Manual VENIA-8sp DDA - 2021-12 EN
Introduction
Setup
The VENIA-8sp DDA loudspeaker is designed for standing, vertical operation. A variety of accessories is availab-
le from Voice-Acoustic to securely attach the loudspeaker safely on tripods, distance rods or hanging it from on
trusses, ceilings and walls. Ensure that the loudspeakers are securely attached to prevent personal injury and
damage of property.
Connecting cables
When connecting the cables to the loudspeaker, ensure that the polarity (+/-) and pin assignment (1/2) is
correct. Incorrect connection results in a significant change in the loudspeaker sound characteristics and may
damage the compression driver.
The two connection sockets on the back of the loudspeaker can be used to link multiple loudspeakers on a
single amplifier. Note that parallel connection reduces the total impedance (Ω) seen by the amplifier. The total
impedance of loudspeakers connected in parallel must not drop below the minimum operating impedance of the
amplifier.
Voice-Acoustic recommends to use the available 4 x 4 mm² Speakon cables for mobile use.
We recommend wiring the basses with at least 4 mm² in installations. The cables of the tops in installations
must be sufficiently dimensioned according to impedance, power and cable length.

Operation
A VENIA-8sp DDA can feed a VENIA-8 bi-amp via a 4 pin cable.
The woofers and compression drivers are designed in 8 Ω.
Make sure the appropriate preset has been selected before connecting the speaker to the system power amp or
self-powered subwoofer.
Using the wrong preset can damage parts of the loudspeaker.
