dBTechnologies VIO L1610 3-Way Powered Line Array Speaker

Astonishing sound pressure in one of the most compact VIO line array systems. The VIO L1610 is a self-powered line array system that combines advances of VIO technology with an enhanced versatility.

VIO L1610 is a three-way active line array system, entirely equipped with neodymium components: 2x10" woofers (2.5” v.c.), providing an extended LF reproduction, interact with a coaxial neodymium component (4” MF plus a 2,5” v.c. HF compression driver) mounted on an exclusively designed waveguide. This unique coaxial symmetric acoustic design results into the most accurate transient reproduction, which enables VIO L1610 to deliver the most detailed and homogeneous audio performance. In fact, the coaxial component not only allows an extended low end reproduction of the MF, but guarantees a perfect off-axis coherence alongside with all the benefits coming from woofers' direct radiation, much to the advantage of the system’s headroom.

Just like any member of VIO family, VIO L1610 has been designed keeping in mind complete compatibility among VIO systems. Although its remarkable audio performance makes VIO L1610 a powerful yet compact main PA system, both its acoustic and mechanical design makes it the perfect downfill for large VIO L212 systems.TF-VIO2 adaptor allows to easily rig VIO L1610 modules under a VIO L212 array.

VIO L1610's amp module Digipro G4 comes with a modular slot for expansion cards: as a default, VIO L1610 is equipped with dBTechnologies RD-Net card for real time remote control via Aurora Net software. Nevertheless, the system is ready for upgrades with Audinate Dante™ protocol for digital audio stream as well as well as real time control purposes. As a support for networking purposes, each VIO L1610 cabinet is equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC™) system and a frontal LED used to recognize each single module within the remote control software Aurora Net.

Each VIO L1610 acoustic engine is driven by a Digipro G4® Class-D amplifier module featuring 1600 W RMS along with the utmost acquisitions in dBT’s amp technology. The system takes advantage of a one-of-a-kind low latency processing resulting from its powerful DSP featuring linear phase FIR filters. On-board controls (2 rotary encoders) allows DSP presets for Speaker Coupling and High Frequencies compensation. The amp also allows users to run a test on electronics and transducers before, during and after use: the most useful system test ensuring real time control over the entire PA’s health and tour-grade reliability.

VIO L1610 comes with VIO series’ peculiar 3-point rigging system allowing a smooth and fast set up of the system. The 2 front links easily connect the modules.The back central rigging strand is equipped with a ring type link allowing user to set the relative splay angles ranging from 1° to 10° thanks to 1 single pin. Splay angles can be set directly in the dedicated transport cart DT-VIOL210L which houses 4 modules. While lifting up the array, the rigging strand will automatically block the preset angles with no heavy lifting required. The flying frame DRK-210 allows smooth flying operations and system lifting.
