2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat source such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other such apparatus that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type
plug. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect power cords from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit the apparatus.
11. Onlyuseattachmentsandaccessoriesspecifiedby Void

12. Only use with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a
cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplugtheapparatusduringlightningstormsorwhenunused
forlongperiodsoftime.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Since the mains power supply cord attachment plug is used
to disconnect the device, the plug should always be easily
accessible.
16. Void loudspeakers can produce sound levels capable
of causing permanent hearing damage from prolonged
exposure. The higher the sound level, the less exposure
needed to cause such damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to
the high sound levels from the loudspeaker.

6 System design
6.1 System design principles
Venu V2 loudspeakers can be arrayed as a single pair facing forward to provide a wide stereo image.
Figure 6.1: Venu V2 Series loudspeakers single pair arrangement
For applications requiring wide horizontal coverage, use two Venu V2 Series loudspeakers in
pairs, angled at about 40°.
40° 40°
Figure 6.2: Venu V2 Series loudspeaker dual pair arrangement
40° 40°
For permanent installation, it is recommended to fly Venu V2 loudspeakers for more even
coverage. This also allows co-located low frequency enclosures in a single block, increasing
sensitivity and providing more consistent bass coverage.
Figure 6.3: Venu V2 ceiling mounting
Venu V2 Series User Guide V1.0 Page 13
6 System design
6.2 High frequency loudspeaker placement and positioning
When deploying Venu V2 loudspeakers, it is important to
consider the speakers’ vertical position to maximise coverage
in the vertical axis. Horizontal loudspeaker dispersion figures
dictate the coverage of the loudspeaker, left to right, to the
-3 dB points. The same can be said for the vertical dispersion
figure, but when applied to a listening area, this figure dictates
the audience area coverage front to back.
Figure 6.4a: Vertical dispersion (side view)
Vertical dispersion is often overlooked or not assessed
properly, resulting in ineciently deployed loudspeaker
systems that require more fill loudspeakers than are necessary
to achieve required coverage. Following are some basic
guidelines when considering the vertical position of your Venu
V2 loudspeaker.
With optimum vertical positioning and aiming applied the
Figure 6.4b: Horizontal dispersion (top view)
loudspeaker system can be used at maximum eciency. With
a point source loudspeaker in this configuration the speaker
is placed 2m-4m from the ground, aimed half way to two thirds of the way back from the
audience area, as shown in figure 6.5. The applied aiming reduces unwanted reflections from
the ceiling and directs the highest energy concentration to the audience area requiring it most.
This is the most desirable position for the loudspeakers in this example.
Figure 6.5: Correct loudspeaker placement
Venu V2 Series User Guide V1.0 Page 14
6 System design
A multi-point loudspeaker system in a club/bar environment can be very pleasing for the
listener. However, it’s important that the processes applied to previous examples are still
implemented. In figure 6.6 you can see the loudspeakers have been positioned and aimed
optimally. When deploying a multi-point loudspeaker system, extra consideration must be
taken to counter unwanted room eects. Careful positioning and aiming of loudspeakers will
minimise room eects, while maintaining even coverage throughout the audience area.
Figure 6.6: Multi point loudspeaker arrangement
In the horizontal plane rotate the Venu V2 Series loudspeakers toward the audience area at
an angle such that the centre line of the dispersion from each loudspeaker meets about two
thirds of the way towards the rear of the audience area. This will help provide a wider coverage
and result in more of the power being used eciently.
Audience
Stage
Figure 6.7: Correct horizontal dispersion
Venu V2 Series User Guide V1.0 Page 15
6 System design
Avoid directing the Venu V2 Series loudspeaker straight forward. This will result in a proportion of
the power being directed towards the walls, creating possible reflective issues, as well as causing
a gap in coverage at the centre of the audience area.
Audience
Stage
Figure 6.8: Incorrect horizontal dispersion
In figure 6.9 the loudspeakers vertical positioning is too low for the audience area. Mid
and high range frequencies are absorbed by the first two rows of people, resulting in poor
coverage and potential acoustic issues from room reflections.
Figure 6.9: Incorrect loudspeaker placement
Figure 6.10 shows the loudspeaker vertical position is optimal for the audience area but the
user hasn’t applied an aiming angle. In this case, a large portion of energy is directed at the
ceiling that could result in reduced intelligibility and unwanted room acoustic characteristics.
The shallow angle of attack will also induce refraction issues on a hot dance floor, leading to
reduced HF penetration at mid and far distances, again reducing intelligibility and coherence.

6.3 Typical operating modes for low frequency enclosures
Although the modes of arrangement shown here are typical operating modes for low
frequency enclosures, the Venu V2 Series low frequency enclosures design lends itself to wide
range of configurations. Simple planer arrays and stacks to directional and steerable arrays are
possible given suitable electronics and presets. Contact your local Void distributor/dealer for
more information.

6.4 Bass alignment - delay times
Note: All information given here is a guide and not a rule. Taking measurement on
site and using your ear are still the most reliable way to achieve the best results.
When designing loudspeakers and low frequency
enclosures layout within a space it is often
necessary to apply delay to optimise system
performance. In figure 6.12 we have a room
with four Venu V2 loudspeakers and single low
frequency enclosure.
All four loudspeakers sit on a circle of radius R
with its centre point at O. The low frequency
enclosure is situated at a distance A from the
origin and a distance B from the circumference
of the circle. The distance B will determine the
delay required for the low frequency enclosure
of 2.9 ms per metre. So, in this example, if the
distance B is 2 m the a delay of 5.8 ms would be
required.
Figure 6.12: Bass alignment example 1
B
R
A
O
Figure 6.13: Bass alignment example 1
Figure 6.14 shows a second low frequency
enclosure added. Here we are looking to create
a secondary focal point at E. To calculate our
delay time we take distance D, which is point
E to the south edge of the circle, away from A,
A
which is E to the north edge of the circle, and
multiply by the delay time per metre. Or:
E
(A - D) x 2.9 ms/m = delay time.

6.5 Asymmetrical waveguide orientation
Due to the asymmetrical nature of the high frequency waveguide it must be orientated
correctly. The narrow end of the waveguide creates the wider dispersion and should always be
facing down as shown in the figure below.
