Venu 6 architectural specifications
The loudspeaker shall be a passive two-way system consisting of one high power 6.5” (165
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
elliptic horn in a trapezoidal enclosure.
The low frequency transducer shall be constructed on a cast aluminium frame, with a treated
paper cone, 38.1 mm (1.5”) voice coil, wound with copper wires on a high quality Kapton voice
coil former, for high power handling and long-term reliability. The high frequency transducer
shall project it’s sound through an elliptic horn with a 150 mm (6”) baffle diameter to achieve
pattern control and low distortion.
Performance specifications for a typical production unit shall be as follows: the usable on-axis
bandwidth shall be 72 Hz to 22 kHz (±3 dB) and shall average 90° 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 121 dB peak measured at 1 m using IEC268-5 pink noise. Power
handling shall be 200 W AES at a rated impedance of 8
:
. Crossover point shall be at 2.4 kHz
using a 3rd order filter (18 dB per octave). The system shall be powered by its own dedicated
power amplification module with DSP management. The wiring connection shall be via a single
removable lockable wiring connector with four screw-down terminals (one pair for input and
one pair for loop-out 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 to
ensure secure attachment.
The enclosure shall be of a trapezoidal shape constructed from a 15 mm multi-laminate
birch plywood of 15 mm construction, with a textured polyurethane finish and shall include
integral threaded inserts for the fitment of wall and ceiling mounting hardware with external
dimensions of (W) 372 mm x (H) 239 mm x (D) 200 mm (14.6” x 9.4” x 7.9”). Weight shall be 8.5
kg (18.7 lbs).
The loudspeaker shall be the Void Acoustics Venu 6.
