Venu 115 architectural specifications
The loudspeaker shall be a compact sub bass system consisting of one high power 15” (381
mm), direct radiating, reflex loaded low frequency (LF) transducer in a rectangular enclosure.
The low frequency transducer shall be constructed on a cast aluminium frame, with a treated
paper cone, high excursion 101.6 mm (4”) voice coil, wound with copper wire on a high quality
voice coil former, for high power handling and long-term reliability.
Performance specifications for a typical production unit shall be as follows: the usable
bandwidth shall be 38 Hz to 160 Hz (±3 dB) and shall have a maximum on axis SPL of 129 dB
peak (123 dB continuous) measured at 1m using IEC268-5 pink noise. Power handling shall
be 500 W AES at a rated impedance of 8
:
. Pressure sensitivity shall be 96 dB measured at
1W/1m. 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 constructed from a 18 mm multi-laminate birch plywood finished in
textured polyurethane and shall contain fixture points for a pressed weather-resistant, powder
coated steel grille to protect the low frequency transducers with the external dimensions of (H)
446 mm x (W) 448 mm x (D) 636 mm (17.6” x 17.6” x 25”). Weight shall be 24 kg (52.9 lbs).
The loudspeaker system shall be a Void Acoustics Venu 115.
