All loudspeakers in the VXNET range are integrated

designswhichincludesystemspecicEQandprotection

circuitry, without the need for external amplication. For

room equalization, delay and other commissioning or

orTDX1Digital Controller.Pleaserefertothe fullVXNET

Seriesmanual.

AC Power Requirements

VXNET products are equipped with Neutrik powerCON

mainsconnectorswhichmatewiththeNeutrikNAC3FCA

Cable connector, providing quick lock with a securing

leveratpower-in.

This AC mains connector is supplied with each VXNET

product.

VXNET module in VXNET loudspeakers has a universal

power supply. It will operate on any AC mains supply

from100Vto250V(+/-10%)at50or60Hz,although

with reduced poweroutputcapability at the lowvoltage

extremes. This allows continued operation even when

using long, thin power cables, or when powered from

portablegeneratorsthatareunabletomaintainfullnominal

voltage.

Cooling

Do not install this equipment in an enclosed space. Do

notlimitfreeventilationand movementofair aroundthe

back panel. Ensure that there is at least 100 mm (4”)

of space around all sides of the product for ventilation.

VXNET products do not have cooling fans; the highly

efcient switch mode power supply and proprietary

ClassDoutputstagehavelowcurrentdrawandtherefore

requireonly the convection coolingprovided bythe rear

Equalisation

The VXNET loudspeaker requires no equalisation or

correction to overcome system limitations; equalisation

is necessary only to compensate for difcult acoustic

environments.
