transducers, possesses a far superior magnetic power compared to the classical ferrite which allows its dimensions to be reduced, favoring its weight and space capacity.

NFC and LEDNear Field Communication proximity sensors are used to determine the position of each box within an array. This technology, together with a hi-brightness LED bulb on the front of the enclosure, contributes to help the user to recognize and match each box with their position on the remote control software.

Opto-isolated PreampThe floating audio input design grants a digital optical isolation between earth ground from the mains and the audio ground flowing into the Preamplifier board.This galvanic isolation greatly improves resistance to interferences and any unwanted buzzing and noises.

PFC (Power Factor Corrector)The Power Factor Corrector greatly improves the efficiency of the system. Performances of the amplifier are very stable and consistent, regardless of the quality of the mains. This also grants a worldwide compatibility of the power supply - from 90V to 265V 50/60Hz - and limits power consumption.

Preset SystemThe opportunity of modifying the character and equalization of a speaker is a very important prerogative in adapting a speaker to multiple functions. The introduction of the Preset System enables to choose directly from the box the most adeguate equalization for the desired use, optimizing performances without the need of external processors. The management of phase, limiter and x-over will be modified automatically depending on the chosen set-up, preserving the internal acoustic equipment.

System TestA built-in measurement system can read the transducers impedance in real time and provide an instant feedback on the health of your system.This controls is performed constantly or it can be forced by the user at any time, remotely or from the amplifier panel.

USB Data PortThanks to this universal data port, the user will be able to perform firmware upgrades
