Architectural specifications
The loudspeaker shall be a passive two-way system consisting of one high power 12” (304.8 mm), direct radiating, reflex loaded, low frequency (LF) transducer and 1” (25 mm) diameter composite plastic exit, high frequency (HF) compression driver mounted on a user rotatable asymmetrical horn in a trapezoidal enclosure fitted with a wrap around grille and rotatable badge.
Power handling shall be 400 W AES at a nominal impedance of 8 Ω . Crossover point shall be at 2.1 kHz using a 3rd order filter (18 dB per octave). The wiring connection shall be as follows: a removable, lockable wiring connector with four screw-down terminals (one pair for input and one pair for link through to another loudspeaker) to provide secure wiring and allow for pre-wiring of the connector before the installation (this connector should then screw lock to the enclosure for secure attachment). In addition, a Neutrik speakON™
NL4 shall also feature.
Performance specifications for a typical production unit shall be as follows: the usable on-axis bandwidth shall be 60 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB) and shall average 90° to 60° directivity pattern on the horizontal axis and 60° on the vertical one (-6 dB down from on-axis level) from 1 kHz to 12 kHz; and a maximum SPL of 127 dB peak measured at 1 m using IEC268-5 pink noise.
The high frequency transducer shall project it’s sound through an asymmetrical horn with a 152 mm
(6”) baffle diameter to achieve pattern control and low distortion. The low frequency transducer shall be constructed on a cast aluminium frame, with a treated paper cone, 50.8 mm (2”) voice coil, wound with copper wires on a high quality Kapton voice coil former, for high power handling and long-term reliability.
The enclosure shall be of a trapezoidal shape constructed from a 15 mm multi-laminate birch plywood, with a textured polyurethane finish and shall include integral threaded inserts for the fitment of wall and ceiling mounting hardware as well as removable cover plate for fixing an optional M20 top-hat. External dimensions of (W) 370 mm x (H) 522 mm x (D) 340 mm
(14.6” x 20.6” x 13.4”). Weight shall be 22 kg (48.5 lbs).
The loudspeaker shall be the Void Acoustics Venu 12 V2.
