Point Source Array Modules

The VARIAi loudspeaker family includes 3 full-range array modules and
a 15 inch subwoofer. All have been designed to offer the ultimate in
versatility and performance.
The VA / VAX101i-7 long throw module features a closely controlled 7.5
degree vertical dispersion ideal for long throw applications. It is most
commonly used at the top of high power vertical arrays.
The VA / VAX101i-15 with 15 degrees of vertical coverage is a medium
throw module and is most often used in the center of vertical arrays or in
stand alone systems.
The VA / VAX101i-22 has 22.5 degrees of vertical coverage and is the
most versatile of the array modules. In vertical arrays it is used at the
bottom of the array to provide near eld coverage, Stood upright and
mated with other modules, it becomes a compact but powerful horizontal
array.
All 3 models offer a wide range of horizontal coverage options. A 90o
waveguide is standard but 60oand 120oare also available along with
revolutionary 60o to 90oand 120o to 90otransitional waveguides. The
transitional waveguides produce a trapezoidal coverage pattern ideally
suited for many square and rectangular rooms and often eliminate the
need for additional side or down ll loudspeakers.

The VA / VAX15Si is a powerful 15 inch subwoofer that doubles as a
base for oor standing systems or as a suspension platform for own
vertical arrays. VA/VAX15Si 15” subwoofers can be own alongside, be-
hind, or at the top of the array, depending on the requirements. Universal
hardware allows for cardioid arrays to be assembled as and when the
need arises. Simply ip one or more subs within
the array and adjust the onboard DSP to provide a highly directional low
frequency array.
VARIAi loudspeakers may be self powered with a powerful built-in bi-
amplier equipped with RHAON digital signal processing, control and
supervision or they may be passive, including a passive crossover, for
use with external amplication.
The VARIAi approach is based on the use of 3 different shape cabi-
nets, each having a vertical coverage pattern that is complementary
to the cabinet shape. Thus, the VA/VAX101i-7 has 7.5º sides and 7.5º
vertical coverage. The -15 modules have 15osides with 15ocoverage
and the -22 modules have 22.5osides with 22.5ocoverage. The closely
controlled vertical coverage allows the output of modules in tight packed
vertical arrays to sum coherently; thus three 15omodules provide 45o
of vertical coverage, just as two 22.5 modules provide 45oof vertical
coverage.
