Multifunctional Speaker Line

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.
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).

VL 262
VL 62 and VL 262
The models VL 62 and VL262 are very compact 2-way full­range high power cabinets for a wide variety of mobile and installation applications. High sensitivity (94dB/97dB @ 1W/1m) and power handling makes them stand out in their class.
Extremely low distortion DND 6130-16 neodymium drivers handle lows and mids while a 90° x 40° HPT94 constant direc­tivity horn radiates the highs. It is driven by the brilliantly c lean
Electro-Voice DH3 and easily 90° rotatable for horizontal applications. Recessed SPEAKON connectors enable posi­tioning close to walls, and two lateral M10 inserts are provid­ed for mounting the FB... pivot bracket. MB and MB UMH brackets can be attached to the top or bottom via M10 inserts while four M6 inserts are provided on the back for other wall mount brackets. A rugged, water-repellent cover is available as accessory.

VL 122, VL 152 and VL 212
The 12“ and 15“ VariLine models are high power 2-way cabinets exclusively equipped with high-quality neodymium compo­nents. These lightweight champs feature impressively high power handling for superior sound pressure levels.
Large format HF horns coupled to Electro-Voice ND6 drivers provide balanced directivity well below the crossover frequency and clear, detailed HF reproduction. In horizontal applications –
VL 122
especially when used as monitor and in high-quality installa­tions – mid and high frequency radiation can be optimized by horn rotation. The 12“ and 15“ models are switchable from full­range mode to bi-amp operation. Their asymmetrical enclo­sure design is ideal for floor monitor use and cluster arrange­ments.
For the range of mounting and flying hardware refer to page 15.

SUB 18 and SUB 28
The vented SUB 18 and SUB 28 direct radiators have been designed for subwoofer use in active multiway systems. The superior transient response of the classic bass reflex construc­tion is also well suited for medium to large bass arrays.
The premium 700W RMS long excursion woofers feature extre­mely low THD, and the reliable, all-electronic Voice Coil Tracking Protection prevents thermal overload of the 100mm sandwich voice coils.
For maximum dynamics, the SUB models can be driven b y extremely powerful amplifiers; thermal overload triggers a v ir ­tually inaudible 'soft' power reduction. The 18mm multiply birch wood enclosures feature a rugged two-pot structured finish.
SUB 18
The woofers are damage and weather protected by a sturdy powder-coated steel grille lined with high quality acoustic foam. Wheel kits with four 100mm factory assembled 'Blue Wheels' are optionally available. These are mounted to the back to provide easy and convenient transport .
The SUB 28 is switchable from 1 x 4 ohms to 2 x 8 ohms mode where woofer Ais connected to the Speakon pins 1+/1- and B to pins 2+/2-.
When driven by DYNACORD CL, LX or Power-H series ampli­fiers a single 4-conductor loudspeaker cable is required to feed both woofers from amplifier channel A (channel B out­put is also present at channel Apins 2+/2- ).
