dBTechnologies VIO X300 Series: 3-Way, Tri-Amped Point Source Speakers
Introducing the VIO X300 series, the evolution of the VIO X premium line: powerful, tour-grade, three-way tri-amped point source speakers for public address in large venues.
The MF-HF coaxial component mounted in both VIO X310 and VIO X315 utilise the same transducer used in the VIO L1610 line array module: it's a 4” voice coil plus 2.5” voice coil coaxial driver, an heavy-duty and high-fidelity transducer reproducing from 500Hz up.
When it comes down to detailed mid-range reproduction, a compression driver diaphragm is much quicker and more accurate than a similar sized woofer. Furthermore, because of the compact dimensions, this content can be easily dispersed through a horn, just like you would do with an HF driver, for improved control over the sonic pattern.
These characteristics result in an incredibly faithful and meticulous reproduction of the most critical frequency range, essential for clear-cut intelligible vocals and instrument separation in your mix.
Since a great portion of the frequency content is horn loaded, not only is the sound pressure level impressive due to the acoustic loading, but also directivity control is maximised.
Last but not least, the sum of all these acoustic design choices combined with cutting edge class-D amplifiers and DSP processing result in remarkable sound pressure levels, as high as 137dB.
The two speakers share the same coaxial MF-HF transducer but differ in size due to the different components handling the low-end reproduction.
VIO X310 is equipped with 2x 10" neodymium woofers in a dipole configuration, so the speaker benefits from all the advantages of this arrangement such as a very prominent directivity control for low-mids and a precise, fast, and extended response of the bottom end.
The Coaxial mid-high frequency compression driver is mounted behind a 90° by 40° rotatable horn, and all the components are arranged around the centre of this point source, resulting in a symmetrical dispersion.
VIO X315 is equipped with a single high performance 15" neodymium woofer, capable of providing loud, precise, wide band performances, with no compromises.
The goal was to develop a real full-range PA system, with an astounding wide frequency response, reaching as low as 37Hz.
In this model, the mid-hi coaxial transducer is placed behind a 90°x50° horn which has been designed with a slight tilt downwards (around 5°) to optimise the coverage in average venues.
VIO X300 makes the most of the acoustic design, delivering an astounding SPL and allowing for full bandwidth capabilities.
All of the above great advantages come with the ease of use of any other conventional active point source speaker.
Thanks to specific brackets and M10 threads, VIO X300 series can be utilised as fills in larger setups, such as a full range under balcony or delay system in fixed installations. Equally VIO X300 can be deployed as a compact, complete standalone 3-way system for any audience.
Lastly, VIO X300 can cover large, open air sound reinforcement setups, serving as high SPL fills, or powerful standalone PAs for the most demanding applications.
