dBTechnologies VIO S115 – Professional 15-inch active subwoofer

Compact power with professional VIO performance

The dBTechnologies VIO S115 is a professional active 15-inch subwoofer specifically developed for compact yet powerful PA systems. The S115 combines a powerful 15-inch neodymium woofer with integrated Class-D amplification, advanced DSP, and professional system control.

Thanks to its compact size, the VIO S115 is ideal for applications where you want plenty of low end and high SPL, but a large 18-inch subwoofer is not practical.

The S115 is an excellent match for mobile PA systems, live bands, DJs, events, and professional rental.

15-inch neodymium woofer

The VIO S115 features:

1 × 15-inch neodymium woofer

The woofer is designed for a combination of:

• Deep low-end reproduction
• Tight kick
• High efficiency
• Low distortion
• High dynamics

A 15-inch subwoofer is also interesting when portability and size are important factors.

Professional VIO technology

The S115 is part of the professional VIO platform by dBTechnologies.

This means the subwoofer is developed to be integrated into professional PA systems.

For example, you can combine it with:

VIO tops

VIO S115

digital mixer

RDNet

This creates a compact yet professional system.

Powerful integrated amplifier

The VIO S115 features integrated Class-D amplification.

Because the amplifier and DSP are built into the subwoofer, no external power amplifier is required.

This makes the S115 ideal for:

• Mobile PA
• DJs
• Bands
• Events
• Rental
• Installations

Advanced DSP

As expected from the VIO series, the S115 features professional DSP.

The digital processing provides, among other things:

• Crossover
• Peak limiting
• RMS limiting
• Thermal protection
• Delay
• Polarity control
• System optimization

This allows the subwoofer to remain controlled even under heavy loads.

RDNet system control

A key advantage of professional VIO systems is RDNet.

With RDNet, multiple VIO components can be centrally controlled and monitored.

The technician can, for example:

• Adjust levels
• Set EQ
• Set delay
• Select presets
• Check limiting
• Monitor temperatures
• View system status

This is particularly useful for rental and larger events.

Aurora Net

The VIO S115 can be included in the professional dBTechnologies system environment.

Via Aurora Net, a complete system can be managed centrally.

For example:

This allows the technician to control the system from one central position.

S115 for DJs

For a DJ, a good subwoofer often makes the difference between a standard PA and a system that truly impresses.

The VIO S115 provides extra:

punch

body

depth

and

impact.

Due to its relatively compact size, it is ideal for mobile DJs who want serious low end without hauling massive sub cabinets.

S115 for live bands

The S115 can also be a great addition for bands.

The subwoofer can support the low frequencies of:

• Kick drum
• Bass guitar
• Synthesizers
• Electronic drums
• Samples

support.

This gives the tops more headroom for vocals, guitars, keys, and other mid-frequencies.

S115 for events

The VIO S115 is also ideal for:

• Corporate events
• Presentations
• Parties
• Hospitality
• Small concerts
• Theater
• DJ shows

When you need a compact professional system, the 15-inch configuration can offer an excellent balance between output and portability.

Compact yet professional

The main advantage of a 15-inch subwoofer is, of course, its size.

An S115 is easier to transport and position than a large dual 18-inch subwoofer.

This makes it ideal for users who regularly:

set up → play → tear down → transport

VIO S115 for rental

Flexibility is key for rental companies.

A compact 15-inch VIO subwoofer can be deployed for various productions.

For example:

1 × S115
for a compact production

or:

2 × S115
for more output and a larger PA.

Thanks to professional system control, the S115 can also be integrated into larger VIO systems.

S115 versus S118R

In short:

S115 = compact and powerful.

S118R = larger with more low-end reserve.
