CONSTRUCTION
Throughout the VariLine series,
only selected components of the
highest quality are used.
These include not only the crossovers
and signal processors but
also DYNACORD‘s innovative protective
circuits: the individual loudspeaker
components are safeguarded
from thermal overload by the
all-electronic Voice Coil Tracking
Protection system as well as halogen
protectors. VariLine loudspeakers
can therefore be driven by extremely
powerful amplifiers to obtain
the widest possible dynamic range
without their voice coils sustaining
damage – even when operating
errors occur. Furthermore, any
thermal overload triggers a ‚soft‘
power reduction, free from the distracting
switching noise that is the
bugbear of conventional protective
circuits. The 12“ and 15“ models
offer the additional option of switching
to active two-way operation.
The large-format VariLine
constant directivity HF horns have
been optimized using advanced
CAD software and can be rotated
through 90° for horizontal applications.
As well as exemplarily low distortion,
these horns are remarkable for the
very low frequencies at which they
retain their directivity. The smaller
enclosures are equipped with
Electro-Voice DH3 titanium domes,
whilst the VL 122 and larger
models feature Electro-Voice ND6
neodymium drivers with 3“ voice
coils and 1.4“ exits. These advantageous
horn / driver configurations
provide crisp and powerful
high-resolution HF reproduction.
VariLine enclosures are made
from extremely rugged, multiply
birch with a dual-component
finish sufficiently resilient to
withstand the roughest of handling
on the road and on stage.
The front is protected by a sturdy
powder-coated steel grille lined
with high quality acoustic foam.
The logo can be rotated through
90° and therefore looks right whether
the enclosures are mounted vertically
or horizontally. The 12“ and
15“ enclosures are asymmetric,
which not only optimizes them for
floor monitoring but also facilitates
the creation of clusters.
