PL+S: dBTechnologies focus on three-way array
- Details
The main focus will be a double demo of the active line array VIO L212 at the Live Sound Arena of the Frankfurt Messe complex, with a system composed of 10 VIO L212 per side completed by 16 active subwoofers VIO S218 and 2 VIO X205 as front fills.
VIO L212 is also being showcased at dBTechnologies booth, where every day the product specialist team shows visitors how the system can be set up and rigged in just a few minutes thanks to the special 3-point rigging system and dedicated accessories.
Among the 2019 previews presented in Frankfurt by the Italian manufacturer, the new VIO X205 active system condenses the detailed and powerful sound characteristic of the VIO X point source series into an ultra-performing cabinet with reduced dimensions (150x485x240mm, for only 7.8 kg) that is well suited to different applications: as a small full range system, FOH monitor, fixed installations, or front fill in medium and large size sound reinforcement systems.
VIO X205 is a 2-way system equipped with premium components (2x5 "LF and 1x1 "HF) and Digipro G3 400W RMS amplifier module. Like all other members of the VIO X family, the small 205 allows full remote control via RDNet communications and Aurora Net control software. The cabinet is available in two different models featuring a different acoustic design that ensures coverage of 60°X60° (for VIO X205-60) or 100°x100° (for VIO X205-100).
Another new addition to the VIO professional systems family is VIO W10 active wedge, featuring an ultra-flat design (just 16.5 cm high) and a variable acoustic focus via on-board pre-sets.
PL+S is offering a sneak preview of the upcoming DEM30 in-ear-monitor system and the RW16 wireless microphone system, available later this year.
