CROSSOVERS
Throughout the VariLine series,
only selected components of the
highest quality are used.
These include not only the cross-
overs and signal processors but
also DYNACORD‘s innovative pro-
tective circuits: the individual loud-
speaker components are safeguar-
ded from thermal overload by the
all-electronic Voice Coil Tracking
Protection system as well as halogen
protectors. VariLine loudspeakers
can therefore be driven by extre-
mely powerful amplifiers to obtain
the widest possible dynamic range
without their voice coils sustaining
damage – even when operating
errors occur. Furthermore, any
thermal overload triggers a ‚soft‘
power reduction, free from the dis-
tracting switching noise that is the
bugbear of conventional protective
circuits. The 12“ and 15“ models
offer the additional option of swit-
ching to active two-way operation.
HORNS
The large-format VariLine
constant directivity HF horns have
been optimized using advanced
CAD software and can be rotated
through 90° for horizontal applica-
tions.
As well as exemplarily low distortion,
these horns are remarkable for the
very low frequencies at which they
retain their directivity. The smaller
enclosures are equipped with
Electro-Voice DH3 titanium domes,
whilst the VL 122 and larger
models feature Electro-Voice ND6
neodymium drivers with 3“ voice
coils and 1.4“ exits. These advan-
tageous horn / driver configura-
tions provide crisp and powerful
high-resolution HF reproduction.
CONSTRUCTION
VariLine enclosures are made
from extremely rugged, multiply
birch with a dual-component
finish sufficiently resilient to
withstand the roughest of handling
on the road and on stage.
The front is protected by a sturdy
powder-coated steel grille lined
with high quality acoustic foam.
The logo can be rotated through
90° and therefore looks right whether
the enclosures are mounted verti-
cally or horizontally. The 12“ and
15“ enclosures are asymmetric,
which not only optimizes them for
fl oor monitoring but also facilitates
the creation of clusters.
