System Configuration
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

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
panelheatsink.
LED Functions
LimitLED-Whenilluminatedthisindicatesthatthesystem

Gain Structure and Limiting
The VXNET gain structure is designed to allow a low-
levelsourcedevicetodrivetheloudspeakertofulloutput.
Maximum specied SPL will be achieved with a 4 dBu

highqualitycompressionengagedasneededtomaintain
sonicintegritywithoutclipping.
Equalisation
The VXNET loudspeaker requires no equalisation or
correction to overcome system limitations; equalisation
is necessary only to compensate for difcult acoustic
environments.
Rigging and Safety Procedures
