Venu 215 architectural specifications
The loudspeaker shall be a sub bass system consisting of two high power 15” (381 mm), direct
radiating reflex loaded low frequency (LF) transducers in a rectangular enclosure.
The low frequency transducers 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 with a maximum on axis SPL of 136 dB peak (130 dB continuous)
measured at 1 m using IEC268-5 pink noise. Power handling shall be 1000 W AES at a rated
impedance of 4
:
. Pressure sensitivity shall be 99 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 15 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) 860 mm x (D) 636 mm (17.6” x 33.9” x 25”). Weight shall be 62.5 kg (137.8 lbs).
The loudspeaker system shall be a Void Acoustics Venu 215.
