Material damage
Loudspeakers contain magnets which may
damage electronic equipment such as hard
drives, bank cards, and video monitors.
Please store and transport such equipment
separately or within appropriate distance to
the loudspeakers.
Personal injury
Never stand in the immediate vincinity
of loudspeakers driven at a high level.
Professional loudspeaker systems are
capable of causing sound pressure levels
detrimental to human health. Even seemingly
non-critical sound levels (from approx. 95 dB
SPL) can cause hearing damage if people are
exposed to it over longer periods of time.
In order to prevent accidents when deploying
loudspeakers on the ground or when flown,
please take note of the following:
When setting up the loudspeakers or loud-
speaker stands, make sure they are standing
on a firm surface. If you place several
systems on top of one another, use appropri-
ate securing gear to prevent movement.
Only use accessories which have been
tested and approved by NNNN for assembly
and mobile deployment. Pay attention to
the correct application and maximum load
capacity of the accessories as detailed in our
rigging manuals.
Ensure that all third party hardware, fixings
and fasteners used for installation or mobile
deployment are of an appropriate size and
load safety factor. Pay attention to the man-
ufacturers’ instructions and to the relevant
safety guidelines.
Be careful of pinching and other physical
hazards when deploying or transporting
equipment.
Regularly check the loudspeaker cabinets
and accessories for visible signs of wear and
tear, and replace them when necessary.
Regularly check all load bearing bolts in the
mounting devices.

DEVOR 16 V1.1 EN

The DEVOR 16 is a high performance horn loaded
subwoofer system with two 21” drivers. It provides a
low frequency response with very low distortion and a
fast impulse response. The horn design provides high
quality audio reproduction down to 16Hz.
Sub cardioid
The DEVOR 16 has a sub cardioid dispersion pattern
all through the frequency range. This allows the
sound pressure to be directed towards the audience,
and minimizes the need for acoustical treatment of
the room, as less energy is reflected off surrounding
surfaces.

Patented technology
The patents employed in the DEVOR
16 enable a high degree of direc-
tivity. The horn loading mechanism
enables sensitivity, impulse response
and distortion level that is without
competition.
Deployment
The DEVOR 16 can be used stand-
alone, stacked or set up in line
with other DEVOR 16 cabinets. The
DEVOR subwoofers are also designed
with force cancellation, as the two
horn loaded drivers are working in
opposite directions. This means that
vibrations are not transferred through
the physical structure or to adjacent
cabinets, surfaces or equipment.
Materials
The DEVOR subwoofers are made
of spruce plywood coated with a
weather, scratch, and impact resist-
ant polyurethane coating. The grilles,
handles and rear panel are made of
coated aluminium.
Applications
The DEVOR 16 is appropriate for a
broad range of applications. From
clubs and arenas to concert halls
and larger auditoriums. The DEVOR
16 can be combined seamlessly with
the TURAGE 90 and GRAFT arrayable
point sources.

Electroacoustics
Incorporated into the rear panel are two Neutrik
SpeakON 4 pole connectors. All four pins of both
connectors are wired in parallel with pins 1+/1- con-
nected to the front driver and pins 2+/2- connected
to the rear driver. While using one of the connectors
as input, the second can be used to interconnect
several cabinets.

Operation
The DEVOR 16 is a subwoofer that can be driven by any
Powersoft amplifier with a NNNN preset or amplifiers with at
least two output channels of an appropriate capacity and the
NNNN preset loaded into its DSP/external DSP, any of these
solutions must be wired into a SpeakON 4 pole connection.
Updated Powersoft amplifiers include presets for the DEVOR
16 in several different setups, which can be accessed
through the native menu Speaker preset > NNNN > Devor >
Devor 16. A detailed description of the operation of Powersoft
amplifiers can be found in the Powersoft Quick Guides.
