INTRODUCING
VIO SERIES
In the last 10 years, since DVA series’ launch on the pro
audio market, dBTechnologies has set new standards in the
sound reinforcement industry, bringing the benefits of line
array technology to a much wider range of users.
With the new VIO series dBTechnologies is ready to step
up to the next level, presenting a fully powered line array
and sub series intended for large sound reinforcement
applications.
Making the most of many years experience developing
powered speaker systems, alongside with innovative
solutions in acoustic design and digital sound processing,
dBTechnologies created a line array solution able to face
smoothly professional production requirements.
Freshly designed wooden cabinets, premium
components, last generation amplifying technology, as
well as an advanced DSP programming, come together
to deliver imposing sound pressure levels combined with
an outstanding control of dispersion and a detailed,
clear cut audio performance. In addition to that, all
the VIO systems can be remotely controlled via RDNet
protocol and, last but not least, the line array modules
features an integrated rigging system and dedicated
accessories in order to ensure simple and quick
configuration and set up operations.

As a result of many years’ experience developing solutions
for powered line array systems, VIO L210 reaches the next
level among dBTechnologies’ speaker range aimed at larger
sound reinforcement applications. The internal acoustic
design and sound processing developed by dBTechnologies’
R&D department merge to deliver outstanding performances
in terms of sound pressure, coverage coherence, intelligibility
and sound definition.

UNIQUE
ACOUSTIC DESIGN
Functional yet unobtrusive design
Made of solid multiplex plywood coated with a black polyurea f inish, the
housing is fronted with a black grille which complete a sober, unobtrusive
look which can easily adapt to any scenic design. The speaker ’s cabinet is
easy to tote thanks to its 4 handles, 1 per side and 2 on the back, and
its amplifier module is protected with an integrated black raincover.
Phase plug
Acoustic enclosure is completed by two massive aluminum phase
plugs located in front of both 10” woofers. Their external surface
is the prosecution of the constant directivity high-frequency
waveguide.
Each phase plug features 26 diamond-shaped holes essential to
reduce the interference between the two LF emission points and
to improve frequency and transient response.

Woofers
The two premium 10” neodymium transducers, positioned in a V form and sealed in a bass
reflex enclosure, have been custom-designed to improve efficiency. In facts, their voice coils,
made of copper plus aluminum coating, are designed to last even in the most demanding
conditions, providing an accurate transient response and an extended low-end reproduction.
Furthermore, these transducers have been specifically designed for the VIO in order to make
the most of the system.
High-frequency
One single 3” voice coil compression driver (1.4” exit throat) accurately delivers high
frequencies. A brand new waveguide contributes to create a cylindrical wavefront, allowing
a very precise high-frequency directivity control, much to the advantage of the system’s
throw-distance.
The crossover frequency between the 2 ways lows down to 950 Hz and each module
guarantees a uniform 100° hor izontal coverage.

ADVANCED DSP
Advanced DSP paired with notable efficiency
The module features a 900W RMS Class D Digipro G3 highly efficient
amplifier allowing the system to achieve up to 135 dB SPL. High
efficiency is a key feature of the VIO L210: it is actually possible to
connect up to 6 modules on a single 16A 230V circuit.
The amplifier also features an auto-range circuit and is fed via
PowerCON TRUE1 waterproof connectors.
A perfectly coherent coverage is granted even at a long distance
thanks to advanced sound processing with FIR filters.
The pre-amp module is also equipped with a digital optical isolation
on the signal input stage, which makes the system more resistant to
any interference.
On board EQ controls
VIO L210 features a double rotary user
interface to process the system manually.
The first rotary is dedicated to low
frequency adjustments in order to control
coupling effects depending on the array
dimensions. The second rotary helps to
compensate for the high frequencies loss
due to throw distance.
Both rotaries features several accurate
presets, while the prediction software
dBTechnologies Composer provides for
more precise configurations. Any preset
can be easily changed remotely via
dBTechnologies Network.

compensation presets
Depending on the dimension
of the array, the coupling
effect affects frequency
response. This dedicated
“speaker coupling” control
allows the user to attenuate
the mid-low frequency
according to the total number
of line array cabinets.
Being a considerable longthrow system, VIO L210 is
capable to provide incredibly
flat response all over the target
area also thanks to the high
frequencies compensation
control. Choosing among
the different presets, allows
the user to compensate high
frequencies loss due to air
absorption in each cabinet.
