Overview VEXO1xxA: Back
1) Integrated carry handle
The integrated handle allows easy movement and handling
of the speaker.
2) Mic / line switch
The switch changes the input sensitivity of the amplier in the
speaker. In the ‘Mic’ position the input has a higher sensitivity
than in the ‘line’ position (+23dB). In ‘line’ you need a stronger
signal to drive the signal. For safety reasons, press and hold
for three seconds to change the input.

3) Mode selection:
You can choose from different modes. By pushing the button,
you can switch between Full Range, Satellite and Custom
modes.
In full-range, the full capacity of the speaker is used. In
satellite, the low frequencies are cut away. This requests
for an external bass cabinet to be connected to the system.
In custom mode WaveDynamics™ can be congured live
thanks to the ANI44XT module or can be uploaded thanks
to the provided USB-port.
4) Status LED:
PROTECT: The Amplier Protection Mode is a shutdown state
that ampliers can enter in critical situations. The purpose of
the shutdown state is to prevent damage to the amplier or
other system components.
CLIP: The Clip LED illuminates when the corresponding
channel is working at maximum level. To ensure the best
signal-to-noise ratio, the Clip LED may only illuminate at peak
levels.
-20 dB: the -20dB LED illuminates when the input signal
reaches the -20 dBV level.
SIGNAL: The Signal LED illuminates whenever a signal is
detected.
POWER: When the VEXO is on, the LED is blue. By default,
the VEXO will go into standby mode after 20 minutes of
inactivity. This is indicated by the LED turning orange. The
time period for activating standby can be adjusted in the
device settings.
5) USB port for custom WaveDynamics™ speaker
presets
WaveDynamics™ is an audio control and processing
technology implemented in AUDAC ampliers. The powerful
DSP processor, that is built in the ampliers, can deliver
control over the most advanced acoustic congurations.
Custom WaveDynamics™ can be made in the AUDAC
Touch2™ app and imported true this USB port.
6) Gain control:
The gain for the inputs is adjustable within a range of -∞dB
to +7 dB which can accept either microphone or line level
signals.
7) Optional Dante network audio
The VEXO has the option to be equipped with a ANI44XT
Dante™ audio network. The installation of this optional
module allows these ampliers to be integrated into any
DANTE enabled AV network and transfer digital audio with
any compatible product on the market, ranging from music
sources to microphone systems, mixers, and many more.
When the optional ANI44XT module is installed, the
VEXO1xxA can be connected to the network here.
8) Input connections
The combination input of XLR / 6.3mm Jack and the
3-pin terminal block accepts both XLR or TRS balanced
connections (such as microphones or other professional
audio signals) and unbalanced 6.3mm Jack connections
(such as laptops, phones, CD players,... ).
9) Powercon mains input connection:
For power supply, the VEXO model is equipped with a
compatible PowerCON TRUE1 connector. The powerCON
TRUE1 is a locking 3 conductor equipment AC connector.
10) Line output connections:
This XLR or 3-pin terminal block output connection should
be used to connect an active VEXO loudspeaker. Be sure
that the polarity of the speakers is correct.
It is possible to intercept the line out signal at various times.
See the block diagram on page 11 for more information.
Filters and/or delays pre-made in the AUDAC Touch2™ app
can be transferred via the line out of the VEXO1xxA.
11) Integrated 35 mm pole adapter:
The pole adapter makes it possible to install the VEXO quickly
and conveniently on speaker stands with a tube diameter
of 35 mm.

The VEXO1xxA features a digital signal processor (DSP).
A DSP is a processor specially designed for processing
and modifying digital signals. In this block diagram, we
give an overview of the processor's operation.

DSP functions
DSP functions can be adjusted via the AUDAC Touch™ 2 app. The AUDAC Touch™2 app can be downloaded for free
via the AUDAC website, Google play or Apple App store.
After the adjustment, the new DSP can be placed on the VEXOxxA via a ash drive thanks to the provided USB port.
When the ANI44XT module is installed, the new DSP is updated live.
Talkover: The talkover functionallity ducks other music sources to a certain level so spoken messages can be heared.
Line out selectable: A choice can be made to output the line out through XLR or terminal block
Standby: Standby mode can be enabled or disabled.The duration when standby is activated can be adjusted in the
app. The default standby time is 20 minutes.
Phase shift: Phase shift is an audio effect that exploits the way sound waves react to each other when they are out of
phase. By splitting an audio signal into two signals and adjusting the relative phasing between them, all kinds of inter-
esting sweeping effects can be produced.
Noise gate: A noise gate is a type of audio processor used to control excess noise in an audio signal.
TouchLink: TouchLink™ is a system that can be used for creating virtual zones by linking multiple compatible devices
with each other. In AUDAC Touch™ 2 or directly on the device you can select multiple devices or outputs that should
react to the user as one zone.

Connecting VEXO1xxA
Several VEXOxxAs can be linked to each other. Make sure all devices are switched off
Insert an XLR cable or terminal block into the ‘LINE OUT’ output at the rst VEXO. This cable can be connected to the next
VEXO in ‘INPUT CH1’ or ‘INPUT CH2’. Make sure to set the EQ to precisely the same value on all of the speakers to avoid
unbalanced tones in the sound.
Repeat these steps for the amount of speakers you desire.

Updating VEXO1xxA
The software for the VEXO1xxA is constantly being improved. Please check www.audac.eu for possible updates.
New software can be downloaded under ‘downloads’ on the product page of the VEXO1xxA. Place the update le on a
USB drive.
Insert the USB stick into the back of the VEXO. The POWER LED will blink (orange or blue).
During the update process the rst MIC light will turn green.
When the update is completed the POWER LED will turn blue.
