INTRODUCTION TO THE VRX932LA The VRX932LA is a two-way , line-array loudspeaker system intended for use in arrays of up to six enclosures. Three high-frequency drivers are mounted to the Constant Curvature waveguide which is designed so that multiple enclosures may be arrayed with no discontinuity in the vertical coverage pattern. As a result, the [...]

AMPLITUDE SHADING Amplitude Shading Amplitude shading is a technique that allows the coverage pattern of a loudspeaker array to be shaped by adjusting the relative acoustic output of some of the devices in the array . Most often, array shading involves only the mid and high-frequency sections of the array . In a simple system consisting of three VR[...]

Bi-Amplified System In a bi-amplified system, array shading is accomplished by connecting separate amplifier channels to the HF section of each VRX932LA/VRX928LA. In larger arrays, a single amplifier channel may be used for two adjacent loudspeakers. Array shading is then accomplished by adjusting the gain of the HF amplifier channels. For extremel[...]

DEPLO YING THE SY STEM The VRX932LA/VRX928LA are flexible speaker systems that can be deployed in ground-supported or suspended applications. The following information will help you set up your VRX932LA/VRX928LA system safely and effectively . POLE AND TRIPOD SAFETY WARNINGS! When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the following precautions:[...]

Dual VRX932LA/VRX928LA Unlike most conventional speakers, the VRX932LA/VRX928LA is designed so that a pair of speakers may be safely mounted onto a pole or tripod stand. For most applications, the forward socket of the dual angle pole socket will be used. This will tilt the lower of the two speakers at a 15° down-angle (providing coverage of the n[...]

Correct use of all rigging hardware is required for secure system suspension. Careful calculations should always be performed to ensure that all components are used within their Maximum Load Limit before the array is suspended. Never exceed the maximum recommended load ratings. Prior to suspending the system, an expert, trained and experienced in f[...]

Maximum Array Size There are three variations of the VRX array frame. The VRX-AF supersedes the VRX932AF-LA. The VRX-SMAF is solely intended for use with the VRX928LA and VRX915S. Before suspending a VRX array , determine which version of the array frame you have and consult the table below to determine the maximum number of speakers that may be sa[...]

Ground-Stacked, Upward Firing Arrays Applications such as covering stadium bleachers from the playing field may be addressed by installing the VRX932LA-AF/ VRX-AF/ VRX-SMAF array frame to the bottom of the array . Up to four VRX932LA/VRX928LA loudspeakers may be locked together and ground stacked using the VRX array frame kit, as shown. [W arning: [...]
