Overview VEXO1xxA: Back
1) Mic / line switch
The VEXO is designed to accept both mic and line
level inputs. The switch changes the input level
between Mic to Line levels. For safety reasons, press
and hold for three seconds to change the input.
CAUTION: line-level source to a mic-level input
will cause the sound to be loud and distorted.The
line-level signal is stronger (+23dB) than what the
mic-level input can accept.
2) Mode selection:
The VEXO has three frequency modes for various
applications. A dedicated switch changes the VEXO’s
frequency response between Full Range, Satellite,
and Custom modes.
In full range, the speaker covers the entire frequency
range as standard. In satellite, the low frequencies
are cut away for an external subwoofer cabinet
reinforcement.
In custom mode WaveDynamics™ can be
configured live thanks to the ANI44XT module or
can be uploaded thanks to the provided USB-port.

other professional audio signals) and unbalanced
6.3mm Jack connections (such as laptops, phones,
CD players,... ).
8) 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) Integrated 35 mm pole adapter at the bottom
of the device:
The pole adapter makes it possible to install the
VEXO quickly and conveniently on speaker stands
with a tube diameter of 35 mm.
9) Line output connections:
This XLR or 3-pin terminal block output connection
should be used to carry line-level output to another
active VEXO loudspeaker. It is possible to assign
INPUT CH1, INPUT CH2 or MONO MIX for LINE
OUTPUT connection.
In factory default, LINE OUTPUT signal will be set
to ‘full range’. The full factory default settings are
available at the end of this user manual.

DSP functions
DSP functions can be adjusted via AUDAC Touch2™ app when the ANI44XT module is installed. The AUDAC
Touch™2 app can be downloaded for free from the AUDAC website, Google play or Apple App store. The
default administrator password (access to all functions) is “VEXO” and the default user password (access to
basic functions) is “user”. If you want to make changes to the settings, you must log in with the administrator
password.
After adjustment, DSP adjustments can be exported into a USB and loaded to other VEXO1xxAs using the
USB port.
How to save a settings file from a VEXO1xxA to a USB drive (as backup, or to duplicate to another
cabinet)
- Save a SET file to a USB (in a box format like in the email)
- Make a folder AUDAC in the root of the USB drive
- Create SaveSET.txt in this audac folder
- Place the USB drive into the USB port VEXO1xxA
- The USB LED will blink shortly
- The SET file can be found in the AUDAC folder
How to load a settings file into VEXO1xxA:
- Upload a SET file to the VEXO1xxA (in a box format like in the email)
- Copy a VEXO1xxA SET file into AUDAC folder in the root of the USB drive. (eg: myVexoSettings.SET)
- Place the USB drive into the USB port VEXO1xxA
- The USB LED will blink shortly
- Settings are now copied to the VEXO1xxA
Adjustable DSP functions:
Line out selectable: In order to link two or more VEXO1XXAs, the output signal can be routed either
through XLR or terminal block.
Talkover: The talkover functionallity ducks other music sources to a certain level so spoken messages can
be heared.
Maximum volume: This function allows you to manually set a maximum level on the output of the VEX-
O1XXA. This limitation is useful to prevent accidentally playing too loud sound or damaging the speaker.
Delay: A maximum of 31 milliseconds of delay can be set on all outputs, to compensate for a maximum
distance of 10.54 meters between audio sources. For convenience, distance information is shared under
the delay time.
WaveTune™: WaveTune provides installers and end-users with an intuitive tool for adjusting audio pro-
cessing. At the moment it replaces the equalizer functionality. We aim to include all types of filters for
management with WaveTune.

VEXO1xxA - User manual012
Auto mute: The auto mute will automatically mute the amplifier when the level of the input signal is be-
low a certain predefined level. This eliminates unwanted noise caused by an unused input on the outputs.
This works separately for both output channels.
Antiphase: Anti-phase feature inverts the output signal phase to avoid any phase cancellations due to
loudspeaker placing.
Standby:When standby mode is enabled a default standby time is 20 minutes and can be adjustable via
AUDAC Touch™ 2 app.
Dynamic bass boost: Dynamic bass boost applies a correction filter on the low frequencies depending
on the low-frequency level of the content This correction makes the reproduction warm and detailed at
low volumes. The same correction filter reduces the low-frequency levels at the higher volumes, allowing
the loudspeaker to handle higher sound pressure levels with less distortion.
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 you can select multiple devices or outputs that should react
to the user as one zone.

Chapter 4
Connecting VEXO1xxA
Linking two or more VEXO1xxA:
Insert an XLR cable or terminal block into the ‘LINE OUT’ output of the first VEXO1xxA. The other end of this
cable can be connected to the next VEXO1xxA’s ‘INPUT CH1’ or ‘INPUT CH2’. Make sure to set or load the same
DSP settings on all of the speakers to avoid unpleasant listening experience. You can repeat these steps for
as many speakers as you desire.
Updating VEXO1xxA
The USB slot can also be used for firmware updates to the cabinet. The VEXO1xxA firmware is constantly
being improved for better perforamce. The new firmware files (*.img files) will be available for download from
the VEXO1xxA product page on the AUDAC website. Please check www.audac.eu for updates.
Loading firmware updates:
Firmware updates can be performed by copying the firmware files to an USB drive and placing the USB drive
into the USB port of VEXO1xxA. These updates are only required for servicing and/or when implementing
new functionalities to the system. They are not required to be performed by the user. Please contact your
distributor/seller/technical service for further assistance.
Make sure the files are stored inside the root of the USB drive and the filename is: ‘VEXO1XXA.IMG’. (The
complete file path should be ‘...\VEXO1XXA.IMG’)
For loading the firmware update, simply insert the USB memory drive into the USB port of the VEXO1xxA.
The firmware update files will be automatically discovered and loaded when stored in the correct path.
The POWER LED will blink when the data transfer is active. Make sure the data transfer is complete (LED
stopped blinking) before the USB drive is removed. During the firmware update process, the first MIC light
will turn green. Loading the firmware update can take several minutes before complete. When the update
is completed the POWER LED will turn blue.

Chapter 5
Horizontal mounting - rotate the horn
If the VEXO1xxA is mounted horizontally, the horn must be rotated 90°. This is needed to maintain the correct
coverage pattern (90° x 70°).
To rotate the VEXO1xxA’s horn, the
grille must be removed first. To do
this, the eight screws on the sides
must be unscrewed.
Once the grille is removed, the
eight screws that holds the horn
must be unscrewed. Once these are
unscrewes, the horn can be rotated
90°.
After the horn is rotated, the horn
and the grill can be reattached using
the same screws respectevly.
The AUDAC logo can be also rotated.
No tools are required for this. Simply,
pull the logo out slightly and rotate it.
In case of uncertainty, check the rotation of the horn to
ensure the best sound experience.
Compare the position of the horn with the corresponding
drawings.
