System Configuration
All loudspeakers in the VXNET range are integrated
designswhichincludesystemspecicEQandprotection
circuitry, without the need for external amplication. For
room equalization, delay and other commissioning or
setup functions, we recommend you use a Vnet SC1
orTDX1Digital Controller. PleaserefertothefullVXNET
Seriesmanual.
AC Power Requirements
VXNET products are equipped with Neutrik powerCON
mainsconnectorswhichmatewiththeNeutrikNAC3FCA
Cable connector, providing quick lock with a securing
leveratpower-in.
This AC mains connector is supplied with each VXNET
product.
VXNET module in VXNET loudspeakers has a universal
power supply. It will operate on any AC mains supply
from100Vto250V(+/-10%)at50or60Hz,although
with reduced power output capability at the low voltage
extremes. This allows continued operation even when
using long, thin power cables, or when powered from
portablegeneratorsthatareunabletomaintainfullnominal
voltage.
Cooling
Do not install this equipment in an enclosed space. Do
notlimitfreeventilationand movementofairaroundthe
back panel. Ensure that there is at least 100 mm (4”)
of space around all sides of the product for ventilation.
VXNET products do not have cooling fans; the highly
efcient switch mode power supply and proprietary
ClassDoutputstagehavelowcurrentdrawandtherefore
require only the convection cooling provided by the rear
panelheatsink.

Equalisation
The VXNET loudspeaker requires no equalisation or

is necessary only to compensate for difcult acoustic
environments.
