General Safety Instructions:
Loudspeakers produce a static magnetic eld even if they are not connected or are not in use. Therefore make
sure when erecting and transporting loudspeakers that they are nowhere near equipment and objects which
may be impaired or damaged by an external magnetic eld. Persons with cardiac pacemakers must maintain a
safe distance.
The minimum recommended safety clearance is 1 m.
Never stand in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers driven at a high level. Professional loudspeaker systems
are capable of causing a sound pressure level detrimental to human health. Seemingly non-critical sound levels
(from approx. 90 dB SPL) can cause hearing damage if people are exposed to it over a long period.
All connected cables must be laid in such a way that they cannot be crushed by objects and that nobody can
step on them! Replace damaged cables immediately and do not use them!
Use only accessory parts specied by Voice-Acoustic or original accessory parts from Voice-Acoustic. Check all
cabinets and accessories regularly for wear and replace them if necessary.
Do not set up the loudspeakers in places where they are permanently exposed to moisture, dust, dirt or direct
sunlight.
Care
Wipe the surface of loudspeakers only with a damp cloth and pure water. In case of heavy pollution, repeat the
above procedure several times if necessary. Do not use any chemical additives or aggressive detergents, as
these may harm and damage the surfaces.
Transport and storage
When transporting and storing the unit, it is important to ensure that the surface and front grill of the loudspe-
aker are not damaged. Moisture can penetrate through exposed wood surfaces and cause the wood to swell.
A bent or broken front grill will no longer adequately protect the sensitive speaker membranes. In addition,
appreciable dust deposits may considerably impair the functionality of a loudspeaker membrane. For this rea-
son, the loudspeakers should be transported and stored in a safe, careful, dry and largely dust-free manner.
The following accessory parts for transport and storage are available from Voice-Acoustic:
■Carrying bag for 1 x VENIA-6 (Art.-Nr. 504602000)
■Heavy-duty ightcase for up to two 2 x VENIA-6 (Art.-Nr. 504603000)
Note: The original packaging is unsuitable as permanent storage and transport packaging!
Warranty
The warranty period is 24 months from date of delivery.
On our choice we will eliminate any lack of conformity with repair or with replacement of the faulty goods. The
place of performance for warranty services is Voice-Acoustic headquarters in Dörverden. In case of remedy of
defects, the buyer shall bear all costs resulting from transportation of the goods to Voice-Acoustic headquarters
in Dörverden.
The ordering party is not entitled to remedy the defect by itself or to organise a replacement and to charge
such activities to Voice-Acoustic. In case of self remedy by the ordering party the warranty given by Voice-
Acoustic becomes void.
Warranty doesn’t apply to parts of wear and tear, such as threaded points, such as threaded points, ying
tracks, tilting pole socket, rubber feet and the SpeakON®connectors.

Introduction
Setup
The VENIA-6sp DDA loudspeaker is designed for standing, vertical operation. A variety of accessories is availab-
le from Voice-Acoustic to securely attach the loudspeaker safely on tripods, distance rods or hanging it from on
trusses, ceilings and walls. Ensure that the loudspeakers are securely attached to prevent personal injury and
damage of property.
Connecting cables
When connecting the cables to the loudspeaker, ensure that the polarity (+/-) and pin assignment (1/2) is
correct. Incorrect connection results in a signicant change in the loudspeaker sound characteristics and may
damage the compression driver.
The two connection sockets on the back of the loudspeaker can be used to link multiple loudspeakers on a
single amplier. Note that parallel connection reduces the total impedance (Ω) seen by the amplier. The total
impedance of loudspeakers connected in parallel must not drop below the minimum operating impedance of the
amplier.
Voice-Acoustic recommends to use the available 4 x 4 mm² Speakon cables for mobile use.
We recommend wiring the basses with at least 4 mm² in installations. The cables of the tops in installations
must be suciently dimensioned according to impedance, power and cable length.
Simplied display without consideration of loudspeaker impedances
Operation
A VENIA-6sp DDA can feed a VENIA-6 via a 4 pin cable.
The woofers and compression drivers are designed in 8 Ω.
Make sure the appropriate preset has been selected before connecting the speaker to the system power amp or
self-powered subwoofer.
Using the wrong preset can damage parts of the loudspeaker.

line array so that they sit ush head to head.
4. Connect the column line arrays using the four headstacking
connectors (E). Again, use the M10 countersunk screws on the
sides of the column line arrays.
Note: Please note that the column line arrays only have rub-
ber feet on the underside. To avoid damaging the housing, you
should use underlays when mounting.
