The digital system unit VSS 15
The fully digital system unit VSS 15 with integrated 15“ subwoofer has been
consequently developed to portable requirements. With a powerful bass base and very
compact dimensions as well as the lightweight of 26 kg the VSS 15 is also the core and
control center within the self-powered PA-systems SD 3, SD 4 and SD 5.
Inside work a digital 24 Bit signal processor and three powerful class D amplifiers with an
unsophisticated, crystal-clear sound quality (without conversion losses due to full digital
preamping). The analogue input signal is digitalized directly inside the input amplifier
using an intelligent 24 Bit AD-converter and remains consequently digital to the class D
amplifier’s output. The audio-DSP enables an optimal processing and controlling of the
audio signal through adjustable parameters like gain, digital cross-over, subsonic filter,
parametric EQs, peak/RMS-limiter and delays. It serves also for a flexible signal routing
of the loudspeaker outputs (e.g. for top units / monitors / subwoofer).
Factory presets and user presets can be chosen, loaded and adjusted through a
navigation pad with a clear controlling scheme.
The integrated 15“ subwoofer provides a low-frequent radiation starting from 40 Hz to
160 Hz. The special tunnel geometry enables a high sound pressure
with extra low
power compression and a low flow noise.
The high-quality scratch- and impact-resistant black polyurethane coating offers optimal
road suitability. An additional protection of the loudspeaker offers the comb-grid with
black acoustic foam and the special impregnation of the loudspeaker membrane against
moisture impacts.
