Introduction
Thank you for choosing a high-quality product “MADE IN GERMANY” from TW AUDiO.
The intrinsic qualities of the VERA36 speak for themselves with no fewer than six drivers
working within the compact confines of the enclosure. The central mid-range horn is driven
by two 8“ cone speakers while the mid-high frequency unit comprises two 1.4“ compression
drivers plus a purpose-developed waveguide, coaxially positioned in the center. The result is
a vertical dispersion of 10 degrees with horizontal dispersion across either 80 or 120 degrees
as required. Supplementing the low-mid range are two 10“ long excursion bass speakers.
Below 400 Hz, all four cone speakers work in tandem to deliver vast reserves of low-mid
punch. All of that leading to our user‘s experience that VERA36 can compete with much
bigger double 12“ systems and more besides.
But for a contemporary loudspeaker system to achieve real success, impressive performance
alone just isn‘t enough. Today, systems must be easy to operate, quick to rig and simple to
transport, and in all of these areas VERA36 excels. Setup times are dramatically reduced
cortesy of a newly developed, fully integrated, three-point rigging system incorporating an
innovative mechanism with logarithmically stepped splay angles, enabling optimal array curving and precise directional targeting.
The combination of TW AUDiO‘s deep expertise and the precision of the VERA36 hardware
equals coverage right to the back rows of even a large venue. No matter whether you fly the
system straight from the dolly, rig from the floor or build as a ground-stack, every variation is
swiftly and safely achievable. Having the same width as the VERA S33 and equipped with the
same rigging, VERA S33 subwoofers can easily and unobtrusively be integrated into VERA36
arrays.

WARNING
NOTE
NOTE
Please adhere to the following safety instructions to avoid risks when operating loudspeakers.
The VERA36 loudspeaker was developed for use in professional sound systems. The loudspeaker may only be used by trained and qualified personnel.
Note the operating modes described in this operating manual. Other uses are not permissible.
Damage caused by improper use is not covered by TW AUDiO.
Loudspeakers generate an electromagnetic field. Persons with pacemakers are not permitted to remain in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers as the electromagnetic fields can
cause pacemakers to malfunction.
When working with heavy loads exceeding 20 kg (44 lbs.), use suitable aids (dollies, hoisting
slings, etc.). Multiple persons may be required depending on the situation.
Operation manual VERA36
Ensure that the units are in a stable position and are firmly attached. A falling loudspeaker can
result in serious personal injury and property damage.
When using and assembling TW AUDiO loudspeakers, only use materials specified by
TW AUDiO. These tasks must be performed by qualified personnel. Adhere to the applicable
safety regulations.
When setting up loudspeakers, ensure that they are not exposed to the following ambient
conditions:
• Direct sunlight
• Humidity
• Jolting
• Dust
Keep away from the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers that are operated at high sound pres
sure levels. These loudspeaker systems are capable of endangering your health. Sound levels
beginning as low as approximately 90 dB SPL can lead to long-term hearing impairment.
Avoid:
-
• Feedback
• Distorted signals (clipping) and
• Peaks resulting from switching on devices, plugging in devices or unplugging devices during
operation.
Such signals can lead to loudspeaker overload and ultimately to loudspeaker failure.

WARNING
NOTE
NOTE
Ensure that the loudspeaker is not exposed to permanent thermal overloads. Thermal overloads may cause a fire and result in serious personal injury and property damage.
Note that TW AUDiO does not provide a warranty for damage that can be attributed to this
type of overload and therefore cannot be held liable for any secondary damage.
A permanent magnetic field is present in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers. Ensure that
objects which react sensitively to magnetic fields are not located in the immediate vicinity of
the loudspeaker. In particular, this applies to magnetic storage media, magnetic stripe cards
such as debit cards and CRT displays. A distance of approximately one meter is sufficient to
avoid damage.
Check loudspeakers and accessory parts regularly for visible wear. This is essential to ensure
continuing fault-free operation. Worn parts should be replaced immediately. Spare parts are
available from TW AUDiO.
