Operation manual VERA20

Introduction

Thank you for choosing a high-quality product “MADE IN GERMANY” from TW AUDiO.

The VERA20 loudspeaker is equipped with two 10” chassis for the low-mid frequencies and a waveguide with a 1.4” mid-high compression driver. Compared with typical double 8” systems, the VERA20‘s two 10” drivers are capable of reproducing up to 6 dB more output in the low-mid frequency range with lower distortion.

Thanks to the loudspeaker’s width (only 60 cm / 23.62 inches) and height (28 cm /

11.02 inches), vertical arrays of up to 24 elements may be constructed.

The newly developed 1.4” compression driver and waveguide provides smooth and accurate midrange performance for natural vocal and music reproduction. The low frequency crossover point around 1 kHz guarantees precise and uniform coverage even in the sensitive transition range. The extraordinarily fast transient response ensures that high frequency reproduction is detailed and crisp.

The VERA20 implements an outstandingly innovative rigging hardware, allowing straightforward, fast and cost-efficient setup and dismounting by just one technician. A special feature is logarithmic scaling of the intermediate angles between angles. This allows for angle adjustment of less than one degree to achieve more accurate directivity of upper array elements over longer distances.
