Philosophy
Professional sound reinforcement requires maximum perfomance and high sound pressure levels for a wide variety of
touring and installation applications. Universal loudspeaker
functionality is therefore most important to meet the ever
changing demands without effort.
Both acoustically and mechanically, VariLine enclosures have
been uncompromisingly designed and optimized for multifunctional application. Innovative circuits provide maximum
reliability and protection of all loudspeaker components.
Engineered & made in Germany. VariLine loudspeakers feature premium components only: lightweight high power neodymium transducers, rotable CAD optimized CD horns, all-electronic protection circuits and passive true-phase crossovers
provide outstanding reliability and linear reproduction even in
highly critical applications. Comprehensive mounting and
rigging accessories facilitate professional handling and secure,
easy installation of VariLine loudspeakers. Visually attractive
yet low-key, these enclosures are highly recommended for
demanding ambiences.
Cabinet Design
VariLine enclosures are made from extremely rugged multiply birch
wood and two-pot finished to withstand touring and handling stress.
The front is protected by a sturdy powder-coated steel grille lined with
high quality acoustic foam and, the company logo is 90° rotatable for
horizontal use. 12“ and 15“ models feature asymmetric enclosures to
facilitate the use as floor monitors and cluster arrangement.
Transducer
VariLine loudspeakers are equipped with extremely low-distortion
state-of-the-art drivers only to provide linear response, wide dynamic
range and high power handling. The 6“, 12“ and 15“ transducers feature neodymium magnets significantly contributing to the light weight
of VariLine enclosures.
Horn
The large format VariLine constant directivity HF horns have been
optimized with advanced CAD software resulting in exemplary low distortion and directivity way down beyond the MB range. For horizontal
applications, they are rotatable by 90°. The smaller enclosures are
equipped with Electro-Voice DH3 titanium dome drivers, the VL 122
and larger models feature Electro-Voice ND6 neodymium drivers with
3“ voice coils and 1.4“ exits. These advantageous horn/driver configurations provide crisp and powerful high-resolution HF reproduction.
Crossover
VariLine crossovers use selected high-quality components only for
signal processing and the innovative DYNACORD protection circuits:
the all-electronic VOICE COIL TRACKING PROTECTION and halogen protectors prevent thermal overload. For maximum dynamics,
VariLine loudspeakers can be driven by extremely powerful amplifiers
without voice coil damage - even when operating errors occur.
Thermal overload triggers a 'soft' power reduction without the
switching noise of conventional protection circuits. Additionally, 12“
and 15“ models feature selectable bi-amp operation .
Drive
With DYNACORD PowerH amplifiers and IRIS-Net, VariLine systems
can be networked providing comprehensive remote control and permanent supervision. Fully configured presets are available for a variety of system setups containing loudspeaker monitoring and linear
phase FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filtering while others presets
provide FIR floor monitor optimizing. Even very large systems require
one mouse click only for impedance sweep measuring and loudspeaker
connection testing.
Of course, IRIS-Net-controlled systems are also user-configurable.
Presets are available for conventional digital controllers as well and,
EASE and Ulysses data files facilitate demanding simulations quickly
and precisely.
Flying brackets
Flying brackets are optional accessories for precise loudspeaker
aiming at the listening areas. In installation applications, the bracket
can be equipped with truss clamps for flying while an adapter enables
stand mounting. A TV spigot enables easy changing from truss to
stand mounting while additional adapters provide maximum flexibility
for a comprehensive range of applications (see pp. 15).
Installation hardware
A wide range of installation hardware is available for VariLine fullrange cabinets providing classic three-point eyebolt flying, wall or ceiling
bracket mounting and, even more convenient, three-level adjustable
mounting (see pp. 15).
