Description
It’s here! The new addition to the VIO series: the L 212 Line array module!
The dBTechnologies VIO-L212 is a full-scale line array module designed for large touring sound reinforcement applications, offering both powerful output capacity and optimized coverage behavior. dBTechnologies has managed to pack incredible sound pressure levels into one of the most compact and lightweight active 2 × 12” line array systems. 2 × 12” neodymium woofers (3” v.c.) are positioned on the outside in a dipolar arrangement for precise transient response and extended, controlled low-end reproduction. The midrange section is mounted in the center of the cabinet in a horn-loaded configuration, significantly contributing to the system’s acoustic efficiency. Midrange frequencies are delivered by 4x 6.5” neodymium woofers (2” voice coil). The 2x 1.4” neodymium compression drivers (3” voice coil) are mounted on a waveguide that helps create a cylindrical wavefront, greatly benefiting system intelligibility and throw capabilities. Each dBTechnologies VIO-L212 acoustic engine is powered by two Digipro G4® Class-D 1600W amplifiers, providing a total of 3200W RMS per system. The switch-mode power supply is equipped with PFC (Power Factor Corrector), which significantly improves system efficiency. Amplifier performance is highly stable and consistent, regardless of mains quality and fluctuations. This also provides worldwide power supply compatibility (from 100V to 240V 50/60Hz) and limits power consumption. Furthermore, the power supply is 380V-resistant, ensuring the amplifiers shut down in the event of an accidental 380V connection, protecting them from damage. The amplifier allows users to perform a system test on electronics and transducers before and after use, along with real-time impedance monitoring. The preamplifier’s floating audio input design provides digital optical isolation between the mains ground and the audio ground flowing into the preamp board. This galvanic isolation significantly improves resistance to interference and unwanted hum and noise. Firmware upgrades and diagnostic analyses can be performed via the USB port by downloading telemetry data on system performance and failures. An exclusive technology of the VIO L212 amplifier is IPOS (Intelligent Power-On Sequence), a circuit that controls the sequence in which the main power supplies of all units within an array power up. As a result, each module powers up at a different time, keeping the overall system’s inrush current low, even in very large PA system deployments.
